symbols shown in the following functional description are to be found as indicator
lights in the instrument cluster.
•
Operational faults are shown in the instrument cluster as red symbols (priority 1
- danger) or yellow symbols (priority 2 - warning).
Turn signal system
Either the left
or right
indicator light flashes depending on the position of the
turn signal lever.
The indicator light flashes at twice its normal rate if a turn signal light fails.
Switching off the hazard warning light system is switched on will cause all of the

Technical Data
If a lost key is replaced or if the receiver unit has been repaired or a new unit
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.
•
If the driver door is opened, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote
control.
Unlocking and locking the vehicleUnlocking the vehicle
– Press the button fig. 30 for about 1 second.Locking the vehicle
– Press button for about 1 second.Deactivating safe securing system– Press button twice in 2 seconds. Further information page 31.
Boot lid remote release
– Press button for about 2 second. Further information page 33.Folding out of the key–Press button .Folding up of the key– Press button and collapse the key bit in the housing.
The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been
unlocked. The vehicle will lock again automatically if you unlock the vehicle using
button but do not open a door or the b oot lid within the next 30 seconds. This
function is intended to prevent th e car being unlocked unintentionally.
Display of the locking
The turn signal lights flash once to co nfirm that the vehicle has been correctly
locked.
If the vehicle is locked by pressing the button and some doors or the boot lid are
not closed, the turn signal li ghts flash only after closing.
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outsid e and the safe securing system is acti-
vated, there must not be any person in th e 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 the vehicle in an emergency - hazard!
Note
•
Operate the radio remote control only when the doors and boot lid are closed
and 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 inad-
vertently 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 actuating the remote control system then it is
possible that the code in the key and the control unit in the vehicle are no longer

Low beam comes on only if the ignition is switched on. After switching off the igni-
tion, the low beam is switched off automati cally and only the side lights come on.
On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in fig. 34 . The symbols which mark the switch positions are
identical, however.
WARNING
Never drive with side lights on - risk of accident! The side lights are not bright
enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other oncoming traffic. In this case, always swit
ch on the low beam when it is dark or
if visibility is poor.
Note
•
An audible warning will sound if you withdraw the ignition key and open the
driver's door when the vehicle lights are still on.
•
The acoustic warning signal is switched off over the door contact when the
driver's door is closed (ignition off). The vehicle can be parked with the side lights
on.
•
If the car is parked for a lengthy period, we recommend switching off all lights,
or leaving only the parking lights switched on.
•
The switching on of the desc ribed lights should only be undertaken in accord-
ance with the legal requirements.
•
If a fault occurs in the light switch, the low beam comes on automatically
•
In the event of cool or humid weather co nditions, the headlights can be misted
up from inside.
−The temperature difference between interior and external area of the head-
light lenses is decisive.
− When the driving lights are switched on, the light outlet surfaces are free
from mist after a short period. The headlight lenses can possibly mist up at the
border areas.
− It also concerns reverse light and turn signal lights.
− This mist has no influence on the life of the lighting system.

Technical Data
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”.
