Unlocking and locking
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
Fig. 9

» Fig. 9. If the battery is discharged, the red indicator light A
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
Service Partner to replace the key battery. However,
if you would like to replace the discharged battery yourself proceed as follows.
› Flip out the key.
› Press off the battery cover with your thumb or using a flat screwdriver in the
region of arrows 1
» Fig. 9.
› Remove the discharged battery from the key by pressing the battery down-
wards in the region of arrow 2
.
› Insert the new battery. Ensure that the “+” symbol on the battery is facing up-
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. £

Unlocking and locking

For the sake of the environment
Dispose of the used battery in accordance with national legal provisions. Note
■ Please approach a ŠKODA Service Partner if you lose a key as they can obtain a
new one for you. ■ The system has to be synchronised, if the vehicle cannot be unlocked or locked
with the remote control key after replacing the battery » page 32. ÐChild safety lock
Fig. 10

› Use the vehicle key to turn the slit in the rear door in the direction of the ar-
row » Fig. 10.
Switching off
› Use the vehicle key to turn the slit to the right in the opposite direction to the
arrow. Ð Central locking system
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

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

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
This selection function enables to unlock all the doors, individual doors, both
doors on the left and right vehicle side or to unlock the driver and front passenger

Vehicle locking/unlocking from the inside
Fig. 11
Central locking button
The doors and the boot lid can be unlocked/locked with the rocker switch on the
door opening lever of the driver or front passenger door » Fig. 11 even when the
ignition is not switched on.
The central locking button works only when the vehicle was not locked from the
outside and all doors are closed.
Locking
Press the symbol » Fig. 11 on the button. The symbol  in the button comes on.
Unlocking
Press the symbol » Fig. 11 on the button. The symbol  in the button is no longer
illuminated.
The following applies if your vehicle has been locked using the central locking
button.
› It is not possible to open the doors or the boot lid from the outside (safety fea-
ture, e.g. when stopping at traffic lights etc.).
› The vehicle doors can be unlocked and opened by pulling once on the door
opening lever.
› In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
are automatically unlocked from the inside in order to enable rescuers to gain
access to the vehicle.
By pressing and holding down the symbol  or  on the rocker switch in the driv-
er's door, the windows can be conveniently closed or opened. WARNING
The central locking system also operates if the ignition is switched off. Chil-
dren should never be left unattended in the vehicle since it is difficult to pro-
vide 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! Note
If the safe securing system is activated » page 29, the door opening lever and the
central locking buttons do not operate. Ð Remote control
Introductory information
You can use the remote control key to:
› unlock and lock the vehicle,
› unlock or open the boot lid,
› open and close the windows
»
page 42, Window convenience operation .
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the remote control
key. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle. The operating range of
the remote control key 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 receiver unit has been repaired or replaced, the
system must be initialised by a ŠKODA Service Partner. Only then can the remote
control key be used again. Note
■ The remote control is automatically deactivated 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). £

Synchronisation
If the vehicle cannot be unlocked 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 lon-
ger synchronised. This can occur when the buttons on the radio-operated key are
actuated 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 key;
› pressing of the button means that the door will unlock with the key within 1 mi-
nute. ÐKESSY system
Introductory information
The KESSY system (Keyless Entry Start Exit System) enables a comfort unlocking
and locking of the vehicle and a start-up without actively using the remote con-
trol key. The KESSY system is integrated in the central locking system.
The safe securing system and anti-theft alarm system correspond to vehicles
without the KESSY system. Only the control elements are different.
When unlocking and locking the vehicle or for starting the engine it suffices to
carry the key with you, e.g. in your pocket. ÐLocking/unlocking
Fig. 13
KESSY: Designation of the areas and unlocking/locking the vehicle To lock/unlock a vehicle fitted with the KESSY system, it is necessary for the valid
