Unlocking and locking 36Unlocking and lockingKeyDescriptionThe vehicle is supplied with two keys without remote control ⇒fig. 31 or with two
keys with remote control* ⇒fig. 32. 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 order replacement keys from specialist garages.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 hand over 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 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 unintention-
ally - risk of accident!Caution
•
Each key contains electronic components; therefore protect them against mois-
ture and severe shocks.
•
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean as impurities (textile fibres, dust
etc.) have a negative effect on the proper operation of the locking cylinder and the
ignition lock.Note
Please approach a specialist garage if you lose a key since he can obtain a new one
for you.

Changing the key batteryEach remote control key contains a battery which is housed in the cover
of the transmitter housing ⇒fig. 33. We recommend having the
battery of the key replaced by a specialist garage. You should, however,
proceed as follows 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
⇒fig. 33 from the transmitter housing .
– Take off the cover of the transmitter housing ⇒fig. 34 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 unlock or lock the vehicle with the remote control
even after replacing the battery this means that the system has to be synchronised
⇒page 45.
Electronic immobiliser
The electronic immobiliser prevents the vehicle being operated by an
unauthorised person.An electronic chip is integrated in the head of the key. The immobiliser is deacti-
vated with the aid of this chip when the key is inserted in the ignition lock. The elec-
tronic immobiliser is automatically activated when you withdraw the ignition 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 30.

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.

•
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.
