Child safety locks
The child safety lock prevents the rear door from being
opened from the inside.
The rear doors are equipped with a child safety lock. You can
switch the child safety lock on and off using the vehicle key.
Switching child safety lock on
– Use the vehicle key to turn the slit in the rear door to the left in
the direction of the arrow ⇒fig. 21 .
Switching child safety lock off
– Use the vehicle key to turn the slit to the right against the direc- tion of the arrow.
So long as the child safety lock is switched on it is not possible to open the
door from the inside with the door opening lever. In this case the door can
be opened only from the outside.
Central locking system
Description
Unlocking or locking the vehicle causes all doors to be unlocked or locked
at the same time by the central locking system. The boot lid is unlocked
when opening. It can be opened by pressing the hand grip above the
licence plate.
Operation of the central locking system is possible:
•from the outside using the vehicle key ⇒page 43
•using the buttons for the central locking system ⇒page 44
•by using the radio remote control ⇒page 46
Convenience operation of windows
One can open and close the electrically powered windows when unlocking
and locking the vehicle ⇒page 52, “Convenience operation of windows”.
The electric sliding/tilting roof* can only be closed by the central locking
system.
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 dealer which can give you more information.
