brake fluid level in the reservoir ⇒page 227, “Brake fluid”. If the
brake fluid level has dropped below the MIN marking, do not drive
any further - risk of accident! Contact a Škoda dealer to obtain
professional assistance.
•Pay attention to the following instructions ⇒page 219,
“Working in the engine compartment” before checking the brake
fluid level and opening the bonnet.
•If the brake fluid is at the correct level, the ABS control function
has failed. The rear wheels may then block very rapidly when
braking. In certain circumstances, this can result in the rear end of
the car breaking away - risk of skidding! Drive carefully to the
nearest specialist garage and have the fault rectified.
Electronic immobiliser
Data is compared between the ignition key and the control unit when
switching on the ignition. The indicator light will light up for a few
seconds when ignition key authorisation is confirmed.
The warning light will start flashing continuously if a non-authorised igni-
tion key (for example the wrong ignition key) has been used. The engine
cannot be started ⇒page 40.
It is only possible to start the engine of your car with a Genuine Škoda key
with the matching code .
Brake system
The warning light flashes or comes on if the brake fluid level is too low,
if there is a fault in the ABS or if the handbrake is applied. If the warning light
flashes (handbrake is not applied),
stop and check
the brake fluid level ⇒.
The following text will be displayed in the information display*:
STOP BRAKE FLUID OWNER'S MANUAL
If there is a fault in the ABS which also influences the function of the
normal brake system (e.g. distribution of brake pressure), the ABS
warning light
comes on together with the brake system warning light . Be aware that not only the ABS but also another part of th brake
system is defective ⇒.
3 peeps sound as an additional warning signal.
One should get used to high pedal forces, long braking distances and long
free play of the brake pedal when driving to the next specialist garage.
The following text will be displayed in the information display*: STOP BRAKE FAULT OWNER'S MANUAL
For further information on the brake system ⇒page 188, “Brakes”.
Handbrake applied
The warning light
also comes on if the handbrake is applied. An audible
warning is also given if you drive the vehicle for at least 3 seconds at a
speed of more than 5 km/h.
The following text will be displayed in the information display*:
HANDBRAKE ON
WARNING
•Pay attention to the following instructions ⇒page 219,
“Working in the engine compartment” before checking the brake
fluid level and opening the bonnet.
•If the brake system warning light does not go out a few
seconds after switching on the igni tion or comes on when driving,

Unlocking and locking
Key– Press the unlock button ⇒fig. 19 in order to open and close
the folding key.
Your car is supplied with two master keys ⇒fig. 18 as well as a service
key and a key ring . The master keys fit in all vehicle locks. The
service key can be used only to open the doors and to start the engine.
The service key is intended, for example, to be handed over with your car
when it goes for a service, or when you arrive at the hotel.
Key ring
The key ring only has the key number on it which is essential for producing
other keys. This number can be used to order replacement keys from the
Škoda Service Partners.
The key ring with the number should be separately and securely kept in
safe keeping since keys can only be replaced if they are lost or damaged
by giving this number. You should also therefore give this key ring to the
purchaser when selling the vehicle.
WARNING
•Always withdraw the key whenever you leave the vehicle - even
if it is only for a short time. This is particularly important if children
are left in the vehicle. The children might otherwise start the engine
or operate electrical equipment (e.g. power windows) - risk of
injury!
•Do not withdraw the ignition key fr om the ignition lock until the
vehicle has come to a stop. The steering lock might otherwise
engage unintentionally - risk of accident!

Caution
•Each key contains electronic components; therefore protect them
against moisture and severe shocks.
•Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean as impurities (textile
fibres, dust etc.) have a negative effect on proper operation of the keys
and the ignition lock.
Note
Please approach a Škoda Service Partner if you lose a key since he can
obtain a new one for you.
Changing the key batteryEach master key contains a battery which is housed in the cover of the transmitter housing ⇒ fig. 20. We recommend that you
have the batteries of the key replaced by a Škoda Service
Partner. You should, however, proceed as follows if you wish to
replace the battery yourself:
– Fold open the key.
– Use a screwdriver to carefully lever off the front part of the key ⇒ fig. 20 from the transmitter housing .
– Take off the cover of the transmitter housing ⇒fig. 21 in direc-
tion of arrow.
– Take the used battery out of the housing cover.
– Insert the new battery. Ensure that the “+” symbol on the battery is facing downwards. The correct polarity is also
shown on the cover of the transmitter housing.

– Insert cover with battery in place at the rear of the transmitter housing and press both parts together.
– Insert the transmitter housing into the front part of the key so that the two parts lock into each other.
For the sake of the environment
Dispose of an old battery in accordance with environmental regulations.
Note
•The replacement battery must have the same specification as the orig-
inal battery.
•If it is still not be possible to unlock or lock the vehicle with the remote
control even after replacing the battery this means that the system has to
be synchronised ⇒page 47.
Electronic immobiliser
The electronic immobiliser prevents the vehicle being
operated by an unauthorised person.
An electronic chip is integrated in the head of the key. The immobiliser is
deactivated with the aid of this chip when the key is inserted in the ignition
lock. The electronic immobiliser is automatically activated when you with-
draw the ignition key from the lock.
Note
It is only possible to start the engine of your car with a Genuine Škoda key
with the matching code ⇒page 36.
Child safety lock
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. 22 .
Switching child safety lock off
– Use the vehicle key to turn the slit to the right against the direc- tion of the arrow.

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 42
•using the buttons for the central locking system ⇒page 43
•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 51, “Window convenience operation”. 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
Service Partner can give you more information. 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 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 exceptional
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
•After unlocking the vehicle see, if the securing knobs are located on all
doors at the bottom.
•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.
•Should the central locking system not operate properly, you can lock
and unlock the front doors and the boot lid with the key. Emergency

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 48.
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.
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!
Note
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.
Unlocking the vehicle using the key
– Turn the key in the lock of the driver's door to the left into the opening position ⇒fig. 23 .
– Pull on the door handle and open the door.
•All doors are unlocked (the securing knobs must move upwards).
•The boot lid is then unlocked.
•The switched on interior lights come on over the door contact.

rescuers to gain access to the vehicle.
WARNING
The central locking system also operates if the ignition is switched
off. All the doors and the boot lid are locked. Children should never
be left unattended in the vehicle since it is difficult to provide
assistance from the outside when the doors are locked. Locked
doors make it difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an
emergency - hazard!
