19RADIO NAVIGATION SYSTEMINTRODUCTION
Theft Protection
It  is  necessary  to  enter  the  code,  when  the 
system has been disconnected from the vehicle's 
power supply or when a fuse has „blown“.
In this case, 
SAFE will appear in the display when 
the system is switched on.
The  code  number  can  be  found  along  with 
the  serial  number  of  the  unit  in  the  front  of  the 
instruction manual on the equipment card. 
Make  sure  to  remove  the  equipment  card  from 
the  manual  and  keep  it  in  a  safe  place  outside 
of the vehicle.
Note:  As  a  rule,  the  code  is  stored  in  the 
instrument  cluster.  As  a  result,  the  code 
will  be  entered  into  the  radio  navigation 
system automatically (convenience coding). 
It is not usually necessary to enter the code 
manually.Anti-theft coding
The  anti-theft  coding  system  for  your  radio 
n a v i g a t i o n   s y s t e m   p r e v e n t s   u n a u t h o r i s e d 
persons from using the system once it has been 
disconnected  from  its  power  source,  e.g.  while 
the vehicle is being repaired or if the system is 
stolen.
Cancelling the anti-theft coding
The electronic block can only be cancelled when 
the correct code number is entered.
Proceed as follows:
 
•  Switch the system on.
SAFE will appear in the display. After 2 seconds, 
you  will  be  required  to  enter  the  correct  code 
number. 1000  will appear in the display.
• Press station preset 1 until the first digit of the 
code appears in the display.
• Press  station  preset  2  to  enter  the  second 
digit of the code.
• Press station presets 3 and 4 to enter the third 
and fourth digit of the code.
• Once you have entered the code completely, 
press the menu knob ,  or  for at least two seconds. 

20RADIO NAVIGATION SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
Entering the incorrect code number
If  you  inadvertently  enter  and  confirm  an  inco
-
rrect  code  number,  SAFE  will  appear  again  in 
the display. First flashing and then permanently. 
The following message will appear in the status 
line of the display: 
WRONG TRIES : 1
Now you can enter the code number again.
If you enter the code number incorrectly a second 
time,  the  system  will  be  blocked  for  one  hour. 
Once the hour waiting period has elapsed, it will 
be possible to enter the code again. During the 
waiting period, you must leave the system swit-
ched on with the ignition key in the ignition. 
After an hour has elapsed you can enter the code 
number once again. If an incorrect code number 
is entered twice, the system will be blocked again 
for one hour.
Note:  If  you  have  lost  your  equipment  card 
with  the  code,  please  contact  your  Škoda 
Service Centre.
Switching the system on/off
The audio source or navigation status (if the last 
route  guidance  was  no  longer  than  30  minutes 
ago) used last before the system was switched 
off will be activated.
If the ignition key has been removed, it is possible 
to switch on the system for approx. one hour by
 pressing the left-hand rotary/push  button    . 
To  prevent  the  battery  from  running  down,  the 
system  will  switch  off  again  automatically.  You 
can repeat this process as often as desired.
When the system has been switched off and the 
ignition  key  removed,  a  LED  will  begin  to  flash 
after a short pause to indicate that the system is 
protected by anti-theft coding.
Switching the system on
•  Press the rotary/pushbutton  to switch the system on.
Note: If the system remains mute and "SAFE" 
appears in the display when you switch it on, 
please refer to the information on page 19 . 

21RADIO NAVIGATION SYSTEMINTRODUCTION
Switching the system off
Press the left-hand rotary/push button .
The  active  audio  source  and  navigation  status 
will be stored.
If the key is removed from the ignition while the 
system is switched on, the system will switch off 
automatically.
Adjusting the volume
Turn the left-hand rotary/push button  to alter the volume of the audio source that is currently 
active. 
It is possible to alter the volume of the navigation 
voice  output  during  a  traffic  announcement  by 
turning the left-hand rotary/push button 
.
Note: Press the INFO button  to repeat the voice output to adjust the volume. 

22RADIO NAVIGATION SYSTEM
AUDIO OPERATION
Radio operation with RDS
 
RDS (Radio Data System)
RDS  (Radio  Data  System)  is  always  active  for 
the radio navigation system. 
In addition to their regular programming, an in-
creasing number of radio stations also transmits 
RDS information that is picked up and evaluated 
by the RDS receiver in coded form.
This information includes the radio station name 
and  the  traffic  information  status  for  the  radio 
station selected. 
Alternate frequency
The alternate frequency function ensures that the 
system always tunes into the best frequency for 
the currently selected radio station.
The radio may briefly switch to mute while sear -
ching for the frequency with the best reception.
If  the  system  is  unable  to  find  an  alternate  fre-
quency for the station selected and it is no lon -
ger possible to pick up this station in satisfactory 
quality, please select another station.
Radio operation
TMC (Traffic Message Channel)
In addition to their regular programming, a num -
ber of radio stations also transmits digital traffic 
information  on  the  Traffic  Message  Channel. 
These messages are picked up by your naviga -
tion system and can be used for dynamic route 
guidance (see  Selecting route options , page 48 
and  Activating the traffic congestion function , 
page 58). If a radio station provides TMC service, 
TMC will appear in the status line of the display. 
TMC stations can be stored in the TC1 and TC2 
memory banks. RDS Regional
Radio  stations  sometimes  divide  their  pro-
gramming into regional programming at certain 
times of the day.
At  first,  the  system  will  tune  into  only  those 
alternative  frequencies  for  the  radio  station 
selected.
However, if the reception quality deteriorates to 
the point that the radio might “lose” the station, 
the system will also switch to frequencies used 
by  a  "related"  NDR  1  station.  Because  these 
radio  stations  sometimes  broadcast  different 
contents,  this  might  mean  that  you  will  hear  a 
different programme. 
Switching to regionally related stations
As  a  rule,  the  system  will  only  switch  to  other 
frequencies for the same station with the same 
PI  code.  However,  if  the  reception  deteriorates 
beyond a certain point, the system will also au-
tomatically switch to a regionally related broad-
casting network. 

23RADIO NAVIGATION SYSTEMAUDIO OPERATION
Use  the  RDS-Regional  function  in  the 
AUDIO 
SETUP  menu  to  switch  RDS-REG  to AUTO  or 
OFF .  For  more  information,  please  refer  to  the 
section on AUDIO SETUP, page 14.
AUTO   -  If  you  select  this  setting,  the  system 
will  switch  to  a  regionally  related  transmission 
frequency  when  station  reception  deteriorates 
beyond a certain point.
OFF  - You can select a regionally related station 
frequency manually. The change will not be made 
automatically.Switching on radio operation 
To switch the radio on, press one of the following 
buttons  to  activate  the  corresponding  memory 
bank or waveband. The radio will automatically 
switch to the memory bank used last and begin to 
play the last radio station heard, if it is still within 
reception range.
  FM in 2 memory banks (FM1 and FM2)
•  To switch FM radio on, press FM . 
 TMC  stations  (Traffic  Message Channel)  in 
memory banks 1 and 2 (TC1 and TC2). With 
TMC your radio also receives the traffic infor-
mation required by the navigation system for 
dynamic route calculation. 
•  Press TMC .
 AM in 2 memory banks (AM1 and AM2).
•  Press AM .
Note:  If  you  switch  from  FM  to  TMC  or  vice 
versa, the radio station you have tuned into 
in  the  selected  memory  bank  will  be  “taken 
along”.
