Caution
We recommend that you do not reset the
Service Interval Disp
lay yourself other-
wise this can result in the service interval display being incorrectly set, which may also result in problems with operation of your vehicle.
Note
•
Never reset the display between service intervals otherwise this may result in
incorrect readouts.•
information is retained in the Service Interval Display also after the battery of
the vehicle is disconnected.•
If the instrument cluster is exchanged af
ter a repair, the correct values must be
entered in the counter for the Service Interval Display. This work is carried out by a specialist garage.•
The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible service
intervals (QG1) using the reset button as that for a vehicle with fixed service inter- vals (QG2). We therefore recommend having
the Service Interval Display reset only
by an authorised Škoda Service Partner who is familiar with the procedure for reset-ting the display with a vehicle system tester.•
Please refer to the brochure Service sc
hedule for extensive information about
the service intervals.Digital clockThe time is set with the buttons and
⇒page 17, fig. 17

Select the display which you wish to chan
ge with the button and carry out the
change with the button . On vehicles which are fitted out with the information display*, it is possible to set the time in the menu

WARNING
The clock should not be adjusted while driving for safety reasons but only when the vehicle is stationary!Multi-functional indicator (onboard computer)*IntroductionThe multi-functional indicator appears in the display
⇒page 22, fig. 20
or in the
information display
⇒page 26 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 inform
ation display*, it is possible to switch
off the display of some information.
Caution
Pull out the ignition key while having contact 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.MemoryThe multi-functional indicator is equi
pped with two automatic memories. The
selected memory is displayed in
the middle of the display field
⇒fig. 20
.
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 da
ta relates to the total distance
memory (memory 2). Switching over the memory with the help of the button
⇒fig. 21
on the wind-
screen wiper lever or with the help of th
e button on the multifunction steering
wheel*
⇒page 23.
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 off. 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 leverThe rocker switch and the button are located in the grip of the window wiper lever

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 possib
le to open the door
from the inside with the door opening lever. In this case the door can be opened only from the outside.Central locking systemDescriptionUnlocking 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 ca
n open the boot lid by pressing the
handle on the lower edge of the boot lid
⇒page 48.
Operation of the central locking system is possible:•
by using the radio remote control
⇒page 51,
•
using the buttons for the central locking system
⇒page 46,
•
from the outside using the vehicle key
⇒page 47, “Emergency unlocking and
locking of the driver's door”. 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 46 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 without interruption an
d then flashes slowly, there is a fault in
the system of the central locking or in the
interior monitor and in the towing protec-
tion monitoring*
⇒page 53. Visit a specialist garage to obtain assistance.
Convenience operation of windows One can open and close the windows when opening and closing the vehicle ⇒ page 56. 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 only unlocked after repetitive unlocking. You can have the function opening a single
door activated by an authorised Škoda
Service Partner on request or you can activate it yourself with the aid of the Infor- mation display*
⇒page 30.
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 or front passenger to unlock the car by pressing the central locking button
⇒page 46 or by pulling the door opening lever on one
of the front doors. You can have the function of the automatic
locking activated by a specialist garage
on request or you can also activate it yourself with the aid of the Information display*
⇒page 30.
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!

Technical Data
The following applies if you have locked
your vehicle using the central locking
system:•
It is not possible to open the doors or the boot lid from the outside (safety
feature, e.g. when stopping at traffic lights etc.).•
You can unlock the doors individually from
the inside and open them by pulling
the door opening lever.•
If at least one door has been op
ened, the vehicle cannot be locked.
•
In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
are automatically unlocked from the inside
in order to enable rescuers to gain
access to the vehicle. By pressing and holding down
the top and bottom part of the rocker switch in the
driver's door, you can conveniently close or open the windows.
WARNING
The central locking system al
so operates if the ignition is switched off. All the
doors and the boot lid are locked. Childr
en should never be left unattended
in the vehicle since it is difficult to
provide assistance from the outside when
the doors are locked. Locked doors make
it difficult for rescuers to get into
the vehicle in an emergency - hazard!
Note
The door opening lever and the buttons
for the central locking system do not
operate if the safe securing system is activated.
Emergency unlocking and locking of the driver's door If the remote control key or the central locking system does not operate, the driver's door can be
unlocked or locked manually.
– Pull on the handle. – Guide the vehicle key into the recess on the bottom side of the cover
and lift it up to the top.
