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
essing the control  
button  . If the ignition is switched of 
f, the unit (discharge protection of the  
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.
