Operation while driving CD mode
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
5
The requirements in today’s road traffic
call for the full attention of the road users
at any time.
The comprehensive and pretentious
features of modern car radios offer a lot
of information about traffic and road condi-
tions besides an abundance of entertain-
ment.
However, the radio system with its
many functions should only be opera-
ted if the traffic situation allows for
this.
For example, changing cassettes or read-
ing a cassette label while driving has
already often led to dangerous situations.
In addition, the volume of the radio system
should always be adjusted so that you can
still safely hear outside acoustic signals.
Caution
Keep complete control of your
vehicle at all times!
This car radio offers you the convenience
of controlling the original Skoda CD chan-
ger or CD player.
Operation of these devices is described in
their separate user manuals.
