ing them as special equipment, model variants or market-driven equipment.

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.

ded for general information.

REG AUTO / REG OFF
Some stations support the broadcasting of regional programs with different con-
tent.
The unit attempts initially to set only alternative frequencies for the selected sta-
tion.
If the quality is however so low, that there is a risk of a “program loss”, the unit also accepts “related” frequencies.
When opting for REG AUTO , the change to a regionally- “related” station can only
be performed when there is a risk of losing the station. When selecting REG OFF,
the receiver can access the regionally- “related” stations to an unlimited extent.

Your device automatically adjusts the volume to the vehicle speed. A higher set-
ting value results in a stronger volume increase.

and treble frequencies.

tion of mobile phone calls can be switched on/off via the loudspeakers.
