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
metres away.

open when the anti-theft alarm system is activated, the turn signal lights do not
flash until after they have been closed.

WARNING
•If the windscreen wipers are handled carelessly, there is a risk of damage
to the windscreen.
•You should clean the wiper blades regularly with a windscreen cleaner in
order to avoid any smears. Clean a wiper bl ade with a sponge or cloth if it is
very dirty, for example from insect residues.
•Replace the wiper blades once or twice a year for safety reasons. We
recommend having the windscreen wiper blades purchased at a Škoda

If you shift out of reverse gear, or switch over to the driver exterior mirror in position
, the mirror surface on the passenger side moves back into the original position.
Memory for exterior mirrors*
On vehicles fitted with a memory for the driver seat, the relevant setting of the exte-
rior mirror is also stored automatica lly when the seat position is stored ⇒page 61.
WARNING
•Convex (curved outward) or a spherical exterior mirrors increase the
vision field. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror.
These mirrors are only of limited use, therefore, for estimating distances to
the following vehicles.
•Use whenever possible the interior rear mirror, for estimating the
distances to the following vehicles.
Caution
If the mirror housing has been shifted out of position as a result of external force
(e.g. striking an object when parking), the mirror must then be folded in fully with
the electric motor. On no account attemp t to move the mirror housing back by
hand otherwise proper operation of the mirror mechanism will be affected. This
applies only to models fitted with the fold-in function for both exterior mirrors*.

Note
•When storing settings with the memory buttons, we recommend that you begin
with the front button and assign a memory button to each additional driver.
•Each new setting stored with the same button erases the previous setting.
•Each time you store the seat and exterior mirror settings for driving forward you
also have to re-store the individual settin g of the exterior mirror on the passenger
side for reversing.
Assigning remote control to the memory buttons
After storing the settings of the seat and exterior mirrors, you have 10
seconds in order to assign the remote control to the appropriate memory
button.
– Withdraw the ignition key.
– Press the release button ⇒page 38 and hold it pressed for 1 second
until an audible signal confirms th at the setting has been stored. The
setting is stored with the memory button which you have selected.
If you wish to be able to retrieve the settings which are stored in the memory by also
using the remote control, you have to assign the remote control to a memory
button in each case.
We recommend that you assign one of the two remote controls supplied with your
car, to the front memory button, and the other remote control key to the middle
memory button.
If you wish, you can obtain an additional key with radio remote control from a
Škoda Service Partner and then assign the radio remote control to the rear memory
button.
Note
•If the remote control had previously been assigned to another memory button,
this setting is then erased by the new assignment.
•If you assign the remote control to a memory button which has already been
assigned to a remote control, the old assignment is also replaced by a new assign-
ment in this case.
•The assignment of the remote control to a memory button is retained, however,
after reassigning the seats and exterior mirrors.
Retrieving seat and exterior mirror settings for driving forward
You can retrieve the stored settings either with the memory buttons
or with the remote control*.

the desired memory button until the seat and the exterior mirrors
have moved into the stored position.
Retrieving settings with remote control

door.

– The head restraint can be matched to the head of the occupant by
adjusting the angle in the direction of the arrow . Adjusting the
angle of the head restraint provides enhanced comfort for the user.

– Press the locking button in the direction of arrow ⇒fig. 57 and pull
the head restraint out.

seat far enough until you hear the locking button engage.
The head restraints of the front seats can be adjusted for angle and height ⇒fig. 56 ,
the outer head restraints at the rear can be adjusted for height (about 15 mm). The
middle rear head restraint is fixed.
The head restraints must be adjusted to match the size of the seat occupant.
Correctly adjusted head restraints together with the seat belts offer effective
protection for the occupants ⇒page 127.
WARNING
•The head restraints must be correctly adjusted in order to offer effective
protection for the occupants in the event of an accident.
•Do not drive under any circumstance with removed head restraints - risk
of injury!
