Important Information
Caution!!!
When driving a vehicle, always
remember that your concentration
should be focussed on the road
traffic!!!
Modern road traffic always requires the
full concentration of the traffic partici-
pants.
The extensive equipment details in
modern car radios offer not only enter-
tainment but also a variety of information
about the traffic situation, weather condi-
tions etc.
Please remember only to operate the
car radio when the traffic situation
really permits.
Please observe the following instruc-
tions!!!
• Familiarise yourself with the extensive functions in your car radio before start-
ing to drive and refer to the instruction
manual when necessary.
• The more complicated settings, e.g. those in the set-up menu which are
usually only necessary once or rarely,
should be done while the vehicle is still
stationary before you start to drive. • If during the drive you are unclear
about functions in the car radio or if
unexpected effects set in, check these
when the vehicle is stationary and refer
to the instruction manual if necessary.
• Select a volume which allows acoustic sounds from outside to be heard in the
vehicle at all times.
Comfort radio coding
• Your car radio is equipped with an appliance-specific security code. The
security code need only be entered
when the radio is used for the first time
in the vehicle. After the first input of the
code number, the radio "gets to know”
its vehicle. Accordingly, it is not neces-
sary to enter the code number after an
interruption of vehicle voltage either.
The radio automatically checks the
vehicle’s data when turned on after the
ignition has been switched on. It is only
necessary to enter the code number if
it becomes apparent that the radio is in
another vehicle. If you did not receive any appliance-
specific security code, your vehicle is
equipped with a comfort coding
system for which you do not require
any code. If disconnecting and
reconnecting the battery, first switch
on the ignition with the key in the igni-
tion switch and only then turn on the
radio. If you nevertheless still wish to
have the code, please ask your Skoda
Dealer.
The code number should not be kept
in the vehicle but left in a safe place at
home.
Since the appliance is only able to func-
tion if the correct code is entered, it is
useless after theft and therefore protec-
ted against theft.
When the appliance is turned off and the
ignition is switched off, a flashing LED

located in button 
indicates anti-theft
protection.

Radio operation
TIM Function
(Traffic Information Memory)
With the TIM Function, up to 9 traffic anno-
uncements with a total length of a maxi-
mum 4 minutes are automatically
stored by means of a built-in memory.
The recording is automatic if the set pro-
gram transmits traffic broadcasts (recognisa-
ble by the indication "TP"  in the display).
Standby Recording
Standby recordings take place when the
appliance is switched OFF for a limited
time.
These recordings are deleted 6 hours after
the time has run down. Switching on the
appliance ends the readiness to record. 2-hour recording
If the TP range was selected before the
appliance was switched off, all following
traffic announcements are recorded auto-
matically in the next two hours. This is brief-
ly indicated in the display by the message
"
TIM2 h
".
Recording for 24 hours
By pressing the AIM button when the
appliance is switched off, a 24-hour record-
ing mode is activated. The last heard pro-
gram and "
TIM24 h" are briefly indicated in
the display. If the last heard program was
not a TP program, a TP program is set
automatically.
Information:
• If the memory is full, the next report is recorded over the first recorded report.
• If a traffic report is longer than 4 minutes, it starts to record over the beginning of the
report recording.
• If the radio is switched on during the recording of a report, the recording is
stopped. T
raffic announcements played back
chronologically
When the AIM button is pressed, the
most recent report is played back. The
recording number and the time of the re-
spective report are shown in the display, for
example "
TIM3 15:05". In this way all stored
reports are played back one after another.
By pressing the AIM button again, the
appliance is switched back to the original
state.
Repeating the traffic report
If the control button 
is pressed once
during the TIM playback, the current traffic
report is repeated.
T raffic announcements played back in
any sequence
Press the control button 
briefly twice
during the TIM playback. Now by pressing
the control button 
or  you can
switch up and down between the recorded
reports.
Fast forward and backward winding
Keep the control button 

or 
depressed until the required point is found
in the report.

Radio operation
RDS functions
RDS, (Radio Data System) makes it pos-
sible to show the name of the program
received
23.
During the drive RDS automatically as-
sumes the function of seeking and if
necessary setting alternative frequencies
for the set program to ensure the best
possible reception within a transmitting
range even under unfavourable condi-
tions
23.
Storing RDS Programs
When storing RDS programs, the corre-
sponding station button must not be
pressed until its program name is shown
in the display. This ensures to a large
extent that all RDS data can be evaluated
and stored if required.
T ake care also that no "scroll text” is
shown in the display when storing as this
will be stored instead of the program
name then.
When a stored RDS program is called up,
the corresponding program name appears
23in the display. If the reception of the
stored frequency is not good, the appli-
ance automatically selects an alternative
frequency (best station function) of the
same program.
General Information
In unfavourable conditions, e.g. on moun-
tainous stretches, the appliance checks
alternative frequencies very often. This
may cause momentary muting.
Mode of operation of RDS
In addition to the normal radio signal, an
inaudible digital flow of data is sent with
RDS. This flow contains among other
things the following data:
Program identification (PI Code):
With the PI code, the radio recognises the
program just received.
Program Service Name (PS code):
The PS code transmits the name which is
to be shown in the display
23.
The PS code is used by some programs
to transmit additional information which is
shown in the display.
Alternative frequencies (AF List):
A program is normally transmitted from
several broadcasting stations on different
frequencies. The AF list contains the fre-
quencies which this receiver can set for
this program. T
raffic Broadcast Code (TP
Code = Traffic
Program):
Code for a radio traffic service station.
Announcement Code (T
A =Traffic
Announcement):
With the TA Code, the appliance recog-
nises a radio traffic service announce-
ment. If necessary, the volume of the
appliance is raised and the CD operation
interrupted.
Music / Speech switchover (MS Code)
For spoken programs the MS code
switches the frequency to good speech
intelligibility.
Catastrophe reports
(RDS Code designation =PTY 31)
Catastrophe reports have priority above
all other functions.
EON (
Enhanced information concerning
Other Networks),
Programs which use EON take over traffic
announcements from other programs.
During a report the name of the other pro-
gram is shown
23in the display.

CD Ejection
By depressing the CD button for a few
moments, the CD is ejected and, depending
on the setting, switched to radio operation.
If the CD is not taken out, this will be drawn
back into the CD shaft after a few seconds.
CD operation and Radio traffic service
If the radio was operated in TP mode before
switching to CD operation, the traffic
announcements will interrupt the CD playback
and switch over to radio operation for the
duration of the report. Once the traffic
announcements are over, the car radio will
switch automatically to CD operation again.
T emperature-related disconnection
If the temperature in the car radio exceeds
85 °C, a safety disconnection mechanism
switches off the CD player. As soon as the
temperature drops below 85 °C, the compact
disc player is activated again.
Tips on handling CDs
• CDs are very sensitive to scratching. For
that reason do not leave CDs lying around
in your vehicle without protection. Keep the
CDs exclusively in special boxes.
