Preface

You have chosen a ŠKODA vehicle, which is fitted with an Infotainment Radio Bolero (hereafter called the
unit) – we thank you for your confidence in us.

The new operating concept allows you to make all the vehicle settings and to operate electronic systems
centrally from the device.

Please read this Owner's Manual carefully, because the operation in accordance with these instructions is a
prerequisite for proper use of the unit.

Please note that these instructions are meant only as an addendum to the information presented in the
Owner's Manual of your vehicle. Therefore, they can be used only in conjunction with the latest manual for

Introductory information

Vehicle equipment

These operating instructions describe all possible equipment variants without
identifying them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent
equipment.

Consequently, this vehicle does not need to contain all of the equipment compo-
nents described in these operating instructions.

The level of equipment of your vehicle refers to your purchase contract of the ve­hicle. For more information, contact your local ŠKODA retailer.

The illustrations can differ in minor details from your vehicle; they are only inten­ded for general information.

Note

High volumes can cause sound resonance in the vehicle.

Ð

Safety information

WARNING

■

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 such that you
are in full control of your vehicle in every traffic situation - risk of accident!

■

Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside, e.g. sirens
from vehicles which have the right of way, such as police, ambulance and fire
brigade vehicles, can be heard at all time.

■

High volumes can cause hearing damage.

Ð

Warranty

The equipment warranty terms and conditions apply to this unit just like to new
vehicles » service schedule.

Ð

Component protection

Some electronic control units are factory-equipped with component protection.
The component protection was developed as a protection mechanism for:

›

impairment of factory- or garage-fitted control units after installation in another
vehicle (for example, after a theft);

›

impairment of components operated outside of the vehicle;

›

the possibility of a legitimate installation or change of control units for repairs
at a ŠKODA specialist garage.

When the component protection is enabled, the following message appears on
the display of the device 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.

Ð

Touch screen

The unit is equipped with a so-called capacitive touch screen which can only be
operated by the touch of a finger.

CAUTION

■

Operate the screen by lightly touching it with your finger. Do not apply pressure

to the screen - risk of damage!

■

Do not use any objects to operate the screen - risk of damage!

■

Do not use solvents such as benzine or turpentine, which may damage the

screen surface.

Note

■

Use a soft cloth and, if necessary, methylated spirits, to remove fingerprints
from the screen. When doing so, ensure that you do not cause damage to other
parts of the interior.

■

It is not possible to operate the screen with your fingernails or while wearing
gloves.

■

Do not affix anything to the area of the unit below the screen. This could affect
the functioning of the sensors for the “zoom effect”.

■

To protect the screen, you can use a suitable screen protector for touchpads
that does not affect the function of the touch screen.

Note

■

RDS (Radio Data System) is used to transmit programme IDs and additional

services, thus enabling automatic station tracking, for example. In the event of
sufficiently satisfactory reception, the suitable RDS radio stations will display the
station name instead of the station frequency.

■

In countries where the RDS (Radio Data System) function is not adequately

supported, we recommend turning off the AF and RDS setting, otherwise they
can affect the functionality of the radio.

■

The AF (alternative frequency) function ensures that the best receivable fre-

quency of the selected station is automatically and precisely set.

■

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is the digital transmission of radio pro-

grammes based on the DAB, DAB+ or DMB standards. It allows multiple stations
to be transmitted in a single frequency in the form of a so-called ensemble. It also
allows for the transmission of additional data and information (e.g. messages,
sport, weather, warnings, etc.)

.

Traffic monitoring is indicated by the letters  in the display.
While playing in Media mode, the last selected radio station continues to be re-

ceived in the background if it supports traffic information. If a radio station is set
that does not support TP, the most appropriate TP station is set automatically in
the background to continuously receive traffic reports in the media.

The radio works the same in a selected AM frequency range. If no traffic pro­gramme station can be found because, for example, radio reception is interrupted
in general, No TP will be displayed instead of TP.

Note

TP (traffic program identification) - Traffic information identification - the selec-

ted radio station broadcasts the TP signal (traffic radio).
