CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Important notes
Operating the radio whilst driving
Modern trafc conditions demand the constant
attention of road users.
Besides a wealth of entertainment, modern car
radios, with their range of sophisticated features,
also provide a great deal of information about
trafc and road conditions, etc.
However, the radio, with all its possibilities,
should only be used if conditions really allow it.
For example, changing CDs or reading CD labels
while driving has frequently led to dangerous situations.
The volume of the radio should also be set so
that acoustic signals from outside can also be
heard.
Warning
Please concentrate on your driving above
all!
Convenience radio coding
In the past one had to recode the radio manually
every time the unit was removed or when the
vehicle battery had been disengaged.
That has all changed with the new convenience
radio coding function: Once the code number has
been input in the radio, it will then synchronise
itself with „its“ vehicle!
If the current supply has been interrupted the radio
will automatically check to see if it is still in „its“
vehicle after the ignition has been switched on. If
it is happy, the radio will be ready for use after just
a few seconds.
It is therefore no longer necessary to disengage
the electronic lock manually!
CD changer
This car radio also has the attractive option of
controlling the genuine Škoda CD changer1).
The operation of the unit is described in a separate manual.
Qualied dealers have all the information concerning the retrotting of these units.
Safety precautions for items of equipment
tted with lasers
Laser devices are classied by DIN IEC 76 (CO)
6/VDE 0837 into safety classes 1 to 4.
The Škoda CD changer corresponds to safety
class 1.
The laser used in units of class 1 is of low energy
or is shielded, so that there is no danger when
being correctly used.
Do not remove the unit’s cover. It does not
have any parts which can be serviced by the
user.

Can be delivered as tted from the factory. The
units should be tted by a Škoda dealer if to be
installed at a later date.

Radio and CD operation
CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Tips on CD operation
To ensure perfect, high-quality CD reproduction,
only clean, undamaged CDs should be used.
Please do not stick any labels onto the CD’s.
Compact discs not being used should always be
stored in the CD rack from the Genuine Škoda
accessories range or in the original box.
Never leave CDs exposed to direct sunlight!
Notes on cleaning compact discs
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean CDs. Wipe the
disc in a straight line from the centre outwards.
Stubborn soiling can be removed with a commercial CD cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
Never use uids like petrol, paint thinner or
record cleaner, as these can damage the surface of the CD!
