Technical Data
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 36. Visit a specialist garage to obtain
assistance.
Convenience operation of the windows*
One can open and close the electrically powered windows when unlocking and
locking the vehicle page 39.
Opening a single door*
This function makes it poss ible to only unlock the driver's door. The other doors
remain locked and are only unlocked when the command is repeated.
If you wish, you can have your authorised Škoda Service Partner activate the func-
tion of the single door opening mode.
Automatic unlocking and 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If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked again.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 to unlock the car by pressing the central locking
button
 or by pulling the door opening lever.
If you wish, you can have a specialist gara ge activate the automatic locking function.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 do ors do, however, make it more difficult
for rescuers to get into the vehicl e 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.
•

locking system fails. You can lock or unlo ck manually the other doors and the boot
lid.
−Emergency locking of the door page 33.
− Emergency unlocking of the boot lid page 34.
Safe securingThe central locking system is equipped with a safe securing
2) system. Locking the
vehicle from the outside causes the door lock s 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 deterren t 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 operat ing, the warning light in the driver door
flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts to flash slowly again after
about 30°seconds.
The safe securing system is again activate d the next time the vehicle is unlocked
and locked again.
The doors can be opened from the inside if the vehicle is locked and the safe
securing system is deactivated:
•
The door is unlocked by actu ating the door-opening lever.
•
The door opens upon actuating the door-opening lever again.
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outsid e 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 acti vated with the deactivated safe securing
system when locking the vehicle. The interior monitor* is however not activated.2)Only valid for some countries.
