Introductory information

Vehicle equipment

These operating instructions describe all possible equipment variants without
identifying them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent
equipment.

Consequently, this vehicle does not need to contain all of the equipment compo-
nents described in these operating instructions.

The level of equipment of your vehicle refers to your purchase contract of the ve­hicle. For more information, contact your local ŠKODA retailer.

The illustrations can differ in minor details from your vehicle; they are only inten­ded for general information.

Note

High volumes can cause sound resonance in the vehicle.



Safety information

WARNING

■

Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver, you are fully re­sponsible for the operation of your vehicle. Only use the device such that you
are in full control of your vehicle in every traffic situation - risk of accident!

■

Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside, e.g. sirens
from vehicles which have the right of way, such as police, ambulance and fire
brigade vehicles, can be heard at all time.

■

High volumes can cause hearing damage!



Component protection

Some electronic control units are factory-equipped with component protection.
The component protection was developed as a protection mechanism for:

›

impairment of factory- or garage-fitted control units after installation in another
vehicle (for example, after a theft);

›

impairment of components operated outside of the vehicle;

›

the possibility of a legitimate installation or change of control units for repairs
at a ŠKODA specialist garage.

When the component protection is enabled, the following message appears on
the display of the device Component theft protection: the infotainment system

is not fully available at present. Please switch on the ignition.

If the component protection does not activate by switching on the ignition,
please contact a ŠKODA specialist garage.



Touch screen

The unit is equipped with a so-called touch screen which can only be operated by
the touch of a finger.

CAUTION

■

The screen can be operated by a slight touch of a finger. Do not apply pressure

to the screen - risk of damage!

■

Do not use any objects to operate the screen - risk of damage!

■

Do not use solvents such as benzene or turpentine for cleaning, since they may

damage the screen surface.

Note

■

Use a soft cloth and, if necessary, methylated spirits, to remove fingerprints
from the screen. When doing so, ensure that you do not cause damage to other
parts of the interior.

■

It is not possible to operate the screen with your fingernails or while wearing
gloves.

■

Do not affix anything to the area of the unit below the screen. This could affect
the functioning of the sensors for the “zoom effect”.



Introductory information (familiarisation with the unit)

■

To protect the screen, you can use a suitable screen protector for touchpads

that does not affect the function of the touch screen.

■

The brightness of the screen is adjusted automatically depending on the bright­ness of the interior lighting. The automatic setting can be adjusted manual­ly » page 12.

Input screen for the search

The input screen with keypad is used to find entries in the unit memory (e.g.
phone contacts, addresses, etc.).

By pressing the function key with the corresponding character on the keypad of
the input screen, this character appears in the text line

.

Only those letters or symbols making up a logical entry will be available. Do not
forget to enter the blank space in names made up of more than one word, such
as Lorem Ipsum. It is not necessary to enter the entries including special charac­ters (diacritics).

The search for the most relevant terms is already initiated while you are entering
characters. Therefore, it is not necessary to enter the entire entry name.

In addition to the text line

A

, the number of matching entries is shown in the

function key B.
The number 1-99 indicates the number of matching entries that were found. If

even more entries were found, ** is indicated instead of a number. If less than 6

provided again and you can give a new command.

If even the 3rd. voice command is not recognised, the system plays the message
“Voice control cancelled” and the dialogue is closed.

Returning to higher-level menu

›



- Give the voice command Back.

Understanding of the voice commands depends on several factors.

›

Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive pauses.

›

Avoid a bad pronunciation.

›

Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, to reduce or stop disturbing exterior
noise.

›

It is recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the tone of your
voice is louder than the increased surrounding noise.

›

During the dialogue, limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. passengers talking
at the same time.

RDS (Radio Data System)

The RDS function is used to transmit program IDs and additional services, thus
enabling automatic station tracking, for example. In the event of sufficiently sat­isfactory reception, the suitable RDS radio stations will display the station name
instead of the station frequency.

In countries where the RDS function is not supported sufficiently, we recommend
turning off the RDS and AF functions. When the RDS and AF functions are switch­ed on, they may affect the functionality of the radio.

AF (Alternative Frequency)

The AF function ensures that the best receivable frequency of the selected sta­tion is automatically and precisely set.

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting)

DAB is the digital transmission of radio programmes based on the DAB, DAB+ or
DMB standards. It allows multiple stations to be transmitted in a single frequency
in the form of a so-called ensemble.

It also allows for the transmission of additional data and information (e.g. mes­sages, sport, weather, warnings, etc.).

Traffic programme (TP)

.

Traffic monitoring is indicated by the letters  in the display.
While playing in Media mode, the last selected radio station continues to be re-

ceived in the background if it supports traffic information. If a radio station is set
that does not support TP, the most appropriate TP station is set automatically in
the background to continuously receive traffic reports in the media.

The radio works the same in a selected AM frequency range. If no traffic pro­gramme station can be found because, for example, radio reception is interrupted
in general, No TP will be displayed instead of TP.

Note

TP (traffic program identification) - Traffic information identification - the selec-

ted radio station broadcasts the TP signal (traffic radio).

DAB programme tracking

If a DAB station is a member of several ensembles, when the signal is poor, the
same station is searched in a different ensemble.

Auto-change DAB -FM

If the DAB signal is poor, the unit will try to find a corresponding FM station for
the DAB station you are currently listening to.

For auto-change to work, the DAB and FM stations must send a sender ID.
While the station is being received via the FM frequency band, (FM) will appear

next to the station name . When the corresponding DAB station is in range again,
the (FM) display disappears.

If a DAB station is also not available in the FM frequency band due to poor recep­tion, the radio will be switched to mute with the  icon displayed (DAB signal not
available).

If you do not want automatic station change (e.g. when driving through tunnels,
when reception may be lost temporarily), you can deactivate this func­tion » page 19.
