Equipment which is marked * is only stan
dard on certain model versions or suppli-
able as special equipment for certain models.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.Operation of radioThe radio 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. Power output 4x20 W

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
contact a 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 cluster. This ensures that it is automatically
decoded (convenience coding). Manual inpu
t of the code is normally not neces-
sary.•

Depending upon the quality of the received signal, the radio needs a specific
time, in order to correctly read all the illustrated characters.RDS functionsRDS (“
Radio
Data
System”) serves to transmit program identification and additional
services therefore also enabling automatic tracking of stations.
In the event of sufficiently satisfactory reception the suitable RDS radio stations will display the station name instead of the station frequency. If a radio station sends additional inform
ation via the RDS function while a station
is being stored, it can occur that the name
of the radio station is later displayed
incorrectly in the memory list.Tr a f f i c r e p o r t sActivating and deactivating the traffic reports Press the button ,
