Safe 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
warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it be-
gins 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 effec-
tive deterrent against 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 operating, the warning light in the driver door
flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts to flash evenly at longer in-
tervals after about 30 seconds.
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 door can
be opened from the inside by a single pull on opening lever of the respective
door. 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! ÐUnlocking the vehicle using the key
Fig. 11
Turning the key for unlocking
and locking the vehicle ›
Turn the key in the locking cylinder of the driver's door in the direction of travel
(unlocking position) A
» Fig. 11.
› Pull the door handle and open the door.
› All the doors are unlocked.
› The luggage compartment lid is then unlocked.
› The switched on interior lights come on over the door contact.
› The safe securing system is deactivated. Ð Locking the vehicle with the key
› Turn the key in the locking cylinder of the driver's door in the opposite direction
of travel (lock position) B
»
Fig. 11
on page 22.
› All the doors and the luggage compartment lid are locked.
› The switched on interior lights will switch off over the door contact.
› The safe securing system is immediately activated.
› The warning light in the driver door begins flashing. Note
If the driver's door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked. Ð Door opening lever

Central locking button
If the vehicle was not locked from the outside, you can also unlock and lock it
with the button » Fig. 13 without the ignition switched on.
Locking all doors and the luggage compartment lid › Press the button
» Fig. 13.
Unlocking all doors and the luggage compartment lid
› Press the button
.
The following applies if your vehicle has been locked using the central locking
button.
› It is not possible to open the doors or the luggage compartment lid from the
outside (safety feature, e.g. when stopping at traffic lights etc.).
› The doors can be unlocked and opened from the inside by a single pull on the
opening lever of the respective door.
› If at least one door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked.
› In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
are automatically unlocked from the inside in order to enable rescuers to gain
access to the vehicle. WARNING
The central locking system also operates if the ignition is switched off. Chil-
dren should never be left unattended in the vehicle since it is difficult to pro-
vide assistance from the outside when the doors are locked. Locked doors
make it difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – hazard! Note
If the safe securing system is activated » page 22, the door opening lever and the
central locking buttons do not operate. Ð Remote control
Introductory information
You can use the remote control key to:
› unlock and lock the vehicle,
› unlock the luggage compartment lid.
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the remote control
key. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle. The operating range of
the remote control key is approx. 30 m. But this range of the remote control can
be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The key has a fold-open key bit which can be used for unlocking and locking the
car manually and also for starting the engine.
If a lost key is replaced or if the receiver unit has been repaired or replaced, the
system must be initialised by a ŠKODA
Service Partner. Only then can the remote
control key be used again. Note
■ The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched
on. ■ The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interfer-
ence from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the same frequency
range (e.g. mobile phone, TV transmitter). £

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Switching lights on and off 29
DAY LIGHT function (Daytime running light) 30
Fog lights 30
Rear fog light 30
Parking light 30
Headlight beam adjustment 30
Switches for the hazard warning light system 31
Turn signal and main beam lever 31
On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in » Fig. 21 on page
29. The symbols which mark the switch po-
sitions are identical, however. WARNING
Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright enough
to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other oncom-
ing traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is dark or if visi-
bility is poor. CAUTION
■ The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with na-
tional legal requirements.
■ The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the lights. Note
■ If the light switch is in the position , the ignition key is removed and the driv-
er's door is open, an audible warning signal will sound. The audible warning signal
is switched off by means of the door contact when the driver's door is closed (ig-
nition off), however, the side lights remain on to illuminate the parked vehicle if
necessary. ■ The instruments are also illuminated when the side light or low beam light is
switched on. ■ In the event of cool or humid weather conditions, the headlights can be misted
up from inside. The temperature difference between interior and external area of
the headlight lenses is decisive. When the driving lights are switched on, the light
outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although the headlight
lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. It also concerns reverse light
and turn signal lights. This mist has no influence on the life of the lighting system. Ð Switching lights on and off

dazzled. Note
■ The turn signal system only operates when the ignition is switched on. The cor-
responding warning light or in the instrument cluster also flashes.
■ The turn signal is automatically cancelled after negotiating a curve.
■ An acoustic warning signal will sound when the driver's door is opened if the
lever is not in the middle position after removing the ignition key from the igni-
tion lock. The acoustic warning signal will stop just as soon as the driver's door is
closed. ÐInterior light

Fig. 69
Button for the START-STOP sys-
tem
The START-STOP system helps you to save fuel while at the same time reducing
harmful exhaust emissions and CO 2 emissions.
The function is automatically activated each time the ignition is switched on.
In the start-stop mode, the engine automatically switches to the vehicle's idle
phase, e.g. when stopped at traffic lights.
Information regarding the current state of the
START-STOP system is indicated in
the display of the instrument cluster.
Automatic engine shut down (stop phase)
› Stop the vehicle (where necessary, apply the handbrake).
› Take the vehicle out of gear.
› Release the clutch pedal.
Automatic renewed engine restart (start phase).
› Depress the clutch pedal.

The START/STOP
system can be switched on/off by pressing the button » Fig. 69.
When start-stop mode is deactivated, the warning light in the button lights up.
If the vehicle is in the stop phase when manually switching off the system, the
engine starts immediately.
