the opposite direction of the arrow. The door
can then be opened in the usual way.

12CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
The remote control integrated in the key
can be used to operate the central locking
and the anti-theft warning system - see
pages 8 and 13.
The central locking and anti-theft warning
systems can be operated from a distance
of up to 10 metres. If the batteries have lost
power, the range of the remote control is
reduced.

To lock the car briefly press button (pos. 2).
To open the key - press button (pos. 3).
To close the key - press button (pos. 3) and
fold the key together.
Note
The illustration shows the remote control
with the folding key. The functions of Un-
lock, Lock, etc. are the same as for the re-
mote control without folding key - refer to
the appropriate text.
Unlocking and locking carTo unlock the car, briefly press the button
(item 2).
To lock the car, briefly press the button

cally locked again after 30 seconds.
The Safe lock and the anti-theft alarm are
not operational during these 30 seconds,
however.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Synchronizing the car key codeIf it is no longer possible to unlock the car
using the remote control, the problem may
be that the codes of the key and the con-
trol unit in the car no longer agree. This can
happen if the buttons of the key are pres-
sed several times beyond the effective ran-
ge of the system or if the battery of the re-
mote control has been replaced.
For this reason, the code must be re-syn-
chronized by pressing any desired button
on the remote control. Open the door with
the key within one minute after pressing the
button.
Anti-theft alarm system*General notes

22CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTMemory for driver’s seatThe memory of your driver’s seat offers the
possibility of storing your own individual
settings for the seat and exterior mirrors. It
is possible to store the individual settings
for up to three drivers in each case using
the memory button D. If another person
drives the car, it is then only necessary to
press button D for the seat and exterior
mirrors to be set automatically to the indi-
vidually programmed position. Memory button
D can be used to store and
retrieve the
- individual settings of the driver’s seat,
- Storing and retrieving exterior mirror settings (on left and right) for driving
forward , or exterior mirror setting (on
right) for reversing.
In addition, you can use the keys of the
remote control* to retrieve the stored set-
tings of a memory button.
The memory system can be switched off at
any time with the lock switch E. The seat
and the exterior mirrors can then only be
adjusted manually.
Storing seat and mirror settings for
driving forward
Switch the ignition on.

Adjust the seat - see pages 20 and 21.

Adjust both exterior mirrors - see page
16.

Press one of the memory buttons D and
hold the button for about three seconds until
an audible signal confirms that the settings
have been stored.
The settings are then stored under the
memory button selected.

an audible signal confirms that the setting
has been stored.
The settings are stored under the selected
memory button.
Notes

We recommend beginning with the left-
hand button for the memory assignment
and allocating a memory button to each
additional driver.

Each new setting which is stored with the
same button cancels the previous setting.

Each time new settings are stored for the
seat and mirrors for driving forward, it is
also necessary to re-store the individual
setting of the right-hand exterior mirror for
reversing.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Assigning remote control keys* to
the memory buttonsIf you wish to be able to retrieve the set-
tings stored in the memory using the remote
control key, you must assign the keys to a
particular memory button.
We recommend assigning one of the two
factory-supplied remote control keys to the
left-hand memory button and the other keys
to the middle button.
You can obtain an additional remote con-
trol key, if necessary, from your Škoda Dea-
ler and then assign it to the right-hand
memory button.Carry out the following procedure
to assign the remote control keys:After storing the settings of the driver’s seat
and mirrors, you have 10 seconds to as-
sign the remote control key to the corre-
sponding memory.

Withdraw the remote control key from
the ignition lock for this purpose.

Press the opening button of the remote
control key - see page 12 and hold the but-
ton for about one second until an audible
signal confirms the assignment has been
made.
The setting is stored under the memory
button you selected.
Notes

If the remote control key has already
been assigned to another memory button,
the „old“ assignment is cancelled.

If the remote control key is assigned to
a memory button which has already been
assigned to another key, the „old“ assign-
ment is also cancelled in this case.

The assignment of a remote control key
to a memory button is retained even if you
store new seat and mirror settings with this
button.
Retrieving seat and mirror settings
for driving forwardYou can retrieve the stored settings by us-
ing the memory buttons D as well as the
remote control*.
Retrieving with the memory buttons

pressed during the automatic adjustment
of the seat and exterior mirrors, the retrie-
val process is interrupted. In this case,
again press the key which you pressed first
in order to continue the interrupted retrie-
val process. If, on the other hand, you press
one of the other two buttons, the seat and
mirrors will then move to the positions
stored with these buttons.
