The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the key. The receiver is
located in the interior of the car. The operating range of the remote control is
approx. 30 m. But this range of the remote control can be reduced if the batteries
are weak.
The 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 rece iver 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 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.
•If the vehicle door is opened, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote
control.

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
more difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency - hazard!

Synchonisation of the remote control
If the vehicle cannot be unlock ed 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 butt ons on the radio-operated key are actu-
ated 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.
•after pressing the button, the door must be unlocked using the key within 1
minute ⇒ page 40, “Emergency unlocking and locking of the driver's door”.
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 activated?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically when the vehicle is locked
with the key in the driver's door or by using the radio remote control ⇒page 40,
“Emergency unlocking and locking of the driver's door”. The door contact moni-
toring is activated approx. 15 seconds after the locking. The interior and the towing
protection monitoring are activated approx. 30 seconds after the locking. If a door
is opened during activation, the monito ring is only activated 5 seconds after
closing.
How is the alarm system deactivated?
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivate d by pressing the unlock button on the
remote control. The vehicle is automati cally locked again if the vehicle is not

Mode out of town
The mode “out of town” is a basic mode. The dispersion of the cone of light in front
of the vehicle is similar to the low beam. Th e mode is active if none of the following
modes are active.
Mode rain
In the mode “rain” the dispersion of the cone of light in front of the vehicle is wider
and the width of illumination is shorter, so that during bad weather (rain) the
dazzling of the oncoming drivers can be re duced. The mode is activated at speeds
of 15 - 70 km/h and if the windscreen wi pers continuously operate for a period of
time longer than 2 minutes. The mode is deactivated when dropping below or
exceeding the set speed limit or if the windscreen wipers have been switched off for
a period of time longer than 8 minutes.
