are only unlocked after being unlocked again using the unlock button on the re-
mote control key
» Fig. 8 on page 27
or the central locking button » Fig. 11 on
page 30.
Automatic locking and unlocking
All the doors and the boot lid are locked automatically once the car reaches a
speed of about 15 km/h.
If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked again. In
addition, it is possible for the driver or front passenger to unlock the car by press-
ing the central locking button  » page 30.
The vehicle doors can also be unlocked and opened by pulling once on the door
opening lever. WARNING
Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside, for exam-
ple at road crossings. Locked doors do, however, make it more difficult for res-
cuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency - danger to life! Note
■ You can have the individual settings activated by a ŠKODA
Service Partner or
you can activate them yourself with the help of the information display » page 16,
Settings. ■ In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
are automatically unlocked in order to enable rescuers to gain access to the vehi-
cle. ■ Only the driver's door can be unlocked or locked using the key if the central
locking system fails » page 35. The other doors and the boot lid can be manually
locked or unlocked. ■ Emergency locking of the door »

page 35.
■ Emergency unlocking of the boot lid » page 37. ÐSafe securing system
The central locking system is equipped with a safe securing system. The door
locks are blocked automatically if the vehicle is locked from the outside. The indi-
cator light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it begins
to flash evenly at longer intervals. It is not possible to open the doors with the
door handle either from the inside or from the outside. This acts as an effective
deterrent for attempts to break into your vehicle. The safe securing system can be deactivated within 2 seconds by double locking
the vehicle.
If the safe securing system is not in operation:
› the indicator light in the driver door flashes rapidly for about 2

seconds, goes
out and starts to flash at regular, longer intervals after about 30 seconds;
› is the filler flap locked.
The safe securing system is activated again the next time the vehicle is unlocked
and locked.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is deactivated, the vehicle
can be opened from the inside by pulling the door opening lever. WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is acti-
vated, there must not be any person in the vehicle as it is then no longer pos-
sible to open either a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors
make it more difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency -
hazard! Note
■ The anti-theft alarm system is activated when the vehicle is locked even if the
safe securing system is deactivated. The interior monitor is however not activa-
ted. ■ After locking the vehicle, you will be informed that the safe securing system is
activated by means of the message CHECK DEADLOCK on the instrument cluster
display. On vehicles that are equipped with an information display, the following
message will appear Check deadlock! Owner's manual! appears.Ð

» Fig. 12 and none of the doors
or the boot lid are opened within the next 30 seconds, the vehicle is automatical-
ly locked again and the safe securing system or anti-theft alarm system is reacti-
vated. This function is intended to prevent the car being unlocked unintentional-
ly.
In addition, when the car is unlocked, the electrically adjustable seats and exteri-
or mirrors move into the position assigned to this key. The stored setting of driver
seat and exterior mirrors is retrieved.
Locking
The turn signal lights flash once to confirm that the vehicle has been correctly
locked.
If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle has been locked, the
turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.
When the vehicle is unlocked or locked, the interior lights and entry lighting are
automatically switched on or off via the door contact. WARNING
If the car is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is activated,
there must not be any person in the car as it is then not possible to open ei-
ther a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more diffi-
cult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency - hazard! Note
■ Only operate the remote control when the doors and boot lid are closed and the
vehicle is in your line of sight. ■ To avoid the car being locked inadvertently once in the car, the lock button  of the remote control must not be pressed before the key is inserted into the ig-
nition lock. Should this happen, press the unlock button
 of the remote control.
■ The automatic raising of the small boot lid can be impaired at temperatures be-
low +4 °C. Ð

Unlocking and locking

Synchronisation
If the vehicle cannot be unlocked by actuating the remote control system then it
is possible that the code in the key and the control unit in the vehicle are no lon-
ger synchronised. This can occur when the buttons on the radio-operated key are
actuated a number of times outside of the operative range of the equipment or
the battery on the remote control was replaced.
This means it is necessary to synchronise the code as follows:
› press any button on the remote control key;
› pressing of the button means that the door will unlock with the key within 1 mi-
nute. ÐKESSY system
Introductory information
The KESSY system (Keyless Entry Start Exit System) enables a comfort unlocking
and locking of the vehicle and a start-up without actively using the remote con-
trol key. The KESSY system is integrated in the central locking system.
The safe securing system and anti-theft alarm system correspond to vehicles
without the KESSY system. Only the control elements are different.
When unlocking and locking the vehicle or for starting the engine it suffices to
carry the key with you, e.g. in your pocket. ÐLocking/unlocking
Fig. 13
KESSY: Designation of the areas and unlocking/locking the vehicle To lock/unlock a vehicle fitted with the KESSY system, it is necessary for the valid

32 Using the system

Note
■ If the battery in the remote control key is weak or discharged, the vehicle may
not be unlocked or locked via the KESSY system. In this case, use the emergency
unlocking or emergency locking of the driver's door » page 35.
■ The KESSY system can find the valid key, even if it was left in the front area of
the vehicle's roof for example. Make sure you know where the valid remote con-
trol key is at all times. ■ When locking/unlocking the vehicle using the sensors 1
» Fig. 13 or 2
do not
use gloves or other objects that might prevent the hand from coming into direct
contact with the sensor.
■ If you unlock the vehicle by means of the sensor in the handle and do not open
a door or the boot lid within the next 30
seconds, the vehicle will lock again auto-
matically and the safe securing system or anti-theft alarm system will be reactiva-
ted. This function is intended to prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally. ÐProtection against inadvertently locking the key in the vehicle
If the key, which was used to lock the vehicle, remains in the vehicle in the area D
» Fig. 13 on page 32

Introductory information
The anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against people
seeking to break into the vehicle. The system triggers audible and visual warning
signals if an attempt is made to break into the vehicle.
How is the alarm system activated?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated when the vehicle is locked with the radio
remote control or the key in the driver's door . The door contact monitoring is ac-
tivated approx. 15 seconds after the locking. The interior and the towing protec-
tion monitoring are activated approx. 30 seconds after the locking. If a door is
opened during activation, the monitoring is only activated 5 seconds after closing.
How is the alarm system deactivated?
The alarm system is deactivated by pressing the unlock button on the radio re-
mote control. The anti-theft alarm system is reactivated if the vehicle is not
opened within 30 seconds after transmitting the radio signal.
The alarm system is also deactivated if you unlock the driver door using the key
within 45 seconds of locking the vehicle. £
