CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Operating the radio whilst driving
Modern traffic conditions demand the constant
attention of road users.
Besides a wealth of entertainment, modern car
radios, with their range of sophisticated features,
also provide a great deal of information about
traffic and road conditions, etc.
However, the radio, with all its possibilities,
should only be used if conditions really al-
low it.
For example, changing CDs or reading CD labels
while driving has frequently led to dangerous situ-
ations.
The volume of the radio should also be set so
that acoustic signals from outside can also be
heard.Warning
Please concentrate on your driving above
all!
Convenience radio coding
In the past one had to recode the radio manually
every time the unit was removed or when the
vehicle battery had been disengaged.
That has all changed with the new convenience
radio coding function: Once the code number has
been input in the radio, it will then synchronise
itself with „its“ vehicle!
If the current supply has been interrupted the radio
will automatically check to see if it is still in „its“
vehicle after the ignition has been switched on. If
it is happy, the radio will be ready for use after just
a few seconds.
It is therefore no longer necessary to disengage
the electronic lock manually!
CD changer
This car radio also has the attractive option of
controlling the genuine Škoda CD changer1).
The operation of the unit is described in a sepa-
rate manual.
Qualified dealers have all the information con-
cerning the retrofitting of these units.
Safety precautions for items of equipment
fitted with lasers
Laser devices are classified by DIN IEC 76 (CO)
6/VDE 0837 into safety classes 1 to 4.
The Škoda CD changer corresponds to safety
class 1.
The laser used in units of class 1 is of low energy
or is shielded, so that there is no danger when
being correctly used.
Do not remove the unit’s cover. It does not
have any parts which can be serviced by the
user.
1) Can be delivered as fitted from the factory. The units should be fitted by a Škoda dealer if to be
installed at a later date.
