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. 

27RADIO NAVIGATION SYSTEMAUDIO OPERATION
Listening to traffic messages
If your radio navigation system has been set to 
traffic information standby, the traffic messages 
will interrupt other programming, i.e. CD playback 
will  be  interrupted  and  you  will  hear  the  traffic 
message.  
Note:  Traffic  information  standby  will  not 
be  active  unless  the  TA  function  has  been 
switched on in the AUDIO SETUP menu (see 
page 15).
At  the  same  time,  the  message  will  be  stored 
in  the Traffic  Info  Memo  (TIM).  Once  the  traffic 
message has ended, the system will switch back 
to the previous audio source. 
The  traffic  announcement  is  emitted  at  a  pre
-
-set  minimum  volume:  TA-MIN.  This  volume 
can  be  set  in  the  VOLUME  SETUP  menu,  see 
page 16. 
You can also turn the left-hand rotary/push button 
knob 
 at any time during the announcement to alter the volume.
Interrupting a traffic announcement 
•  Press FM  briefly during the announcement to interrupt it. Traffic information standby will 
remain  in  effect  for  any  following  traffic  an -
nouncements.
 
Traffic Information Memo (TIM)
Your  radio  navigation  system  is  able  to  record 
traffic  information  for  a  period  of  time  from  2 
to  24  hours.  Up  to  nine  messages  with  a  total 
recording  time  of  four  minutes  will  be  recorded 
automatically.
When  the  system  is  in  operation,  traffic  infor-
mation from TP stations is always recorded, even 
if the FM button has been pressed to interrupt the 
message. The actual recording of the message 
will only be interrupted if you have tuned into an 
EON station, such as “NDR 4”.
If the system has been switched off, traffic infor-
mation  will  still  be  recorded  if  the  TIM  function 
has been activated.  Activating TIM standby for 24 hours
 
• Once you have switched the system off and 
removed  the  ignition  key  from  the  ignition, 
press  down  and  hold  TIM 
  for  one  sec-ond.
Note:  24-hour  TIM  standby  results  in  in -
creased current consumption over 24 hours. 
This  can  lead  to  problems  with  the  battery 
voltage  (excessive  battery  discharge)  if  the 
vehicle  is  only  driven  on  short  journeys.  In 
this  case,  24-hour  TIM  standby  should  not 
be activated. 

28RADIO NAVIGATION SYSTEM
AUDIO OPERATION
Activating TIM standby for 2 hours
• 
Park your vehicle, leave the system switched 
on  and  turn  off  and  remove  the  ignition  key 
from the ignition. 
This standby mode will be deactivated as soon 
as you switch the system back on again.
Note: Once the memory is filled to capacity, 
the  oldest  message  will  be  overwritten.  If  a 
message is longer than four minutes in total, 
the beginning will be overwritten.  Listening to recorded messages
• 
With the system switched on, press TIM .
The  TIM  display  will  appear.  TRACK  and  the 
number of the message recorded last will appear 
in the display foreground. The message recorded 
last has the highest number, the oldest message 
the  lowest.  The  recording  time  appears  in  the 
status line next to the source.
If  no  traffic  information  has  been  recorded, 
NO  MESSAGE  will  appear  in  the  display  fore-
ground.
Selecting a recorded message

one of the buttons  to listen to the previous or the next message.
