hand, if the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total distance driven memory gathers data from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 99 hours and 59 minutes driving or 9.999 kilometres driven.
The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calculation
starts from anew.
The total-trip memory will not, contrary to the single-trip memory, be deleted after
a period of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory is erased if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.
Using the system
The rocker switch and the button are located in the grip of the
window wiper lever ⇒fig. 6 . Selecting the memory
– Repeated short-term pressing of the button allows one to select
the individual memories.
Selecting the functions
– Press the rocker switch up or down. This will cause the individual functions of the multi-functional in dicator to appear in the display
one after the other.
Setting function to zero
– Select the memory you want.
– Press button for more than 1 second.
The following readouts of the selected me mory will be set to zero by button :
•average fuel consumption,
•distance driven,
•average speed,
•driving time.
You can only operate the multi-functional indicator when the ignition is switched
on. After the ignition is switched on, the fu nction displayed is the one which you last
selected before switching off the ignition.
If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C, the outside temperature indicator
with a snow flake symbol appears. The symbol warns the driver of the possible
danger of ice on the road. After the rocker switch is pressed, the function
displays the one which you last selected before switching off the ignition.

Unlocking and locking
Key
The vehicle is supplied with two keys. Depending on the equipment fitted, your
vehicle can be equipped with keys without remote control ⇒fig. 20 ; with keys with
light* ⇒page 35, fig. 22 or with keys with radio remote control* ⇒fig. 21 .
Key ring
The key ring ⇒fig. 20 only has the key number on it which is essential for producing
other keys. This number can be used to order replacement keys from the Škoda
Service Partners. The
key ring with the number should be separately and securely kept in safe
keeping since keys can only be replaced if th ey are lost or damaged by giving this
number. You should also therefore give this key ring to the purchaser when selling
the vehicle.
WARNING
•Always withdraw the key whenever you leave the vehicle - even if it is
only for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the
vehicle. The children might otherwise st art the engine or operate electrical
equipment (e.g. power windows) - risk of injury!
•Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle
has come to a stop. The steering lock might otherwise engage unintention-
ally - risk of accident!
Caution
•Each key contains electronic components; therefore protect them against mois-
ture and severe shocks.
•Keep the groove of the keys absolutely cl ean as impurities (textile fibres, dust
etc.) have a negative effect on proper op eration of the keys and the ignition lock.
Note
Please approach a Škoda Service Partner if you lose a key since he can obtain a new
one for you.

Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
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.

Safe securing
The central locking system is equipped with a safe securing system. Locking the
vehicle from the outside causes the door lock s to be automatically blocked. It is not
possible to open the doors with the door handle either from the inside or from the
outside. This acts as an effective deterrent for attempts to break into your vehicle.
You can deactivate the safe securing system. This is done by locking the vehicle with
the key or radio-operated key twice within 2 seconds.
If the safe securing system 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,
•is the fuel filler flap unlocked.
The safe securing system is again activate d the next time the vehicle is unlocked and
locked again.
The doors can be opened from the inside if the vehicle is locked and the safe
securing system is deactivated:
•The door is unlocked by actuating the door-opening lever.
•The door opens upon actuating the door-opening lever again.
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 emer-
gency - hazard!
Note
The anti-theft alarm system* is also activated with the deactivated safe securing
system when locking the vehicle. The inte rior monitor* is however not activated.
Unlocking the vehicle using the key
– Turn the key in the lock of the driver's door to the left into the opening
position ⇒fig. 26 .
– Pull on the door handle and open the door.
•All the doors (only the driver's door on vehicles with anti-theft alarm system)
and the fuel filler flap* are unlocked.
•The boot lid is then unlocked.
•The switched on interior lights come on over the door contact.
•The safe securing system is deactivated.
•The windows are opened provided the key is held in the opening position*. On
