Unlocking and locking
Key
– Press the unlock button ⇒fig. 18 in order to open and close the
folding key.
Your car is supplied with two master keys ⇒fig. 17 as well as a service key
and a key ring . The master keys fit in all vehicle locks. The service key can be
used only to open the doors and to start the engine. The service key is intended, for
example, to be handed over with your car when it goes for a service, or when you
arrive at the hotel. Key ring
The key ring only has the key number on it
which is essential for producing other
keys. This number can be us ed to order replacement keys from the Škoda Service
Par tners.
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 ve hicle - even if it is
only for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the
vehicle. The children migh t otherwise start 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 clean 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.

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.

ated a number of times outside of the operative range of the equipment or the
battery on the remote control was replaced.
This means it is necessary to synchronise the code as follows:
•Press any button on the remote control.
•pressing of the button means that the door will unlock with the key within 1
minute.

The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically when the vehicle is locked
with the key on the closed driver's door or by using the remote control. It is acti-
vated 30 seconds after closing the door.
How is the alarm sy stem switched off?
The anti-theft alarm system is switched off if the vehicle is unlocked by only using
the remote control. The vehicle is automati cally locked again if the vehicle is not
opened within 30 seconds after reactivating the anti-theft alarm system.
Once you unlock the vehicle by inserting the key into the driver door you then have
to insert the key into the ignition lock and switch the ignition on within 15 seconds
after opening the door in order to deactivate the anti-theft alarm system. The
alarm will be triggered if you do not switch on the ignition within 15 seconds.

•Bonnet,
•Boot lid,
•Doors,
•Ignition lock,
•Vehicle interior* ⇒page 40,
•A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply.

Headlight cleaning system*
The headlight lenses are clea ned, when low beam or main beam are switched on
by holding ⇒page 53 the lever for about 2 seconds in the position .
The headlight washer nozzles are moved forward out of the bumper by the water
pressure for cleaning the headlights.
You should remove stubborn dirt (such as insect residues) from the headlight
lenses at regular intervals, for example when refuelling. Please refer to the following
guidelines ⇒page 176, “The headlight lenses”.
You should remove any snow from the fixt ures of the washer nozzles and clear ice
in winter with a de-icing spray in order to ensure proper operation of the cleaning

Replacing the wiper blades
Taking off the wiper blade
– Fold windscreen wiper arm out from the windscreen and position the
wiper blade at right angles to the wiper arm ⇒fig. 50 .
– Press the securing spring in the direction of arrow and press the wiper blade to the windscreen at the same time in the direction of
arrow ⇒.
Attaching a wiper blade
– Push the wiper blade onto the wiper arm. The securing spring must click into place audibly.
Wiper blades in proper condition are esse ntial to obtain good visibility. Wiper
blades should not be allowed to become dirtied by dust, insect remains and
preserving wax.
Juddering or smearing of the wiper blades could then be due to wax residues left
on the windscreen by vehicle washing in automatic vehicle wash systems. It is
therefore important to degrease the lips of the wiper blades after every pass
through an automatic vehicle wash system .
