Anti-theft alarm system
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Activating/deactivating
42
Interior monitor and towing protection
43
The anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against people
seeking to break into the vehicle. The system triggers audible and visual warning
signals if an attempt is made to break into the vehicle (hereafter referred to only
as alarm).
An alarm is triggered when the following monitored areas of the vehicle have a
fault.
› Bonnet.
› Boot lid.
› Doors.
› Ignition lock.
› Vehicle inclination
» page 43.
› Interior of car
» page 43.
› A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply.
› Socket of the factory-fitted towing device
» page 173, Driving with a trailer .
An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is discon-
nected while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
The alarm is switched off by unlocking the vehicle or switching on the ignition.
CAUTION
Before leaving the vehicle, it must be checked that all of the windows, doors and
the sliding/tilting roof are locked in order to ensure the full functionality of the
anti-theft alarm system.
Note
The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years.
Activating/deactivating
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 42.
Activating
The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically approximately 30 seconds
after the vehicle is 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.
Deactivating
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated automatically after the vehicle is un-
locked. If the vehicle is not opened within 45 seconds, the anti-theft alarm sys-
tem 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.
Note
When the Vehicle is unlocked using the key on the driver's door, insert the key
into the ignition and switch on the ignition in order to deactivate the alarm sys-
tem.

Automatic locking
44WARNING■ Ensure that the lock is properly engaged after closing the luggage compart-
ment lid. Otherwise, the boot lid might open suddenly when driving even if it
was locked – risk of accident!■
Never drive with the luggage compartment lid fully opened or slightly ajar
otherwise exhaust gases may get into the interior of the vehicle – risk of poi-
soning!
■
Do not press on the rear window when closing the luggage compartment lid,
it could crack – risk of injury!
CAUTION
If the vehicle was locked before the boot lid was closed, the lid is automatically
locked right away as soon as it is closed.
Note
The function of the handle above the licence plate is deactivated when starting
off or at a speed of 5 km/hour or more for vehicles with central locking. The func-
tion is restored after the vehicle stops and the door is opened.
43Unlocking and opening
Page 48 of 287
If you rapidly enter the vehicle during the opening or closing process of the boot
lid, the whole vehicle may jerk and as a result the movement of the lid can be in-
terrupted.
Manual operation
Manually opening and closing the lid is only possible in exceptional cases. It must
be completed slowly and without sudden movements as close to the centre of
the lid as possible »
.
WARNING■
Ensure that the lock is properly engaged after closing the lid. Otherwise, the
lid might open suddenly while the vehicle is moving, even if the lid was locked
– risk of accident!■
Never drive with the lid open or unlatched, as otherwise exhaust gases may
get into the interior of the vehicle – risk of poisoning!
CAUTION
■ The movement of the lid can be stopped by applying an abrupt and quick force
against the lid.■
Do not try to close the lid manually during the electrical closing process. Dam-
age can occur to the system of the electric boot lid.
■
If the lid is closed manually, it must be ensured that when moving the lid into
the lock, pressure is applied to the centre edge of the lid above the ŠKODA logo. Handling the sides of the lid can damage the electric lid.
CAUTION
■ Before opening or closing the lid, check if there are any objects in the opening
or closing range which could obstruct the movement (e.g. a load on the roof rack
or on the trailer, etc.) – risk of causing damage to the lid!■
Ensure that there is at least 10 cm of clearance above the opened lid (e.g. dis-
tance from the garage ceiling). Otherwise, it may happen that the clearance
above the opened lid is no longer sufficient after relieving the vehicle of a load
(e.g. after unloading) – risk of causing damage to the lid.
■
In certain circumstances, if the lid is loaded (e.g by a thick layer of snow), the
opening process of the lid can be interrupted. Remove the load on the lid to re-
enable the electrical operation.
■
If the lid closes automatically (e.g. under load of snow), you will hear an inter-
mittent beep.

The top lid position is adjusted, for example, in the following situations.
› When the space for opening the lid is limited (e.g. garage height).
› For a more convenient operation, such as by a person's height.
The top position which is reached when the lid opens automatically, is always
lower than the maximum top position which can be reached when the lid is
opened manually.
The lid always opens to the height which was last stored.
Malfunctions
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 44.
If the battery is disconnected and reconnected while the lid is open, it is necessa-
ry to activate the system of the electric boot lid. Activation means closing the lid
by hand. Thus, the end position of the lid is stored under fully closed in secured lock.

The electrical power windows can only be operated when the ignition is switched
on.
After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows for
approx. 10 minutes. The electrical power windows are only switched off com- pletely once the driver's door or front passenger door are opened.
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.
WARNING■ Ensure that no persons are still left in the vehicle when locking the vehicle.
In an emergency, the windows will no longer be able to be opened from the
inside.■
The system is fitted with a force limiter » page 49. If there is an obstacle,
the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several centi-
metres. The windows should nevertheless be closed carefully – risk of injury!
■
It is recommended to deactivate the electrically operated power windows in
the rear doors (safety switch)
S
if there are children in the rear seats » Fig. 23
on page 48.
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 207 , De-icing windows and exterior mirrors and only then operate the
electrical power windows. Otherwise, the window sealing and the electrical pow- er window mechanism could be damaged.
■
In the winter, ice accumulating on the surface of the window may cause there
to be more resistance when closing the window. The window will stop and move back several centimetres.
■
It is necessary to deactivate the force limiter to close the window » page 49.
■
When leaving the locked vehicle make sure that the windows are closed at all
times.
