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 system by locking twice within 2 seconds.
If the safe securing system is not operating:

the indicator light in the driver door flas hes 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 securing system is deactivated, 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 emergency -
hazard!
Note
The anti-theft alarm system* is also activated with the deactivated safe securing
system when locking the vehicle. The interior monitor* is however not activated.

46Caution

In a critical situation, the movement of the lid can be stopped by applying an
abrupt and quick force against the lid.

Before opening or closing the lid, check if there are any objects in the opening or
closing range which could obstruct the movement (e.g. a load on the roof luggage rack
or on the trailer etc.). - Risk of damaging the lid!

Make sure that there is at least 10 cm of clearance above the opened boot lid (e.g.
distance from the garage ceiling). Otherwis e, it may happen that the clearance above
the opened lid is no longer sufficient after relieving the vehicle of a load (e.g. after
unloading) - risk of damaging the lid.

Do not try to manually close the lid during the electric closing process. Damage can
occur to the system of the electric boot lid.

If you manually close the lid, make sure that you press the lock located at the centre
edge of the lid while pressing down the lid above the Škoda logo.Note

If the electrical opening of the lid was triggered using the button on the remote
control key or the button on the centre cons ole, an intermittent audible signal sounds
while the lid is moving.

The electric boot lid is fitted with a force limiter. If the lid hits an obstacle when
closing, it stops and an audible signal sounds . If you rapidly enter the vehicle during the
opening or closing process of the boot lid, the whole vehicle may jerk and as a result
the movement of the lid can be interrupted - the force limiter is activated.

Manually opening and closing the boot lid is only possible in exceptional cases, in
a slow manner and without sudden movements - if possible close to the centre of the
lid - ; by manipulating the lid on the sides, damage to the electric lid may occur.

In certain circumstances, if the lid is load ed (e.g by a thick layer of snow), the
opening process of the lid can be interrupted. In order to ensure the electrical function
of the lid, relieve the lid.
Description of the operationWhen operating the lid, the system distinguishes 3 areas fig. 34 where the function
of the individual operating elements changes. The end positions of the lid - fully closed
in the secured lock and fully opened - differ as well.

Caution
In an emergency, you can unlock the boot li
d with the vehicle key, however only in a
critical situation - risk of damaging the key.Remote controlDescriptionYou can use the remote control key:
to unlock and lock the car,

unlock or open the boot lid,

Opening and closing window.
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
key is approx. 30 m. But this range of the remote control can be reduced if the batteries
are weak.
The 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 receiver 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 key.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 th e car and which operate in the same frequency range (e.g.
mobile phone, 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.
