www.skoda-auto.comHow you can contribute to a cleaner envi-
ronment
The fuel consumption of your Škoda - and thus
the level of pollutants contained in the exhaust
- is also determined by how you drive.
The noise level and wear and tear are also in flu-
enced by how you personally handle your vehi-
cle. This Owner ´s Manual tells you how to drive your Škoda to achieve the minimum impact on
the environment, and how to save money at
the same time. Look up „Environment“ in the
Index to find out more.
Please also refer to all the texts identif ied with a
C in this Owner ´s Manual.
Make your contribution - for the sake of
the environment.

You have opted for a Škoda,
sincere thanks for your confidence.Your Škoda has proven to be a successful car for all-round use.
Functionality, customer satisfaction and environmental protection
aspects played an important part in its design, the selection of
materials used and manufacture.
The results speak for themselves.
Your Škoda is extremely economic when it comes to fuel con-
sumption, has a low pollution level, needs only a small amount of
servicing at long intervals and has durable wearing parts.
Your Škoda thus has all the virtues typical for a modern car such
as good motoring economy, quality, reliability and long-time re-
tention of its value.
An efficient service organisation is available for looking after your
Škoda: in Europe alone, the service network already comprises
more than 2500 Škoda Dealers that work economically and pro-
fessionally in accordance with factory guidelines.
These Škoda Dealers are also committed to ensure that your
Škoda is always in proper condition.
A requirement for warranting repairs free of charge is that
the Service Inspections (see Service Schedule) and repairs
during the warranty period have been carried out by an au-
thorized Škoda Dealer.Warranty claims are void
if the damage to the vehicle has been
caused by parts and accessories not approved by the manufac-
turer Škoda Auto, or by failure to observe maintenance and repair
instructions.
Your Škoda Dealers will gladly supply details of the aforemen-
tioned services and possible differences in specific countries.
Please also refer to the information in the Service Schedule.
We wish you pleasant motoring at all times.
Your Škoda Auto

6CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTKeysTwo keys are supplied with the car. These
keys fit all the locks of the car.Warning
Always withdraw the ignition key
when leaving the car - even if only for
a short time.
Note
Keep the groove of the key absolutely clean
as impurities (textile threads, dust, etc.) can
have a negative affect on the operation of
the locks, the remote control etc. Key tab
The key tab contains the key numbers which
are essential for re-ordering replacement
keys. You can refer to these numbers to or-
der replacement keys from a Škoda Dealer.
Note
You should keep the key tab in a sepa-
rate and safe place for it is only possi-
ble to obtain replacement keys if a key

ber.
If you sell your car, please also hand over
the key tab to the new owner.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Key with remote control*For more detailed information - see page 12.The key version may differ depending on
the vehicle equipment.
Refer to the text on p. 12 for further details.
Electronic immobiliserThe immobiliser prevents any unauthorized
attempt to start the car.
An electronic chip with a program code is
located in the head of the key. If the key
with the correct code is used, the engine
control unit is activated and it is thus pos-
sible to start the engine.
If the ignition key is lost or damaged,
please contact your Skoda Dealer who
will be able to obtain a replacement key
on the basis of the code number on the
key tab.
Keep the key tab separately in a safe
place.

8CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Central locking system*The illustration shows how to operate the
central locking system of a car which is
equipped with the convenience system*.
All four doors and the tailgate can be loc-
ked or unlocked at the same time using the
central locking system.
The central locking system can be opera-
ted as follows:
- from the outside with the car key,
- from the inside with the pushbuttons 1 and
2 in the driver’s door - see illustration
Button 1 - to lock car
Button 2 - to unlock car
- by means of the locking buttons in the doors (refer to ill. above)
only on cars which are not fitted with the
convenience system (only closing).
LockingThe following procedure applies to cars
not fitted with central locking:
Locking from outside
When the car is unlocked with the key, the
locking button in the door moves up - refer
to ill. on p. 8.
When the car is locked, the locking button
moves down - refer to ill. on p. 8.
Locking from inside
All doors which are closed can be locked
from the inside by pressing the locking but-
tons. If the locking buttons have been
pressed, it is not possible to open the doors
from the outside. The doors can be opened
from the inside in the following way:

Pull once on the door opening lever to
unlock the door.

Pull a further time on the door opening
lever to open the door.
Note

The opened door at the front on the
driver side cannot be locked by means of
the locking button. This is intended to pre-
vent you unintentionally leaving the key in
the ignition lock of the locked car.

The opened doors at the rear and the
front passenger door can be locked by
pressing the locking button and closing the
door.


Pay attention to the locking instruc-
tions - refer to p. 10.
Child safety lockThe rear doors are additionally fitted with a
child safety lock.

Insert car key into the slot.

Turn the key in the direction of arrow
toward the symbol. The child safety lock is
activated.
The lever for opening the door on the in-
side is blocked. The door can only be
opened from the outside.

The child safety lock is cancelled if the
key is inserted into the slot and turned in
the opposite direction of the arrow. The door
can then be opened in the usual way.

9
CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT

The car can be unlocked and locked
using button 1 and 2 in the door handle
even if the ignition is switched off (provided
the car is not locked from the outside).

The tailgate can be unlocked and loc-
ked using button 1 and 2

If the central locking system fails, it is
only possible to unlock and lock the front
doors.
Opening a single door
This optional function enables you to un-
lock only the driver door. The other doors
remain locked and are not unlocked until a
further command is given (unlock). This
necessitates changing the coding of the
central locking control unit. This is an op-
eration which is carried out by your Škoda
dealer, who can provide you with more de-
tailed information on this facility.
- with the remote control.
Notes


When the car is unlocked, all the loc-
king knobs move up.

When the car is locked, the driver’s door
should be closed. The other doors can b e
closed also after the car has been locked.

When the car is locked, all the locking
knobs should move down. If this is not the
case, open the relevant door once again
and close it properly.

The indicator light in the driver door -
next to the locking button - flashes to con-
firm that the car has been correctly locked.
The indicator light does not flash if the Safe
lock has been deactivated - refer to p. 9.
This does not apply, however, to models
which are equipped with the anti-theft alarm
system* because the indicator lamp in this
case signals that the system is active.
Safe lockAfter the car has been locked from the out-
side, all the door locks are automatically
blocked. It is no longer possible to pull out
the inside locking knobs. The warning light
in the driver’s door flashes. It is not possi-
ble to open the doors either with the inside
or the outside handle. This acts as a deter-
rent to any attempt to break into the car.

The Safe lock can be deactivated. This
is done by locking the car twice with the key
or the remote control within 2 seconds.

If the Safe lock has been deactivated,
the indicator light next to the locking knob
in the driver’s door does not flash.
This does not apply to models which are
equipped with an anti-theft alarm system*
because the warning lamp signals that the
system is active.

The Safe lock is again operational once
the car has been unlocked and locked again.
