How do I check the first 3 characters in an element?

I have the node below. I would like to check if the first 3 characters are not equal to 169.

Code:

<Charge>
	<ChargeHistory>
		<Statute>
			<StatuteCode Word="269142a4">Traffic</StatuteCode>
		</Statute>
	</ChargeHistory>
</Charge>

How do I do it using xslt when test? e.g.
<xsl:when test='(StatuteCode,1,4)!="169")'>
<xsl:value-of select="true()"/>
</xsl:when>

I think is is wrong.
