Unlocking and locking
34
If you wish, your Škoda Service Partner ca n convert the central locking system of
your car to 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
•After unlocking the vehicle see, if the se curing knobs are located on all doors at
the bottom.
•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.
•Should the central locking system not operate properly, you can lock and unlock
the front doors and the boot lid with the key. Emergency unlocking of fuel filler flap
⇒ page 183.
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 pull out the locking buttons. The indicator light in the driver's door
flashes. It is not possible to open the d oors 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.
Deactivating the safe securing system means that the warning light next to the
securing knob in the driver's door will not fl ash. This is not the case, however, for an
activated anti-theft alarm system* since the indicator light is showing that the
system is active ⇒page 39. The safe securing system is again activated 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 outsid e 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 armed when the car is closed without activating
the safe securing system. In this case, always switch off the interior monitoring
sensor* ⇒page 40 first of all to avoid an alarm being triggered unintentionally.

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 Service Partner 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.

key or if you switch the ignition on.
Indicator light (LED)
The LED in the top of the door trim on the driver door first of all flashes rapidly after
the car is locked, then slowly. This indi cates that the anti-theft alarm system
including the interior monitor* is activated.

able from your Škoda Service Partner.
•Before leaving the car, check that al l the doors, windows and the electric
sliding/tilting roof* are properly closed in order to ensure that the anti-theft alarm
system is fully operational.
•Coding of the radio remote control and the receptor part precludes the use of
the radio remote control from other vehicles.

WARNING
•If the windscreen wipers are handled carelessly, there is a risk of damage
to the windscreen.
•You should clean the wiper blades regularly with a windscreen cleaner in
order to avoid any smears. Clean a wiper bl ade with a sponge or cloth if it is
very dirty, for example from insect residues.
•Replace the wiper blades once or twice a year for safety reasons. We
recommend having the windscreen wiper blades purchased at a Škoda

Seats and Stowage

Note
•When storing settings with the memory buttons, we recommend that you begin
with the front button and assign a memory button to each additional 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 settin g 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.
– Press the release button ⇒page 38 and hold it pressed for 1 second
until an audible signal confirms th at 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 Service Partner 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 assign-
ment in this case.
•The assignment of the remote control to a memory button is retained, however,
after reassigning the seats and exterior mirrors.
Retrieving seat and exterior mirror settings for driving forward
You can retrieve the stored settings either with the memory buttons
or with the remote control*.
Retrieving settings with memory buttons
– For safety reasons, you can only retr ieve the seat and mirror settings if
the ignition is switched off. You have a choice of two different ways of
retrieving the settings:
– One-touch automatic memory: with the driver door open, operate
the desired memory button ⇒page 61, fig. 55 with one-touch.
The seat and the exterior mirrors now move automatically into the
stored position.
– Memory keying: with the driver door open or closed, press and hold
the desired memory button until the seat and the exterior mirrors
have moved into the stored position.
Retrieving settings with remote control
– If the driver door is closed and the ignition is switched off, briefly press the unlock button of the remote control ⇒page 38 and then open the
door.
– The seat and exterior mirrors now move automatically into the stored
positions.

The roof luggage rack system
Description
Pay attention to the following points if yo u wish to transport luggage or other items
on the roof of your vehicle:
•Your car has streamlined rain channels in tegrated into the roof. For this reason,
it is not possible to use conventional r oof racks. We therefore recommend that you
only use base roof bars from the Škoda Genuine Accessories.
•These base roof bars are the supporti ng elements for a complete roof bar
system. Separate additional components are required for safety reasons for trans-
porting luggage, bikes, surfboards, skis and boats. All these components you can
obtain replacement fuses from a Škoda Service Partner.
Caution
•If you use other roof rack sy stems or if the roof bars are not properly fitted, then
any damage which may result to your ca r is not covered by the warranty agree-

Switching Climatronic system off
If the symbols in the display flash for about 15 seconds after the igni-
tion is switched on, switch the Clim atronic system off as this indicates
an operational fault.
– Continue pressing the button until OFF is shown in the display
⇒ .

risk of having an accident increases.
•Do not switch the Climatronic system off for longer than necessary.
