Note
•When storing settings with the memory buttons, we recommend that
you begin with the front button and assign a memory button to each addi-
tional driver.
•Each new setting stored with the same button erases the previous
setting.
•Each time you store the seat and exterior mirror settings for driving
forward you also have to re-store the individual setting of the exterior
mirror on the passenger side for reversing.
Assigning remote control to the memory buttons
After storing the settings of the seat and exterior mirrors, you
have 10 seconds in order to assign the remote control to the
appropriate memory button.
– Withdraw the ignition key.

second until an audible signal confirms that the setting has
been stored. The setting is stored with the memory button
which you have selected.
If you wish to be able to retrieve the settings which are stored in the
memory by also using the remote control, you have to assign the remote
control to a memory button in each case.
We recommend that you assign one of the two remote controls supplied
with your car, to the front memory button, and the other remote control key
to the middle memory button. If you wish, you can obtain an additional key with radio remote control from
a Škoda dealer and then assign the radio remote control to the rear
memory button.
Note
•If the remote control had previously been assigned to another memory
button, this setting is then erased by the new assignment.
•If you assign the remote control to a memory button which has already
been assigned to a remote control, the old assignment is also replaced by
a new assignment in this case.
•The assignment of the remote control to a memory button is retained,
however, after reassigning the seats and exterior mirrors.
