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
The anti-theft alarm system enhances the
protection provided against attempts to
break into the car.
The anti-theft alarm system monitors the
following parts of the car:
- Doors
- Tailgate
- Bonnet
- Ignition lock
- Interior of car
1).
- Voltage drop in electrical system.
The alarm is activated by:

Opening the doors

Opening the tailgate

Opening the bonnet

Switching on the ignition

Movements inside the car.
The alarm is recognizable from the visual
and audible signals2) (the flashing of the
turn signal lights and the noise of the si-
ren) for 30 seconds.
1)Alarm is triggered by the movement of persons
in the interior of the car or by an attempt to steal
the car radio. It is possible, in certain circum-
stances, that the rear area of the interior of the
car is not fully monitored.2)The characteristics of the visual and audible sig-
nal differ according to the country.
If a further attempt is made to break into
the car after these 30 seconds, the alarm
is again activated.Operating the anti-theft alarm systemActivating alarm
Lock the car with the key or by pressing the
lock button of the remote control. The mo-
nitoring functions are thus switched on.
Deactivating alarm
is deactivated by pressing the Unlock key
on the remote control. The check functions
are switched off in this case. If the remote
control is not operating properly, you can
deactivate the anti-theft alarm system in the
following manner: unlock the car and then
switch the ignition on.
After unlocking and not opening the doors,
the alarm is reactivated after 30 seconds.

14CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTThe radio remote control can be used to
activate the anti-theft alarm system and to
lock the car, or to deactivate the anti-theft
alarm system and to unlock the car.Switching off interior motion sensorThe procedure for switching the interior mo-
tion sensor off and on is the same as for
switching off the Safe lock - see page 9.
This function makes it possible, for examp-
le, to leave animals in the car.
Switching off alarm
If the alarm has been triggered, press and
hold the Unlock button of the remote con-
trol for about one second in order to switch
off the alarm. The alarm is then switched
off and the car is unlocked. You can also
switch off the alarm by unlocking the car
with the key and the switching the ignition
on. The anti-theft alarm system is re-acti-
vated by once again pressing the button
(lock car).
General notes
The life of the siren source is 5 years.
Further information is available from
your Škoda Dealer.

The frequency coding of the remote con-
trol and the receiver means that it is not
possible to use the remote control of other
cars.

If the key and remote control are lost,
please contact your Škoda Dealer.

The power for the remote control is sup-
plied by batteries. If the anti-theft alarm
system does not react to the remote con-
trol until you are less than 3 metres from
the car or if the indicator light in the key
does not flash when the button is pressed,
the batteries have to be replaced. This is
best done at a Škoda Dealer.

cluded in the instructions of the CD changer.

46CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTIf the engine does not start, once again pre-
heat and start once again as described. If
the engine still does not fire, the fuse for
the diesel glow plug system may have
blown - see page 167.
Contact your Škoda Dealer.
Starting a warm engine
If the engine is already at operating tem-
perature when started, the glow warning
lamp does not come on - the engine can
be started straightaway.
Switching off engineDo not switch off the engine immediately
after operating it for a lengthy period at
high engine loads, but allow it to run at
idling speed for about 2 minutes to avoid
any build-up of heat.Warning
Never switch off the engine before
the vehicle is stationary - risk of ac-
cident!
The brake booster only operates
when the engine is running. Greater
physical effort for braking is required
when engine is switched off. Be-
cause if you do not stop as normal,
this can cause an accident and se-
vere injuries.
After the ignition has been switched
off, the fan may continue running for
a while (up to about 10 minutes) with
the ignition switched off. It may also
start to run again suddenly after a
short time if
- the coolant temperature increases
due to heat build-up
- when engine is warm and the en-
gine compartment is heated addi-
tionally by strong sunlight.
Special care must therefore be taken
when working in the engine compart-
ment!
Audible signalsThe status of certain systems is indicated
by an audible signal sounding; refer to the
chapters on:
- Audible signal when reversing - page 47
- Excess speed signal - page 47
- Warning lamp - page 56
- Information display - page 53
- Switch - page 62.
The audible signal may also sound when
using a car radio - see operating instruc-
tions of the radio.

150GENERAL MAINTENANCEAfter connecting the battery- restore operation of the convenience sys-tem - see page 16
- set the time - see page 50
- if the radio is protected by a code, set the code - see operating instructions of
car radio
The data of the multifunction display are
erased - see page 50.Replacing batteryIf the battery has to be replaced, the new
battery should have the same capacity, volt-
age (12 volts), amperage, design and have
a plug seal. Škoda Dealers have available
a range of suitable batteries.
Because of the disposal problem in- volved with old batteries, it is best
to have the battery replaced by a Škoda Dealer. Batteries contain substancessuch as sulphuric acid and lead andmust on no account be disposed of in
domestic refuse.
Spark plugsThe spark plugs are replaced as part of the
Škoda Inspection Service.

Should it be necessary to replace the
spark plugs between the Inspection Service
intervals, proceed as follows:Spark plugs and ignition system are matched
to the engine and thus contribute to an ex-
haust with low emission levels.Only the spark plugs selected for the par-
ticular engine should be used in order to
avoid operational problems, engine dam-
age and any infringement of legal require-
ments in respect of emission levels or ra-
dio interference from the spark plugs. Par-
ticularly important aspects are the number
of electrodes, the thermal value and radio
interference suppression.

Spark plugs may also be subject to tech-
nical modifications at short notice. It is
therefore recommended to purchase them
only from Škoda Dealers as they are always
informed of the up-to-date situation.
Ribbed belt
The ribbed belt is one of the components
of the car which is subjected to the most
stress. It is therefore necessary to place
particularly high quality requirements in res-
pect of the belts.

When replacing a ribbed belt, it is not
sufficient to use any ribbed belt of whatever
size. For safety reasons, use only the
ribbed belts selected for your car.

Ribbed belts may also be subject to
technical modifications at short notice. It is
therefore recommended to purchase them
only from Škoda Dealers and to also have
the belts changed there as they are always
informed of the up-to-date situation.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Mobile phones
and two-way radios
In addition, it is only possible to achieve the
optimal range of such equipment with an
external aerial.
Note
Please pay attention to the operating
instructions of the mobile phone or two-
way radio!
If you wish to use a mobile phone or two-
way radio with a transmission power of
more than 10 watts, please always discuss
this with your Škoda Dealer as he is in-
structed of the technical facilities which
exist for retrofitting mobile phones and two-
way radios.Warning

Please always devote maximum
attention to driving your car!


Never install mobile phone mounts
on the covers of the airbags or in the
deployment area of the airbags other-
wise there is an increased risk of in-
jury if the airbag is deployed in the
event of an accident!
Installation of mobile phones and two-way
radios requires official approval and should
be carried out by an authorized workshop,
e.g. by a Škoda Dealer.
Škoda Auto has approved the operation of
mobile phones and two-way radios for your
car with a professionally installed external
aerial and a maximum transmission power
of 10 watts.
Use of a mobile phone or a two-way ra-
dio can result in operational problems
to the electronic systems of your car in
the following situations:
- no external aerial
- external aerial incorrectly installed
- transmission power in excess of 10 watts.For this reason, you must not use a mo-
bile phone or two-way radio inside the car
if no external aerial is fitted or if it has been
incorrectly installed.Warning
Using a mobile phone or two-way
radio inside the car without a sepa-
rate external aerial may also be harm-
ful to your health as a result of ex-
cessive electromagnetic fields! Škoda cars are designed to reflect the lat-
est state of safety engineering. To ensure
that this is always the case, do not make
any modifications to your car without proper
consideration. If you wish to retrofit acces-
sories to your car, make any technical modi-
fications or have to subsequently replace
parts, please pay attention to the following
points:


Before purchasing accessories and
before making technical modifications, al-
ways ask the advice of a Škoda Dealer.
This is particularly important when purchas-
ing accessories abroad.
Accessories, modifications
and parts

160GENERAL MAINTENANCEWarning

In your own interest we recom-
mend using only Škoda Accesso-
ries
1) and Genuine Škoda Parts ex-
pressly approved for your car. Such
accessories and parts are your guar-
antee of reliability, safety and suit-
ability specifically for your Škoda.

Despite constantly observing the
market, we are not in a position to as-
sess and also not to warrant other
products, even if in exceptional ca-
ses an official approval has been pro-
vided by a technical inspection au-
thority or other public institution.
1)Accessories approved by the manufacturer are
available in all countries in which Škoda is rep-
resented (by an importer).

Approved Škoda Accessories and Ge-
nuine Škoda Parts are available from
Škoda Dealers who can also carry out pro-
fessional fitting.

All the genuine accessories which are
listed in the catalogue, such as tilting roofs,
spoilers, wheels etc. have to have an offi-
cial approval.

Radios, aerials and other electrical ac-
cessories should also only be installed by
authorized workshops.

It is important to observe the specifica-
tions issued by the car manufacturer if any
technical modifications are made to your
car.
This ensures that no damage occurs to your
car, that the safety and roadworthiness of
your car is maintained and that the modifi-
cations are approved. Škoda Dealers are
also able to carry out such work in a pro-
fessional manner or, in exceptional cases,
to provide you with the address of a spe-
cialist workshop.

Any damage resulting from technical
modifications which have not been ap-
proved by us, are not covered by the
warranty.
Technical changesInterference in the electronic components
and their software can lead to operational
faults.
This interference can also impair not di-
rectly affected systems because of the net-
working of the electronic components.
This means that the operating safety of your
vehicle can be considerably jeopardised,
a greater wear of vehicle parts can occur
and finally the vehicle registration docu-
ments expire.
We trust that you will understand that your
Škoda dealer cannot be liable for damage
resulting from unprofessional work.
We therefore recommend that you have all
work carried out with Škoda original parts
at your authorised Škoda dealer.
Warning
Work or modifications on your vehi-
cle, which have been carried out un-
professionally, can cause operational
faults - risk of accident!
