The central locking system allows you to lock and unlock all doors, the fuel filler
flap and boot lid at the same time based on the current setting.
Display of the locking
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 inter-
vals.
Displaying an error
If the indicator light in the driver's door initially flashes quickly for around 2 sec-
onds, and then lights up for 30 seconds without interruption before flashing
again slowly, you will need to seek the assistance of a ŠKODA specialist garage.WARNING■ Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside, for ex-
ample at road crossings. Locked doors do, however, make it more difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – danger to life!■
If the car is locked and the safe securing system is activated, there must not
be any person in the car 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
■ The anti-theft alarm system is activated when the vehicle is locked even if the
safe securing system is deactivated. The interior monitor is however not activa- ted.■
Convenience opening/closing of the windows can be operated when locking/
unlocking the vehicle.
■
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 driver's door can be unlocked or locked using the key if the central
locking system fails » page 31. The other doors and the boot lid can be emer-
gency locked or unlocked. ■Emergency locking of the door » page 36.
■ Emergency unlocking of the luggage compartment lid » page 38.

Remote control
Introductory information
You can use the remote control key to:
› unlock and lock the vehicle,
› unlocking boot lid;
› open and close the windows
» page 40, Window convenience operation .
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the remote control
key. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle. 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.
The key has a fold-open key bit which can be used for unlocking and locking the
car manually and also for starting the engine.
The spare key must by initialised by a ŠKODA partner after the receiver unit is re-
paired or replaced. Only then can the remote control key be used again.
Note
■ 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 approx. 3 metres away » page 28.

If the button
is accidentally pressed before the key is inserted into the ignition,
press the button to unlock the vehicle.
WARNINGIf the car is locked from the outside and the safelock system is switched on,
there must not be any person in the car as it is then not possible to open ei-
ther a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more diffi-
cult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – hazard!
Note
■ Only operate the remote control when the doors and luggage compartment lid
are closed and the vehicle is in your line of sight.■
If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote control
key.
ABSynchronization
If the vehicle does not unlock when pressing the remote control, the key may not be synchronised. This can occur when the buttons on the remote control key areactuated a number of times outside of the operative range of the equipment or
the battery in the remote control key was replaced.
This means it is necessary to synchronise the key as follows:
› press any button on the remote control key;
› pressing of the button means that the door will unlock with the key within 1 mi-
nute.
KESSY system
Introductory information
The KESSY system (Keyless Entry Start Exit System) enables a comfort unlocking
and locking of the vehicle and starting the engine without actively using the
key » page 92 , Starting and stopping the engine . The KESSY system is integra-
ted in the central locking system and all of the functions of the remote control.

» Fig. 15 . It is therefore not always necessary to know
where the key is.
Always check to see whether the vehicle is locked.
CAUTION
■ After leaving the vehicle, it does not lock automatically, the procedure for lock-
ing the vehicle must therefore be observed.■
Do not use gloves or other objects which might prevent direct contact between
the hand and the sensor.
Note
■ If the battery in the key is weak or discharged, the vehicle may not be unlocked
or locked via the KESSY system. In this case, use the emergency unlocking or emergency locking on the driver's door » page 36.ABCProtection against inadvertently locking the key in the vehicle
If the key which was used to lock the vehicle including the boot lid, remains in the
vehicle, the protection mechanism against inadvertently locking the key in the ve-
hicle is activated and the vehicle unlocks itself again D
» Fig. 15 on page 33.
The turn signal lights flash four times as confirmation that the vehicle has been
unlocked again.
The following message is displayed in the information display or display of the in-
strument cluster: Key in vehicle. or KEY IN VEHICLE .
Additionally, on vehicles which are fitted with the anti-theft alarm system, an au- dible signal sounds.
Information message
The functions of the KESSY system are monitored. In the presence of a fault, one of the following messages may appear.
› Key not found.
› Key not detected. Owner's manual!
› NO KEY
This message is displayed if you leave the engine on and no key is detected in the vehicle. The message is then displayed when the ignition is switched on or the
engine is running or when no key was found in the vehicle. This can occur if the
key is outside the vehicle, the battery in the key is discharged, the key is defec-
tive or the electromagnetic field is strongly disturbed. Some electronic devices,
e.g. mobile phones, can also cause faults.
› Keyless access system faulty.
› KEYLESS ACCESS SYSTEM FAULTY

Pull the top edge of the button and close the window.
›
Release the button.

back several centimetres.
It is necessary to deactivate the force limiter to close the window » page 40.
Power panoramic sliding/sliding tilting roof
Introductory information
The power panoramic sliding/tilting roof (abbreviated in the following as 'sliding/
tilting roof'), can only be when the ignition is turned on and when the outdoor temperature is higher than -20 °C.
The sliding/tilting roof can still be operated for approx. 10 minutes after switching the ignition off. However, as soon as the driver or front passenger's door is
opened it is no longer possible to operate the sliding/tilting roof.
CAUTION■ Always close the sliding/tilting roof before disconnecting the battery.■If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, it is possible that the
sliding/tilting roof does not operate correctly. Next, move the rotary switch into
position A
