When using central locking or unlocking, all doors are locked or unlocked simulta-
neously. The boot lid is unlocked when opening. It can be opened by pressing the
handle above the licence plate » page 37, Opening/closing .
Warning light in the driver's door
After locking the vehicle, the warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick
succession, afterwards it begins to flash evenly at longer intervals.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system » page 32 is not operating,
the warning light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and
starts to flash evenly at longer intervals after about 30 seconds.
If the indicator light first flashes fast for about 2 seconds, then lights up for about
30 seconds continuously and then flashes slowly, there is a fault in the central
locking system or in the interior monitor and in the towing protection » page 36.
Seek help from a specialist garage.
Convenience operation of windows
The windows can be opened and closed when unlocking and locking the vehi-
cle » page 40 .
WARNING■
Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside, for ex-
ample at road crossings.■
The central locking system also operates if the ignition is switched off. Chil-
dren should never be left unattended in the vehicle since it is difficult to pro-
vide assistance from the outside when the doors are locked. Doors locked
from the inside make it difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emer-
gency – risk to life!

You can use the remote control key to:
› unlock and lock the vehicle,
› unlocking boot lid;
› open and close the windows
» page 40, Window convenience operation .
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the remote control
key. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle. The operating range of
the remote control key is approx. 30 m. But this range of the remote control can
be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The 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 replaced, the
system must be initialised by a specialist garage. Only then can the remote con-
trol key be used again.
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 if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
does react to the remote control at less than 3 metres away » page 29.
■
If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote control
key.

Unlocking
The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been un-
locked. If the vehicle is unlocked using button 1
» Fig. 16 and none of the doors
or the tailgate are opened within the next 30 seconds, the vehicle is automatical-
ly locked again and the safe securing system or anti-theft alarm system is reacti- vated. This function is intended to prevent the car being unlocked unintentional-ly.
In addition, when the car is unlocked, the electrically adjustable seats and exteri-
or mirrors move into the position assigned to this key. The stored setting of driver
seat and exterior mirrors is retrieved.
Locking
The turn signal lights flash once to confirm that the vehicle has been correctly
locked.
If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle has been locked, the
turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.
WARNINGIf the car is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is activated,
there must not be any person in the car as it is then not possible to open ei-
ther a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more diffi-
cult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!
Note
■ Only operate the remote control when the doors and boot lid are closed and the
vehicle is in your line of sight.■
A ŠKODA partner can also activate/deactivate the acoustic signals on vehicles
with an anti-theft alarm system.
Synchronization
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 34.
If the vehicle does not unlock when the remote control is pressed, the key may
not be synchronised. This can occur when the buttons on the remote control key are pressed several times outside the operating range of the equipment or if the
battery in the remote control key has been replaced.
Synchronise the key as follows.
›
Press any button on the remote control key.
›
Unlock the door with the key within 1 minute of pressing the button.
Anti-theft alarm system
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
36
Interior monitor and towing protection
36
The 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.
Note
■ The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years.■Before leaving the vehicle, check that all the doors and windows are closed in
order to ensure that the anti-theft alarm system is fully operational.■
Coding of the radio remote control and the receiver unit precludes the use of
the radio remote control from other vehicles.
35Unlocking and locking
Page 42 of 219
Note■After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows
for approx. 10 minutes. The electrical power windows are only switched off com- pletely once the driver's door or front passenger door are opened.■
When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventilation
system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. If the windows are opened, dust
as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle and in addition the wind noise is
more at certain speeds.

peated opening and closing of the window can cause this mechanism to over-
heat. If this happens, it will not be possible to operate the window for a short
time. You will be able to operate the window again as soon as the overheating
protection has cooled down.
Power window force limiter
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 38.
The electrical power windows are fitted with a force limiter. It reduces the risk of
bruises or injuries when closing the windows.
If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down
by several centimetres.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Manually dimmed rear-view mirror
51
Exterior mirrors
51WARNING■ Make sure that the mirror is not covered by ice, snow, condensation or other
objects.■
Convex (curved outward) or aspheric exterior mirrors increase the field of vi-
sion. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These mir-
rors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the following vehicles.
■
Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
the following vehicles.
Manually dimmed rear-view mirror
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 51.
Basic setting
›
Pull the lever on the lower edge of the mirror away from the windscreen.
Dimming mirror
›
Push the lever on the lower edge of the mirror towards the windscreen.
Exterior mirrorsFig. 34

mirrors
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 51.
The mirror can be adjusted to the desired position by moving the knob in the di-
rection of the arrow » Fig. 34.
The movement of the mirror surface follows the movement of the rotary knob.
The knob can be moved into the following positions.
Adjust the left mirror
Adjust the right mirror
Switch off mirror control
Mirror heater
Folding in the exterior mirrors
The whole exterior mirror can be manually folded towards the side windows. Re- store it to its original position, it should be folded back from the side window until
it audibly clicks into place.
Note
■ The exterior mirror heater only operates when the engine is running.■Do not touch the surface of the exterior mirrors if the exterior mirror heater is
switched on.■
If the power setting function fails at any time, the exterior mirrors can be set by
hand by pressing on the edge of the mirror surface.
■
Contact a specialist garage if there is a fault with the power setting function for
the exterior mirrors.
51Lights and visibility
Page 83 of 219
We recommend that you leave the air outlet vents 3 » Fig. 80 on page 77 in the
open position in all operating modes.
Note
If the air distribution is set only to the windows, the entire volume of air is used
to defrost the windows and thus no air will be fed to the footwell. This can limit
the heating comfort.
Recirculated air mode
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 78.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air from outside the vehicle getting into
the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in a
traffic jam.
Switching on/off
›
Press the
button.
The indicator light in the button lights up.
›
Press the
button again.
The indicator light in the button goes out.
Recirculated air mode is switched off automatically if the air distribution control
C
» Fig. 81 on page 79 is turned to the
position. Recirculated air mode can be
switched on again from this setting by pressing the
button again.
WARNINGNever leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as “stale air”
can cause fatigue of the driver and the passengers, reduce attention levels
and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increa-
ses. Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows start to mist up.
Air conditioning system (manual air conditioning
system)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects: Operation
81
Setting the air conditioning system
82
Recirculated air mode
82
The cooling system operates only if the following conditions are met. The cooling system is switched on » page 81.
The engine is running.
The outside temperature is above approximately +2 °C.
The blower switch is switched on (positions 1-4).
If the desired interior temperature can also be achieved without activating the cooling system, fresh air mode should be selected.
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to en-
sure that the engine cools down.
CAUTION
■ Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow out of
the vents when the cooling system is switched on.■
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially
around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when getting
out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold.
Note
We recommend that you have the air conditioning system cleaned by a specialist
garage once every year.80Operation
