On vehicles which are equipped with inform ation display*, you can call up this infor-
mation in the menu SETUP page 22.
The following will be displayed in the information display* for 10 seconds: Service in ... km or... days
Resetting Service Interval Display
It is only possible to reset the Service Interval Display, if a service message or at least a
pre-warning is shown on the display of the instrument cluster.
We recommend having this resetting performed by a specialist garage.
The specialist garage:
resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection;

makes an entry in the Service schedule;

affix the sticker with the entry of the following service interval to the side of the
dash panel on the driver's side.
Reset the service interval displays by using the reset button page 15 on the trip
counter.
On vehicles which are equipped with inform ation display*, you can call up this infor-
mation in the menu SETUP page 22.Caution
We recommend that you do not reset the Se rvice Interval Display yourself otherwise
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 inter-
vals (QG1) using the reset button as that for a vehicle with fixed service intervals (QG2).
We therefore recommend having the Service In terval Display reset only by an author-
ised 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 clockThe time is set with the buttons and page 15, fig. 15 .
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 out with the information display*, it is possible to set the
time in the menu Time  page 24.
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)*IntroductionThe multi-functional indicator appears in the display page 19, fig. 17 or in the infor-

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 possible 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 system*DescriptionUnlocking or locking the vehicle causes all doors to be unlocked or locked at the same
time by the central locking system. The boot lid is unlocked when opening. It can be
opened by pressing the hand grip above the licence plate.
Operation of the central locking system is possible:
from the outside using the vehicle key page 37;

using the buttons for the central locking system page 38;

by using the remote control page 40.
Indicator light in the driver's door
After locking the vehicle the indicator light fl ashes for 2 seconds fast, then more slowly.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system page 36 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* page 42. Visit a specialist garage to obtain assist-
ance.
Convenience operatio n of the windows
One can open and close the electrically powered windows when unlocking and
locking the vehicle page 44, “Window convenience operation”. Opening a single door*
This function makes it possible to only unlock the driver's door. The other doors
remain locked and are only unlocked when the command is repeated. The single door
opening function can be first activated by recoding the control unit of the central
locking system. This work is undertaken by a specialist garage which can give you more
information.
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. The driver
can also unlock the vehicle by pressing the button
 of the central locking system.
If you wish, you can have a specialist gara ge activate the automatic locking function.
WARNING
Locking the doors prevents involuntary op ening in an exceptional situation (an
accident). Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside,
for example at road crossings. Locked do ors do, however, make it more 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 front doors can be unlocked and locked using the key if the central locking
system fails. You can operate the rear doors manually.
Emergency locking of the door page 38.
 Emergency unlocking of the boot lid page 39.
Safe securingThe central locking system is equipped with a safe securing
5) system. Locking the
vehicle from the outside causes the door lo cks to be automatically blocked. The indi-
5)The equipment is only valid for some countries.

matically switched on or off.
Display of the locking
The turn signal lights flash once to confir
m that the vehicle has been correctly locked.
If the vehicle is locked by pressing the bu tton and some doors or the boot lid are
not closed, the turn signal lights flash only after closing.
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is acti-
vated, there must not be any person 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 emergency - hazard!
Note

Operate the radio remote control only when the doors and boot lid are closed and
you have visual contact with the vehicle.

Once in the vehicle, you must not press the lock button
 of the master key before

locked and the anti-theft alarm system* being switched on. Should this happen, press
the unlock button
 of the master key.
Synchronisation of the remote controlIf the vehicle cannot be unlocked by actuatin g the remote control system then it is
possible that the code in the key and the co ntrol unit in the vehicle are no longer
synchronised. This can occur when the buttons on the radio-operated key are actuated
a number of times outside of the operative range of the equipment or the battery on
the remote control was replaced.
This means it is necessary to synchronise the code as follows:
press any button on the remote control;

pressing of the button means that the door will unlock with the key within 1
minute.
Anti-theft alarm system*DescriptionThe anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against people seeking to
break into the vehicle. The system triggers audible and visual warning signals if an
attempt is made to break into the vehicle.
How is the alarm system activated?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated au tomatically when the unlocked vehicle is
locked with the key inserted in the driver's door or with the remote control key. It is
activated 30 seconds after locking the door.
How is the alarm system deactivated?
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated if the vehicle is unlocked by only using the
radio remote control. The anti-theft alarm system is reactivated if the vehicle is not
opened within 30 seconds after transmitting the radio signal.
Once you unlock the vehicle by inserting the ke y into the driver door you then have to
insert the key into the ignition lock and sw itch the ignition on within 15 seconds after
opening the door in order to deactivate the anti-theft alarm system. The alarm will be
triggered if you do not switch on the ignition within 15 seconds.
When is the alarm triggered?
The following security areas of the locked vehicle are monitored:
bonnet;

boot lid;

doors;

ignition lock;


Recommended setting for all periods of the year:

Set the desired temperature, we recommend 22°C (72°F).

Press the button
fig. 90 .

Move the air outlet vents 3 and 4, so that the air flow is directed slightly upwards
 page 78, fig. 87 .
Switching over between degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit
Press and hold the buttons and  fig. 90 at the same time. The information
in the desired temperature measuring unit appears in the display.
WARNING

For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the
windows are free of ice, snow and mistin g. Please familiarize yourself about
how to correctly operate th e heating and ventilation systems, how to demist
and defrost the windows, as well as with the cooling mode.

You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time,
as “stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your
attention and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident
increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows begin
misting up.Note

If the cooling system has not been switched on for a lengthy period, odours may
be produced at the evaporator because of deposits. Switch the cooling system on at
least once a month for approximately 5 minut es at the highest blower stage - also
during the cold season of the year - in order to remove such odours. Also open a
window for a short time.

We recommend that you do not smoke in the vehicle when the recirculating air
mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evaporator from the interior
of the vehicle forms deposits in the evapor ator of the air conditioning system. This
produces a permanent odour when the air co nditioning system is operating which can
only be eliminated through considerable effort and expense (replacement of
compressor).

The used air streams out through the air removal openings in the luggage compart-
ment.
