Preface
You have chosen a ŠKODA vehicle, which is fitted with an Amundsen navigation system (hereafter called
the radio navigation system) – we thank you for your confidence in us.
The new operating concept allows you to configure vehicle settings and to operate some electronic systems
centrally from the unit.
In addition to this Owner's Manual, please also carefully read the Vehicle Manual, because the operation in
accordance with these instructions is a prerequisite for proper use of the vehicle.
If you have any questions about your unit, please contact a ŠKODA Partner.

General information
Operating instructions
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 ve-
hicle. More information is available from the ŠKODA Partner 1) where you bought
the vehicle.
Please note that these instructions are meant only as an addendum to the infor-
mation presented in the Vehicle Manual for your vehicle. Therefore, they can be
used only in conjunction with the latest manual for this vehicle. For a detailed de-
scription of some functions listed in these instructions, see the Vehicle Manual.
If you have any questions about your radio navigation system, please contact a
ŠKODA Partner.
The illustrations can differ in minor details from your radio navigation system;
they are only intended for general information. 
Important information
Safety information
The device should only be used when traffic conditions permit safe use.
WARNING
■Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle.
■Only use the device so that you are in full control of your vehicle in every
traffic situation – there is the risk of accidents!
■Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside the vehicle,
e.g. sirens from vehicles to give way to, such as the police, ambulance and fire
brigade, can be heard at all times.
■High volumes can cause hearing damage. 
Screen cleaning
CAUTION
■Do not use solvents such as benzine or turpentine, which may damage the
screen surface.
■Treat the screen with care, as finger pressure or contact with sharp objects may
cause dents and scratches on the surface.
Note
The screen can be cleaned with a soft cloth and alcohol if necessary. 
Signal receipt
Car parks, tunnels, tall buildings or mountains can disrupt the radio and GPS sig-
nal even causing it to fail completely. 
Anti-theft protection
The anti-theft coding of your radio navigation system prevents an operation of
the system after a voltage interruption, e.g. during a vehicle repair or after theft.
After disconnecting the battery, disconnecting the radio navigation system from 

General information

the on-board voltage of the vehicle or after a fuse failure, the code must be en-
tered before the system can be used again. The code number can only be re-
trieved “online” via the ŠKODA system, as this guarantees even more effective
anti-theft protection. If necessary, visit a ŠKODA Partner 1) .
Enter code
If a keypad appears after switching on with the command to enter the code, the
unit must be unlocked by entering the correct four-digit code.
›Enter the four-digit code using the function keys 0 to 9. The digit is accepted
in the entry line.
After a four-digit order has been entered, the group of digits will turn grey (inac-
tive) and no further digits can be accepted in the entry line.
›To delete the digits in the entry line from right to left, press the function key
Delete .
›When the correct code is displayed in the entry line, press the function key OK .
Incorrect code number
If an incorrect code is confirmed after entry of the code, the procedure can be re-
peated twice. The number of attempts is shown in the bottom screen line.
If the code is entered incorrectly for the third time, the unit will be blocked for ap-
prox. one hour. It is not possible to enter the safety code again until after one
hour, while the unit and the ignition were switched on.
If three invalid attempts are then made again, the radio navigation system will be
blocked again for an hour.
Note
The code is normally saved in the instrument cluster memory. This ensures that it
is automatically decoded (convenience coding). Manual input of the code is nor-
mally not necessary. 
Screen display
The screen of the unit displays information such as information from the Clima-
tronic, the vehicle distance to an obstacle if the “parking aid” has been activated,
etc.
Personalisation
Your vehicle can be equipped with up to four keys. Individual settings of the radio
navigation system area always assigned to the key currently in use. Up to 4 dif-
ferent setting variants can be stored for the radio navigation system. When using
the key for the first time, the factory setting on the radio navigation system is val-
id. 
