For the sake of the environment
Dispose of a used battery in accord ance with environmental regulations.
Note

Pay attention to the correct pola rity when changing the battery.

The replacement battery must have the same specification as the original battery.

If it is still not be possible to unlock or lock the vehicle with the remote control even
after replacing the battery this means that the system has to be synchronised
 page 41.
Electronic immobiliser
The electronic immobiliser prevents the vehicle being operated by an
unauthorised person.An electronic chip is integrated in the he ad of the key. The immobiliser is deactivated
with the aid of this chip when the key is in serted in the ignition lock. The electronic
immobiliser is automatically activated when you withdraw the ignition key from the
lock.
Note
It is only possible to start the engine of your car with a Genuine Škoda key with the
matching code.LockingValid for vehicles without a central locking system:Locking from outside
The securing knob will move upwards or downwards in the door when unlocking or
locking. Locking from inside
All closed vehicle doors are locked by pressi
ng in the securing knobs from the inside.
The doors cannot be opened from the outside when the securing knobs have been
pressed in. The vehicle d oors can be opened from the inside as follows:

the door is unlocked by actuating the door-opening lever;

The door opens upon actuating the door-opening lever again.Note

The opened door cannot be locked with the securing knob. This prevents the
possibility of forgetting the key in the locked vehicle.

The opened doors at the rear and the fron t passenger door are locked by pressing
in the securing knob and slamming the door closed.

Please refer to the safety guidelines  in “Description” on page 36.
Child safety lockThe child safety lock prev ents the rear door from being opened from the
inside.The rear doors are equipped with a child safe ty lock. You can switch the child safety
lock on and off using the vehicle key.Switching child safety lock on– Use the vehicle key to turn the slit in the rear door to the left in the direction of the

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

vehicle from the outside causes the door lo cks to be automatically blocked. The indi-

– Move the operating lever A with the aid of a narrow object e.g. screwdriver up to
the stop in the direction of arrow; the boot lid is then unlocked.
– Open the boot lid from the outside.Remote control*DescriptionYou can use the remote control:
to unlock and lock the vehicle;

unlocking boot lid.
The transmitter with the battery is incorporat ed in the handle of the master key. The
receiver is located in the interior of the ca r. The operating range of the remote control
is approx. 10 m. But this range of the remote control can be reduced if the batteries are
weak.
The master key has a fold-open key bit whic h 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 receiver unit has been repaired or a new unit installed,
it is then necessary for a specialist garage to adapt the system. Only after this is it
possible to again use the remote control.Note

The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched on.

The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interference
from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the same frequency range (e.g.
mobile phone, TV transmitter).

The battery must be replaced if the centra l locking or anti-theft alarm system does
not react to the remote control at less th an 3 metres away. We recommend having the
battery replaced by a specialist garage.
