should, however, proceed as follows if you wish to replace the
battery yourself:
– Fold open the key.
– Use a screwdriver to carefully lever off the front part of the key
⇒ page 38, fig. 20 from the transmitter housing .
– Take off the cover of the transmitter housing ⇒page 38,
fig. 21 in direction of arrow.
– Take the used battery out of the housing cover.
– Insert the new battery. Ensure that the “+” symbol on the battery is facing downwards. The correct polarity is also
shown on the cover of the transmitter housing.
– Insert cover with battery in place at the rear of the transmitter housing and press both parts together.
– Insert the transmitter housing into the front part of the key so that the two parts lock into each other.
For the sake of the environment
Dispose of an old battery in accordance with environmental regulations.
Note
•The replacement battery must have the same specification as the orig-
inal battery.
•If it is still not be possible to unlock or lock the vehicle with the remote
control even after replacing the battery this means that the system has to
be synchronised ⇒page 47.
Electronic immobiliser 
The electronic immobiliser prevents the vehicle being
operated by an unauthorised person.
An electronic chip is integrated in the head of the key. The immobiliser is
deactivated with the aid of this chip when the key is inserted in the ignition
lock. The electronic immobiliser is automatically activated when you with-
draw the ignition key from the lock.
Note
It is only possible to start the engine of your car with a Genuine Škoda key
with the matching code ⇒page 35.
Central locking system
Description
Unlocking or locking the vehicle causes all doors to be unlocked or locked
at the same time by the central locking system. The boot lid is unlocked
when opening. It can be opened by pressing the hand grip above the
licence plate.
The car can be unlocked and locked either with the remote control
⇒ page 46 or with the key inserted at the driver door ⇒page 41.
It is also possible to open and close the windows by means of the central
locking system ⇒page 51. The electric sliding/tilting roof* can only be
closed by the central locking system.

So long as the child safety lock is switched on it is not possible to open the
door from the inside with the door opening lever. In this case the door can
be opened only from the outside.
Remote control
Description
You can use the remote control:
•to unlock and lock the car
•unlocking boot lid
•Opening and closing window
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the master key.
The receiver is located in the interior of the car. The operating range of the
remote control is 10 metres but this range can be reduced if the batteries
are waek.
The master 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 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 deactivated when the ignition is
switched on.
•The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by
interference from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the
same frequency range (e.g. mobile phone, TV transmitter).
