Some sections of this booklet do not apply to all vehicles. If this is the
case, a text at the start of the section indicates to which vehicles it
applies, e. g. “Applies to vehicles with CD changer”.

WARNING
The CD player is a class 1 laser product. If it is opened, or is faulty
or damaged, there is a risk of invisible laser beams escaping from
the unit. The CD player contains no parts that have to be serviced.
Any repair work that needs to be done should, therefore, be carried
out by Škoda Service exclusively.
Caution
• Only 12 cm standard CDs should be used, not 8 cm single CDs. Only
round CDs should be inserted in the CD slot. “Special shape CDs” can not
be played and they will damage the CD player.
• Slide the CD with the printed side up into the CD slot up to the point
where it is drawn in automatically. Hold the CD at the sides. Avoid leaving
fingerprints on the CD. Clean the CD with a dry, lint-free cloth. When doing
this, wipe the CD from the centre outwards. Do not clean the CDs using
alcohol or solvents. Do not place the CDs near heat sources or in the
direct sunlight. Do not write on the CDs and do not attach stickers to them.
Note
• The upper 6 function keys are only active if a CD changer has been
connected.
• CD-R and CD-RW formats can also be played, depending on the

Navigation
Overview
How does the navigation system work, and how is it
operated?
An optimal route is defined using sensors, satellites and
traffic reports and the driver is then guided to his or her
destination.
The current vehicle position is determined using a system of satellites
(GPS - Global Positioning System). Sensors in the vehicle measure
distances that have been driven. Measured values are compared using
the detailed map material on the navigation CD and corrected with the
assistance of TMC traffic announcements as necessary. An optimal route
to the destination is determined in this way.
Navigation announcements and direction arrows shown on the screen
and in the combi-instrument guide you safely and conveniently to your
destination. You can drive to a given address in towns you are unfamiliar
with, or drive to the nearest garage or be guided to a hotel.
In this chapter, answers can be found to the following questions:
• What rules do I have to keep to when using the navigation system?
⇒ page 14, “Safety”
• How do I use the navigation CD? ⇒ page 15, “The navigation CD”
• Can I listen to music when using the navigation system? ⇒ page 15,
“General notes”
• What happens if I leave the recommended route? ⇒ page 15,
“General notes”
• Can a navigation announcement be repeated? ⇒ page 39,
“Announcement of navigation recommendations”
• How does the radio navigation system respond when driving in an
underground car park or a tunnel? ⇒ page 15, “General notes”
• How do I enter destinations? ⇒ page 17, “Destination entry”
• How can I enter garages, restaurants or hotels as destinations?
⇒ page 21, “Special destinations close to the address”
• Can I store destinations in a memory? ⇒ page 23, “Destination
memory”
• What parameters can I set for route calculation? ⇒ page 27, “Param-
eters for route calculation”
• What can I see on the screen? ⇒ page 32, “Map and symbol displays”
• Can I stop the route guidance function before I reach my destination?
⇒ page 38, “Route guidance”
Safety
The navigation system determines the position of the vehicle, the direction
and distance and the route to a selected destination without taking traffic
regulations into account. Navigation recommendations are given as
announcements by the system. Direction arrows are also shown on the
screen. The destination is entered when the vehicle is stationary. The
route guidance function is designed for cars and is thus unsuitable for
larger commercial vehicles.
