2General information

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.
Enter code
›
Switch on the radio with the ignition turned on. SAFE is displayed and then
1000 .
›
Use the selection buttons 1 - 4 to enter the safety code.
›
Confirm the safety code by pressing the 6 function button.
If an incorrectly entered code is confirmed, the procedure can be repeated once again.
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 the safety code again after
one hour has expired if both the device and the ignition have stayed turned on
during that time.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - will continue to apply.
