Advice
Dear Customer,
If you have not received a device-specific security code for your car radio,
your vehicle is fitted with a comfort
coding system for which you do not
require a code. If the battery has been
disconnected and then reconnected,
you must first switch on the ignition
with the key in the ignition lock before
you switch on the radio. If nevertheless you wish to have a code, please
contact your Škoda service partner or
importer.
The appliance complies with the EMC
safety requirements (EEC guideline
89/336EEC and 93/68/EEC) in accordance with Standards EN 55013 and
EN 55020.
Operation of the car radio’s Comfort radio coding
during your journey
Warning!!!
Please ensure that when driving a
vehicle you always prioritize concentrating your attention on the traffic!!!
Today’s demanding traffic conditions
always require your full attention be concentrated on other road users.
The comprehensive equipment details of
modern car radios, in addition to the host
of entertainment possibilities, also provide a wide variety of information on traffic
and weather conditions, etc.
Please ensure that you only operate
the car radio when the traffic conditions really permit it.
Please heed the following tips!!!
• Familiarize yourself with the extensive
functions of your car radio before starting your journey by referring as necessary to the operating instructions.
• Please make any more extensive
adjustments, for instance in the Setup
menu, which are required as a rule only
once or rarely, before starting your journey and with the vehicle stationary.
• If any ambiguities regarding the car
radio’s functions and/or any unforeseeable effects should arise while driving,
clarify them as necessary using the
operating instructions when the vehicle
is stationary.
• Select the volume in the vehicle so that
you can still be aware of acoustic
signals from the outside the vehicle at
all times
Comfort radio coding
Your car radio is fitted with a device-specific Security code. You only need to
enter the code when you first set up the
radio in the vehicle. After the initial entry
of the code number, the radio “acquaints
itself” with its vehicle. You therefore do
not need to enter the code number again
if the on-board voltage is interrupted. The
radio checks the vehicle data automatically when switched on by switching on
the ignition. Only if the radio establishes
that it is in another vehicle will the code
number need to be entered again.
Important advice
If you have not received a device-specific security code for your car radio,
your vehicle is fitted with a comfort
coding system for which you do not
require a code. If the battery has been
disconnected and then reconnected,
you must first switch on the ignition
with the key in the ignition lock before
you switch on the radio. If nevertheless you wish to have a code, please
contact your Škoda service partner or
importer.
The code number should not be carried in the vehicle but kept in a safe
place at home.
Because the radio will not operate unless
the corresponding code is entered, it is
useless to steal it and this provides protection against theft.

RDS functions
Radio mode
RDS (Radio Data System) shows the
names of the programmes being received
.
14
While you are driving, RDS automatically
takes over the function of searching for
alternative frequencies for the set programme and making the necessary
adjustments to ensure the best possible
reception within a transmission area, even
under unfavourable conditions.
Storing RDS programmes
When storing RDS programmes, the
appropriate station button should only be
pressed when the programme name is
shown on the display. This ensures to a
large extent that all the RDS data are
evaluated and can be stored.
Also ensure, when storing, that no "scrolling text" is being shown on the display,
otherwise this is stored instead of the
programme name.
When a stored RDS programme is called
up, the appropriate programme name
appears on the display.
14
If the stored frequency cannot be received clearly, the radio automatically
selects an alternative frequency for the
same program (Best Station function).
General advice
When the conditions are unfavourable
conditions, e.g. on mountainous stretches, the radio checks the alternative frequencies very often. This can result in
momentary interruptions to the sound.
How RDS works
With RDS, in addition to the normal radio
signal an inaudible digital data stream is
also transmitted. This data stream contains, among other things, the following
data:
Programme identification (PI code):
The radio recognizes the programme
being received from the PI code.
Programme service name (PS code):
The PS code provides the name to be
shown on the display . Via the PS
code, some programmes also provide
additional information to be shown on the
display.
14
Alternative frequencies (AF list):
A programme is usually broadcast by
several transmitters on different frequencies. The AF list contains the relevant frequencies to which the receiver can be set
in order to receive the programme.
T
raffic programme identification (Traffic
Programme = TP; message on the
display):
The identification for a programme with
traffic information.
The radio recognizes a traffic message
from the TA code. If necessary, the radio’s
volume is now raised and CD mode is
interrupted.
EON (Enhanced information Concerning
Other networks)
Programmes that use EON, pick up traffic
messages from other programmes. During
the message, the name of the other programme is displayed.

Security code
Security code
When the radio is switched off and the
key has been removed from the ignition,
the anti-theft system is activated. This
electronically prevents the radio from
being operated by unauthorized persons
in another vehicle.
If you have not received a device-specific
security code for your car radio, your
vehicle is fitted with a comfort coding
system for which you do not require a
code. If the battery has been disconnected and then reconnected, you must first
switch on the ignition with the key in the
ignition lock before you switch on the
radio. If nevertheless you wish to have a
code, please contact your service partner
or importer.
Comfort radio coding
When the radio is used for the first time,
the comfort coding stores the code number not only in the radio but also in the
vehicle.
Now, if the on-board voltage supply to
your vehicle is interrupted, when you next
switch on the radio it compares the internal number with the number in the vehicle.
If these two numbers match, the radio is
immediately available for unrestricted
use. The code number is only requested
if the numbers do not match.
The code number should not be carried in the vehicle but kept in a safe
place at home. Only then will the radio
be useless for a thief to steal.
Removing the electronic loc
Take the following steps, keep to the correct sequence and enter the correct code
number as quickly as possible. Please
also refer to page 4 “Comfort radio
coding”.
• Switch the radio on. “SAFE” is shown
on the display.
• After approximately 3 seconds “1000”
appears on the display.
• Now use station button 1 to enter
the first digit of the code number
• Repeat the procedure using station button 2 for the second digit of the
3
code number, station button 3 for the
third digit, and so on until you have
entered the complete code number.
• Confirm the entry with a long press on
station button 6. The radio is now
ready for use.
Wrong code number
If you inadvertently confirm the wrong
code number, the message “SAFE” flashes on the display. After a few seconds
“1000” is displayed again. Now enter the
security code again as described above.
If a wrong code number is confirmed
again the radio is now locked for approximately an hour.

time the radio must remain switched on,
you can again enter the code number, as
described above.
This cycle continues until the correct
code number has been entered.
If you no longer know the code number, please contact your service partner or importer.
Multi-function steering wheel (MFL)
If your vehicle is equipped with a multifunction steering wheel (MFL) as an option, some of the radio’s functions can also
