Boot lidOpen the boot lid by pressing the ha
nd grip above the licence plate after
unlocking the vehicle using the key or the radio remote control. On vehi-cles with central locking*, the boot
lid is automatically unlocked and
locked with the other locks. Opening the boot lid – Press on the handle
⇒
fig. 39
and at the same time raise the boot lid.
Closing the boot lid – Pull the boot lid down and close it with a slight swing
⇒
.
A handle which makes the clos
ing easier is located on
the inner paneling of the
boot lid.
WARNING
•
Ensure that the lock is properly enga
ged after closing the boot lid. Other-
wise, the boot lid might open suddenly wh
en driving even if the boot lid lock
is closed - risk of accident!•
Never drive with the boot lid fully opened or slightly ajar otherwise
exhaust gases may get into the interior of the vehicle - risk of poisoning!
•
Do not press on the rear window when
closing the boot li
d, it could crack
- risk of injury!Remote control*DescriptionThe vehicle can be unlocked and locked using the radio remote control. The transmitter with the battery is housed
in the handle of the master key. The
receiver is located in the interior of th
e car. The operating range of the remote
control is approx. 10 m. But this range of
the remote control can be reduced if the
batteries are weak. The master key has a fold-open key bit whic
h can be used for unlocking and locking
the car manually and also for starting the engine. If a lost key is replaced or if the receiv
er unit has been repaired or a new unit
installed, it is then necessary for a specia
list garage to adapt the system. Only after
this is it possible to again use the remote control.
Note
•
The remote control is automatically deac
tivated when the ignition is switched
on.•
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, ideally by a specialist garage, if the central locking
or anti-theft alarm system does react to
the remote control at less than 3 metres
away.

Mobile phones and two-way radio systemsThe installation of a mobile phone and two-way radio system in a vehicle should be carried out by a specialist garage. Škoda Auto permits the operation of mobile phones and two-way radio systems with a professionally installed external aerial and a maximum transmission power of up to 10 watts. It is essential that you inform a specialist garage about the possibilites to assemble and operate mobile phones and two-way radio sets which have a power output of more than 10 W. They will inform you which technical possibilities exist for retrofit- ting mobile telephones and radio transmitters. Operation of mobile phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with func- tioning of the electronic systems of your vehicle. The reasons for this may be:•
no external aerial,
•
external aerial incorrectly installed,
•
transmission power gr
eater than 10 watts.
You should therefore
not operate a mobile phone or two-way radio system
inside the vehicle
without the use of an external aerial, or with an external aerial
which has been incorrectly installed. You should also be aware of
the fact that only an
external
aerial makes it possible
to achieve the optimal range of such equipment.
WARNING
•
If a mobile phone or two-way radio sy
stem is operated inside the vehicle
without using an external aerial, or with an external aerial which has been incorrectly installed, the result can
be excessive electromagnetic fields
which may cause harm to your health.•
Please concentrate fully at all times on your driving.
•
You must not install two-way radio systems, mobile phones or mounts
on the covers of the airbags or within the immediate deployment range of airbags. This might result in injuries to the occupants in the event of an acci- dent.
Note
Please also refer to the operating instru
ctions of the mobile phones and two-way
radio systems.

Technical Data
– Only for “quick-charging”: Disconnect
both battery cables (first of all
“negative”, then “positive”).
– Carefully attach the terminal clam
ps of the charger to the battery
terminals (red = “positive”, black = “negative”).
– You can now plug the mains cable of the charger into the power socket
and switch on the charger.
– When charging is completed: switch the charger off and unplug the
mains cable from the power socket.
– Only then should you disconnect the terminal clamps of the charger. – Reconnect the cables to the battery
(first of all “positive”, then “nega-
tive”).
It is not normally necessary
to disconnect the cables of the battery if you recharge
the battery using low ampera
ges (as for example from a
mini-charger
). Please also
refer to the instructions from the charger manufacturer. A charging current of 0.1 of the total batter
y capacity (or lower) is that which should
be used until full charging is achieved. It is, however, necessary to disconnect both
cables before charging the battery with
high amperages, so-called “
quick-charging
”.
“Quick-charging” a battery is
dangerous
⇒
in “Working on the battery” on
page 168. It requires a special charger and appropriate knowledge. We therefore recommend that you have your battery qu
ick-charged only by your specialist
garage. A discharged battery may already
freeze
at temperatures just below 0°C
⇒
. We
recommend that you no longer use a ba
ttery which has thawed out because the
casing of the battery may be cracked through the formation of ice and this would allow battery electrolyte to flow out. The vent plugs of the battery should not be opened for charging.
WARNING
Never charge a frozen or thawed battery - risk of explosion and caustic burns. Replace a frozen battery.Disconnecting and reconnecting the batteryOn disconnecting and reconnecting the battery the following functions are initially deactivated or are no longer able to operate fault-free. We recommend having the vehicle checked by
a specialist garage to ensure full
functionality of all electrical systems.Replacing the batteryYou should only replace a battery with a
new battery of the same capacity, voltage
(12 V), amperage and of the same size. Specialist garages have a range of suitable batteries available. We recommend that you only have an old ba
ttery disposed of by a specialist garage
since it does require special disposal.
For the sake of the environment
Batteries contain pois
onous substances such as sulphu
ric acid and lead. They must
be disposed of in accordance with loca
l environmental protection regulations and
on no account as domestic waste.Operation

Accessories, changes and replacement of partsAccessories and replacement partsŠkoda vehicles have been bu
ilt according to the latest discoveries in safety engi-
neering. Thus one should no
t change the condition in which the vehicle was deliv-
ered from the manufacturer without some thought. The following guidelines should be observed when a vehicle is to be retrofitted with accessories, have technical ch
anges made to it or a par t has to be replaced at some
time in the future.•
Advise should always be obtained from a specialist garage
before
buying any
accessories and
before
making any technical changes
⇒
.
•
This is particularly the case when acce
ssories are bought in a foreign country.
•
Škoda Genuine Accessories which have b
een released for use and Skoda orig-
inal parts can be bought from specialist
garages that professionally undertake the
assembly of parts which were purchased there.•
All Škoda original accessories which are listed in the catalogue of original acces-
sories such as sliding/tilting roofs, sp
oilers, wheel rims et
c. are homologized.
•
Radios, aerials and other electrical acce
ssories should only be installed by a
specialist garage.•
The guidelines issued by Škoda Auto must be observed when making technical
changes.•
This is to ensure that no technical damage
occurs to the vehicle, that travelling
and operating safety are maintained and that the chnages are permissible. The specialist garages also undertake this work professionally or refer it to another specialist garage in special cases. Any damage which is done caused by technical changes made without consulting a Skoda dealer is
excluded from the guarantee.
WARNING
•
We advise you, in your own interest, to only use Škoda Genuine Accesso-
ries and Škoda original parts which have
been expressly approved for use on
your Škoda. Reliability, safety and su
itabiliity have been established for
these Škoda original parts.•
We cannot guarantee suitability of installation into your vehicle of other
products despite keeping a constant ey
e on market developments (also not
in the case where there is an attestation or permission can be produced).Technical changesInterference on the electronic components and their software can lead to opera-tional faults. This interference can also impair not directly affected systems because of the networking of the electronic co
mponents. This means that the operating
safety of your vehicle can
be considerably jeopardized,
a greater wear of vehicle
parts can occur and finally the vehi
cle registration documents expire.
We trust that you will understand that
Škoda Auto cannot be liable for damage
resulting from unprofessional work. We therefore recommend that you have all work carried out with Škoda original parts at specialist garages.
WARNING
Work or modifications on your vehicle, which have been carried out unpro-fessionally, can cause operational faults - risk of accident!Vehicles of the group N1The vehicle of the group N1 is a box car wh
ich is designed and manufactured for the
transportation of goods.
