•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If the ignition key is withdrawn, the ca r is then automatically unlocked again.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.

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!
