Central locking system*DescriptionUnlocking or locking the vehicle causes all doors to be unlocked or locked at the
same time by the central locking system. The boot lid 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 40;
•
using the buttons for the central locking system ⇒page 41;
•
by using the remote control ⇒page 43.
Indicator light in the driver's door on vehicles without anti-theft alarm system
After the car is locked, the indicator light flashes after 2 seconds.
After the car is locked with the deactivated safe securing system, the indicator light
flashes only after 30 seconds.
Indicator light in the driver's door on vehicles with anti-theft alarm system
After locking the vehicle the indicator light flashes for 2 seconds fast, then more
slowly.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system ⇒page 40 is not operating, the
indicator light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts
to flash slowly after about 30 seconds.
If the indicator light first of all flashes fast for about 2 seconds, afterwards lights up
for about 30 seconds and then flashes slowly, there is a fault in the system of the
central locking or the interior monitor* ⇒page 46. Visit a specialist garage to
obtain assistance.
Convenience operation of windows
One can open and close the electrically powered windows when unlocking and
locking the vehicle ⇒page 48.Opening a single door*
This function makes it possible to only unlock the driver's door. The other doors
remain locked and are only unlocked when the command is repeated. The single
door opening function can be first activated by recoding the control unit of the
central locking system. This work is undertaken by a specialist garage which can
give you more information.
Automatic locking*
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If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked again.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 to unlock the car by pressing the central locking
button
 or by pulling the door opening lever.
If you wish, your Škoda Dealer can activate the function of the automatic locking
mode.WARNING
•
Locking the doors prevents involuntary opening in an exceptional situa-
tion (an accident). Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle
from outside, for example at road crossings. Locked doors do, however,
make it more difficult for rescuers 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 vehicle.
•
Only the front doors which are fitted with a locking cylinder can be unlocked
and locked using the key if the central locking system fails. You can operate the rear
doors manually.

s3f4.1.book Page 39 Thursday, June 18, 2009 11:07 AM

Unlocking and locking 40Safe securingThe central locking system is equipped with a safe securing
3) system. Locking the
vehicle from the outside causes the door locks to be automatically blocked. The
indicator light in the driver's door flashes. 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.
You can deactivate the safe securing system. This is done by locking the vehicle with
the key or remote control key twice within 2 seconds.
The safe securing system is again activated the next time the vehicle is unlocked and
locked again.
The doors can be opened from the inside if the vehicle is locked and the safe
securing system is deactivated:
•
the door is unlocked by actuating the door-opening lever;
•
The door opens upon actuating the door-opening lever again.
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is acti-
vated, 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 emer-
gency - hazard!
Unlocking the vehicle using the key– Turn the key in the locking cylinder of the driver's door to the left into
the opening position ⇒fig. 36.
– Pull on the door handle and open the door.•
All the doors are unlocked.
•
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 position.
•
The indicator light in the driver's door stops flashing if the vehicle is not fitted
with an anti-theft alarm system* ⇒page 45.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 unlocking the
door. The alarm will be triggered if you do not switch on the ignition within 15
seconds.
3)The equipment is only valid for some countries.

•
Do not press on the rear window when closing the boot lid, it could crack
- risk of injury!Note
•
After closing the boot lid, it is automatically locked within 1 seconds and
the anti-theft alarm system* is activated. This applies only if the vehicle was
locked before closing the boot lid.
•
The function of the hand grip above the licence plate is deactivated when
starting off or as of a speed of more than 5 km/hour for vehicles with central
locking. The function of the hand grip is activated again when the vehicle has
stopped and a door is opened.
•
Hold the boot lid when opening.
Emergency unlocking of the boot lidIf there is a fault in the central locking, you can open the boot lid as
follows:
– Fold one of the outer rear seats forwards.– Move the operating lever A with the aid of a narrow object e.g. screw-
driver up to the stop in the direction of arrow; the boot lid is then
unlocked.
– Open the boot lid/luggage compartment door from outside.
Remote control*DescriptionYou can use the remote control:•
to unlock and lock the vehicle;
•
unlocking boot lid.
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the master key. The
receiver is located in the interior of the car. The operating range of the remote
control is approx. 10 m. But this range of the remote control 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 also for starting the engine.
If a lost key is replaced or if the receiver unit has been repaired or a new unit
installed, it is then necessary for a specialist garage to adapt 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 interfer-
ence from transmitters close to the 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 recommend having
the battery replaced by a specialist garage.

Technical Data
Synchonisation of the remote controlIf 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 actu-
ated 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.
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 in the driver's door or when locking with the remote control. It is acti-
vated 30 seconds after locking the door.
How is the alarm system 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;
•
boot lid;
•
doors;
•
ignition lock;
•
vehicle interior* ⇒page 46;
•
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 discon-
nected while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
How is the alarm switched off?
You switch the alarm off if you unlock the 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 avail-
able by a specialist garage.
•
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 receiver unit precludes the use of
the radio remote control from other vehicles.
