If you wish to change the set speed limit, it is changed in 5 km/h intervals (e.g. the
accepted speed of 47
km/h increases to 50 km/h or decreases to 45 km/h).
› Confirm the speed limit that was set by pressing button B
again, or wait ap-
prox. 5 seconds until the setting is saved automatically (the value stops flash-
ing).
Change or delete speed limit
› With button A
» Fig. 7
on page 12, choose the menu point Warning against ex-
cessive speeds .
› Pressing the button B
deletes the speed limit.
› Pressing the button B
activates the ability to change the speed limit.
If the set speed limit is exceeded, an audible signal will sound as a warning. At
the same time the message Warning against excessive speeds appears on the
display with the set limit value.
The set speed limit value remains stored even after switching off the ignition. ÐWarning lights

Using the system

Airbag system 
Monitoring the airbag system
The warning light  comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on.
There is a fault in the system if the warning light does not go out or flashes while
driving » . This also applies if the warning light does not come on when the ig-
nition is switched on.
The functionality of the airbag system is also monitored electronically when one
airbag has been switched off.
The following situation applies if the front or side airbag or belt tensioner have
been switched off using the vehicle system tester:
› The warning light
 lights up for around 4
seconds after switching on the igni-
tion and then flashes approximately another 12 seconds in 2 second intervals.
The following situation applies if the airbag has been switched off using the
key switch for the airbag in the front passenger storage compartment:
› The warning light
 comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on;
› The deactivated airbag is indicated by the illumination of the warning light

If there is a fault, have the airbag system checked immediately by a ŠKODA
specialist garage. Otherwise, there is a risk of the airbag not being activated in
the event of an accident. ÐAutomatic gearbox 

Warning light 
Do not continue your journey if the warning light  lights up and an acoustic sig-
nal sounds. Switch off the engine and seek assistance from a

garage.
Warning light 
If the warning light  lights up and no gear can be selected, switch the ignition
on and off. If the warning light lights up after you switch on the ignition, seek as-
sistance from a ŠKODA specialist garage. If the warning light
 or warning light  lights up and an acoustic signal sounds,
this means that the automatic gearbox has overheated. Stop and allow the trans-
mission to cool down or drive more quickly than 20

km/h (12 mph).
If the warning light  lights up again, switch off the vehicle, shut off the engine
and allow the gearbox to cool down.

If the warning light  lights up, operate the handbrake.
Further information » page 69, Automatic gearbox AGB . WARNING
If you have to stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe dis-
tance from the traffic, switch off the engine and activate the hazard warning
light system » page 31. Ð Turn signal system 

Either the left  or right  warning light flashes depending on the position of the
turn signal lever.
If a turn signal light fails, the warning light flashes at twice its normal rate.
Switching off the hazard warning light system is switched on will cause all of the
turn signal lights as well as both warning lights to flash.

■
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 20.
■ If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote control
key. ÐUnlocking/locking

Unlocking
The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been un-
locked. If the vehicle is unlocked using button 1
and none of the doors or the
luggage compartment lid are opened within the next 30 seconds, the vehicle is
automatically locked again and the safe securing system is reactivated. This func-
tion is intended to prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally. Locking
The turn signal lights flash once to confirm that the vehicle has been correctly
locked.
If the doors or the luggage compartment lid remain open after the vehicle has
been locked, the turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.
WARNING
If the car is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is activated,
there must not be any person in the car as it is then not possible to open ei-
ther a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more diffi-
cult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – hazard! Note
■ Only operate the remote control when the doors and luggage compartment lid
are closed and the vehicle is in your line of sight. ■ To avoid the car being locked inadvertently once in the car, the lock button  of the remote control must not be pressed before the key is inserted into the ig-
nition lock. Should this happen, press the unlock button
 of the remote control.
Ð Synchronization
If the vehicle cannot be unlocked by actuating the remote control system then it
is possible that the code in the key and the control unit in the vehicle are no lon-
ger synchronised. This can occur when the buttons on the radio-operated key are
actuated a number of times outside of the operative range of the equipment or
the battery on the remote control was replaced.
This means it is necessary to synchronise the code as follows:
› press any button on the remote control key;
› pressing of the button means that the door will unlock with the key within 1 mi-
nute. Ð

Fog lights 30
Rear fog light 30
Parking light 30
Headlight beam adjustment 30
Switches for the hazard warning light system 31
Turn signal and main beam lever 31
On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in » Fig. 21 on page
29. The symbols which mark the switch po-
sitions are identical, however. WARNING
Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright enough
to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other oncom-
ing traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is dark or if visi-
bility is poor. CAUTION
■ The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with na-
tional legal requirements.
■ The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the lights. Note
■ If the light switch is in the position , the ignition key is removed and the driv-
er's door is open, an audible warning signal will sound. The audible warning signal
is switched off by means of the door contact when the driver's door is closed (ig-
nition off), however, the side lights remain on to illuminate the parked vehicle if
necessary. ■ The instruments are also illuminated when the side light or low beam light is
switched on. ■ In the event of cool or humid weather conditions, the headlights can be misted
up from inside. The temperature difference between interior and external area of
the headlight lenses is decisive. When the driving lights are switched on, the light
outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although the headlight
lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. It also concerns reverse light
and turn signal lights. This mist has no influence on the life of the lighting system. Ð Switching lights on and off

Always adjust the headlight range adjustment in such a way that:
■ it does not dazzle other road users, especially oncoming traffic;
■ and the range is sufficient for safe driving. Note
We recommend you adjust the headlight beam when the low beam is switched
on. ÐSwitches for the hazard warning light system
