Unlocking and lockingKeyTwo keys are provided with the vehicle. Depending on the equipment, your vehicle
can be equipped with keys without radio remote control fig. 27 or with radio
remote control* fig. 28 .
Key ring
A plastic tag fig. 27 is attached to one of the keys wi th the identification of the key.
This identification ca n be used to order replacement keys from specialist garages. Carefully
store the key ring on which there is the number, because a replacement key
can only be ordered with this number in case the key is lost or damaged. You should
also therefore hand over this key ring to the purchaser when selling the vehicle.
WARNING

Always withdraw the key wh enever you leave the vehicle - even if it is only
for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the vehicle.
The children might otherwise start the en gine or operate electrical equipment
(e.g. power windows) - risk of injury!

Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle has
come to a stop. The steering lock might otherwise engage unintentionally - risk
of accident!Caution

Each key contains electronic components; therefore protect them against mois-
ture and severe shocks.

Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean as impurities (textile fibres, dust etc.)
have a negative effect on the proper operation of the locking cylinder and the ignition
lock.Note
Please approach a specialist garage if you lose a key since he can obtain a new one for
you.

Changing the battery of the radio remote controlEach remote control key contains a ba ttery which is housed in the cover fig. 29
of the transmitter housing. We recommend ha ving the battery of the key replaced by
a specialist garage. You should, however, proc eed as follows if you wish to replace the
battery yourself:
– Fold open the key.
– Use a thin screwdriver to carefully lever off the front part of the key fig. 29
from the transmitter housing .
– Take off the cover of the transmitter housing fig. 30 in direction of arrow.
– Take the used battery out of the housing cover. – Insert the new battery. Ensure that the “+” symbol on the battery is facing down-
wards. The correct polarity is also show n on the cover of the transmitter housing.
– Insert cover with battery in place at the rear of the transmitter housing and press
both parts together.
– Insert the transmitter housing into the front part of the key so that the two parts lock into each other.
For the sake of the environment
Dispose of a used battery in accord ance with environmental regulations.
Note

The replacement battery must have the same specification as the original battery.

If it is still not be possible to unlock or lock the vehicle with the remote control even
after replacing the battery this means th at the system has to be synchronised
 page 40.
Electronic immobiliserThe electronic immobiliser prevents the vehicle being operated by an
unauthorised person.An electronic chip is integrated in the head of the key. The immobiliser is deactivated
with the aid of this chip when the key is inserted in the ignition lock. The electronic
immobiliser is automatically activated when you withdraw the ignition key from the
lock.
Note
It is only possible to start the engine of your car with a Genuine Škoda key with the
matching code page 27.LockingValid for vehicles without a central locking system:

doors and the boot lid are locked. Children should never be left unattended in
the vehicle since it is difficult to prov ide assistance from the outside when the

receiver is located in the interior of the car. The operating range of the remote control
key is approx. 10 m. But this range can be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The master key has a fold-open key bit which 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 receiver unit has been repaired or a new unit installed,
it is then necessary for a specialist garage to adapt the system. Only after this is it
possible to again use the remote control.
Note

The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched on.

The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interference
from transmitters close to th e 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.

Unlocking and locking
40WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is acti-
vated, there must not be any person in the vehicle as it is then not possible to
open either a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more
difficult for rescuers to get into th e vehicle in an emergency - hazard!
Note


you have visual contact with the vehicle.

Once in the car, you must not press the lock button
 of the radio remote control
before inserting the key into the ignition lock in order to avoid the car being inadvert-
ently locked and the alarm system* being switched on. Should this happen, press the
unlock button
 of the radio remote control.
Synchronisation of the remote controlIf the vehicle cannot be unlocked by actuatin g the remote control system then it is
possible that the code in the key and the co ntrol unit in the vehicle are no longer
synchronised. This can occur when the butt ons on the radio-operated key are actu-
ated a number of times outside of the operative range of the equipment or the battery
on the remote control was replaced.
This means it is necessary to synchronise the code as follows:
Press any button on the remote control.

pressing of the button means that the d oor will unlock with the key within 1
minute.
Anti-theft alarm system*DescriptionThe anti-theft alarm system increases the leve l 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. Optical and acoustic signals alert if an alarm
has been triggered (the turn signal lights
flash and the signal horn honks).
How is the alarm system activated?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated au tomatically when the vehicle is locked with
the key on the driver's door or by using th e radio remote control. It is activated 30
seconds after locking the door.
How is the alarm system deactivated?
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated if the vehicle is unlocked by only using the
radio remote control. The anti-theft alarm system is reactivated if the vehicle is not
opened within 30 seconds after transmitting the radio signal.
Once you unlock the vehicle by inserting the ke y into the driver door you then have to
insert the key into the ignition lock and sw itch the ignition on within 15 seconds after
unlocking the door in order to deactivate the anti-theft alarm system. The alarm will
be triggered if you do not switch on the ignition within 15 seconds.
When is the alarm triggered?
The following security areas of the locked vehicle are monitored:

Bonnet,

Boot lid,

Doors,

Ignition lock,

Vehicle interior
