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.

Low beam comes on only if the ignition is switched on. The low beam is switched
off automatically when the engine is star ted and after switching the ignition off;
only the side lights come on. On models fitted with
right-hand steering* the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in ⇒fig. 34 . The symbols which mark the switch positions are
identical, however.
In certain countries, the low beam is on a reduced brightness as well as the side
lights, when the ignition is switched on.
WARNING
Never drive with side lights on - risk of accident! The side lights are not
bright enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by
other oncoming traffic. In this case, always switch on the low beam when it
is dark or if visibility is reduced.
Note
•An audible warning will sound if you withdraw the ignition key and open the
driver's door when the vehicle lights are still on.
•The acoustic warning signal is switched off over the door contact when the
driver's door is closed (ignition off). The vehicle can be parked with the side lights
on.
•If you park the car for a lengthy period, we recommend switching off all lights,
or leaving only the side lights switched on.
•The switching on of the described lights should only be undertaken in accord-
ance with the legal requirements.
•In the event of cool or humid weather conditions, the headligh ts can be misted
up from inside.
−The temperature difference between interior and external area of the head-
light lenses is decisive.
− When the driving lights are switched on, the light outlet surfaces are free
from mist after a short period. The headli ght lenses can possibly mist up at the
border areas.
− It also concerns reverse light and turn signal lights.
