73 plate Mk4: trouble with Sat Nav

Featured Replies

Used the sat nav for the first time today. Reached the destination perfectly.

HOWEVER:

I cannot get rid of the route display that now shows permanently in the dash cluster. The dash is set to 'Classic' so the route map shows between the tacho and the speedo.

I have looked at the manual and cannot see how to simply STOP the sat nav and remove the route graphics off the dash.

I expect the dash to clear when you stop the route directions.

Driving me mad.

Please can someone tell me how to clear it all?

Thank you.

No pictures of the issue to help throubleshoot because why not, right?

Sorry for the delay in my reply.

I tried what you have shown, but the wheel on my UK car is different on those buttons, HOWEVER, I have pressed every button everywhere and the Sat Nav map in the dash cluster went!

No idea in the end what I did.

Another 'issue' raised it's head about 5 days ago (before the sat nav issue) and that was a message on the dash that the car was due an oil change in "26 days".

The days counted down. by the day.

I called my local Skoda dealer's Service Dept yesterday and they said that was strange.

Took it in today and they cleared the message.

The car was serviced by the Skoda Dealer we bought the car from last November @ 9981 miles, it is now 13,109.

While there I told them about the Sat Nav issue and they looked at that and said all was well.

However, the dash will not display the total miles the car has travelled, ie 13,000, that has disappeared off the dash display!

Surely that info should never disappear?

Off to the Manal for a read.....

Now sorted!

The car's total mileage is only shown when you turn the engine off, the dash goes blank and the miles are displayed at the bottom right of the dash.

I think I now have the dash and info as I want it..

I think.

Invest time in reading manual and checking out steering wheel buttons. I have a feeling you have no clue how they work and what they do.

Arrow buttons on the steering wheel work independently. One cycles through view type, other one cycles through screen type size, for example full view, simplified and minimal info.

Scroll wheel cycles through the middle information segment and changes right and left information segment inside the gauges.

Total miles are available in the infotainment in the vehicle status menu.

Hi there. Have you tried pressing the voice button on the steering wheel and once the system is ready say...."stop navigation" that seems to work for me.

Thank you for all the replies.

There is just too much to sift through for me. Been through the manual (the one on here) and it is not comprehensive. Could not find anything about actually switching off the Sat Nav when finished, but Ok I'm sure I probably missed something or other. Talking to the car is a try for later, very rarely use Sat Nav. (ie once in 8 months). The prob with the sat nav was when the Navigation was finished the map would remain on the dash central area which I found irritating.

I've been through pressing button A on the RHS of the wheel to go left/right on the classic and other dash layouts and the status areas but could not spot the total miles when scrolling. Will take a look as you instruct tomorrow. It will be interesting to get a better grasp of the controls, but as the car now stands it all looks ok, so will leave well alone.

My old 14 plate Superb Tour du France was delightfully simple, had all the essential info and left me needing nothing more. Sometimes less is more (for me). You just pressed a button and the job was done.

Thank you all again.
