Introductory information
Navigation - Function sequence
Applies to Infotainment Columbus, Amundsen.
Route guidance is started as follows.
›
Search for/ enter a new destination or Select one of the stored destinations.
›
Confirm the route calculation in the destination details or if necessary, adjust
the route options.
›
Select the preferred route type, if this is requested by Infotainment.
A route calculation occurs and route guidance starts.
The route guidance is provided by graphical nav. announcements.
There is an option to add additional destinations during route guidance, or to
adapt the route.
If a traffic radio station is available, information concerning traffic delays is
evaluated by Infotainment and, if necessary, an alternative route is offered.
If you deviate from the route, then a new route calculation is carried out.
GPS satellite signal
Infotainment uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite signal for
route guidance.
Outside the range of the GPS satellite signal (e.g. in dense vegetation, in tun-
nels, parking garages, etc.), Infotainment navigates only with restrictions using
vehicle sensors.
Infotainment offers the option to show in the split screen display the following

sition of the vehicle and the satellite signal.

The navigation data is stored in the internal Infotainment memory.
Amundsen navigation data source
The navigation data is stored on an Original SD card.
In order to ensure the function of the navigation, the Original SD card, with the
navigation data, must be inserted in the respective slot in the external module
» page 124 .
If the original SD card should be damaged or lost, a new original SD card can be
purchased from the ŠKODA Original Accessories.
With a non-original SD Card, the navigation does not work .

216Driving

The longer insect residues, bird droppings, road salt and other aggressive de-
posits remain on the paintwork of your vehicle, the more detrimental their de-
structive effect can be. High temperatures, such as those caused by intensive
sun's rays, accentuate this caustic effect.
It is essential to also thoroughly clean the underside of the vehicle at the end
of the winter.
Washing by hand
Wash the vehicle from top to bottom, if necessary, wash using a soft sponge or
washing mitt and plenty of water with appropriate detergents. Wash out the
sponge or washing glove thoroughly at short intervals.
Use a different sponge for the wheels, door sills and lower vehicle areas.
Give the vehicle a good rinse after washing it and dry it off using a chamois
leather.
Automatic car washes
The usual precautionary measures must be taken before washing the vehicle
in an automatic car wash system (e.g. closing the windows and the sliding/tilt-
ing roof etc.).
If your vehicle is fitted with any particular attached parts, such as a spoiler,
roof rack system, two-way radio aerial etc., it is best to consult the operator of
the car wash system beforehand.
After an automatic wash with wax treatment, the blades of the wipers should
be cleaned with cleaning agents specially designed for the purpose, and then
degreased.
Pressure washer
When washing the vehicle with a high-pressure cleaner, the instructions for
use of the equipment must be observed. This particularly applies to informa-
tion with respect to the pressure and spray distance from the vehicle surface.WARNING■
When washing your vehicle in the winter: Water and ice in the braking
system can affect the braking efficiency – risk of accident!■
Take care when cleaning the underbody or the inside of the wheel wells -
there is a risk of injury on sharp metal parts!
CAUTION■ Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight, do not exert pressure on the body
while washing. The temperature of the washing water should be max. 60 ° C -
otherwise there is a risk of damaging the vehicle paint.■
Before driving through a car wash, fold in the exterior mirrors - there is a risk
of damage.
CAUTION
Washing the vehicle using pressure washers■The foils should not be washed using pressure washers - there is a risk of
damage .■
Do not aim the water jet directly at the lock cylinders or the door or opening
joints when washing the vehicle in the winter – there is a risk of freezing.
■
During cleaning always keep a sufficiently large spraying distance to the
parking sensors, the rear camera lens, to external decorative and protective
plastic parts (e.g. Roof racks, spoilers, protective strips) and other vehicle parts
made of non-metallic materials such as rubber hoses or insulation materials.
■
The sensors of the parking aid can be sprayed only for a short time and there
must be a minimum distance of 10 cm - there is a risk of damage.
■
When washing the vehicle, do not point the water jet directly at the tow bar
or the trailer socket - there is a risk of seal damage or washing out the grease.
