the vehicle. The children might othe rwise start the engine or operate electrical equipment (e.g. power windows) - risk of injury!
•Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle has come to a stop. The st eering lock might otherwise engage unintentionally - risk of accident!
Caution
•Each key contains electronic compon ents; therefore protect them against moisture and severe shocks.
•Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean as impurities (textile fibres, dust etc.) have a negative effect on prop er operation of the keys and the ignition lock.
Note
Please approach a Škoda Service Partner if you lose a key since he can obtain a new one for you.
Changing the key battery
Each radio-operated key contains a battery which is housed in the
cover of the transmitter housing ⇒fig. 19. We recommend that
you have the batteries of the key replaced by a Škoda Service Partner.

You should, however, proceed as fo llows if you wish to replace the
battery yourself:
– Fold open the key.
– Use a screwdriver to carefully lever off the front part of the key
⇒ page 39, fig. 19 from the transmitter housing .
– Take off the cover of the transmitter housing ⇒page 39, fig. 20 in
direction of arrow.
– Take the used battery out of the housing cover.
– Insert the new battery. Ensure that the “+” symbol on the battery is
facing downwards. The correct polarity is also shown on the cover
of the transmitter housing.
– Insert cover with battery in place at the rear of the transmitter
housing and press both parts together.
– Insert the transmitter housing into the front part of the key so that
the two parts lock into each other.
For the sake of the environment
Dispose of an old battery in accordance with environmental regulations.
Note
•The replacement battery must have the same specification as the original battery.
•If it is still not be possible to unloc k or lock the vehicle with the remote control even after replacing the battery this means that the system has to be synchronised ⇒page 48.
Electronic immobiliser
The electronic immobiliser prevents the vehicle being oper-
ated by an unauthorised person.
An electronic chip is integrated in the head of the key. The immobiliser is deac- tivated with the aid of this chip when the key is inserted in the ignition lock. The electronic immobiliser is automatically activated when you withdraw the igni- tion key from the lock.
Note
It is only possible to start the engine of your car with a Genuine Škoda key with the matching code ⇒page 31.
Locking
Valid for vehicles without a central locking system:
Locking from outside
The securing head will move upwards or downwards in the door when unlocking or locking.
Locking from inside
All closed vehicle doors are locked by pressing in the securing knobs from the inside. The doors cannot be opened from the outside when the securing knobs have been pressed in. The vehicle door s can be opened from the inside as follows:

Remote control*
Description
You can use the remote control:
•to unlock and lock the car,
•unlock the tailgate.
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the master key. The receiver is located in the interior of th e car. The operating range of the remote control is 10 metres but this range can be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The master key has a fold-open key bit which can be used for unlocking and locking the car manually and al so for starting the engine.
If a lost key is replaced or if the rece iver unit has been repaired or a new unit installed, it is then necessary for a Škoda Service Partner to initialise the system. Only after this is it possible to again use the remote control.
Note
•The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched on.
•The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by inter- ference from transmitters close to th e car and which operate in the same frequency range (e.g. mobile phone, TV transmitter).
•The battery must be replaced if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system does react to the remote control at less than 3 metres away. We recom- mend having the battery replaced by a Škoda Service Partner.
