•The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible service
intervals (QG1) using the reset button as th at for a vehicle with fixed service inter-
vals (QG2). We therefore recommend having the Service Interval Display reset only
by a Škoda Service Partner who is familiar with the procedure for resetting the
display with a vehicle system tester.
•Please refer to the brochure Service schedule for extensive information about
the service intervals.
Digital clock
The time is set with the buttons and ⇒page 10, fig. 2 .
Select the display which you wish to ch ange with the button and carry out the
change with the button .
On vehicles which are fitted with informatio n display*, the setting of the time in the
menu Time (Clock) can be carried out ⇒page 23.
WARNING
The clock should not be adjusted while driving for safety reasons but only
when the vehicle is stationary!
Multi-functional indica tor (onboard computer)*
Introduction
The multi-functional indicator appears in the display ⇒page 15, fig. 5 or in the
information display ⇒page 19 depending on the equipment fitted to your vehicle.
The multi-functional indicator offers you a range of useful information. On vehicles which are fitted out with information display*, it is possible to switch
off the display of some information.
Caution
Pull out the ignition key while having cont
act with the display (for example when
cleaning) in order to prevent any damage.
Note
•In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of meas-
ures.
•If the display of the second speed is activated in mph, the current speed* is not
indicated in km/h on the display.

Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
Memory
The multi-functional indicator is equipped with two automatic memories. The
selected memory is displayed in the middle of the display field ⇒fig. 5 .
The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a 1 appears in the
display. A 2 shown in the display means that data relates to the total distance
memory (memory 2).
Switching over the memory with the help of the button ⇒fig. 6 on the wind-
screen wiper lever or with the help of the button on the multifunction steering
wheel* ⇒page 16.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the igni-
tion is switched on until it is switched of f. New data will also flow into the calcula-
tion of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours after
switching off the ignition. The memory will be is automatically erased, on the other
hand, if the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total distance driven memory gathers data from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 99 hours and 59 minutes driving or 9.999 kilometres driven.
The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calculation
starts from anew. The total-trip memory will not, contrary
to the single-trip memory, be deleted after
a period of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory 1 and 2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.
Operating with the buttons on the windshield wiper lever
The rocker switch and the button are located in the grip of the
window wiper lever ⇒fig. 6 .
Selecting the memory
– Short-term pressing of the button allows to select the desired memory.
Selecting the functions
– Press the top or bottom rocker switch for longer than 0.5 seconds. In this way, call up in sequence the individual functions of the multi-
functional indicator.

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 ⇒page 37, fig. 25 .
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 lo ck is switched on it is not possible to open the door

Central locking system
Description
Unlocking or locking the vehicle causes all the doors and the fuel filler flap to be
unlocked or locked at the same time by th e central locking system. The boot lid is
unlocked when opening. Afterwards you can open the boot lid by pressing the
handle on the lower edge of the boot lid ⇒page 41.
Operation of the central locking system is possible:
•by using the remote control ⇒page 44,
•using the buttons for the central locking system ⇒page 39,
•from the outside using the vehicle key ⇒page 40, “Emergency unlocking and
locking of the driver's door”.
The indicator light in the driver's door
After locking the vehicle the indicator light flashes for 2 seconds fast, then more
slowly.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system ⇒page 39 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. If the indicator light first of all flashes fast for about 2 seconds, afterwards lights up
for about 30 seconds and then flashes slowly
, there is a fault in the system of the
central locking or the interior monitor an d in the towing protection monitoring*
⇒ page 46. Contact a specialist garage to obtain assistance.
Convenience operation of windows
One can open and close the windows when opening and closing the vehicle
⇒ page 49.
Opening a single door*
This function allows one to just unlock the driver's door. The other doors and the
fuel filler flap remain locked and are on ly unlocked after repetitive unlocking.
You can have the function opening a sin gle door activated by a Škoda Service
Partner on request or you can activate it yourself with the aid of the information
display* ⇒page 23.
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 ca r is then automatically unlocked again. In
addition, it is possible for the driver or front passenger to unlock the car by pressing
the central locking button
 ⇒ page 39 or by pulling the door opening lever.
You can have the function of the automatic locking activated by a specialist garage
on request or you can activate it yourself with the aid of the information display*
⇒ page 23.
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
m ore difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency - danger to
life!

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
If the vehicle was not locked from outside, you can also unlock and lock
it with the rocker switch on the hand le of the driver or front passenger
door even without the ignition switched on.
