Anti-theft protection
Anti-theft coding
The anti-theft coding of yo ur navigation system prevents an operation of the 
system after a voltage interruption, e.g.  during a vehicle repair or after theft.
After disconnecting the battery, after separa ting the navigation system from the on-
board voltage of the vehicle and after a de fective protection, the entry of the code 
is required when operating.
In such cases “ SAFE” is shown in the display after switching on.
Caution
•This code number is affixed together wi th the unit number on the “Unit card”, 
which is located  behind the instructions.
•The “unit card” must be disconnected and stored  outside the vehicle.
Note
The code is normally stored in the instrume nt cluster. Through this the navigation 
system is automatically decoded (convenien ce coding). A manual entry of the code 
is normally not necessary.
Code entry
The electronical lock is cancelled by entering the correct code. The order 
of the following operating steps must be maintained: – Switch on the navigation system - after the start screen with the 
display “ SAFE” the request for entry of the code number is displayed 
after 2 seconds “ 1000” is shown on the display.
– Continue pressing the station selection button  1   until the first digit 
of the code number is shown in the display.
– Insert the other digits of the code  number by repetitively pressing the 
station selection button  2, and/or 3 or 4  .
– If the entire code number was entered, press the menu knob   or the  button   or the button   for at least 2 seconds.
Entry of an incorrect code number
If inadvertently an incorrect code number was confirmed when entering, “ SAFE” is 
shown again in the display. First of all flashing and then permanent. “ WRONG 
TRIES: 1 ” is shown on the display.
Now the entire process can be repeated once again.
If the code number is entered incorrectly fo r the second time, the navigation system 
will be blocked for approx. one hour. It is  only possible to repeat the entry of the 
code number after an hour  has expired and while the navigation system is switched 
on and the ignition key remains in the ignition lock. 
If once again two non-valid attempts are  undertaken, the navigation system will be 
blocked again for an hour.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - furthermore applies.
Note
Please do not hesitate to contact your Šk oda Service Partner should you have lost 
the “unit card”.

Radio mode
Radio mode with RDS
The function  RDS is always active for the navigation system.
More and more USW broadcasting companies transmit RDS information in addi-
tion to the program.  E.g the station name and the traffic status of the set station 
belong to this information.
Alternative frequency AF
The function alternative frequency ensures  that the best receivable frequency of 
the selected station is automatically and precisely set.
The replay of the broadcast can be mu ted briefly during the search process 
according to the best receivable frequency.
If no alternative freq uency of the set station can be  found and the station no longer 
offers a satisfactory quality, then please select another station.
TMC (Traffic Message Channel)
Certain radio stations transmit digital tr affic announcements in addition to their 
programme. The announcements are received  by your navigation system and used 
for a dynamic route guidance  ⇒page 29. If a station has TMC at its disposal, “ TMC” 
is shown in the standard field - status range - of the display. These stations can be 
stored on two memory levels TC1 and TC2.
RDS regional
Certain programs of the broadcasting  companies are divided into regional 
programs at specific times.
First of all the unit attempts to set only alternative frequencies of the selected 
station.
If the quality is however so low, that there is a risk of a “program loss”, the navigation 
system accepts also frequencies, which are “related” to the station.  As this station  emits temporarily different programs and due to such a change in frequency also 
the programme from one of the “related” stations can be heard 
⇒page 12.
Switch on radio mode
Press the button    ,     or     in order to switch on the 
radio mode. After pressing the button the last set station, if receiveable, is 
selected.
Note
If FM is changed to TMC or vice versa, th e set station is taken over in the selected 
level.
Set and store station
Manual station tuning
– Press one of the buttons   in orde r to manually tune a station. At 
every press the frequency changes to fixed, defined steps upwards or 
downward.
Automatic station tuning
– Press one of the buttons   for a station finding, in a frequency range,  upwards or downwards. The next or the previous station is automati-
cally set and selected.
– If you hold the button   pressed,  the station continues quickly to the 
next station.

Information on how to use a CD
CD to jump
Uneven road surfaces and strong vibrations may cause the CD to jump. In such 
cases wait with the CD mode until there  is a better road surface to drive on.
Formation of condensation
When it is cold and after rain showers, moisture can deposit in the CD drive 
(condensation). This can effect the CD ju mp 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 circ le but rather from inside to outside and 
then let it dry off.
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
Di r t o r d amag e of  a CD can le ad to d if ficulti es  when “ reading” the information. The 
difficulty in reading the error depends on th e 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
