Unlocking and locking
42
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing
system is activated, there must not be any person and animals in
the vehicle as it is then not possible 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!
Unlocking the vehicle using the key
– Turn the key in the lock of the driver's door to the left into the
opening position ⇒fig. 22 .
– Pull on the door handle and open the door.
•All doors are unlocked (the securing knobs in the front doors must
move upwards).
•The boot lid is then unlocked.
•The switched on interior lights come on over the door contact.
•The safe securing system is deactivated.
•The windows are opened provided the key is held in the opening posi-
tion.
•The indicator light in the driver's door stops flashing if the vehicle is not
fitted with an anti-theft alarm system* ⇒page 48.
Note
If the vehicle is equipped with an anti-theft alarm system*, you must
unlock the vehicle by inserting the key into the driver door you then have
to insert the key into the ignition lock and switch the ignition on within 15
seconds after opening the door. The alarm will be triggered if you do not
switch on the ignition within 15 seconds.
Closing the vehicle with the key
– Turn the key in the lock of the driver door to the right into the
closing position ⇒fig. 22 .
•All doors and the boot lid are locked (the securing knobs in the front
doors must move downwards).
•The switched on interior lights go out over the door contact.
•The windows and the electric sliding/tilting roof* are closed provided
the key is held in the locking position.
•The safe securing system is activated immediately.

Folding out of the key
– Press button .
Folding up of the key
– Press button and collapse the key bit in the housing.
The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been
unlocked. The vehicle will lock again automatically if you unlock the
vehicle using button but do not open a door or the boot lid within the
next 30 seconds. This function is intended to prevent the car being
unlocked unintentionally.
The safe securing system along with the anti-theft alarm system* are,
however, deactivated during these 30 seconds.
If the single door opening function has been activated on your car, you
unlock only the driver door by pressing button once and the complete
vehicle by pressing the button twice ⇒page 40.
When the vehicle is unlocked or locked, the interior lights in the door
contact are automatically switched on or off.
The turn signal lights flash once to confirm that the vehicle has been
correctly locked.
The turn signal lights flash once to confirm that the vehicle has been
correctly locked. If the turn signal lights do not flash, check the doors,
bonnet and boot lid again to ensure that they are closed. If the doors, the
bonnet or the boot lid remain open when the anti-theft alarm system* is
activated, the turn signal lights do not flash until after they have been
closed.
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing
system is activated, there must not be any person in the vehicle as it is then not possible 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
•Operate the radio remote control only when the doors and boot lid are
closed and you have visual contact with the vehicle.
•Once in the car, you must not press the lock button of the master key
before inserting the key into the ignition lock in order to avoid the car being
inadvertently locked and, in addition, the anti-theft alarm system* being
switched on. Should this happen, press the unlock button
of the master
key.
Synchonisation of the remote control
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 longer 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.
•Pressing of the button means that the door will unlock with the key
within 1 minute.

on. The corresponding indicator light or in the instrument cluster also
flashes.
•The turn signal is automatically cancelled after negotiating a curve.
•The side light and rear light on the appropriate side of the vehicle are
switched on when the parking light is selected. The parking light function
only operates if the ignition is switched off.
•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. The
acoustic warning signal will stop just as soon as the driver's door is closed.

The interior light is switched on for about 20 seconds when a vehicle with
a central locking system is unlocked, when a door is opened or when the
ignition key is removed. The requirement for this is that the switch is in
the door contact position. The inner light goes out out immediately after
the ignition is switched on.
A time delay switch* causes the inner lighting on vehicles without a central
locking system stays on for a few seconds after the doors have been
closed. The inner light goes out out immediately after the ignition is
switched on.
The interior lighting is switched off after about 30 minutes when a door has
been left open in order to avoid discharging the battery of the vehicle.
Interior lighting at the r ear* (estate vehicle, sedan)
The lights ⇒fig. 38 are actuated by pressing the glass on the symbol ,
O or by switching to the middle position .
The same principles apply for the interior lighting at the rear as for the for
the interior lighting at the front ⇒ page 58.
Note
We recommend having these bulbs replaced by a Škoda dealer.

Recirculated air mode
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of

of time. “Stale air” may result in fatigue in the driver and passen-
gers, reduce attention levels and also cause the windows to mist
up. The risk of having an accident increases. Switch recirculated
air mode off as soon as the windows begin misting up.
