installed, it is then necessary for an auth
orised Škoda Service Partner to initialise
the system. Only after this is it poss ible 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 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 an authorised Škoda Service Partner, if
the central locking or anti-theft alarm syst em does react to the remote control at
less than 3 metres away.

Anti-theft alarm system*DescriptionThe 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.
How is the alarm system activated?

with the key on the closed dr iver's door or by using the radio remote control. It is
activated 30 seconds after locking the door.
How is the alarm system deactivated?

the radio remote control. The vehicle is automatically locked again if the vehicle is
not opened within 30 seconds after re activating the anti-theft alarm system.
Once you unlock the vehicle by inserting th e key into the driver door you then have
to insert the key into the ignition lock and switch the ignition on within 15 seconds
after opening the door in order to deactivate the anti-theft alarm system. The alarm

Window convenience operation*You can open and close the window with power windows as follows when
unlocking and locking the vehicle.Opening a window– Hold the key in the locking cylinder of the driver's door in the unlock position or
press the unlock button of the radio remote control until all the windows are
opened.Closing a window– Hold the key in the locking cylinder of the driver's door in the lock position or press the lock button of the radio remo te control until all the windows are
closed.
You can interrupt the opening or closing operation of the windows immediately by
releasing the key or the lock button.
WARNING
The system is fitted with a force limiter page 38. If there is an obstacle, the
closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several centimetres.
You should then take particular care when closing the windows! You may other-
wise suffer severe injuries as a result of getting an arm, for example, jammed in
the window!
Note
On vehicles fitted with anti-theft alarm system the convenience window opening is
possible by means of the key in the locking cylinder only 45 seconds after deacti-
vating the warning system or after ac tivating the anti-theft alarm system.Operational faultsElectrically operated power windows do not operate
If the battery of the car has been disconnected and then reconnected, the electri-
cally operated power windows do not oper ate. The system must be activated.
Proceed as follows in order to re-establish the function:•
Switch on the ignition.
•
Press the relevant switch top and hold it pressed as long as necessary until the
window is closed.
•
Release the switch.
•
Press once again the relevant switch top and hold it pressed for approx. 3
seconds.
Operation in winter
Ice accumulating on the surface of the wi ndows during the winter may result in a
greater resistance when closing the windows and the window may stop and go
down several centimetres
It is necessary to put the force limiter out of operation in order to close the window
page 38, “Force limiter of the power windows”.
WARNING
The system is fitted with a force limiter page 38. If there is an obstacle, the
closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several centimetres.
You should then take particular care when closing the windows! You may other-
wise suffer severe injuries as a result of getting an arm, for example, jammed in
the window!

Caution
Each time the vehicle is parked, first of all apply the handbrake and then additionally
engage the 1st gear.Rear parking aid*The parking aid provides a warnin g of obstacles behind the vehicle.The audible parking aid determines the distance from the rear bumper to an
obstacle behind the car with the aid of ultrasound sensors. These ultrasound
sensors are integrated in the rear bumper.
Range of sensors
The clearance warning begins at a distance of about 160 cm from the obstacle (area
fig. 87 ). The interval between the warning signals becomes shorter as the
clearance is reduced.
A continuous tone sounds from a distance of approx. 30 cm (area ) - danger area.
Do not reverse any further after this signal sounds! If the vehicle is equipped with
a factory-fitted towing device*, the border of the danger area - continuous tone -
extends 5 cm further behind the vehicle. The vehicle can be extended through an
installed detachable towing device.
On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted radio*, the distance to the obstruction is
shown graphically in the display. On vehicl es with a factory-fitted towing device, the
sensors are deactivated when towing a trailer. The driver is informed about this by
a graphic display (vehicle towing a trailer) in the radio* display. The factory-fitted
radio* can be set so that the play function volume decreases when activating the
parking aid, see Owner's Manual radio*. This improves the audibility of the parking
aid. Activating
The parking aid is activated automatically when
reverse gear is engaged and the
ignition is turned on. This is confirmed by a brief acknowledgement signal.
Deactivating
The parking aid is deactivated by taking the car out of reverse gear.
WARNING
•
The parking aid is not a substitute for the driver paying proper attention and
it is always the driver's responsibility to take care when parking the vehicle or
carrying out similar manoeuvres.
•
You should therefore satisfy yourself, before reversing, that there is no small
obstacle, such as a rock, thin post, traile r drawbar etc., behind your vehicle. Such
obstacles might not be within the range detected by the sensors.
•
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the signal of the pa rking aid. Thus, such objects or people
may not be recognised by the sensors of the parking aid.Note
•
The parking aid does not operate if you are towing a trailer (applies to models
which feature a factory-fitted towing device*).
•
If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seconds after switching the ignition on
and engaging reverse gear, and there is no obstacle close to your vehicle, this indi-
cates a system fault. Have the fault rectified by a specialist workshop.
•
The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to
operate properly.
Cruise control system (CCS)*IntroductionThe cruise control system (CCS) maintains a constant speed, above approx. 30 km/h
(20 mph), once it has been set, without yo u having to depress the accelerator pedal.
This is only possible to the extent pe rmitted by the power output and braking
power of the engine. The cruise control syst em makes it possible - particularly on
long journeys - for you to rest your “accelerator foot”.

CommunicationMobile 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 instal led external aerial and a maximum transmission power
of up to 10 Watts.
It is essential that you inform a specialist garage about the possibilities to assemble
and operate mobile phones and two-way ra dio sets which have a power output of
more than 10 W. The garage will inform you which technical possibilities exist for
retrofitting mobile phones.
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 in correctly installed,
•
transmission power greater than 10 watts.
WARNING
•
If a mobile phone or a two-way radio system is operated in the vehicle
without using a special external aerial or an external aerial which has been
incorrectly installed, this can increase the strength of the electromagnetic field
in the interior of the vehicle.
•
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 accident.
•
Never leave a mobile phone on a seat, on the dash panel or in another area,
from which it can be thrown during a su dden braking manoeuvre, an accident or
a collision. In this case, the occup ants of the vehicle might be injured.Note
Observe the country-specific regulations for the use of mobile phones in vehicles.s2lk.2.book Page 80 Monday, April 18, 2011 7:41 AM
