Vehicle key
Introductory information
Fig. 8
Remote control key
Two remote control keys are provided with the vehicle » Fig. 8.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 from 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 it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.
■ Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
etc.) have a negative effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and igni-
tion lock. Note
If you lose a key, please contact a ŠKODA Service Partner who will obtain a re-
placement key for you. Ð Replacing the battery in the remote control key

does not flash
after you press a button on the remote control key » Fig. 8 on page 27. We recom-
mend that you ask a ŠKODA

wards. The correct polarity is shown on the battery cover.
› Place the battery cover on the key and press it down until it clicks into place. CAUTION
■ Pay attention to the correct polarity when changing the battery.
■ The replacement battery must have the same specification as the original bat-
tery. £

Introductory information
When using the central locking and unlocking system, all the doors and the fuel
filler flap are locked or unlocked at the same time (if it was not set differently in
the menu item Settings - Convenience

of the information display). The boot lid is
unlocked when opening. The boot lid can then be opened by pressing the handle
on the lower edge of the boot lid » page 36.
Indicator light in the driver's door
After locking the vehicle, the indicator light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick
succession, afterwards it begins to flash evenly at longer intervals.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system » page 29 is not operating,
the indicator light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out
and starts to flash evenly at longer intervals after about 30 seconds.
If the indicator light first of all flashes fast for about 2 seconds, afterwards lights
up for about 30 seconds without interruption and then flashes slowly, there is a
fault in the system of the central locking or in the interior monitor and in the tow-
ing protection monitoring » page 34. Seek help from a ŠKODA specialist garage.
Convenience operation of windows
The windows can be opened and closed when unlocking and locking the vehi-
cle » page 42. Ð Individual settings
Opening a single door
This selection function makes it possible to only unlock the driver's door. The oth-
er doors and the fuel filler flap remain locked and are only unlocked after being
opened again.
Unlocking a vehicle side door
This selection function enables to unlock both doors on the driver's side. The oth-
er doors and the fuel filler flap remain locked and are only unlocked after being
opened again.
Unlocking the vehicle with the KESSY system

are only unlocked after being unlocked again using the unlock button on the re-
mote control key
» Fig. 8 on page 27
or the central locking button » Fig. 11 on
page 30.
Automatic locking and unlocking
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 or front passenger to unlock the car by press-
ing the central locking button  » page 30.
The vehicle doors can also be unlocked and opened by pulling once on the door
opening lever. WARNING
Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside, for exam-
ple at road crossings. Locked doors do, however, make it more difficult for res-
cuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency - danger to life! Note
■ You can have the individual settings activated by a ŠKODA
Service Partner or
you can activate them yourself with the help of the information display » page 16,
Settings. ■ 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 vehi-
cle. ■ Only the driver's door can be unlocked or locked using the key if the central
locking system fails » page 35. The other doors and the boot lid can be manually
locked or unlocked. ■ Emergency locking of the door »

page 35.
■ Emergency unlocking of the boot lid » page 37. ÐSafe securing system
The central locking system is equipped with a safe securing system. The door
locks are blocked automatically if the vehicle is locked from the outside. The indi-
cator light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it begins
to flash evenly at longer intervals. 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. The safe securing system can be deactivated within 2 seconds by double locking
the vehicle.
If the safe securing system is not in operation:
› the indicator light in the driver door flashes rapidly for about 2

seconds, goes
out and starts to flash at regular, longer intervals after about 30 seconds;
› is the filler flap locked.
The safe securing system is activated again the next time the vehicle is unlocked
and locked.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is deactivated, the vehicle
can be opened from the inside by pulling the door opening lever. 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 no longer pos-
sible 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 activated when the vehicle is locked even if the
safe securing system is deactivated. The interior monitor is however not activa-
ted. ■ After locking the vehicle, you will be informed that the safe securing system is
activated by means of the message CHECK DEADLOCK on the instrument cluster
display. On vehicles that are equipped with an information display, the following
message will appear Check deadlock! Owner's manual! appears.Ð

Unlocking and locking

If the vehicle is unlocked within 45 seconds by inserting the key into the driver
door, the key must be inserted into the ignition lock and the ignition switched on
within 15 seconds of unlocking the door to deactivate the alarm system. The
alarm is triggered if the ignition is not switched on 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 inclination
» page 34;
› Interior of the vehicle
» page 34;
› A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply;
› Socket of the factory-fitted towing device.
An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is discon-
nected while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
How is the alarm switched off?
The alarm is switched off by unlocking the vehicle with the radio remote control
or switching on the ignition. Note
■ The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years.
■ Before leaving the car, it must be checked that all of the windows, doors, and
the electric sliding/tilting roof or the panoramic sliding roof are properly closed to
ensure the full functionality of the anti-theft alarm system. ■ Coding of the radio remote control and the receiver unit precludes the use of
the radio remote control from other vehicles. Ð Interior monitor and towing protection monitoring
