Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
Note
•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.
•Only the driver's door can be unlocked using the key if the central locking
system fails ⇒ page 40, “Emergency unlocking and locking of the driver's door”.
You can lock or unlock manually the other doors and the boot lid.
−Emergency locking of the door ⇒page 41.
− Emergency unlocking of the boot lid ⇒page 43.
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 open the doors with the door ha ndle 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 syst em by locking two times within 2 seconds.
If the safe securing system is not operating:
•the indicator light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out
and starts to flash slowly after about 30 seconds,
•is the filler flap locked.
The safe securing system is again activate d the next time the vehicle is unlocked and
locked again.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe secu ring system is deactivated, you can open
the vehicle from the inside by pulling on the handle.
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside 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 acti vated with the deactivated safe securing
system when locking the vehicle. The inte rior monitor* is however not activated.
Buttons for the central locking system

The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the key. The receiver is
located in the interior of the car. The operating range of the remote control is
approx. 30 m. But this range of the remote control can be reduced if the batteries
are weak.
The key has a fold-open key bit which 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 Dealer 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.
•If the vehicle door is opened, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote
control.

Folding up of the key
– Press button and collapse the key bit in the housing.
The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been
unlocked. The vehicle will lock again auto matically if you unlock the vehicle using
button but do not open a door or the boot lid within the next 30 seconds. This
function is intended to prevent th e car being unlocked unintentionally.
In addition, when the car is unlocked, the power seats and exterior mirrors* move
into the position assigned to this key. The stored setting of driver seat and exterior
mirrors is retrieved.
The interior lights and the lighting of th e entry area are automatically switched on
or off (if they have been set to operat e via door contact) when unlocking and
locking the vehicle.
Display of the locking
The turn signal lights flash once to co nfirm that the vehicle has been correctly
locked.
If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle has been locked, the turn
signal lights do not flash unt il they have been closed.
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is acti-
vated, there must not be any person 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 emergency - hazard!
Note
•Operate the radio remote control only when the doors and boot lid are closed
and you have visual contact with the vehicle.
•Once in the car, you must not press the lock button  of the radio remote
control before inserting the key into the igni tion lock in order to avoid the car being
inadvertently locked and, in addition, the anti-theft alarm system* being switched
on. Should this happen, press the unlock button
 of the radio remote control.
Synchonisation of the remote control
If the vehicle cannot be unlock ed by actuating the remote control system then it is
possible that the code in the key and the control unit in the vehicle are no longer
synchronised. This can occur when the butt ons on the radio-operated key are actu-
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.
•after pressing the button, the door must be unlocked using the key within 1
minute ⇒ page 40, “Emergency unlocking and locking of the driver's door”.
Anti-theft alarm system*
Description
The anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against people seeking
to break into the vehicle. The system triggers audible and visual warning signals if
an attempt is made to break into the vehicle.
How is the alarm system activated?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically when the vehicle is locked
with the key in the driver's door or by using the radio remote control ⇒page 40,
“Emergency unlocking and locking of the driver's door”. The door contact moni-
toring is activated approx. 15 seconds after the locking. The interior and the towing
protection monitoring are activated approx. 30 seconds after the locking. If a door
is opened during activation, the monito ring is only activated 5 seconds after
closing.
How is the alarm system deactivated?
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivate d by pressing the unlock button on 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.

The anti-theft alarm system is also deacti vated if you unlock the vehicle door using
the key within 45 seconds after locking the vehicle.
Once you unlock the vehicle by inserting the key into the driver door within 45
seconds, you then have to in sert the key into the ignition lock and switch the igni-
tion 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 igni-
tion within 15 seconds.
When is the alarm triggered?
The following security areas of the locked vehicle are monitored:
•Bonnet,
•Boot lid,
•Doors,
•Ignition lock,
•Socket of the factory-fitted towing device
•Angle of the vehicle*,
•Vehicle interior*,
•A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply.
An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is discon-
nected while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
How is the alarm switched off?
You switch the alarm off if you unlock the car with the radio remote control in the
key or if you switch the ignition on.
Note
•The working life of the alarm siren is 6 years. More detailed information is avail-
able by a specialist garage.
•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.
