37Instruments and warning lights

WARNING■Always adjust the speed and driving style to the actual weather, road, ter-
rain and traffic conditions.■
The diesel particulate filter reaches very high temperatures - there is a
fire hazard and serious injury could be caused. Therefore, never stop the
vehicle at places where the underside of your vehicle can come into contact
with flammable materials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled
fuel or such like.
CAUTION
■ As long as the warning light  illuminates, one must take into account an
increased fuel consumption and a power reduction of the engine.■
Using diesel fuel with increased sulphur content can significantly reduce the
service life of the diesel particle filter. A ŠKODA Partner will be able to tell you
which countries use diesel fuel with increased sulphur content.
Note
We encourage you to avoid constant short journeys. This will improve the com-
bustion process of the soot particles in the diesel particulate filter.

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. The functions of the central locking sys-
tem can be individually adjusted » page 52.
After unlocking, depending on vehicle equipment and setting, the following
is valid for the central locking.
▶ The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been
unlocked.
▶ A double audible signal sounds additionally on vehicles which are fitted with
the anti-theft alarm system.
▶ The doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap are unlocked.
▶ The interior lamp illuminates.
▶ The SafeLock system is switched off.
▶ The warning icon in the driver door stops flashing.
▶ The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated. 

49Unlocking and opening

After locking, depending on vehicle equipment and setting, the following is
valid for the central locking. ▶ The turn signal lights flash once as confirmation that the vehicle has been
locked.
▶ An audible signal sounds additionally on vehicles which are fitted with the
anti-theft alarm system.
▶ The doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap are locked.
▶ The interior lamp goes out.
▶ 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.
Protection against unwanted vehicle unlocking
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.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. These individuals
might not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help themselves.
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.
■
If the driver's door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked.

ference from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the same fre-
quency range (e.g. mobile phone, TV transmitter).■
The operating range of the remote control key is approx. 30 m. But this range
of the remote control can be reduced if the batteries are weak.

strument cluster after switching off the ignition.
Check SAFELOCK! Owner´s manual!CHECK SAFELOCKAfter locking the vehicle, the warning light in the driver's door flashes for
around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it begins to flash evenly at
longer intervals.
Switching off
The SafeLock can be switched off in one of the following ways. ▶ By locking twice within 2 seconds.
▶ By disabling the button for interior monitoring and anti-towing » page 55.
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.
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.
The SafeLock switches on the next time the vehicle is locked.WARNINGIf the car is locked and the SafeLock system activated, no-one may remain
