Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights29
Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
The fact that the TCS system operates together with the ABS means that the TCS
warning light will also come on if the
ABS system is not operating properly.
Further information about the TCS ⇒page 156, “Traction control system (TCS)*”.
Antilock brake system (ABS) 
The warning light  shows the functionality of the ABS and the Electronic Differ-
ential Lock (EDL).
The warning light comes on for a few seconds after the ignition has been switched
on or when starting the engine. The warning light goes out after an automatic check
sequence has been completed.
A fault in the ABS
The system is not functioning properly if the warning light
 does not go out within
a few seconds after switching on the ignition , does not light up at all or lights up
while driving. The vehicle will only be br aked by the normal brake system. Visit a
specialist garage as quickly as possible and adjust your style of driving in the mean-
time since you will not know how great the damage is.
Three additional warning tones will sound if there is a major fault in the ABS.
Further information about ABS ⇒page 159, “Antilock brake system (ABS)”.
A fault in the entire brake system
If the ABS warning light
 comes on together with the brake system warning light  (handbrake must be released), there is a fault not only in the ABS but also in
another part of the brake system ⇒.
The following text will be displayed in the information display*: STOP BRAKE FAULT SERVICE MANUAL (STOP! BRAKE FAULT OWNER'S
MANUAL)
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)
The EDL is a part of the ABS. A fault in the EDL is indicated by the ABS warning light
 in the instrument cluster. Have the ve hicle inspected without delay by a Škoda
Service Partner. Further information on the EDL ⇒page 157, “Electronic Differen-
tial Lock (EDL)”.
WARNING
•If the brake system warning light  comes on together with the ABS
warning light  stop the vehicle immediately and check the brake fluid
level in the reservoir ⇒page 191, “Brake fluid”. If the brake fluid level has
dropped below the MIN marking, do not drive any further - risk of accident!
Contact a Škoda dealer to obta in professional assistance.
•Pay attention to the following instructions ⇒ page 185, “Working in the
engine compartment” before checking the brake fluid level and opening the
bonnet.
•If the brake fluid is at the correct level, the ABS control function has
failed. The rear wheels may then block very rapidly when braking. In certain
circumstances, this can result in the rear end of the car breaking away - risk
of skidding! Drive carefully to the nearest specialist garage and have the
fault rectified.
Electronic immobiliser 
Data is compared between the ignition ke y and the control unit when switching on
the ignition. The indicator light  will light up for a few seconds when ignition key
authorisation is confirmed.
The warning light will start flashing conti nuously if a non-authorised ignition key
(for example the wrong ignition key) has been used. The engine cannot be started
⇒ page 32.
It is only possible to start the engine of your car with a Genuine Škoda key with the
matching code.
Brake system 
The warning light  flashes or comes on if the brake fluid level is too low, if there
is a fault in the ABS or if the handbrake is applied.
If the warning light
 flashes (handbrake is not applied), stop and check the brake
fluid level ⇒ .

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.

Changing the key battery
Each master key contains a battery wh ich is housed in the cover of the
transmitter housing ⇒fig. 19 . We recommend that you have the
batteries of the key replaced by a Škoda Service Partner. You should,
however, proceed as follows if you wi sh to replace the battery yourself:
– Fold open the key.
– Use a screwdriver to carefully lever off the front part of the key ⇒fig. 19 from the transmitter housing .
– Take off the cover of the transmitter housing ⇒ fig. 20 in direction of
arrow. – Take the used battery out of the housing cover.
– Insert the new battery. Ensure that the “+” symbol on the battery is
facing downwards. The correct polarity is also shown on the cover of
the transmitter housing.
– Insert cover with battery in place at the rear of the transmitter housing
and press both parts together.
– Insert the transmitter housing into the front part of the key so that the two parts lock into each other.
For the sake of the environment
Dispose of an old battery in accord ance with environmental regulations.
Note
•The replacement battery must have the same specification as the original
battery.
•If it is still not be possib le to unlock or lock the ve hicle with the remote control
even after replacing the battery this means that the system has to be synchronised
⇒ page 39.
Electronic immobiliser 
The electronic immobiliser prevents the vehicle being operated by an
unauthorised person.
An electronic chip is integrated in the he ad of the key. The immobiliser is deacti-
vated with the aid of this chip when the key is inser ted in the ignition lock. The elec-
tronic immobiliser is automatically activa ted when you withdraw the ignition key
from the lock.

Child safety lock
The child safety lock prevents the rear door from being opened from
the inside.
The rear doors are equipped with a child safety lock. You can switch the
child safety lock on and off using the vehicle key.
Switching child safety lock on
– Use the vehicle key to turn the slit in the rear door to the left in the
direction of the arrow ⇒fig. 21 .
Switching child safety lock off
– Use the vehicle key to turn the slit to the right against the direction of
the arrow.
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 leve r. In this case the door can be opened
only from the outside.
Central locking system
Description
Unlocking or locking the vehicle causes all doors to be unlocked or locked at the
same time by the central locking system. Th e boot lid is unlocked when opening. It
can be opened by pressing the hand grip above the licence plate.
Operation of the central locking system is possible:
•from the outside using the vehicle key ⇒page 34
•using the buttons for the central locking system ⇒page 35
•by using the radio remote control ⇒page 37
Convenience operation of windows
One can open and close the electrically powered windows when unlocking and
locking the vehicle ⇒page 42, “Window convenience operation”. The electric
sliding/tilting roof* can only be closed by the central locking system.
Opening a single door*
This function allows one to just unlock the driver's door. The other doors remain
locked and are only unlocked when the command is repeated. The single door
opening function can be first activated by recoding the control unit of the central
locking system. This work is undertaken by a Škoda Service Partner can give you
more information.
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.

Unlocking and locking

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.
