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 1)
specialist garage.
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.
