Warranty
The equipment warranty terms and conditions also apply for new vehicles.
After the expiration of the warranty, a piece of equipment in need of repair will be
replaced with a reconditioned, original item with spare part warranty. It is, howev-
er, 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 unprofessional repair attempts. It is also essential
that there is no external damage. Ð Device operation
The radio should only be used, if the traffic situation permits it.  6

General information

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 or-
der 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. ÐWindscreen 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. Ð Anti-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
vehicle.
After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, first of all switch on the igni-
tion and then the radio.
If you wish to install the radio in another vehicle, the safety code must be en-
tered. 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 au-
thorized ŠKODA Service Partner, if necessary. 

Notes for the care of the CDs
If a CD is soiled, please never clean the CD in the direction of a circle but rather
from inside to outside with a soft lint-free cloth. In case of severe layers of dirt we
recommend to clean the CD with a commercially available CD cleaner. Also in this
case do not clean the CD in the direction of a circle but rather from inside to out-
side and then let it dry off. WARNING
■ The CD player is a 1st class laser product. There is a definite risk of injury
from invisible laser beams if it is opened.
■ The CD player contains no parts that have to be serviced or repaired. Please
contact your specialist garage if a mechanical defect occurs or the CD player
has to be repaired. CAUTION
■ Never use liquids such as gasoline, paint thinner or disk cleaner, otherwise the
surface of the CD could get damaged!
■ Never expose the CD to direct sun rays!
■ Please never write or affix the CD! Note
Dirt or damage of a CD can lead to difficulties when “reading” the information.
The difficulty in reading the error depends on the dirt or on the severity of the
mechanical damage. Severe scratches cause reading errors which can make the
CD jump or “get stuck”. All CDs must be treated carefully and always be stored in
a protective case. ÐExternal sources
Input AUX
› The input for external audio sources AUX is located under the armrest of the
front seats.
› Activate the AUX input by pressing the button
MEDIA and by subsequently
pressing the function key AUX .
› External audio sources, which are connected to the AUX input,
cannot be
operated via the radio. Input MDI - Multimedia socket (MEDIA)
› The input for the external audio sources MDI is located under the armrest of
the front seats, in the storage compartment of the front passenger side or in a
storage compartment of the centre console (according to vehicle model).

MEDIA and by subsequently
pressing the function key MDI .

stickers, connected to the MDI input, can be played via the radio.
› External audio sources, which are connected to the MDI input,
can be operated
via the radio.
It is possible to play back external audio sources via the loudspeakers of the radio
in the vehicle.
You can select another audio source on the radio at any time. As long as the ex-
ternal audio source is not switched off, it remains always active in the back-
ground.
Please refer to the Owner's manual of the respective manufacturer for the opera-
tion of the external audio source.
If a MEDIA socket is additionally installed, the button MDI is displayed instead
of the function key AUX in the
Audio menu . Please note that an audio source con-
nected to the AUX socket can only be replayed, if there is currently no data
carrier connected to the MDI input.
Use the standard jack plug 3.5 mm for the AUX socket. If the external audio
source does not have this jack plug, you must use an adapter.
Adjust the play function volume of the external audio source
The play function volume of the external audio source can be changed via the vol-
ume control on the radio.
Depending on the connected audio source, the output volume on the external au-
dio source can be changed.
You can also change the input sensitivity of the external audio source, 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 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. 
