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

⇒fig. 36
.
WARNING
•
Always withdraw the key whenever you
leave the vehicle - even if it is
only for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the vehicle. The children might otherwise st
art the engine or operate electrical
equipment (e.g. power windows) - risk of injury!•
Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle
has come to a stop. The
steering lock might othe
rwise engage unintention-
ally - risk of accident!
Caution
•
Each key contains electronic components; therefore protect them against mois-
ture and severe shocks.•
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean as impurities (textile fibres, dust
etc.) have a negative effect on proper op
eration of the keys and the ignition lock.
Note
Please approach an authorised Škoda Servic
e Partner if you lose a key since he can
obtain a new one for you.Changing the battery of the radio remote controlEach remote control key contains a battery which is housed in the cover

direction of the arrow
⇒
page 44, fig. 39
.
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!

are automatically unlocked in order to enable rescuers to gain access to the vehicle.•
Only the driver's door can be unlocked
or locked using the key if the central
locking system fails
⇒page 47, “Emergency unlocking and locking of the driver's
door”. You can lock or unlock manually the other doors and the boot lid.

Safe securingThe central locking system is equipped with a
safe securing
6) system. Locking the
vehicle from the outside causes the door locks to be automatically blocked. It is not possible to open the doors with the door handle 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 sy
stem by locking twice 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 activated
the next time the vehicle is unlocked and
locked again. If the vehicle is locked and the safe secu
ring system is deacti
vated, you can open
the vehicle from the inside by pulling on the door opening lever.
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 activated with the deactivated safe securing system when locking the vehicle. The inte
rior monitor* is however not activated.
