Note
•The replacement battery must have the same specification as the original
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 43.
Electronic immobiliser
The electronic immobiliser prevents the vehicle being operated by an
unauthorised person.
An electronic chip is integrated in the he ad of the key. The immobiliser is deacti-
vated with the aid of this chip when the key is inserted in the ignition lock. The elec-
tronic immobiliser is automatically activated when you withdraw 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 26.
Child safety lock
The child safety lock prevents the rear door from being opened from
the inside.
The rear doors are equipped with a child safety lock. You can switch the
child safety lock on and off using the vehicle key.

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.
Central locking system
Description
Unlocking or locking the vehicle causes all the doors and the fuel filler flap* to be
unlocked or locked at the same time by th e central locking system. The boot lid is
unlocked when opening. It can be opened by pressing the ha nd grip above the
licence plate ⇒page 40, fig. 29 .
Operation of the central locking system is possible:
•from the outside using the vehicle key ⇒page 38,
•using the buttons for the central locking system ⇒page 39,
•by using the remote control ⇒page 42.
Indicator light in the driver's door on vehicles without anti-theft alarm system
After the car is locked, the indicator light flashes after 2 seconds.
After the car is locked with the deactivate d safe securing system, the indicator light
flashes only after 30 seconds.
Indicator light in the driver's door on vehicles with anti-theft alarm system
After locking the vehicle the indicator light flashes for 2 seconds fast, then more
slowly.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system ⇒page 38 is not operating, the
indicator light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts
to flash slowly after about 30 seconds.
If the indicator light first of all flashes fast for about 2 seconds, afterwards lights up
for about 30 seconds and then flashes slowly, there is a fault in the system of the
central locking or the interior monitor* ⇒page 44. Contact a specialist garage to
obtain assistance. Convenience operation of windows
One can open and close the electrically powered windows when unlocking and
locking the vehicle
⇒page 47, “Window convenience operation”.
Opening a single door*
This function allows one to just unlock the driver's door. The other doors and the
fuel filler flap* remain locked and are only unlocked after repetitive unlocking.
If you wish, you can have your Škoda Dealer activate the function of the single door
opening mode.
Automatic locking*
All the doors and the boot lid are locked automatically once the car reaches a speed
of about 15 km/h.
If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked again. In
addition, it is possible for the driver to unlock the car by pressing the central locking
button
 or by pulling the door opening lever.
If you wish, your Škoda Deal er can activate the function of the automatic locking
mode.
WARNING
Locking the doors prevents involuntary opening in an exceptional situation
(an accident). Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from
outside, for example at road crossings. Locked doors do, however, make it
more difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency - danger to
life!
Note
•In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
are automatically unlocked in order to enable rescuers to gain access to the vehicle.
•Only the front doors can be unlocked and locked using the key if the central
locking system fails. You can lock or unlock manually the other doors and the boot
lid.

The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the master key. The
receiver is located in the interior of th e car. The operating range of the remote
control is 10 metres but this range can be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The master key has a fold-open key bit whic h 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 rece iver 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 deac tivated 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, ideally by a Škoda Service Partner, if the central
locking or anti-theft alarm system does re act to the remote control at less than 3
metres away.
