After the car is locked with the deactivated safe securing system, the indi-
cator light flashes only after 30 seconds.
Indicator light in the driver's door on vehicles with anti-theft alarm
system
After locking the vehicle the indicator light flashes for 2 seconds fast, then
more slowly.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system
⇒page 43 is not
operating, the indicator light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds
fast, goes out and starts to flash slowly after about 30 seconds.
If the indicator light first of all flashes fast for about 2 seconds, afterwards
lights up for about 30 seconds and then flashes slowly, there is a fault in
the system of the central locking or the interior monitor* ⇒page 50.
Contact a specialist garage to obtain assistance.
Convenience operation of windows
One can open and close the electrically powered windows when unlocking
and locking the vehicle ⇒page 53, “Window convenience operation”.
Opening a single door*
This function allows one to just unlock the driver's door. The other doors
remain locked and are only unlocked when the command is repeated. The
single door opening function can be first activated by recoding the control
unit of the central locking system. This work is undertaken by a Škoda
Service Partner can give you more information.
Automatic locking*
All the doors and the tailgate are locked automatically once the car
reaches a speed of about 15 km/h.
If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked
again. In addition, it is possible for the driver to unlock the car by pressing
the central locking button
or by pulling the door opening lever. If you wish, your Škoda Service Partner can convert the central locking
system of your car to the automatic locking mode.
WARNING
•Locking the doors prevents involuntary opening in an excep-
tional situation (an accident). Locked doors prevent unwanted
entry into the vehicle from outside, for example at road crossings.
Locked doors do, however, make it more difficult for rescuers to
get into the vehicle in an emergency - danger to life!
Note
•In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the
locked doors are automatically unlocked in order to enable rescuers to
gain access to the vehicle.
•Only the front doors can be unlocked and locked using the key if the
central locking system fails. You can operate the rear door manually.
−Emergency locking of the door ⇒page 46.
Safe securing
The central locking system is equipped with a safe securing system.
Locking the vehicle from the outside causes the door locks to be automat-
ically blocked. The indicator light in the driver's door flashes. It is not
possible to open the doors with the door handle either from the inside or
from the outside. This acts as an effective deterrent for attempts to break
into your vehicle.
You can deactivate the safe securing system. This is done by locking the
vehicle with the key or radio-operated key twice within 2 seconds.
The safe securing system is again activated the next time the vehicle is
unlocked and locked again.

operated key are actuated 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 door will unlock with the key
within 1 minute.
