Anti-theft protection
Precautions
Before starting to use your new car radio,
please read the information on “Traffic safe-
ty” and “Anti-theft protection” carefully.
Traffic safety
As the driver of a motor vehicle, it is your
responsibility to pay attention to the traffic
situation at all times. Never use your car radio
in a way that could distract you.
Please keep in mind that you travel a di-
stance of 14 m per second at a speed of only
50 km/h.
Should the traffic situation become particu-
larly demanding, we advise you not to use the
radio.
Always make sure that you are still able to
hear any warning signals coming from out-
side of the vehicle, such as police or fire
engine sirens, so that you can react accord-
ingly.
Therefore, you should always select a
moderate volume for playing your car radio
while you are driving.

This car radio is supplied with inactive code
protection. In order to switch the security
coding system on, proceed as described in
the following.
If the coding system is active while the power
supply to the system is interrupted (e.g. theft,
disconnection of the car battery), the set will
be electronically blocked. In such a case it
can only be made operable again by entering
the correct code number given in the car
radio passport.
Entry of a wrong code number
It should not be possible for a thief to find out
the correct code number by trial and error.
This is why the set will be blocked for a certain
period of time after a wrong code number has
been entered. The display will then show
“CODE ERR”.
After the first three unsuccessful attempts
the system will lock for 10 seconds; after
further attempts, the waiting time extends to
one hour.
After 19 unsuccessful attempts the display
will show “OFF”. In this case you can no
longer re-start the unit.
Note:
Keep your car radio passport with the code
number in a safe place in order to avoid
