Explanation of symbols

 items of equipment which are marked in such a way are only installed as standard

on certain models or are supplied as special equipment.

Important information

Warran ty

The equipment warranty terms and conditions also apply for new vehicles.

After the expiration of the warranty, a piece of equipment in need of repair will be
replaced with a reconditioned, original item with spare part warranty. It is, however, a
precondition that the housing has not been damaged and no unauthorised attempts
have been made to carry out repairs.

Note

Damage within the meaning of the warranty must not be the result of improper
handling of the system or from unprofessional repair attempts. It is also essential that
there is no external damage.

Device operation

The unit should only be used, if the traffic situation permits it.

The volume settings must be selected in such a way that audible signals from the
outside, e.g. a Martins horn from utility vehicles (police cars, ambulances and fire
brigade), can be heard at all times.

WARNING

Please concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully
responsible for road safety. Only use the functions of the radio in such a way
that you are always in full control of your vehicle in all traffic situations!

Using the display

Carefully handle the display because dents and scratches can occur through pressure
of the finger or contact with sharp objects.

General information 3

The display can be cleaned with a soft cloth and finger marks can be wiped away with
pure alcohol.

Note

Do not use solvent such as turpentine or petrol as they will corrode the display
surface.

Anti-theft protection

Anti-theft coding

Your radio is equipped with a convenience coding. If the radio is being operated 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, first of all switch on the ignition and
then the radio.

If you wish to install the radio in another vehicle, the safety code must be entered. In
this case, please do not hesitate to contact a Škoda Service Partner or a Škoda importer.

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 necessary.

Enter code

– Switch on the radio if the ignition is on. SAFE is displayed and then 1000.

– Enter the safety code using the function keys - .

– Confirm the safety code by pressing down on the function key .

If you have confirmed a wrongly entered code, you can repeat once again the entire
process.

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.

The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - will continue to apply.

Basic setting

Switching the unit on and off

– The system is switched on or off by pressing the control button .

If the key is pulled out of the ignition lock while the unit is switched on, the unit will
switch off automatically. You can switch on the unit again by pressing the control
button . If the ignition is switched off, the unit (discharge protection of the vehicle
battery) switches off automatically after approx. one hour.

If you have switched off the radio by withdrawing the ignition key, the radio switches
on again once the ignition is on.

Tone settings

– Press the button repeatedly to select the desired parameter.

– Set the desired value by turning the rotary/push knob .

• TRE - Treble setting;
