WARNING
If you do not pay attention to the warning lights coming on and the corre-
sponding descriptions and warning notes, this may result in severe body inju-
ries or major vehicle damage.
The engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. There is a risk of
injuries, scalding, accidents and fire wh en working in the engine compartment,
e.g. inspecting and replenishing oil and other fluids. It is also essential to
observe all warnings page 162, “Working in the engine compartment”.Note
Arrangement of the indicator lights depends on the model and model version.
Operational faults are shown in the instrument cluster as red symbols (priority 1 -
danger) or yellow symbol s (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 turn
signal lights as well as both indicator lights to flash.
Further information about the turn signal system page 50.
Main beam
The indicator light
comes on when the main beam is selected or also when the
headlight flasher is operated.
Further information about the main beam page 50.
Low beam
The warning light
comes on when low beam is selected page 46.

Unlocking and locking

– Move the operating lever A with the aid of a narrow object e.g. screwdriver up to
the stop in the direction of arrow; the boot lid is then unlocked.
– Open the boot lid from the outside.Remote control*DescriptionYou can use the remote control:
to unlock and lock the vehicle;
unlocking boot lid.
The transmitter with the battery is incorporat ed in the handle of the master key. The
receiver is located in the interior of the ca r. 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 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 the car and which operate in the same frequency range (e.g.
mobile phone, TV transmitter).
The battery must be replaced if the centra l locking or anti-theft alarm system does
not react to the remote control at less th an 3 metres away. We recommend having the
battery replaced by a specialist garage.

Technical Data
The safe securing system along with the anti-theft alarm system* are, however, deac-
tivated during these 30 seconds.
When the vehicle is unlocked or locked, the interior lights in the door contact are auto-
matically switched on or off.
Display of the locking
The turn signal lights flash once to confir
m that the vehicle has been correctly locked.
If the vehicle is locked by pressing the bu tton and some doors or the boot lid are
not closed, the turn signal lights flash only after closing.
WARNING
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 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 vehicle, you must not press the lock button
of the master key before
inserting the key into the ignition lock in order to avoid the vehicle being inadvertently
locked and the anti-theft alarm system* being switched on. Should this happen, press
the unlock button
of the master key.
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 buttons on the radio-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.
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?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated au tomatically when the unlocked vehicle is
locked with the key inserted in the driver's door or with the remote control key. 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
opening 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* page 42;
Angle of the vehicle* page 42;
Decoupling of the attached trailer;

Lights and VisibilityLightsSwitching lights on and off
Fig. 34 Dash panel: Light switch / Switch for daylight driving lightsSwitching on side lights– Turn the light switch fig. 34 into position
.
Switching on the low beam and main beam– Turn the light switch into position
.
– Press the main beam lever forward in order to switch on the main beam page 50, fig. 38 .
Switching off lights (except daylight driving lights)– Turn the light switch into position O.
During the engine start, the low beam lights are switched off automatically.
On vehicles fitted with right-hand steering* the position of the switches differs to
some extent from the position shown on 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 switch on the low beam when it is dark or
if visibility is poor.
Note
An audible warning will sound if you wi thdraw 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 described lights should only be undertaken in accordance
with the legal requirements.
In the event of cool or humid weather conditions, the headlights can be misted up
from inside.
The temperature difference between interior and external area of the headlight
lenses is decisive.
When the driving lights are switched on, the light outlet surfaces are free from
mist after a short period. The headlight lens es can possibly mist up at the border
areas.
It also concerns reverse light and turn signal lights.
This mist has no influence on th e life of the lighting system.
DAY LIGHT*In some countries, the national legal provisions require that the vehicles are equipped
with the function daylight driving lights.

Only the rear fog light of the trailer lights up if the vehicle is fitted with a towing device
from Škoda original accessories and when you are towing a trailer which is fitted with
the rear fog light.
Caution
The rear fog light should only be switched on if visibility is partic ularly poor (conform
with any varying legal provisions) to avoid dazzling vehicles behind your vehicle.
8)If both switch on versions are conflicting, for example if the steering wheel is turned to the left
and the right turn signal light is switched on, the turn signal light has the higher priority.
