For the sake of the environment
Dispose of a used battery in accord
ance with environmental regulations.
Note
Pay attention to the correct pola
rity when changing the battery.
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 42.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 deactivated with the aid of this chip when the key is in
serted in the ignition lock. The electronic
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.Locking / UnlockingValid for vehicles without
a central locking system:
Locking from outside The securing knob will move upwards or downwards in the door when unlocking or locking.

Switching child safety lock on– On vehicles without central locking system,
turn the slot of the safety lock on the
left door to the left
page 36, fig. 25
, on the right door turn it to the right.
– On vehicles with central locking system, turn
the slot of the safety lock on the left
door to the right, on the right door turn it to the left
page 36, fig. 25
.
Switching child safety lock off– On vehicles without central locking system,

left door to the right, on the right door turn it to the left.
– On vehicles with central locking system, turn
the slot of the safety lock on the left
door to the left, on the right door turn it to the right.
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 lever. In th
is case the door can be opened only from
the outside.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 38;
using the buttons for the
central locking system
page 39;
by using the remote control
page 41.
Indicator light in the driver's door After locking the vehicle the indicator light fl
ashes for 2 seconds fast, then more slowly.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system
page 38 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 43. Visit a specialist garage to obtain assist-
ance. Convenience operation of the windows One can open and close the electrically
powered windows when unlocking and
locking the vehicle
page 45.
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 au
tomatically once the car reaches a speed of
about 15 km/h. If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is
then automatically unlocked again. The driver
can also unlock the vehicle
by pressing the button
of the central locking system.
If you wish, you can have a specialist gara
ge activate the automatic locking function.
WARNING
Locking the doors prevents involuntary op
ening in an exceptional situation (an
accident). Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside, for example at road crossings. Locked do
ors 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 door which is fitted with
a locking cylinder can be unlocked and
locked using the key if the central locking sy
stem fails. You can operate the rear doors
manually.

– Fold one of the outer rear seats forwards. – Move the operating lever with the aid of a
narrow object, e.g. a screwdriver, up to
the stop in the direction of arrow
page 40, fig. 30
and then unlock in the
direction of arrow .
– Open the boot lid from the outside.Remote control*DescriptionYou can use the remote control:
to unlock and lock the vehicle;
unlocking boot lid.
The transmitter with the battery is incorporat
ed in the handle of the master key. The
receiver is located in the interior of the car. The operating range of the remote control key is approx. 10 m. 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 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 interference
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 centra
l locking or anti-theft alarm system does
not react to the remote control at less th
an 3 metres away. We recommend having the
battery replaced by
a specialist garage.

When the vehicle is unlocked or locked, the interior lights in the door contact are auto- matically switched on or off. Display of the locking The turn signal lights flash once to confir
m that the vehicle has been correctly locked.
If the vehicle is locked by pr
essing the button and some doors or the boot lid are
not closed, the turn signal lights flash only after closing.
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is acti-vated, 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 th
e 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 vehicle, you must not press the lock button
of the master key before
inserting the key into the ignition lock in
order to avoid the vehicle being inadvertently
locked and the anti-theft alarm system* being switched on. Should this happen, press the unlock button
of the master key.
Syncronisation of the remote controlIf the vehicle cannot be unlocked by actuatin
g the remote control system then it is
possible that the code in the key and the co
ntrol 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.Anti-theft alarm system*DescriptionThe 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 activated?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated au
tomatically when the
unlocked vehicle is
locked with the key inserted in the driver's
door or with the remote control key. It is
activated 30 seconds after locking the door. How is the alarm system deactivated? The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated if
the vehicle is unlocked by only using the
radio remote control. The anti-theft alarm system is reactivated if the vehicle is not opened within 30 seconds after transmitting the radio signal. Once you unlock the vehicle by inserting the ke
y into the driver door you then have to
insert the key into the ignition lock and sw
itch the ignition on within 15 seconds after
opening 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;
