If the vehicle was not locked from the outside, you can also unlock or lock it with
the button » Fig. 13 without the ignition switched on. While a door is opened, the
vehicle cannot be locked.
Locking

Press the button
» Fig. 13 . The symbol
in the button comes on.
Unlocking
›
Press the button
» Fig. 13 . The symbol
in the button is no longer illuminated.
The following applies if your vehicle has been locked using the central locking button.
› It is not possible to open the doors or the luggage compartment lid from the
outside (safety feature, e.g. when stopping at traffic lights etc.).
› The doors can be unlocked and opened from the inside by a single pull on the
opening lever of the respective door.
› In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
are automatically unlocked from the inside in order to enable rescuers to gain access to the vehicle.
WARNING■ Locked doors make it difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emer-
gency – hazard!■
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.
Note
If the safelock system is switched on » page 30
, the door opening lever and the
central locking buttons do not operate.
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.

The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been un-
locked.
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.
The seat and mirror are adjusted after the vehicle is unlocked » page 61, Memo-
ry function of the power seat .

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.

CAUTION■Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric win-
dows.■
In the event that the windows are frozen, first of all eliminate the
ice » page 162 , De-icing windows and exterior mirrors and only then operate the
electrical power windows. Otherwise, the electrical power window mechanism
could be damaged.
■
When leaving the locked vehicle make sure that the windows are closed at all
times.
For the sake of the environment
At high speeds, you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily
high fuel consumption.
Note
The window lift system is equipped with protection against overheating. Repea-
ted opening and closing of the window can cause this mechanism to overheat. If
this happens, it will not be possible to operate the window for a short time. You
will be able to operate the window again as soon as the overheating protection
has cooled down.

trol dial.
If a temperature higher than +29 ℃ is selected, a red symbol lights up on the con-
trol dial.
At both end positions, Climatronic runs at maximum cooling/heating output and
the temperature is automatically not regulated.
CAUTION
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially
around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when getting
out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold.
Automatic recirculated air mode
Recirculated air mode largely prevents polluted air from outside the vehicle get- ting into the vehicle, for example, when driving through a tunnel or when stand-
ing in a traffic jam.
