Important information
Introductory information
Please read this Radio Bolero (from here on referred to only as device) Owner's Manual carefully, because operation in accordance with these instructions is a
prerequisite for proper use of the unit.
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 scope of equipment of your vehicle refers to your purchase contract for the
vehicle. More information is available from the ŠKODA Partner 1)
where you bought
the vehicle.
Please note that these instructions are meant only as an addendum to the infor-
mation provided in your vehicle's owner's manual. Therefore, they can be used
only in conjunction with the latest manual for this vehicle. For a detailed descrip-
tion of some of the functions listed in these instructions, see the owner's manual
for your vehicle.
If you have any questions about your radio navigation system, please contact a
ŠKODA Partner.
The illustrations can differ in minor details from your radio navigation system;
they are only intended for general information.

Activate AF
The function alternative frequency (AF) ensures that the best receivable frequen-
cy of the selected station is automatically and precisely set. The replay of the
broadcast can be muted briefly during the search process according to the best
receivable frequency. If no alternative frequency can be found for the set station
and the station no longer offers a satisfactory quality, select another station.
RDS regional:
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.

RDS function
Switching radio text on and off›
In the RADIO main menu press the Extras button and then the Radio text func-
tion button. Instead of the six station buttons, a window now opens in the bot-
tom half of the screen to display the radio text.
›
The window for displaying the radio text must fade out again to enable the sta-
tion keys to be displayed again. Briefly tap in the display window of the radio text.
›
Alternatively, tap the Extras function button and then on the highlighted
Radio Text function button shown in the opened pop-up window.
RDS (“ Radio Data System”) serves to transmit program identification and addi-
tional services therefore also enabling automatic tracking of stations.
In the case of RDS-compatible radio stations, if there is sufficient reception the
station name will be displayed instead of the station frequency.
If a radio station sends additional information via the RDS function while a station
is being stored, it can occur that the name of the radio station is later displayed
incorrectly in the preset list.

Traffic information function
›
Press the TP button to switch the traffic information function on or off.
The display “ TP” in combination with a station name (e.g. in the station or preset
list), indicates a traffic programme station.
Irrespective of which radio station you are listening to, an additional receiver part in the device ensures that a traffic information station can always be received aslong as the traffic information function is switched on.
The availability of traffic information monitoring is identified by the letters “ TP” at
the top right of the screen.
If no traffic programme station can be received because, for example, radio recep-
tion in general is poor, instead of“ TP”,“No TP ” will be displayed. Car parks, tun-
nels, tall buildings or mountains can disrupt the radio signal, even causing it to fail
completely.
Incoming traffic announcement
While a traffic bulletin is being played, a pop-up window opens.
To pause the playback of the announcement, in the Traffic bulletin
pop-up win-
dow press Cancel the function button. The traffic function remains available but a
subsequent traffic bulletin is played in the current audio mode. Press the function
button TP deact.
to switch off the traffic information function permanently.
Note
Some radio stations misleadingly identify themselves as traffic programs. It is
therefore not an error with the unit that there are no traffic news on these sta-
tions.
Traffic information memory
Automatic recording of traffic reports
If the traffic information function is switched on and ready to receive the traffic
information station, incoming traffic reports are recorded as long as the ignition is
switched on. This means you can always find out about the current traffic situa-
tion, even if the device is switched off while driving for long periods.
If the car is parked (ignition off) while a traffic radio station is in range and the
traffic is turned on, incoming traffic reports from this station are recorded for two
hours.
When the ignition is switched off, for about five seconds the current traffic infor-
mation station from which traffic reports will be recorded for the next two hours
is shown. During this five-second display you can use the arrow keys on the de-
vice to select another traffic information station from which to record.
If, when the vehicle is not in use, the reception of the set traffic information sta-
tion is too poor because of external influences, it will automatically search for an-
other traffic information station.
A maximum of nine traffic announcements with a total length of up to four mi- nutes can be recorded. The oldest traffic report will always be overwritten if the
memory is full.
TIM recording times
It is also possible to set two TIM recording times at which the device should also
record traffic information even if the vehicle is switched off. The device then
starts recording all the incoming traffic reports on the traffic information station
set according to the set TIM recording time. 
10Radio

For example, if you drive to work every day at a certain time the vehicle, simply
enter the approximate start time. The unit starts recording 90 minutes before the
set start time and ends recording 30 minutes after it. You can then listen to the
latest traffic reports before each journey and adjust your route to the current
traffic situation.
Note
■ In case of a message of over four minutes long, the beginning is overwritten.■If the vehicle has not been used for more than three days, no further traffic re-
ports are recorded, in order to stop the vehicle battery from running down.
