equipped with a comfort coding
system for which you do not require
any code. If disconnecting and
reconnecting the battery, first switch
on the ignition with the key in the igni-
tion switch and only then turn on the
radio. If you nevertheless still wish to
have the code, please ask your Skoda
Dealer.
The appliance conforms to EMC Safety
requirements (EC directive 89/336 EEC,
and 93/68/EEC) in compliance with the

Important Information
Caution!!!
When driving a vehicle, always
remember that your concentration
should be focussed on the road
traffic!!!
Modern road traffic always requires the
full concentration of the traffic partici-
pants.
The extensive equipment details in
modern car radios offer not only enter-
tainment but also a variety of information
about the traffic situation, weather condi-
tions etc.
Please remember only to operate the
car radio when the traffic situation
really permits.
Please observe the following instruc-
tions!!!
• Familiarise yourself with the extensive functions in your car radio before start-
ing to drive and refer to the instruction
manual when necessary.
• The more complicated settings, e.g. those in the set-up menu which are
usually only necessary once or rarely,
should be done while the vehicle is still
stationary before you start to drive. • If during the drive you are unclear
about functions in the car radio or if
unexpected effects set in, check these
when the vehicle is stationary and refer
to the instruction manual if necessary.
• Select a volume which allows acoustic sounds from outside to be heard in the
vehicle at all times.
Comfort radio coding
• Your car radio is equipped with an appliance-specific security code. The
security code need only be entered
when the radio is used for the first time
in the vehicle. After the first input of the
code number, the radio "gets to know”
its vehicle. Accordingly, it is not neces-
sary to enter the code number after an
interruption of vehicle voltage either.
The radio automatically checks the
vehicle’s data when turned on after the
ignition has been switched on. It is only
necessary to enter the code number if
it becomes apparent that the radio is in
another vehicle. If you did not receive any appliance-
specific security code, your vehicle is
equipped with a comfort coding
system for which you do not require
any code. If disconnecting and
reconnecting the battery, first switch
on the ignition with the key in the igni-
tion switch and only then turn on the
radio. If you nevertheless still wish to
have the code, please ask your Skoda
Dealer.
The code number should not be kept
in the vehicle but left in a safe place at
home.
Since the appliance is only able to func-
tion if the correct code is entered, it is
useless after theft and therefore protec-
ted against theft.
When the appliance is turned off and the
ignition is switched off, a flashing LED
located in button
indicates anti-theft
protection.

Security code
Security code
When the appliance is turned OFF and
the ignition key taken out, a blinking LED
, if this has not been turned OFF in the
set-up menu, draws attention to this theft
protection. This electronically prevents
the appliance being started by unauthor-
ised persons in another vehicle.
If you did not receive any appliance-
specific security code, your vehicle is
equipped with a comfort coding system
for which you do not require any code. If
disconnecting and reconnecting the bat-
tery, first switch on the ignition with the
key in the ignition switch and only then
turn on the radio. If you nevertheless still
wish to have the code, please ask your
Skoda dealer.
Comfort radio coding
When used first, the comfort coding
stores the code number not only in the
radio, but also in the vehicle. If the
vehicle’s voltage is now interrupted, the
radio, when next put into operation, will
compare the internal number with the
number in the vehicle. If these two
numbers agree, the radio is directly
ready for operation without restriction.
The code number is only queried if thetwo numbers do not agree.
The code number should not be kept
in the vehicle but should be left in a
SAFE place at home. Only then is the
appliance useless for a thief.
Lifting the electronic barrier
Remember in the following steps to
observe the right sequence and to enter
the correct code as directly as possible.
Read and observe page 4 of "comfort
radio coding" also.
• Turn on the radio. The display shows
"SAFE”.
• After about 3 seconds "1000” appears in the display.
• Use the station button \f number 1 to
enter the first digit of this code number.
• Repeat these steps with the station but- tons \f2 to 4 until you have entered
the code number completely.
• Confirm the entry by depressing the control button (for about 2
seconds) or by pressing the control but-
ton .
The radio is now ready for operation. Incorrect code number
If you enter the wrong code number inad-
vertently, the message "SAFE” flashes in
the display. After a few seconds the mes-
sage "1000” will appear. Enter the securi-
ty code number again as described. If an
incorrect code is confirmed again, the
appliance will be barred for about an
hour.
After approximately one hour, whereby
the appliance must have been left on for
this time, the code number can be en-
tered again as described in the above.
This cycle continues until the right code
number is entered.
If you no longer know the code
number, please ask your Skoda
dealer.
