WARNING
Please concentrate fully at
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
situations!Using the displayCarefully handle the display because dent
s and scratches can occur through pres-
sure of the finger or contact with sharp objects. The display can be cleaned with a soft cl
oth and finger marks can be wiped away
with pure alcohol.
Note
Do not use solvent such as turpentine or
petrol as they will corrode the display
surface.Anti-theft protectionAnti-theft codingYour radio is equipped with a convenience co
ding. If the radio is being operated for
the first time, the safety code is not only
stored in the radio but also in the vehicle.
After disconnecting and reconnecting the batte
ry, first of all switch on the ignition
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
or a Škoda importer. As the unit only functions after entering the
safety code, this practically excludes its
use after a theft - a contribution to increased anti-theft safety.
Note
The code is stored in the instrument cluste
r. This ensures that it is automatically
decoded (convenience coding). Manual
input of the code is normally not
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
de, you can repeat once again the entire
process. If the code number is entered incorrectl
y for the second time, the unit will be
blocked for approx. one hour. It is possible
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.
Basic settingSwitching the unit on and off– The system is switched on or off by briefly pressing the control button
.
If the key is pulled out of the ignition lock while the unit is switched on, the unit will switch off automatically. You can switch on
the unit again by pr

vehicle battery) switches off automatically after approx. one hour. If you have switched off
the radio by withdrawing the ignition key, the radio
switches on again once the ignition is on.

volume control on the radio. Depending on the connected audio source, the output volume on the external audio source can be changed. You can also change the input sensitivity of the external audio source
⇒page 4, in
order for the play function volume of the
external audio source to adapt to other
audio sources or to avoid distortions of the play function volume. Adapter A 3.5 mm jack plug is required to connect external audio sources via the AUX-IN input. If the external audio source does
not have this jack plug, you must use an
adapter. A special adapter is required to connect audio sources via the input MDI.We recommend that you purchase an adapter for connecting the USB devices, the devices with Mini USB output or an iPod, at an authorised Škoda Service Partner. Conditions for proper connection•
