Unlocking and locking

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. It is not possible to pull out the locking buttons. The indi-
cator 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.
•Deactivating the safe securing system means that the warning light
next to the securing knob in the driver's door will not flash. This is not the
case, however, for an activated anti-theft alarm system since the indicator
light is showing that the system is active ⇒page 47.
•The safe securing system is again activated the next time the vehicle
is unlocked and locked again.
The doors can be opened from the inside if the vehicle is locked and the
safe securing system is deactivated:
•The door is unlocked by actuating the door-opening lever.
•The door opens upon actuating the door-opening lever again.
Automatic locking*
All the doors and the boot lid 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If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked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 Dealer can convert the central locking system of
your car to the automatic locking mode.
Note
•After unlocking the vehicle see, if the securing knobs are located on all
doors at the bottom.
•The vehicle is unlocked automatically if an airbag is deployed.
•Should the central locking system not operate properly, you can lock
and unlock the front doors and the boot lid with the key. Emergency
unlocking of fuel filler flap ⇒page 201.
•It is not possible for you to activate the safe securing system and the
anti-theft alarm system* if the central locking system fails.
•The anti-theft alarm system is also armed when the car is closed
without activating the safe securing system. In this case, always switch off
the interior monitoring sensor* ⇒page 49 first of all to avoid an alarm
being triggered unintentionally.
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing
system is activated, there must not be any person and animals 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!

Remote control
Description
You can use the remote control:
•to unlock and lock the car
•unlocking boot lid
•Opening and closing window
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the master key.
The receiver is located in the interior of the car. The operating range of the
remote control is 10 metres but this range can be reduced if the batteries
are waek.
The master 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 a new
unit installed, it is then necessary for a Škoda Dealer to initialise 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).

This function is intended to prevent the vehicle being unlocked uninten-
tionally.
The safe securing system along with the anti-theft alarm system* are,
however, deactivated during these 30 seconds.
If the
single door opening function has been activated on your car, you
unlock only the driver door by pressing button once and the complete
vehicle by pressing the button twice ⇒page 43.
In addition, when the car is unlocked, the power seats and exterior
mirrors* move into the position assigned to this key. The stored setting of
driver seat and exterior mirrors is retrieved automatically.
When the vehicle is unlocked or locked, the interior lights in the door
contact are automatically switched on or off.
The turn signal lights flash once to confirm that the vehicle has been
correctly locked.
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 master key
before inserting the key into the ignition lock in order to avoid the car being
inadvertently locked and, in addition, the anti-theft alarm system being switched on. Should this happen, press the unlock button
 of the master
key.
Synchronisation of the vehicle key code
If 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 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 open with the key within
1 minute.
Anti-theft alarm system
Description
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.
How is the alarm system switched on?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically when the vehicle is
locked with the key on the closed driver's door or by using the remote
control. It is activated 30 seconds after closing the door.
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing
system is activated, 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!

ment, once again press the switch in the appropriate direction and
continue with the adjustment of the seat to the end.
Memory for the seat
Memory buttons
Memory for the seat offers the possibility to store the individual seat and
external mirror position. An individual position can be allocated to each of
the three memory buttons ⇒fig. 53 , that is three in total. On pressing
the appropriate memory button the seat and external mirror will auto-
matically move into the position allocated to this button.

If you press switch (raised switch), the memory buttons no longer
operate. You can now adjust the seat electrically without using the
memory buttons . After pressing switch once again, the seat can be
reset with the memory buttons. If you had already started an operation to
retrieve the settings, this operation is not continued.
If the car is used only by one driver, it is not necessary to store particular
settings in this case, we recommend that you press the button (raised
button).
WARNING
•Only adjust the driver seat when the vehicle is stationary - risk
of injury!
•Caution when adjusting the seat! You may suffer injuries or
bruises as a result of adjusting the seat without paying proper
attention.
•In view of the fact that the seats can also be adjusted when the
ignition is switched off (even when ignition key withdrawn), you
should never leave children unattended in the car.
•The backrests must not be angled too far back when driving
otherwise this will affect proper operation of the seat belts and of
the airbag system - risk of injury!

Heating and air conditioning system
108
An acoustic signal for depressed buttons
Simultaneous pressing of buttons and can be used to de-acti-
vate or activate this function.
A higher tone is heard when switching on this function, when increasing
the blower speed or when increasing the temperature.
A lower tone is heard when switching off this function, when decreasing
the blower speed or when decreasing the temperature.
Aeration of the vehicle when ignition is switched off*
On models fitted with power sliding/tilting roof with sollar cells, the fresh
air blower is automatically switched over to “solar mode ” if the sun ray's
are sufficient after switching off the ignition. The solar cells on the
sliding/tilting roof deliver power for the fresh air blower. This supplies the
interior of the car with fresh air.
For an optimum ventilation, the air outlet vents 3 and 4 must be opened
⇒ page 112.
The ventilation functions only when the sliding/tilting roof is closed.Note
•If the air conditioning system has not been switched on for a lengthy
period, odours may be produced at the evaporator because of deposits.
Switch the air conditioning system on at least once a month for approxi-
mately 5 minutes at the highest blower stage - also during the cold season
of the year - in order to remove such odours. Also open a window for a
short time.
•We recommend that you do not smoke in the vehicle when the recir-
culating air mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evap-
orator from the interior of the vehicle forms deposits in the evaporator of
the air conditioning system. This produces a permanent odour when the
air conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through
considerable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
•Using the air conditioning economically ⇒page 106.
•Operational problems ⇒page 107.
Overview of the controls
Fig. 102 Climatronic: Controls
WARNING
•For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all
the windows are free of ice, snow and misting. Please familiarize
yourself about how to correctly operate the heating and ventilation
systems, how to demist and defrost the windows, as well as with
the cooling mode.
•You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer
period of time. “Stale air” may result in fatigue in the driver and
passengers, reduce attention levels and also cause the windows to
mist up. The risk of having an accident increases. Switch recircu-
lated air mode off as soon as the windows begin misting up.
