Important informationWarrantyThe equipment warranty terms and conditions also apply for new vehicles. After the expiration of the warranty, a piec
e of equipment in need of repair will be
replaced with a reconditioned, original item with spare part warranty. It is, however, a precondition that the housing has
not been damaged and no unauthorised
attempts have been made
to carry out repairs.
Note
Damage within the meaning of the warranty must not be the result of improper handling of the system or from unprofession
al repair attempts. It is also essential
that there is no external damage.Device operationThe unit should only be used, if the traffic situation permits it. The volume settings must be selected in
such a way that audible signals from the
outside, e.g. a Martins horn from utility
vehicles (police cars,
ambulances and fire
brigade), can be heard at all times.

all times on your driving! As the driver you are
fully responsible for road safety. Only use the functions of the radio in such a way that you are always in full co
ntrol of your vehicle in all traffic

oth and finger marks can be wiped away

Note
Do not use solvent such as turpentine or
petrol as they will corrode the display

and then the radio. If you wish to install the radio in another vehicle, the safety code must be entered. In this case, please do not hesitate to co
ntact an authorised Škoda Service Partner

safety code, this practically excludes its

necessary.Enter code– Switch on the radio if the ignition is on. – Enter the safety code using the station keys - . – Confirm the safety code by pressing the station key .If you have confirmed a wrongly entered co

to enter again the safety code after one
hour has expired, when the unit and th
e ignition have been switched on.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for
an hour - will continue to apply.
