Resetting Service Interval Display
It is only possible to reset the Service Interval Display, if a service message or at
least a pre-warning is shown in the instrument cluster display.
We recommend that this reset is completed by a
ŠKODA specialist garage.
The ŠKODA specialist garage: › Resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection
› Adds an entry to the Service Schedule
› Affixes the sticker with the entry of the following service interval to the side of
the dashboard on the driver's side
Reset the service interval display by using the reset button 7
»
Fig. 2 on page 8.
On vehicles which are equipped with the information display, you can reset the
Service Interval Display in the menu Settings » page 16.CAUTION
We recommend that you do not reset the Service Interval Display yourself as this
can result in the incorrect setting of the Service Interval Display, which can also
cause possible problems with the operation of your vehicle. Note
■ Never reset the display between service intervals, as this will result in the incor-
rect display. ■ Information is retained in the Service Interval Display even after the vehicle bat-
tery is disconnected.
■ If the instrument cluster is exchanged after a repair, the correct values must be
entered in the counter for the Service Interval Display. This work is carried out by
a ŠKODA specialist garage. ■ After resetting the display with flexible service intervals, the displayed data is
the same as that for a vehicle with fixed service intervals. We therefore recom-
mend that the Service Interval Display is only reset by a

ŠKODA Service Partner,
who will reset the display with a vehicle system tester. ■ For more information on the service intervals » Service Plan. Ð Digital clock

Note
If the safe securing system is activated » page 28, the door opening lever and the
central locking buttons do not operate. ÐRemote control
Introductory information
You can use the remote control key to:
› unlock and lock the vehicle,
› unlocking boot lid;
› open and close the windows
» page 36, 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).
■ 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 26.
■ If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote control
key. Ð Locking/unlocking

The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been un-
locked. If the vehicle is unlocked using button 1
» Fig. 13 and none of the doors
or the boot lid are opened within the next 30 seconds, the vehicle is automatical-
ly locked again and the safe securing system or anti-theft alarm system is reacti-
vated. This function is intended to prevent the car being unlocked unintentional-
ly.
In addition, when the car is unlocked, the electrically adjustable seats and exteri-
or mirrors move into the position assigned to this key. The stored setting of driver
seat and exterior mirrors is retrieved. £
30 Using the system

Locking
The turn signal lights flash once to confirm that the vehicle has been correctly
locked.
If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle has been locked, the
turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.
WARNING
If the car is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is activated,
there must not be any person in the car as it is then not possible to open ei-
ther a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more diffi-
cult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency - hazard! Note
■ Only operate the remote control when the doors and boot lid are closed and the
vehicle is in your line of sight. ■ To avoid the car being locked inadvertently once in the car, the lock button of the remote control must not be pressed before the key is inserted into the ig-
nition lock. Should this happen, press the unlock button
 of the remote control.
ÐSynchronisation
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. Ð Anti-theft alarm system
Introductory information
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?

Climatronic (automatic air conditioning system)
Introductory information
The Climatronic maintains fully automatically a convenience temperature. This is
achieved by automatically varying the temperature of the air flow, the blower
stages and air distribution. The system also takes sunlight into account, which
eliminates the need to alter the settings manually. The automatic
mode » page 87 ensures maximum well-being of the occupants at all times of
the year.
Description of Climatronic system
The cooling system only operates if the following conditions are met:
› engine running;
› outside temperature above approx. +2 °C;
› AC 13
» Fig. 91 on page 86
switched on.
The AC compressor is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to pro-
vide cooling at a high load of the engine.
Recommended setting for all periods of the year.
› Set the desired temperature, we recommend 22 °C.
› Press the button
AUTO 8
» Fig. 91

on page 86.
› Move the air outlet vents
3 and 4 » Fig. 87 on page 81 so that the air flow is
directed slightly upwards. Note
■ We recommend that you have the Climatronic system cleaned by a
ŠKODA spe-
cialist garage once every year. ■ On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted radio or radio navigation system, the
Climatronic information is also shown on their displays. This function can be
switched off, see operating instructions for the radio or navigation system. Ð Overview of the control elements

Using the system

Note
Below the top row of buttons is located the interior temperature sensor. Do not
stick anything on or cover the sensor, otherwise it could have an unfavourable ef-
fect on the Climatronic. ÐAutomatic mode
The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a constant temperature and to
demist the windows in the interior of the car.
Switching on
› Set a temperature between +18 °C and +26
℃.
› Move the air outlet vents
3 and 4 » Fig. 87 on page 81 so that the air flow is
directed slightly upwards.
› Press the button
AUTO 8
» Fig. 91 on page 86
. The indicator light in the top
right or left corner lights up, depending on which mode was last selected.
If the warning light in the top right corner of the button AUTO lights up, the Cli-
matronic operates in

“HIGH” mode. The “HIGH” mode is the standard setting of
the Climatronic.
When pressing again the button AUTO , the Climatronic changes into the “LOW”
mode and the indicator light in the top left corner lights up. The Climatronic uses
only in this mode the lower blower speed. However taking into account the noise
level, this is more comfortable, yet be aware that the effectiveness of the air con-
ditioning system is reduced particularly if the vehicle is fully occupied.
By pressing the button AUTO again, it is changed to “HIGH” mode.
Automatic mode is switched off by pressing one of the buttons for the air distri-
bution or by increasing/decreasing the blower speed. The temperature is never-
theless regulated. ÐSwitching the cooling system on and off

. The indicator light lights up in the
button.
› When you again press the button
AC , the air conditioning system is switched
off. The indicator light in the button goes out. Only the function of the ventila-
tion remains active when no lower temperature than the outside temperature
can be reached. Ð Setting temperature
The interior temperature for the left and right side can be set separately.
› The temperature for both sides can be set with the control dial 7
» Fig. 91 on
page 86

after switching on the ignition.
› If you wish to set the temperature for the right side, turn the control dial 14
.
The indicator light in the button DUAL lights up, this indicates that differing
temperatures for the left and right side can be set.
If the indicator light in the button DUAL is illuminated, the temperature for both
sides cannot be set with the control dial 7
. You can reactivate this function by
pressing the button DUAL . The indicator light in the button goes out.
The interior temperature can be set between +18 °C and +26 ℃. The interior tem-
perature is regulated automatically within this range. If a temperature lower than
+18 °C is selected, a blue symbol lights up at the start of the numerical scale. If a
temperature higher than +26 °C is selected, a red symbol lights up at the start of
the numerical scale. In both limit positions the Climatronic operates at maximum
cooling or heating capacity, respectively. The temperature is not controlled in this
case.
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially
around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when getting
out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold. Ð Recirculated air mode
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting into
the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in a
traffic jam. If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is recognized
by the air quality sensor, when the automatic air distribution control is switched
on, the air distribution control will temporarily be switched off. If the concentra-
tion of pollutants decreases to the normal level, the air distribution control is au-
tomatically switched off so that fresh air can be guided into the vehicle interior. In
recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and then fed
back into the interior. When the automatic air distribution control is switched on,
an air quality sensor measures the concentration of pollutants in the drawn in air.
