Operating Instructions
This Owner's Manual describes all possible device functions without identify-
ing them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent equip-
ment. Consequently, the device on this vehicle does not need to contain all of
the functions described in this Owner's Manual.
The Pictures in these Operating Instructions are for illustrative purposes only.
The illustrations can differ in minor details from your vehicle; they are only in-
tended to provide general information.
ŠKODA AUTO a.s. pursues a policy of constant product and model develop-
ment. Changes in terms of supply scope are possible at any time with regard to
design, equipment and technology. The information listed in these Operating
Instructions corresponds to the information available at the time of going to

Component protection
7WARNING■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver, you are fully
responsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Only use the device in such a way that you are in full control of your vehi-
cle in every traffic situation – there is the risk of accidents!
■
Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside the vehi-
cle, e.g. sirens from emerging vehicles instructing you to give way to, such
as the police, ambulance and fire brigade, can be heard at all times.
■
High volumes can cause hearing damage!
Component protection
Read and observe
on page 7 first.
Some electronic control units are factory-equipped with component protec-tion.
Component protection serves as a protection mechanism for the following:
› for the impairment of factory- or garage-fitted control units after installation
in another vehicle (for example, after a theft).
› for the impairment of components operated outside of the vehicle.
› for the possibility of a legitimate installation or change of control units for re-
pairs at a ŠKODA specialist garage 1)
.
When component protection is enabled, the following message appears on the
unit display Component theft protection: The infotainment system is not fully
available at present. Please switch on the ignition.
If the component protection does not activate by switching on the ignition,
please contact a ŠKODA specialist garage.
