Hi

Does anybody know what the word "Zielfuehrung" means? :confused:

On my new Superb the trip computer display occasionally throws up the message "zielfuehrung nicht aktiv" & most of the trip functions seems to freeze.

My German isn't great but I do understand that something to do with a clock isn't working - can anyone provide a more concise translation please?

This only happens on starting the ignition & clears if car is restarted.

My local main dealer don't have any ideas about this - they have run electronic diagnostics which are apparently all OK, have contacted "Skoda Technical" & got no useful help.

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks

Clemo,

Welcome. The problem has cropped up a few times in the past, have a quick read of this below.

Brilliant - thanks for your help - great service.

I wonder why the main dealer couldn't tell me this?

Hi all,

Anybody have the correct link to the Zielfuehrung below?

I am having this problem and was wondering if there is an actual solution other than using the windscreen washer rocker switch to jump back to trip computer?

Cheers,

Well, I have also experienced this problem a few times, always when starting the car.

Approx. 20 years ago I had German in school, but unfortunately it has not been used too much.

But I think "Zielfuehrung" actually means, directly translated to English, something like "Goal guidance", or "destination guidance", and I guess this is a German expression for GPS satelite navigation. This didn't exist in cars 20 years ago So "Zielfuehrung nicht aktiv" would be "GPS not active" or something like that. Please excuse, my English is also from school 20 years ago

When I have experienced this, I have simply turned the radio/sat-nav off and on, and then the problems have disappeared.

The conclution I have made personally is that during start up of the different units, the sat-nat does not start correctly,or communication fails somehow, and the trip computer is not able to find or communicate correctly to the sat-nav.

I searched a bit, and I think the previous discussion is here:

With language skills like that, it must have been a pretty good school

Possibly because they don't speak German?

Cheers for the help, will live with it I guess!
