Notes
WARNING
The most important notes are marked with WARNING. These WARNING notes
draw your attention to a serious risk of accident or injury.
CAUTION
A CAUTION note alerts you to the possibility of damage to your vehicle (e.g. dam-
age to the gearbox), or points out general risks of an accident.
Note
A normal Note draws your attention to important information about the operation
of your vehicle.
General information
Important information
Introductory information
This Owner's Manual describes all possible equipment variants without identify-
ing them as special equipment, model variants or market-driven equipment.
Consequently, this vehicle does not need to contain all of the equipment compo-
nents described in these operating instructions.
The scope of equipment for your vehicle is described in the sales documentation
you were given when purchasing the car. For more information, contact your local
ŠKODA retailer.
The illustrations in this manual can differ in minor details from your vehicle; they
are only intended for general information.
Device operation
The device should only be used when traffic conditions permit safe use.
WARNING
■Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver, you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle.
■Only use the device in a way that ensures that you are in full control of your
vehicle in every traffic situation - there is a risk of accident!
■Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside the vehicle,
e.g. sirens from vehicles to give way to, such as the police, ambulance and fire
brigade , can be heard at all times.
■High volumes can cause hearing damage!
Care of the Display
CAUTION
■Do not use solvents such as benzine or turpentine, which may damage the dis-
play surface.
■Treat the display with care, as finger pressure or contact with sharp objects may
cause dents and scratches on the surface.
Note
The display can be cleaned with a soft cloth and alcohol, if necessary.
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, you must switch on the igni-
tion first and only then the radio.
If you want to install the radio in another vehicle, the safety code will need to be
entered. In this case you will have to call on a specialist ŠKODA garage.
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 necessa-
ry.
Enter code
›Switch on the radio with the ignition turned on. SAFE is displayed and then
1000.
›Use the selection buttons 1 - 4 to enter the safety code.
2General information
›Confirm the safety code by pressing the 6 function button.
If an incorrectly entered code is confirmed, the procedure can be repeated once
again.
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 the safety code again after
one hour has expired if both the device and the ignition have stayed turned on
during that time.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - will continue to apply.

REG AUTO / REG OFF
Certain programs of the broadcasting companies are divided into regional pro-
grams at specific times. That is why in individual regions the regional programs of
a station can broadcast different contents.
The unit attempts initially to set only alternative frequencies for the selected sta-
tion.
If the quality is however so low, that there is a risk of a “program loss”, the unit
also accepts “related” frequencies.
When opting for REG AUTO , the change to a regionally- “related” station can only
be performed when there is a risk of losing the station. When selecting REG OFF,
the receiver can access the regionally- “related” stations to an unlimited extent.
GALA
Your radio increases automatically its volume with the increasing vehicle speed. A
higher setting value results in a stronger volume increase.
LOUD
In case of low volume level, the function reinforces the range of bass and treble
frequencies.
BEEP
Switching on or off the tone signal when storing the radio stations.
ON VOL
Your radio stores the last volume set before switching off. If the value is higher,
the volume is reduced to the value of the parameter ON VOL after switching on
the radio again.
PHONE
If your vehicle is equipped with a hands-free system, the mono-phone play func-
tion of the mobile phone calls is carried out via the loudspeakers of the vehicle.
PDC AT
If your vehicle is equipped with a “parking aid”, the volume is automatically de-
creased to a pre-defined value, when the “parking aid” is active.
›PDC AT0 - no volume restriction;
›PDC AT1 - restricts the volume to a middle level;
›PDC AT2 - restricts the volume to a low level;
›PDC AT3 - Mute.
AUX

The CD-player is a laser product. On the manufacturing date, this unit was
classified as a class 1 laser product in accordance with the national/interna-
tional standards DIN EN 60825-1: 2008/05 and DHHS Rules 21 CFR, Sub-
chapter J. The laser used in this class 1 laser product is so weak that there is
no risk of danger when operated correctly. This product is designed such that
the laser is restricted to the inside of the unit. However, the installed laser
could be classified in a higher class were the housing to be removed. For this
reason, never remove the housing of the unit.

External sources
Using the system
Advice for dealing with external sources
An external source connected to the AUX-IN input can be played in the car
through the radio speakers. External audio sources cannot be controlled via the
radio.
When operating the radio, a different audio source can be selected at any time. As
long as the external audio source is not switched off, it always remains active in
the background.
See the owner's manual of the specific manufacturer for operating the external
audio source.
Conditions for a successful connection
To connect external audio sources via the AUX-IN input a 3,5 mm standard jack
plug is needed. If the external audio source does not have this jack plug, you must
use an adapter.
›Only USB devices with the specification 2.0 can be connected.
›The version of the file allocation table FAT (File Allocation Table) of the connec-
ted device must be FAT16 ( <2 GB) or FAT32 (> 2 GB).
›In order to replay from a unit with a hard disk (HDD) which includes a large data
volume, it can lead to a time delay when reading in the overview of the music
data.
›In order to replay from a unit, which includes a complicated folder structure, it
can lead to a time delay when reading in the overview of the music data.
›The folder structure in the connected unit must not exceed a depth of 8 levels.
One folder must not contain more than 1000°data.
›A USB extension cable or USB distributor (HUB) must not be used to connect
the unit.
Adapter
We recommend that you purchase an adapter for connecting the USB devices, the
devices with Mini USB output or an iPod, at an authorised ŠKODA Service Partner.
Adjust the play function volume of the external audio source
The play function volume of the external audio source can be changed via the vol-
ume control on the radio.
Depending on the connected audio source, the output volume on the external au-
dio source can be changed.
You can also change the input sensitivity of the external audio source, » page 4,
AUX, in order to adapt the play volume of the external audio source to that of the
other audio sources or to avoid distortions.
WARNING
■Never place external sources on the console panel. They could be thrown in-
to the passenger compartment during sudden driving manoeuvres, thereby in-
juring the occupants.
■Never place external sources close to the airbags. These could be thrown in-
to the passenger compartment when the airbags are deployed, injuring the
occupants.
■Never hold external sources in your hand or on your knees while driving.
They could be thrown into the passenger compartment during sudden driving
manoeuvres, thereby injuring the occupants.
■Always route the connection cable for the external source such that it does
not restrict you when driving.
CAUTION
The AUX-IN input must only be used for audio sources!
Note
■See the owner's manual of the specific manufacturer for instructions on operat-
ing the external source.
■If an external audio source is connected via AUX-IN, which is equipped with an
adapter for external power supply, it can occur that the audio signal is interrup-
ted. This depends on the quality of the adapter which is used.
■The loudspeakers in the vehicle are matched to a power output of the radio of
4x20 W.
■For the equipment sound system, the loudspeakers are matched to a power
output of the amplifier of 4x40°W + 6x20 W.
AUX input
The input for external audio sources AUX-IN is located below the armrest of the
front seats and is marked with the logo .
