Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the igni-
tion is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the calcula-
tion of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours after
switching off the ignition. The memory will be is automatically erased, on the other
hand, if the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total distance driven memory gathers data from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 99 hours and 59 minutes driving or 9.999 kilometres driven.
The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calculation
starts from anew.
The total-trip memory will not, contrary to the single-trip memory, be deleted after
a period of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory is eras ed if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.
Using the system
The rocker switch and the button are located in the grip of the
window wiper lever ⇒fig. 8 . Selecting the memory
– Repeated short-term pressing of th
e button allows one to select
the individual memories.
Selecting the functions
– Press the rocker switch up or do wn. This will cause the individual
functions of the multi-functional indicator to appear in the display
one after the other.
Setting function to zero
– Select the memory you want.
– Press button for more than 1 second.
The following readouts of the selected memory will be set to zero by button :
•average fuel consumption,
•distance driven,
•average speed,
•Driving time.
You can only operate the multi-functional indicator when the ignition is switched
on. After the ignition is switched on, the fu nction displayed is the one which you last
selected before switching off the ignition.
The outside temperature indicator will appear with a snowflake symbol and a
warning signal sounds* when the outside temperature lies between +5°C and -5°C.
The symbol warns the driver of the possible danger of ice on the road. After the
rocker switch is pressed, the function displays the one which you last selected
before switching off the ignition.
Outside temperature

Unlocking and locking
Key
– Press the unlock button ⇒fig. 18 in order to open and close the
folding key.
Your car is supplied with two master keys ⇒fig. 17 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 us ed to order replacement keys from the Škoda Service
Par tners.
The key ring with the number should be separately and securely kept in safe
keeping since keys can only be replaced if th ey 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 ve hicle - even if it is
only for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the
vehicle. The children migh t otherwise start the engine or operate electrical
equipment (e.g. power windows) - risk of injury!
•Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle
has come to a stop. The steering lock might otherwise engage unintention-
ally - risk of accident!
Caution
•Each key contains electronic components ; therefore protect them against mois-
ture and severe shocks.
•Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean as impurities (textile fibres, dust
etc.) have a negative effect on proper op eration 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.

Note
It is only possible to start the engine of your car with a Genuine Škoda key with the
matching code ⇒page 29.
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.

– Use the vehicle key to turn the slit to the right against the direction 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 leve r. 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. Th e 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 34
•using the buttons for the central locking system ⇒page 35
•by using the radio remote control ⇒page 37
Convenience operation of windows
One can open and close the electrically powered windows when unlocking and
locking the vehicle ⇒page 42, “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 ca n 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 se curing 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 unlocking of fuel filler flap
⇒ page 183.
Safe securing
The central locking system is equipped with a safe securing system. Locking the
vehicle from the outside causes the door lock s to be automatically blocked. It is not
possible to pull out the locking buttons. The indicator light in the driver's door
flashes. It is not possible to open the d oors 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 fl ash. 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 39. 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 outsid e and the safe securing system is acti-
vated, 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 emer-
gency - 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 40 first of all to avoid an alarm being triggered unintentionally.

The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the master key. The
receiver is located in the interior of th e car. The operating range of the remote
control is 10 metres but this range 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 rece iver unit has been repaired or a new unit
installed, it is then necessary for a Škoda Service Partner to initialise the system.
Only after this is it possible to again use the remote control.
Note
•The remote control is automatically deac tivated 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, ideally by a Škoda Service Partner, if the central
locking or anti-theft alarm system does re act to the remote control at less than 3

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

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.

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 sy stem 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 acti-
vated 30 seconds after closing the door.
How is the alarm sy stem switched off?
The anti-theft alarm system is switched off if the vehicle is unlocked by only using
the remote control. The vehicle is automati cally locked again if the vehicle is not
opened within 30 seconds after reactivating the anti-theft alarm system.
Once you unlock the vehicle by inserting the key into the driver door you then have
to insert the key into the ignition lock and switch 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 40,

An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is discon-
nected while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
