lock the car, or to deactivate the anti-theft
alarm system and to unlock the car.Switching off interior motion sensorThe procedure for switching the interior mo-
tion sensor off and on is the same as for
switching off the Safe lock - see page 9.
This function makes it possible, for examp-
le, to leave animals in the car.
Switching off alarm
If the alarm has been triggered, press and
hold the Unlock button of the remote con-
trol for about one second in order to switch
off the alarm. The alarm is then switched
off and the car is unlocked. You can also
switch off the alarm by unlocking the car
with the key and the switching the ignition

vated by once again pressing the button
(lock car).
General notes
The life of the siren source is 5 years.
Further information is available from
your Škoda Dealer.

The frequency coding of the remote con-
trol and the receiver means that it is not
possible to use the remote control of other
cars.

If the key and remote control are lost,
please contact your Škoda Dealer.

The power for the remote control is sup-
plied by batteries. If the anti-theft alarm
system does not react to the remote con-
trol until you are less than 3 metres from
the car or if the indicator light in the key
does not flash when the button is pressed,
the batteries have to be replaced. This is
best done at a Škoda Dealer.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Power windows*
The switches for the individual windows are
located in the armrest of the driver door, of
the front passenger door and in the rear
doors*.
The power windows can also be operated
when the ignition is switched off.
If the ignition is switched off, the power win-
dows can continue to be operated for about
10 minutes, but not anymore if the door is
opened and closed.
The buttons in the rear doors* can be de-
activated using the safety switch* 1. The
windows should be closed in this case. Af-
ter this, it is only possible to operate the
windows in the rear doors with the switches
in the armrest. After the safety switch has
been pressed once again the rear switches
again operate.
Opening and closing windows by
means of buttons on the driver’s
doorOpening versions

The window is opened by applying slight
pressure to the relevant switch in the door.
The opening operation is stopped when the
switch is released.

The front windows are automatically
opened fully if the switch is pressed as far
as the stop.
The window stops immediately when the
switch is again pressed.
Closing

The window is closed by pulling up the
relevant switch slightly.
The closing operation is immediately
stopped when the switch is released.

The front windows are automatically fully
closed if the switch is pulled up as far as
the stop.
The window stops immediately if the switch
is pulled once again. Notes


The two switches for the rear windows
each have only one closing and one open-
ing position. The switch has to be pressed
and held during the entire closing or open-
ing operation.

It is only possible to automatically fully
open and close the two front windows us-
ing the switches in the driver’s door.

If the battery is re-connected, the top
position of the closed window has to be set
(system activated):
- Close all the windows with the conve- nience closing system.
- release the key
- After closing the window, hold the key in the closed position for a further 3 sec-
onds or so.

16CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTDriving in winterIn winter, the closing operation of the win-
dow may be stopped because of the higher
friction resistance, caused for example by
ice, and the window then returns to its ini-
tial position.
In such a case, the window must be closed
in the following way:

Pull the switch (press switch at front
passenger door and at the rear doors) and
hold until the window is closed.

If closing is interrupted, repeat the op-
eration.Convenience operation of windowsWhen the car is unlocked and locked, it is
possible to open and close the power win-
dows (only to close the sliding/tilting roof),
as follows:

Hold the key in the lock in the opening
or closing position until all the windows are
opened or closed. The opening or closing
operation is interrupted immediately when
the key is released.
The rollback protection is not active if
the convenience system is used. Refer
to the following text for more detailed
information. Warning


The system is equipped with a
safety device to prevent injuries from
bruises. If, for example, a person’s
arm becomes jammed in the window
as it closes, the closing operation is
interrupted and the window opens
again a short distance. Despite this,
take care when closing the windows.
Persons may suffer injuries if the
windows are closed inattentively or
in an uncontrolled way.

No person should be left in the car
if it is locked from the outside. It is
not possible to open the windows
after about 10 minutes, or if the driv-
er’s door is opened and closed when
the ignition is switched off.

It is important to always pay atten-
tion when the windows are closing
to avoid anyone being injured.
Adjusting mirrorsThe rear-view mirrors should always be
adjusted properly before moving off so as
to ensure good vision to the rear.
Anti-dazzle inside mirror
The lever on the lower edge of the mirror
should be pointing forward when the basic
setting is made.
Pull lever to the rear to set the anti-dazzle
position.Rear-view mirrors

For safety reasons the seat must
only be adjusted when the vehicle is
stationary!

Take care when adjusting the seat!
Risk of injury if the seat is moved
without proper attention or in an un-
controlled manner.

The electric adjustment of the seat
also operates when the ignition is
switched off or the ignition key with-
drawn. For this reason, never leave
children unattended in the vehicle.

erwise proper operation of the seat
belts will be affected.

22CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTMemory for driver’s seatThe memory of your driver’s seat offers the
possibility of storing your own individual
settings for the seat and exterior mirrors. It
is possible to store the individual settings
for up to three drivers in each case using
the memory button D. If another person
drives the car, it is then only necessary to
press button D for the seat and exterior
mirrors to be set automatically to the indi-
vidually programmed position. Memory button
D can be used to store and
retrieve the
- individual settings of the driver’s seat,
- Storing and retrieving exterior mirror settings (on left and right) for driving
forward , or exterior mirror setting (on
right) for reversing.
In addition, you can use the keys of the
remote control* to retrieve the stored set-
tings of a memory button.
The memory system can be switched off at
any time with the lock switch E. The seat
and the exterior mirrors can then only be
adjusted manually.
Storing seat and mirror settings for
driving forward
Switch the ignition on.

Adjust the seat - see pages 20 and 21.

Adjust both exterior mirrors - see page
16.

Press one of the memory buttons D and
hold the button for about three seconds until
an audible signal confirms that the settings
have been stored.
The settings are then stored under the
memory button selected.
Storing exterior mirror setting for
reversing*
Switch the ignition on.

Switch over operation of the exterior
mirror to position R.

Shift into reverse gear.

Position the exterior mirror on the right
into the desired setting - refer to p. 17.

Press one of the memory buttons D and
hold the button for about three seconds until
an audible signal confirms that the setting
has been stored.
The settings are stored under the selected
memory button.
Notes

We recommend beginning with the left-
hand button for the memory assignment
and allocating a memory button to each
additional driver.

Each new setting which is stored with the
same button cancels the previous setting.

Each time new settings are stored for the
seat and mirrors for driving forward, it is
also necessary to re-store the individual
setting of the right-hand exterior mirror for
reversing.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Assigning remote control keys* to
the memory buttonsIf you wish to be able to retrieve the set-
tings stored in the memory using the remote
control key, you must assign the keys to a
particular memory button.
We recommend assigning one of the two
factory-supplied remote control keys to the
left-hand memory button and the other keys
to the middle button.
You can obtain an additional remote con-
trol key, if necessary, from your Škoda Dea-
ler and then assign it to the right-hand
memory button.Carry out the following procedure
to assign the remote control keys:After storing the settings of the driver’s seat
and mirrors, you have 10 seconds to as-
sign the remote control key to the corre-
sponding memory.

Withdraw the remote control key from
the ignition lock for this purpose.

Press the opening button of the remote
control key - see page 12 and hold the but-
ton for about one second until an audible
signal confirms the assignment has been
made.
The setting is stored under the memory
button you selected.
Notes

If the remote control key has already
been assigned to another memory button,
the „old“ assignment is cancelled.

If the remote control key is assigned to
a memory button which has already been
assigned to another key, the „old“ assign-
ment is also cancelled in this case.

The assignment of a remote control key
to a memory button is retained even if you
store new seat and mirror settings with this
button.
Retrieving seat and mirror settings
for driving forwardYou can retrieve the stored settings by us-
ing the memory buttons D as well as the
remote control*.
Retrieving with the memory buttons
For safety reasons, you are able to retrie-
ve the seat and memory settings only if the
ignition is switched off . You have two
possibilities for retrieving the settings in this
case:
„One-touch automatic memory“: With the
driver door opened, briefly press on the
desired memory button D. The seat and
exterior mirrors now move automatically
into the stored position.

24CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT„Multi-touch memory retrieval“: With the
driver door opened or closed, continuous-
ly press the desired memory button D until
the seat and exterior mirrors have moved
into the stored position.
Note
If one of the memory buttons is once again
pressed during the automatic adjustment
of the seat and exterior mirrors, the retrie-
val process is interrupted. In this case,
again press the key which you pressed first
in order to continue the interrupted retrie-
val process. If, on the other hand, you press
one of the other two buttons, the seat and
mirrors will then move to the positions
stored with these buttons.
Retrieving with the remote control*
You can only retrieve the stored seat and
mirror settings if the ignition is switched
off and the driver door is closed:
Briefly press the opening button of the re-
mote control key - see page 9, and then
open the driver door.
The seat and the exterior mirrors now move
automatically into the stored positions.
Notes on use of the lock switch E
After the lock switch E is pressed (re-
leased), the memory system is permanently
switched off. You can now set the seat and
the exterior mirrors only manually. You can
switch on the memory system again by
once again pressing the lock switch E. If a
retrieval process was interrupted when this
switch was first pressed, the process is not
continued .

We recommend switching off the memo-
ry system with the lock switch E if the car is
to be driven for a short time by a person for
whom you do not wish to store the individual
seat and mirror settings.
