Instruments and warning lights

Safe securing
The central locking system is equipped with a
safe securing system. Locking the
vehicle from the outside causes the door locks to be automatically blocked. The
warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it be-
gins 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 effec-
tive deterrent for attempts to break into your vehicle.
You can deactivate the safe securing system by locking twice within 2
seconds.
If the safe securing system is not operating, the warning light in the driver door
flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts to flash evenly at longer in-
tervals after about 30°seconds.
The safe securing system is again activated the next time the vehicle is unlocked
and locked again.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is deactivated, you can open
the vehicle from the inside by pulling on the door opening lever. The door is un-
locked and opened at the same time. WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside 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 emergen-
cy - hazard! Note
● The anti-theft alarm system is also activated with the deactivated safe secur-
ing system when locking the vehicle. The interior monitor is however not activa-
ted.
● When activating the Safelock function after you lock the vehicle, the message
CHECK DEADLOCK will appear to inform you about this. In vehicles equipped with
an information display, the message Check deadlock! appears Owner's manual!
(CHECK DEADLOCK appears. Unlocking the vehicle using the key

Locking and Unlocking

Remote control
Description You can use the remote control key:
●
to unlock and lock the car,
● unlocking boot lid,
● electrically open and close the windows.
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the remote control
key. The receiver is located in the interior of the car. The operating range of the
remote control key is approx. 10 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 a new unit in-
stalled, it is then necessary for an authorised
ŠKODA Service Partner to initialise
the system. Only after this is it possible to again use the remote control key. 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).
● The battery must be replaced if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
does react to the remote control at less than 3
metres away ⇒ page 31.
● If the driver door is opened, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote
control. Unlocking and locking car Fig. 17 Remote control key

Display of the locking
The turn signal lights flash once to confirm that the vehicle has been correctly
locked.
If the vehicle is locked by pressing the button
3 and some doors or the boot lid
are not closed, the turn signal lights flash only after closing. 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! Note
● Operate the radio remote control only when the doors and boot lid are closed
and you have visual contact with the vehicle.
● Once in the car, you must not press the lock button  of the radio remote con-
trol before inserting the key into the ignition lock in order to avoid the car being
inadvertently locked and the alarm system being switched on. Should this happen,
press the unlock button  of the radio remote control. 
Synchonisation of the remote control 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;
● pressing of the button means that the door will unlock with the key within 1
minute. Anti-theft alarm system
Description The anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against people seek-
ing to break into the vehicle. The system triggers audible and visual warning sig-
nals 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 on the driver's door or by using the radio remote control. It is activa-
ted 30 seconds after locking the door.
How is the alarm system deactivated?
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated if the vehicle is unlocked by only using
the radio remote control. The anti-theft alarm system is reactivated if the vehicle
is not opened within 30 seconds after transmitting the radio signal.
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 inclination ⇒ page 39,
● Vehicle interior ⇒ page 39,
● 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?
You switch the alarm off if you unlock the vehicle with the radio remote control or
if you switch the ignition on. £38
Locking and Unlocking

Note
● The working life of the alarm siren is 6 years. More detailed information is
available by a specialist garage.
● Before leaving the car, check that all the doors, windows and the electric slid-
ing/tilting roof are properly closed in order to ensure that the anti-theft alarm sys-
tem is fully operational.
● Coding of the radio remote control and the receiver unit precludes the use of
the radio remote control from other vehicles. 

med in the window! Note
● After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows
for a further 10 minutes. The automatic closing and opening functions will not op-
erate during this time. The power windows are switched off completely once you
open the driver or front passenger door. 
Force limiter of the power windows The electrically operated power windows are fitted with a force limiter. It reduces
the risk of bruises or injuries when closing the windows.
If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down
by several centimetres.
If an obstacle prevents the window from being closed during the next 10 seconds,
the closing process is interrupted once again and the window goes down several
centimetres.
If you try to close the window once again within 10 seconds after the window has
gone down twice, although the obstacle was not yet removed, the closing process
is stopped only. During this time it is not possible to automatically close the win-
dow. The force limiter is still switched on.
The force limiter is switched off only, if you attempt within the next 10 seconds to
close the window again - now the window will close with full force.
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force limiter is switched on again. WARNING
You should take particular care when closing the windows! You may otherwise
suffer severe injuries as a result of getting an arm, for example, jammed in the
window! 
