Vehicle key
Introductory information
Fig. 8
Key without remote control/key with remote control (remote control
key)
Two keys are provided with the vehicle. Depending on the equipment, your vehi-
cle can be equipped with keys without radio remote control » Fig. 8 – or with
radio remote control»
Fig. 8 – . WARNING
■ Always withdraw the key whenever you leave the vehicle – even if it is only
for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the vehicle.
The children might otherwise 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 steering lock might otherwise engage unintentionally –
risk of accident! CAUTION
■ Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.
■ Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
etc.) have a negative effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and igni-
tion lock. Note
Please contact a ŠKODA Service Partner if you lose a key as they can obtain a new
one for you. Ð Replacing the battery in the remote control key
Fig. 9
Remote control key: Remove cover/remove battery
Each remote control key contains a battery which is housed under the cover B
» Fig. 9. The battery needs replacing if red warning light
» Fig. 8 on page 20 –
does not go on when you press a button on the remote control key. We recom-
mend that you ask a ŠKODA
Service Partner to replace the key battery. However,
if you would like to replace the discharged battery yourself proceed as follows.
› Flip out the key.
› Press off the battery cover with your thumb or using a flat screwdriver in the
region of arrows 1
» Fig. 9.
› Remove the discharged battery from the key by pressing the battery down-
wards in the region of arrow 2
.
› Insert the new battery. Ensure that the “+” symbol on the battery is facing up-
wards. The correct polarity is shown on the battery cover.
› Place the battery cover on the key and press it down until it clicks into place.

CAUTION
■ Pay attention to the correct polarity when changing the battery.
■ The replacement battery must have the same specification as the original bat-
tery. For the sake of the environment
Dispose of the used battery in accordance with national legal provisions. Note
■ Please contact a ŠKODA Service Partner if you lose a key as they can obtain a
new one for you. ■ The system has to be synchronised, if the vehicle cannot be unlocked or locked
with the remote control key after replacing the battery » page 24.ÐChild safety lock
Fig. 10
Child safety locks on the rear
doors
The child safety lock prevents the rear door from being opened from the inside.
The door can only be opened from the outside.
You can switch the child safety lock on and off using the vehicle key.
Switching on › Turn the slot of the lock on the left-hand door clockwise
»
Fig. 10 – do the same
anti-clockwise on the right-hand door.
Switching off
› Turn the slot of the lock on the left-hand door anti-clockwise – do the same
clockwise on the right-hand door. Ð Central locking system
Introductory information
When using central locking or unlocking, all doors are locked or unlocked simulta-
neously. The luggage compartment lid is then unlocked. You can then open the
luggage compartment lid by pressing the button » page 25.
Automatic locking and unlocking
All the doors and the luggage compartment 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 to unlock the car by pressing the central lock-
ing button » page 23.
The doors can be unlocked and opened from the inside by a single pull on the
opening lever of the respective door.
Upon request you can have automatic locking and unlocking activated by a
ŠKODA Service Partner. 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
■ 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 22. The other doors and the luggage compartment
lid can be manually locked or unlocked. ■ Emergency locking of the door » page 25.
■ Emergency unlocking of the luggage compartment lid » page 26.Ð

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). £

Unlocking
The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been un-
locked. If the vehicle is unlocked using button 1
and none of the doors or the
luggage compartment lid are opened within the next 30 seconds, the vehicle is
automatically locked again and the safe securing system is reactivated. This func-
tion is intended to prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally. Locking
The turn signal lights flash once to confirm that the vehicle has been correctly
locked.
If the doors or the luggage compartment lid remain open after the vehicle has
been locked, the turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.
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 luggage compartment 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.
Ð Synchronization
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. Ð
