The brief instructionBasic functions and important informationIntroduction
The chapter of the brief instruction is only used as a quick reference of
the most important operating elements of the vehicle. It is necessary to
observe all the information which is contained in the following chapters
of the Owner's Manual.Unlocking and locking the vehicle Unlocking the vehicle
Unlocking the boot lid
Locking the vehicle
Folding out/folding up of the key
Further information page 44, “Unlocking and locking car”.

Unlocking and lockingKeyFig. 22 Set of keys without remote control / set of keys with remote control keyTwo keys are provided with the vehicle. Depending on the equipment, your vehicle can
be equipped with keys without radio remote control or with radio remote control keys*
 fig. 22 .
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 start the en gine 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 steerin g lock might otherwise enga ge unintentionally - risk
of accident!Caution

Each key contains electronic components; therefore protect them against moisture
and severe shocks.

Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean as impurities (textile fibres, dust etc.)
have a negative effect on the proper operation of the locking cylinder and the ignition
lock.
Note
Please approach a specialist garage if you lose a key since he can obtain a new one for
you.Changing the battery in the remote control keyFig. 23 Disconnect key with radio remote control / change batteryEach remote control key contains a ba ttery which is housed in the cover fig. 23
of the transmitter housing. If the battery is discharged, the red indicator light
 fig. 22 does not light up after pressing a button on the remote control key. We
recommend that you have the batteries of the key replaced by an authorised Škoda
Service Partner. You should, however, proceed as follows if you wish to replace the
battery yourself:
– Fold open the key.

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!

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 lock or unlock ma nually the other doors and the boot lid.


After closing the boot lid, it is automatically locked within 2 seconds and the
anti-theft alarm sy stem* is activated. This applies only if the vehicle was locked
before closing the boot lid.

The function of the hand grip above the li cence plate is deactivated when starting
off or as of a speed of more than 5 km/hour for vehicles with central locking. The func-


to unlock and lock the car,

unlocking boot lid,

electrically open and close the windows.
The transmitter with the battery is incorporated 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. 10 m. But this range can be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The remote control 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 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 deacti vated 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, ideally by a specialist garage, 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 vehicle cannot be locked using the remote
control.
