What You Should Read By All
Means!
Your radio is protected against theft by an
anti-theft coding system. If, once the unit has
been encoded, the power is disconnected
from the set (e.g. theft, disconnection of the
car battery or prior to installation), the set is

been entered (see car radio pass). Hence, a
coded set is of no use to a potential thief.

you. Therefore always use your car stereo
such that you are able to cope with the
present traffic situation in any moment.
In difficult driving situations you should turn
your set off. Please take into account that at
a speed of 50 km/h you are almost covering
a distance of 14 m per second!
When adjusting the volume, always make
sure that acoustic signals from the outside
can still be heard in order to be able to react
to alert signals just as it is required by the
present situation.
It should not be possible for thieves to ascer-
tain the code number by trial-and-error. This
is why the set is blocked for a certain period
of time if an incorrect code number is ente-
red. “---” would then appear in the display:.
This time period is 10 seconds following the
first three attempts, and is increased to 1
hour following subsequent attempts.
Example: Code number is 1521

“1000” appears in the display :,
