Unlocking and locking
Vehicle key
Description Fig. 9 Set of keys without remote control/Keys with remote control key
Two keys are provided with the vehicle. Depending on the equipment, your vehi-
cle can be equipped with keys without radio remote control ⇒
 fig. 9 - left, or with
radio remote control ⇒ fig. 9 - right. 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 engine 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 steering lock might otherwise engage 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 an authorised ŠKODA Service Partner if you lose a key since he
can obtain a new one for you. 
Changing the battery in the remote control key Fig. 10 Remote control key - remove cover/remove battery
Each remote control key contains a battery which is housed under the cover
B ⇒ 
fig. 10 . If the battery is discharged, the red warning light A does not flash after
you press a button on the remote control key ⇒

  fig. 9 . 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 discharged
battery yourself:
– Fold open the key.
– Press off the battery cover with your thumb or using a flat screwdriver at the
points of the arrows 1 .
– Remove the discharged battery from the key by pressing the battery down-
wards at the point of the arrow 2
⇒
 fig. 10.
– Insert the new battery. Ensure that the “+” symbol on the battery is facing up-
wards. The correct polarity is shown on the battery cover.
– Position the battery cover on the key and press on it until it is heard to lock in
place. £28
Unlocking and locking

For the sake of the environment
Dispose of a used battery in accordance with environmental regulations. Note
● Pay attention to the correct polarity when changing the battery.
● The replacement battery must have the same specification as the original bat-
tery.
● If it is still not be possible to unlock or lock the vehicle with the remote control
key even after replacing the battery, this means that the system has to be
synchronised ⇒ page 35. 
Electronic immobiliser The electronic immobiliser prevents the vehicle being operated by
an unauthorised person.
An electronic chip is integrated in the head of the key. The immobiliser is deactiva-
ted with the aid of this chip when the key is inserted in the ignition lock. The elec-
tronic 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. 
Locking/Unlocking Valid 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 pressing the securing knobs from the inside.
The doors cannot be opened from the outside when the securing knobs have
been pressed. The vehicle doors 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 front passenger door are locked by
pressing the securing knob and slamming the door closed.
● Please refer to the safety guidelines ⇒   in Description on page 30.

Child safety lock The child safety lock prevents the rear door from being opened
from the inside.
Fig. 11 Child safety locks on the rear
doors
The rear doors are equipped with a child safety 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 arrow ⇒

 fig. 11.
Switching child safety lock off
– Use the vehicle key to turn the slit to the right against the direction of the ar-
row. £ 29

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 Description Unlocking 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 ⇒ page 33
.
Operation of the central locking system is possible:
● from the outside using the vehicle key ⇒
 page 31;
● using the buttons for the central locking system ⇒  page 32;
● with a remote control key ⇒  page 34,
Indicator light in the driver's door
After locking the vehicle, the warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick
succession, afterwards it begins to flash evenly at longer intervals.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system ⇒ page 30 is not operating,
the indicator light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and
starts to flash evenly at longer intervals 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 36. Visit a specialist garage to
obtain assistance.
Convenience operation of windows
One can open and close the electrically powered windows when unlocking and
locking the vehicle ⇒ page 37.
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.
This function can be activated/deactivated by a specialist garage. Automatic locking and unlocking
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.
This function can be activated/deactivated by a specialist garage. WARNING
Locking the doors prevents that doors open on their own in an exceptional sit-
uation (accident). Locked doors also prevent unauthorised entry into the vehi-
cle from outside, for example at road crossings. Locked doors 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 vehi-
cle.
● Only the front door which is fitted with a locking cylinder can be unlocked and
locked using the key if the central locking system fails. You can lock or unlock
manually the other doors and the boot lid.
–Emergency locking of the door ⇒
 page 32.
– Emergency unlocking of the boot lid ⇒ page 33. 
Safe securing The central locking system can be equipped with a
safe securing system. Locking
the vehicle from the outside causes the door locks to be automatically blocked.
The warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it
begins to flash evenly at longer intervals. It is not possible to open the doors with
the door handle either from the inside or from the outside. This acts as an effec-
tive 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 warning light in the driver door
flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts to flash evenly at longer in-
tervals after about 30°seconds. £30
Unlocking and locking

Remote control
Description You can use the remote control key:
●
to unlock and lock the vehicle;
● unlocking boot lid;
● electrically open and close the windows.
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. 10 m. But this range 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 in-
stalled, 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. Note
● The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched
on.
● The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interfer-
ence 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 central locking or anti-theft alarm system
does react to the remote control at less than 3
metres away ⇒ page 28.
● If the driver door is opened, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote
control. Unlocking and locking car Fig. 17 Remote control key
