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. 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 control of your vehicle in all traffic situations! CAUTION
● Inserting a second CD while a CD is being ejected can destroy the CD drive in
the unit. Please note that the CD ejection lasts a few seconds after pressing the
Eject key / . During this time the lock in front of the CD case is open. It is es-
sential that you wait until the CD has been fully ejected before you try to insert a
new CD.
● Press the buttons and the keys of the unit gently in order to avoid damaging
them. Gentle pressure on the appropriate key is sufficient to operate the unit.
Please note that the control buttons have predetermined breaking points, in order
to reduce the risk of injury.
● Do not use any pointed or sharp-edged objects to operate the touch-screen.
Slight finger pressure sufficient to operate the equipment. A display on the
screen, which cannot be called up by pressing the button, is therefore not availa-
ble at that time. Ð
Windscreen cleaning CAUTION
● Do not use solvent such as turpentine or petrol as they will corrode the display
surface.
● Carefully handle the display because dents and scratches can occur through
pressure of the finger or contact with sharp objects. Note
The display can be cleaned with a soft cloth and finger marks can be wiped away
with pure alcohol. ÐAnti-theft protection
Anti-theft coding Your radio is equipped with a convenience coding. If the radio is being operated
for the first time, the safety code is not only stored in the radio but also in the ve-
hicle.
After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, 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 input of the code is normally not necessa-
ry. Ð
Enter code If a keypad appears after switching on with the command to enter the code, the
unit can be unlocked by entering the correct four-digit code number.
– Press a digit from 0 to
9 on the digit block displayed on the screen. The digit
is accepted in the entry line.
– After a four-digit order has been entered, the group of digits will turn grey (in-
active) and no further digits can be accepted in the entry line.
– Press on the touch-screen to erase the digits in the entry line from right to
left and thereby correct your input, if necessary.
– If the correct code number is displayed in the entry line, press OK .
Code number
The code number can only be called up
“online” via the ŠKODA system, as this
guarantees even more effective anti-theft protection. Please contact your author-
ized ŠKODA Service Partner, if necessary. 3
General information
Incorrect code number
If an incorrect code is confirmed after entry of the code, the procedure can be re-
peated once again
. The number of possible attempts is shown in the second line
on the touch-screen.
If the code number is entered incorrectly 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 the ignition have been switched on.
If two invalid attempts are then made again, the navigation system will be
blocked again for an hour.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - will continue to apply. Note
The code is normally stored in the instrument cluster. This ensures that it is auto-
matically decoded (convenience coding). Manual input of the code is normally not
necessary. Ð
General - operation The screen of the unit is a so-called “touch screen” (touch-screen). Fields circled in
colour on the touch-screen are presently “active” and are operated by touching
the screen. Active fields, which call up a function or a menu, are called “function
keys”.
