Unlocking and locking
Key
Description
The vehicle is supplied with two keys without remote control ⇒fig. 17 or with two keys with remote control* ⇒fig. 18. The keys fit in all vehicle locks.
Key ring
The key ring only has the key number on it which is essential for producing other keys. This number can be used to or der replacement keys from the Škoda Service Partners.
The key ring with the number should be separately and securely kept in safe keeping since keys can only be replaced if they are lost or damaged by giving this number. You should also therefore give this key ring to the purchaser when selling the vehicle.
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 othe rwise 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 st eering lock might otherwise engage unintentionally - risk of accident!
Caution
•Each key contains electronic compon ents; therefore protect them against moisture and severe shocks.
•Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean as impurities (textile fibres, dust etc.) have a negative effect on prop er operation of the keys and the ignition lock.
Note
Please approach a Škoda Service Partner if you lose a key since he can obtain a new one for you.
Changing the key battery
Each radio-operated key contains a battery which is housed in the
cover of the transmitter housing ⇒fig. 19. We recommend that
you have the batteries of the key replaced by a Škoda Service Partner.

You should, however, proceed as fo llows if you wish to replace the
battery yourself:
– Fold open the key.
– Use a screwdriver to carefully lever off the front part of the key
⇒ page 39, fig. 19 from the transmitter housing .
– Take off the cover of the transmitter housing ⇒page 39, fig. 20 in
direction of arrow.
– Take the used battery out of the housing cover.
– Insert the new battery. Ensure that the “+” symbol on the battery is
facing downwards. The correct polarity is also shown on the cover
of the transmitter housing.
– Insert cover with battery in place at the rear of the transmitter
housing and press both parts together.
– Insert the transmitter housing into the front part of the key so that
the two parts lock into each other.
For the sake of the environment
Dispose of an old battery in accordance with environmental regulations.
Note
•The replacement battery must have the same specification as the original battery.
•If it is still not be possible to unloc k or lock the vehicle with the remote control even after replacing the battery this means that the system has to be synchronised ⇒page 48.
Electronic immobiliser
The electronic immobiliser prevents the vehicle being oper-
ated by an unauthorised person.
An electronic chip is integrated in the head of the key. The immobiliser is deac- tivated with the aid of this chip when the key is inserted in the ignition lock. The electronic immobiliser is automatically activated when you withdraw the igni- tion key from the lock.
Note
It is only possible to start the engine of your car with a Genuine Škoda key with the matching code ⇒page 31.

Note
•The opened door cannot be locked with the securing knob. This prevents the possibility of forgetting the key in the locked vehicle.
•The opened side doors at the rear an d the front passenger door are locked by pressing in the securing knob and slamming the door closed.
•Please refer to the safety guidelines ⇒ in “Description” on page 41.
Child safety lock
The child safety lock prevents the rear door from being opened
from the inside.
The rear doors are equipped with a child safety lock. You can switch
the child safety lock on and off using the vehicle key.
Switching child safety lock on
– Use the vehicle key to turn the slit in the rear door to the left in the
direction of the arrow ⇒fig. 21.
Switching child safety lock off
– Use the vehicle key to turn the slit to the right against the direction
of the arrow.
So long as the child safety lock is switched on it is not possible to open the door from the inside with the door opening leve r. In this case the door can be opened only from the outside.
Central locking system*
Description
Unlocking or locking the vehicle causes all doors to be unlocked or locked at the same time by the central locking sy stem. The tailgate is unlocked when opening. It can be opened by pressing the hand grip above the licence plate.
Operation of the central locking system is possible:
•from the outside using the vehicle key ⇒page 43,
•using the buttons for the central locking system ⇒page 44,
•by using the remote control ⇒page 47.

Remote control*
Description
You can use the remote control:
•to unlock and lock the car,
•unlock the tailgate.
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the master key. The receiver is located in the interior of th e car. The operating range of the remote control is 10 metres but this range can be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The master key has a fold-open key bit which can be used for unlocking and locking the car manually and al so for starting the engine.
If a lost key is replaced or if the rece iver unit has been repaired or a new unit installed, it is then necessary for a Škoda Service Partner to initialise the system. Only after this is it possible to again use the remote control.
Note
•The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched on.
•The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by inter- ference from transmitters close to th e car and which operate in the same frequency range (e.g. mobile phone, TV transmitter).
•The battery must be replaced if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system does react to the remote control at less than 3 metres away. We recom- mend having the battery replaced by a Škoda Service Partner.

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 au tomatically if you unlock the vehicle using button but do not open a door or the tailgate within the next 30 seconds. This function is intended to prevent the car being unlocked uninten- tionally.
The safe securing system along with the anti-theft alarm system* are, however, deactivated during these 30 seconds.
When the vehicle is unlocked or locked, th e interior lights in the door contact are automatically switched on or off.
The turn signal lights flas h once to confirm that the vehicle has been correctly locked.
If the turn signal lights do not flash, check the doors, bonnet and tailgate again to ensure that they are closed. If the doors, the bonnet or the tailgate remain open when the anti-theft alarm system* is activated, the turn signal lights do not flash until after th ey 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 tailgate 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 happe n, 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 outsid e of the operative range of the equip- ment 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.
Anti-theft alarm system*
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 switched on?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically when the vehicle is locked with the key on the closed driver's door or by using the remote control. It is activated 30 seconds after closing the door.
How is the alarm sy stem switched off?
The anti-theft alarm system is switched off if the vehicle is unlocked by only using the remote control. The vehicle is automatically locked again if the vehicle is not opened within 30 seconds after reactivating the anti-theft alarm system.
Once you 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 unlocking the door in order to deactivate the anti-theft alarm system. The alarm will be triggered if you do not switch on the ignition within 15 seconds.
When is the alarm triggered?
The following security areas of the locked vehicle are monitored:
•Bonnet,
•Tailgate,
•Doors,
•Ignition lock,
•Vehicle interior* ⇒page 49,
•Angle of the vehicle*,
•A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply.
An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is disconnected while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
How is the alarm switched off?
You switch the alarm off if you unlock th e car with the radio remote control in the key or if you switch the ignition on.
Note
•The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years. More detailed information is available from your Škoda Service Partner.
•Before leaving the car, check that all the doors, windows and the electric sliding/tilting roof* are properly closed in order to ensure that the anti-theft alarm system is fully operational.
•Coding of the radio remote control and the receptor part precludes the use of the radio remote control from other vehicles.
Interior monitor* and Towing
protection*
The interior monitor and the to wing protection detect move-
ments inside the vehicle interi or and then trigger the alarm.
