General information
Important information
Introductory information
Please read this Radio Bolero (from here on referred to only as device) Owner's Manual carefully, because operation in accordance with these instructions is a
prerequisite for proper use of the unit.
These operating instructions describe all possible equipment variants without
identifying them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent
equipment.
Consequently, this vehicle does not need to contain all of the equipment compo-
nents described in these operating instructions.
The scope of equipment of your vehicle refers to your purchase contract for the
vehicle. More information is available from the ŠKODA Partner 1)
where you bought
the vehicle.
Please note that these instructions are meant only as an addendum to the infor-
mation provided in your vehicle's owner's manual. Therefore, they can be used
only in conjunction with the latest manual for this vehicle. For a detailed descrip-
tion of some of the functions listed in these instructions, see the owner's manual
for your vehicle.
If you have any questions about your radio navigation system, please contact a
ŠKODA Partner.
The illustrations can differ in minor details from your radio navigation system;
they are only intended for general information.
Device operation
The device should only be used when traffic conditions permit safe use.
WARNING■ Concentrate fully on your driving at all times! As the driver you are wholly re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Only use the device such that you are in full control of your vehicle in every
traffic situation – do not run the risk of an accident.
■
Adjust the volume to ensure that audible signals from outside the vehicle,
e.g. sirens from vehicles with right-of-way such as police cars, ambulances
and fire engines, can be heard at all times.
■
High volumes can cause hearing damage!
Screen care
CAUTION
■ Do not use solvents such as petrol or turpentine which could damage the
screen surface.■
Treat the screen with care. Finger pressure or contact with sharp objects may
cause dents and scratches on the surface.
Note
The screen can be cleaned with a soft cloth and alcohol if necessary.
Anti-theft protection
Anti-theft coding
Your device is equipped with a convenience coding. If the device is being operat-
ed 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, you must first switch on the ig-
nition using the ignition key before switching on the device.
If you want to install the device in another vehicle you will need to enter the safe-ty code. In this case you will have to call on a specialist 1)
garage.

Explanation of terms
» Owner's Manual , chapter Foreword .
2General information
As the device only functions after entering the safety code it cannot be used ifstolen. This increases vehicle security.
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.
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.
›
Tap on one of the numbers 0 to 9on the numeric keypad shown on the screen.
The digit is accepted in the entry line.
›
After a four-digit sequence has been entered, the group of digits will turn grey (inactive) and no further digits can be accepted in the entry line.
›
Tap the screen to delete digits in the entry line from right to left to correct
the input if necessary.
›
When the correct code is displayed in the entry line, press the function button 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. Visit a specialist garage if
necessary.
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 attempts is shown in the second screen line.
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 further invalid attempts are made, the device will be blocked for another
hour.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - will continue to apply.
NoteThe 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.

RDS (“ Radio Data System”) serves to transmit program identification and addi-
tional services therefore also enabling automatic tracking of stations.
In the case of RDS-compatible radio stations, if there is sufficient reception the
station name will be displayed instead of the station frequency.
If a radio station sends additional information 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 preset list.
Traffic information function
›
Press the TP button to switch the traffic information function on or off.
The display “ TP” in combination with a station name (e.g. in the station or preset
list), indicates a traffic programme station.
Irrespective of which radio station you are listening to, an additional receiver part in the device ensures that a traffic information station can always be received aslong as the traffic information function is switched on.
The availability of traffic information monitoring is identified by the letters “ TP” at
the top right of the screen.
If no traffic programme station can be received because, for example, radio recep-
tion in general is poor, instead of“ TP”,“No TP ” will be displayed. Car parks, tun-
nels, tall buildings or mountains can disrupt the radio signal, even causing it to fail
completely.
Incoming traffic announcement
While a traffic bulletin is being played, a pop-up window opens.
To pause the playback of the announcement, in the Traffic bulletin
pop-up win-
dow press Cancel the function button. The traffic function remains available but a
subsequent traffic bulletin is played in the current audio mode. Press the function
button TP deact.
to switch off the traffic information function permanently.
Note
Some radio stations misleadingly identify themselves as traffic programs. It is
therefore not an error with the unit that there are no traffic news on these sta-
tions.
Traffic information memory
Automatic recording of traffic reports
If the traffic information function is switched on and ready to receive the traffic
information station, incoming traffic reports are recorded as long as the ignition is
switched on. This means you can always find out about the current traffic situa-
tion, even if the device is switched off while driving for long periods.
If the car is parked (ignition off) while a traffic radio station is in range and the
traffic is turned on, incoming traffic reports from this station are recorded for two
hours.
When the ignition is switched off, for about five seconds the current traffic infor-
mation station from which traffic reports will be recorded for the next two hours
is shown. During this five-second display you can use the arrow keys on the de-
vice to select another traffic information station from which to record.
If, when the vehicle is not in use, the reception of the set traffic information sta-
tion is too poor because of external influences, it will automatically search for an-
other traffic information station.
A maximum of nine traffic announcements with a total length of up to four mi- nutes can be recorded. The oldest traffic report will always be overwritten if the
memory is full.
TIM recording times
It is also possible to set two TIM recording times at which the device should also
record traffic information even if the vehicle is switched off. The device then
starts recording all the incoming traffic reports on the traffic information station
set according to the set TIM recording time.
