Display regarding the distance and days until the following service interval
You can use the button
5 to display the remaining distance driven and the days
until the next service interval ⇒ page 10.
A key symbol
and a display regarding the remaining kilometers appear for 10
second in the display. At the same time, a display appears regarding the remaining
days until the next service interval.
On vehicles which are equipped with an information display, you can call up this
display in the menu Settings ⇒ page 19.
The following will be displayed in the information display for 10 seconds: Service after ... km or... days. (Service after ... km or ... days.)
Resetting Service Interval Display
It is only possible to reset the Service Interval Display, if a service message or at
least a pre-warning is shown on the display of the instrument cluster.
We recommend having this resetting performed by a specialist garage.
The specialist garage:
● resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection;
● makes an entry in the Service Schedule;
● affix the sticker with the entry of the following service interval to the side of
the dash panel on the driver's side.
Reset the service interval displays by using the reset button 6 ⇒ page 10 on the
trip counter.
On vehicles which are equipped with an information display, you can call up this
display in the menu Settings ⇒ page 19.CAUTION
We recommend that you do not reset the Service Interval Display yourself other-
wise this can result in the service interval display being incorrectly set, which may
also result in problems with operation of your vehicle. Note
● Never reset the display between service intervals otherwise this may result in
incorrect readouts.
● information is retained in the Service Interval Display also after the battery of
the vehicle is disconnected. ●
If the instrument cluster is exchanged after a repair, the correct values must
be entered in the counter for the Service Interval Display. This work is carried out
by a specialist garage.
● The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible service
intervals (QG1) is displayed as that for a vehicle with fixed service intervals (QG2).
We therefore recommend having the Service Interval Display reset only by an au-
thorised ŠKODA Service Partner who is familiar with the procedure for resetting
the display with a vehicle system tester.
● Please refer to the brochure Service schedule for extensive information about
the service intervals.

Switching child safety lock off
–
On vehicles without 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.
– 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 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 system. The boot lid is unlocked when opening. It
can be opened by pressing the hand grip above the licence plate ⇒ page 33.
Operation of the central locking system is possible:
● from the outside using the vehicle key ⇒ page 31 ;
● using the buttons for the central locking system ⇒ page 32;
● with a remote control key ⇒ page 34,
Indicator light in the driver's door
After locking the vehicle, the warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick
succession, afterwards it begins to flash evenly at longer intervals.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system ⇒
page 30 is not operating,
the indicator light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and
starts to flash evenly at longer intervals 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 36. 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 37. 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.
This function can be activated/deactivated by a specialist garage.
Automatic locking and unlocking
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. The
driver can also unlock the vehicle by pressing the button
of the central locking
system.
This function can be activated/deactivated by a specialist garage. WARNING
Locking the doors prevents that doors open on their own in an exceptional sit-
uation (accident). Locked doors also prevent unauthorised entry into the vehi-
cle 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 vehi-
cle.
● Only the front door which is fitted with a locking cylinder can be unlocked and
locked using the key if the central locking system fails. You can lock or unlock
manually the other doors and the boot lid.
–Emergency locking of the door ⇒ page 32
.
– Emergency unlocking of the boot lid ⇒ page 33.
Safe securing The central locking system can be equipped with a
safe securing system. Locking
the vehicle from the outside causes the door locks to be automatically blocked.
The warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it
begins to flash evenly at longer intervals. It is not possible to open the doors with
the door handle either from the inside or from the outside. This acts as an effec-
tive deterrent for attempts to break into your vehicle. £30

cess to the vehicle. WARNING
The central locking system also operates if the ignition is switched off. All the
doors and the boot lid are locked. Children should never be left unattended in
the vehicle since it is difficult to provide assistance from the outside when the
doors are locked. Locked doors make it difficult for rescuers to get into the ve-
hicle in an emergency - hazard! Note
The door opening lever and the buttons for the central locking system do not op-
erate when the safe securing system is activated ⇒ page 30.
Emergency locking of the doors Fig. 14 Emergency locking of the door

If the vehicle is locked by pressing the button
3 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 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 radio remote con-
trol before inserting the key into the ignition lock in order to avoid the car being
inadvertently locked and the alarm system being switched on. Should this happen,
press the unlock button of the radio remote control.
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 lon-
ger 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
Description The anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against people seek-
ing to break into the vehicle. The system triggers audible and visual warning sig-
nals if an attempt is made to break into the vehicle. How is the alarm system activated?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically when the vehicle is locked
with the key on the driver's door or by using the radio remote control. It is activa-
ted 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 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 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 inclination ⇒ page 36,
● Vehicle interior ⇒ page 36,
● A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply,
● Socket of the factory-fitted towing device.
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 vehicle with the radio remote control or
if you switch the ignition on. Note
● The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years. More detailed information is
available by a specialist garage.
● Before leaving the car, check that all the doors, windows and the electric slid-
ing/tilting roof are properly closed in order to ensure that the anti-theft alarm sys-
tem is fully operational.
● Coding of the radio remote control and the receiver unit precludes the use of
the radio remote control from other vehicles. 35

WARNING
● If you lock the vehicle from the outside, do not leave any person in the ve-
hicle since it is no longer possible to open the windows from the inside in an
emergency.
● The system is fitted with a force limiter ⇒ page 37. If there is an obstacle,
the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several centime-
tres. You should then take particular care when closing the windows! You may
otherwise suffer severe injuries as a result of getting an arm, for example,
jammed in the window!
● It is recommended to deactivate the electrically operated power windows
in the rear doors (safety pushbutton) S ⇒
fig. 19 when children are being
transported on the rear seats. CAUTION
● Keep the window glass clean to ensure correct function of the electric win-
dows.
● In the event of a freezing up of the windscreen, first of all eliminate the ice
⇒ page 146 and then operate the power windows otherwise the power window
mechanism could be damaged. Note
● After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows
for a further 10 minutes. The power windows are switched off completely once
you open the driver or front passenger door.
● When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventilation
system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. If the windows are opened, dust
as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle and in addition the wind noise is more
at certain speeds.
Force limiter of the power windows The electrically operated power windows are fitted with a force limiter. It reduces
the risk of bruises or injuries when closing the windows.
If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down
by several centimetres.
If an obstacle prevents the window from being closed during the next 10 seconds,
the closing process is interrupted once again and the window goes down several
centimetres.
If you try to close the window once again within 10 seconds after the window has
gone down twice, although the obstacle was not yet removed, the closing process
is stopped only. During this time it is not possible to automatically close the win-
dow. The force limiter is still switched on.
The force limiter is switched off only, if you attempt within the next 10 seconds to
close the window again -
now the window will close with full force .
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force limiter is switched on again. WARNING
You should take particular care when closing the windows! You may otherwise
suffer severe injuries as a result of getting an arm, for example, jammed in the
window!

ing up.
Climatronic (automatic air conditioning) Description The Climatronic system is an automatic heating, fresh air and cool-
ing system which provides optimal comfort for the occupants of the
car.
The Climatronic maintains a constant temperature fully automatically, once it has
been set. This is achieved by automatically varying the temperature of the out-
flowing air, the blower stages and the air distribution. The system also takes into
account sunlight which eliminates the need to alter the settings manually. The
automatic mode ⇒ page 80 ensures maximum wellbeing of the occupants at all
times of the year.
Description of Climatronic system
The cooling operates only if the following conditions are met:
● engine running,
● outside temperature above approx. +2 °C,
● AC switched on.
The AC compressor is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to en-
sure cooling of the engine at high loads. Recommended setting for all periods of the year:
●
Set the desired temperature, we recommend 22 °C (72 °F).
● Press the button AUTO ⇒ fig. 80
.
● Move the air outlet vents 3 and 4 so that the air flow is directed slightly up-
wards.
Switching over between degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit
Press and hold the buttons AUTO and
AC ⇒ fig. 80
at the same time. The informa-
tion in the desired temperature measuring unit appears in the display. Note
● We recommend that you have Climatronic cleaned by a specialist garage once
every year.

Setting temperature –
You can set the desired interior temperature after switching on the ignition
with the control dial 1 .
You can set the interior temperature between +18 °C (17.78 °C) and +29 °C (30.00
°C). The interior temperature is regulated automatically within this range. If you
select the temperature below +18 °C (17.78 °C), “
LO” appears in the display. If you
select the temperature higher than +29 °C (30.00 °C), “HI” appears in the display.
In both limit positions the Climatronic operates at maximum cooling or heating ca-
pacity, respectively. The temperature is not controlled in this case.
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (in particular at
the leg area) and large differences in temperature, for example when getting out
of the vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.
Controlling blower There are a total of seven blower stages available.
The Climatronic system controls the blower stages automatically in line with the
interior temperature. You can also, however, adapt the blower stages manually to
suit your particular needs.
–
Turn the control dial 10 ⇒
fig. 80 to the left (reduce blower speed) or right (in-
crease blower speed).
If you switch off the blower, the Climatronic is switched off. £80
