After closing the boot lid, it is automatically locked within 2 seconds and
the anti-theft alarm system* is activated.
This applies only if the vehicle was
locked before closing the boot lid.•

The transmitter with the battery is housed
in the handle of the remote control 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 remote control 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 an authorised 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 phon
e, TV transmitter).
•
The battery must be replaced, ideally by
an authorised Škoda Service Partner, if
the central locking or anti-theft alarm system does react to the remote control at less than 3 metres away.•
If the driver door is opened, the vehi
cle cannot be locked using the remote
control.

Daylight driving lights*In some countries, the national legisl
ation requires that the vehicles are
equipped with the function
daylight driving lights.
Switching on daylight driving lights – Switch on the ignition without turnin
g the light switch out of the posi-
tion 0.
Deactivate function daylight driving lights – Pull the turn signal light lever towards the steering wheel up to 3
seconds after switching on the ignition
and at the same time, slide it to
the bottom and hold it in this position for at least 3 seconds.
Activate function daylight driving lights – Pull the turn signal light lever towards the steering wheel up to 3
seconds after switching on the ignition
and at the same time, slide it to
the top and hold it in this position for at least 3 seconds.
When the daylight driving lights are swit
ched on, also the low beam with reduced
brightness shines together with the side
lights (approx. 92 % of the performance).
This contributes to a longer life of the lamps for the low beam. When the daylight driving lights are switched on, the illumination of the instrument cluster is switched off, however, it is switched on in the position

when it is dark
and the low beam shines with full brightness (100 % of the performance). On vehicles fitted with an information displa

on, the light is regulated with the light
sensor in the rear mirror holder. If the light intensity drops below the set value, e.g when driving during the day into a tunnel, the low beam and the side lights as well as the licence plate light come on automa
tically. If the light intensity increases
again, the lights switch off automatically. Motorway lights If the automatic light control has been switched on and the vehicle speed is over 140 km/h for at least 10 seconds, the side
lights and low beam are switched on
automatically.

Switching on Leaving Home Function – Unlock the vehicle with the radio remote control - the lights come on.Depending on equipment fitted the function Leaving Home switches on the following lights:•
Parking lights,
•
Low beam,
•
Entry lighting in the exterior mirrors,
•
Licence plate light.
Leaving Home Function The function Leaving Home is controlled wi

interior rear mirror. If the light intensity is higher than the set value of the light sensor, the Leaving Home Function is not
switched on after unlocking the vehicle
with the radio remote control. After unlocking the vehicle with the radio remote control, the lights come on for 30 seconds. The Leaving Home Function is also switched off after the ignition is switched on and after locking the vehicle. If no door is opened within
30 seconds, the lights go out and the vehicle is locked
automatically.
Note
•
If the Leaving Home Function is switch

The light sensor switches on the full ou

System AHL* makes it possible to change
the length and width of illumination of
the headlight. The length and width of i
llumination changes automatically in rela-
tion to the vehicle speed and the use of the windscreen wiper. System AHL* operates in the following modes. Mode out of town The mode “out of town” is a basic mode. The dispersion of the cone of light in front of the vehicle is similar to the low beam. The mode is active if none of the following modes are active. Mode rain In the mode “rain” the dispersion of the cone of light in front of the vehicle is wider and the width of illumination is shorter,
so that during bad weather (rain) the
dazzling of the oncoming drivers can be reduced. The mode is activated at speeds of 15 - 70 km/h and if the windscreen wi
pers continuously operate for a period of
time longer than 2 minutes. The mode
is deactivated when dropping below or
exceeding the set speed limit or if the windscreen wipers have been switched off for a period of time longer than 8 minutes.
