SmartGate constitutes a system, which transmit certain driving data (such as
fuel consumption, speed or similar) via Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct.
The ŠKODA compatible communications device (e.g. phone, tablet, notebook)
offer the possibility to further transmit the received data.
More information on available applications, a list of compatible communication
devices and on SmartGate, can be found on the ŠKODA Internet pages.
Use the Service App application to update the SmartGate software. You can
fine information on this application on the ŠKODA Internet pages.
WARNING■ The national legal regulations for using mobile communication devices in
a vehicle must be observed.■
Do not fit the equipment or mounts to be connected onto airbag covers
or within the immediate deployment range of the airbags.
■
Never leave a connected device in the deployment area of an airbag, on a
seat, on the dash panel or any another area, from which it can be thrown
during a sudden braking manoeuvre, an accident or a collision - there is a
risk of injury.
CAUTION
ŠKODA accepts no responsibility for any problems caused by incompatibility or
improper functioning of the communication equipment and the applications.Note■ The ŠKODA applications, support communications devices with the Android
operating system version 4.x.x and later and iOS 7.x.x and higher.■
With SmartGate, a device can be connected to two ongoing ŠKODA applica-
tions, possibly two devices, each with a respective current ŠKODA application.
■
If you have forgotten your password for the connection to SmartGate, Smart-
Gate must be reset to factory settings in a specialised workshop.
Connection to SmartGate using Wi-Fi

Your car is equipped with a central locking system.
The central locking system allows you to lock and unlock all doors, the fuel fill-
er flap and boot lid at the same time.
Depending on the equipment configuration, the following is true after
unlocking
› The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been
unlocked.
› The doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap are unlocked.
› The interior light, which is switched by the door contact, comes on.
› The SafeLock system is switched off.
› The warning icon in the driver door stops flashing.
› The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated.
If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next
45 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically and the SafeLock system
or anti-theft alarm system will be switched on. This function is intended to
prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally.
Depending on the equipment configuration, the following is true after
locking
› The turn signal lights flash once as confirmation that the vehicle has been
locked.
› The doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap are locked.
›The interior light switched by the door contact goes off.
› The SafeLock system is switched on.
› The warning light in the driver door begins flashing.
› The anti-theft alarm system is activated.
If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle doors have been
locked, the turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.WARNING■ Never leave the key in the vehicle when you exit the vehicle. Unauthor-
ized persons, such as children, for example, could lock the car, turn on the
ignition or start the engine - danger of injury and accidents!■
When leaving the vehicle, never leave people who are not completely in-
dependent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle. The children might,
for example, release the handbrake or take the vehicle out of gear. The ve-
hicle could then start to move – risk of accident! These individuals would
possibly not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help them-
selves. At very high or very low temperatures can be fatal!
CAUTION
■ Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.■
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
etc.) impair the function of the locking cylinder and ignition lock.
■
The battery must be replaced if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
does react to the remote control at less than approx. 3 metres away
» page 177 .
■
Always check that the vehicle is locked before leaving it.
■
If the driver's door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked.
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.49Unlocking and opening

SafeLock
Read and observe
and on page 49 first.
The door locks are locked automatically if the vehicle is locked from the out-side. The vehicle cannot now be opened from the inside.
This fact is pointed out by the following message on the display of the instru- ment cluster after switching off the ignition.
Check SAFELOCK! Owner's manual!
CHECK SAFELOCK
Switching off
The SafeLock can be switched off in one of the following ways.
›
By locking twice within 2 seconds.
› By disabling interior monitoring
» page 55, Interior monitor and towing pro-
tection .
If the vehicle is locked and the SafeLock system is switched off, the door can
be opened separately from the inside by a single pull on the opening lever.
Switching on
The safelock switches on automatically the next time the vehicle is locked and
unlocked.
Switch-off display
The warning icon in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out
and starts to flash regularly at longer intervals after about 30 seconds.
Switch-on display
The warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it begins to flash evenly at longer intervals.WARNINGIf the car is locked and the SafeLock system activated, no-one may remain
in the car as it will then not be possible to either unlock a door or open a
window from the inside. The locked doors make it more difficult for rescu-
ers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!
Individual settings
Read and observe
and on page 49 first.
The following functions of the central locking system can be set individually
» Infotainment user manual , chapter Vehicle settings (button CAR) .
Opening a single door
The function allows you to unlock only the driver's door and the fuel filler flap.
The other doors and the boot lid remain locked and are only unlocked after be-
ing opened again.

Interior monitor and towing protection
55
The anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against theft and
break-in.
The alarm system triggers audible and visual signals if an attempt is made to
break into the vehicle (hereafter referred to only as alarm).
Triggering the alarm
The alarm is triggered when the following unauthorized actions are carried out
on the locked vehicle.
› Opening the bonnet.
› Opening the boot lid.
› Opening the doors.
› Manipulation of the ignition lock.
› Towing the vehicle
» page 55.
› Movement in the vehicle
» page 55.
› Sudden and significant voltage failure of the electrical system.
› Uncoupling the trailer
» page 133, Trailer, connect and disconnect .
If the driver's door of a vehicle with a remote control is unlocked and opened
by the lock cylinder, then the alarm is triggered.
Switching off the alarm
The alarm is turned off by pressing the button on the radio remote control
key or switching on the ignition.
CAUTION
Before leaving the vehicle, check that the doors and windows are closed in or-
der to ensure that the alarm system is fully operational.
Note
The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years.
Activating/deactivating
Read and observe
on page 54 first.
Activating
The alarm system is activated automatically approximately 30 seconds after
the vehicle is locked.
If the vehicle is unlocked and a door or the boot lid not opened within the next
45 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically and the SafeLock system
or anti-theft alarm system will be switched back on. This function is intended
to prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally.
Deactivating
The alarm system is deactivated automatically after the vehicle is unlocked. If
the vehicle is not opened within 45 seconds, the alarm system is automatically
activated again.
The alarm system is also deactivated if you unlock the driver door using the
key within 45 seconds of locking the vehicle.

been removed, the closing process is only stopped. During this time it is not
possible to automatically close the window. The force limiter is still switched
on.
The force limiter is only switched off if you attempt to close the window again
within the next 10 seconds - the window will now close with full force!
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force limiter is switched on again.WARNING■ Variant 1 of the power window » Fig. 43 on page 57 has no force limiter.
The windows should be closed carefully – risk of injury.■
The passenger window in variant 2 of the power window » Fig. 43 on
