WARNING
Please always pay full attention to the traffic situation around you! As the
driver you are fully responsible for the traffic safety. Only use the functions
in such a way that you always maintain the control over your vehicle in all
traffic situations!
Using the display
Carefully handle the display because dents and scratches can occur through pres-
sure of the finger or contact with sharp objects.
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.
Radio 3
Note
The code is stored in the instrument cluster. Through this it is automatically
decoded (convenience coding). A manual entry of the code is normally not
necessary.

process.
If the code number is entered incorrectly for the second time, the unit will be
blocked for approx. one hour. It is only possible to repeat the entry of the safety
code after an hour has expired and while the unit is switched on and the ignition
key remains in the ignition lock.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - furthermore applies.

Information on how to use a CD
CD to jump
Uneven road surfaces and strong vibrations may cause the CD to jump.
Formation of condensation
When it is cold and after rain showers, moisture can deposit in the CD drive
(condensation). This can effect the CD jump or impair the play function. In such
cases wait until the moisture has dissipated.
Notes for the care of the CDs
If a CD is soiled, please never clean the CD in the direction of a circle but rather with
a soft fluffly cloth from inside to outside. In case of severe layers of dirt we recom-
mend to clean the CD with a commercially available CD cleaner. Also in this case do
not clean the CD in the direction of a circle but rather from inside to outside and
then let it dry off.

Overheating protection
If the temperature in the unit exceeds 85°C, the play function of the CD is ended for
safety reasons.

Caution
• Never use liquids such as gasoline, paint thinner or disk cleaner, otherwise the
surface of the CD could get damaged.
• Never expose CDs to direct sun rays!
• Please never write or affix the CD!

Note
Dirt or damage of a CD can lead to difficulties when “reading” the information. The
difficulty in reading the error depends on the dirt or on the severity of the mechan-
ical damage. Severe scratches cause reading errors which can make the CD jump or
“get stuck”. All CDs must be treated carefully and always be stored in a protective
case.
