WARNING
■ Ensure that the lock is properly engaged after closing the boot lid. Other-
wise, the boot lid might open suddenly when driving even if the boot lid lock
was closed - risk of accident!
■ Never drive with the boot lid fully opened or slightly ajar otherwise exhaust
gases may get into the interior of the vehicle - risk of poisoning!
■ Never position any body parts under the cover of the locking eye trim panel
for the boot lid lock - risk of injury! ■ Do not press on the rear window when closing the boot lid, it could crack -
risk of injury! Note
■ After closing the boot lid, it is automatically locked within 1 second and the
anti-theft alarm system is activated. This applies only if the vehicle was locked
before closing the boot lid. ■ The function of the hand grip on the bottom edge of the boot lid is deactivated
when starting off or from a speed of more than 5
km/h. The function of the hand
grip is activated again after stopping the vehicle and after opening the driver or
front passenger door or after pressing the button 1
on the remote control key.
■ Repeated opening and closing of the boot lid can lead to a temporary failure of
the function due to the overheating protection of the motors of the Twindoor
system. Ð

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 35.
If the vehicle was locked with the button
 on the remote control key before the
boot lid was closed, the lid is automatically locked as soon as it is closed.
The delayed automatic locking function of the boot lid can be activated on your
vehicle. The following applies following activation of this function: If the boot lid
was locked with the button  on the remote control key 2
» page 31, then it is
possible to open the lid within a limited period of it being closed.
If you wish, a

ŠKODA Service Partner can activate or deactivate the delayed auto-
matic locking of the boot lid. The Service Partner will also provide any further in-
formation that is required.
ä
ä There is a risk of unwanted entry into the vehicle before the boot lid is locked au-
tomatically. The vehicle should therefore always be locked with the button  on
the radio remote control. Ð Emergency unlocking

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Preliminary information 38
Description of the operation 39
Audible signals 39
Adjusting the top position of the lid 40
Operational problems 40
Ð Preliminary information
Fig. 21
Operation of the lid Fig. 22
Operation of the lid: Button on the centre console/designation of
the areas First read and observe the introductory information given on page
38. If the electrical opening of the lid was triggered using the button on the remote
control key or the button on the centre console, 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 dur-
ing 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 activa-
ted.
Manually opening and closing the boot lid is only possible in exceptional cases,
and must be completed slowly and without sudden movements as close to the
centre of the lid as possible. Handling the sides of the lid can damage the electric
lid.
CAUTION
■ 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 lug-
gage rack or on the trailer, etc.) - risk of causing damage to the lid!
■ Ensure that there is at least 10 cm of clearance above the opened boot lid (e.g.
distance from the garage ceiling). Otherwise, 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 causing damage to 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 the lid is closed manually, it must be ensured that when moving the lid into
the lock, pressure is applied to the centre edge of the lid above the ŠKODA logo. Note
■ In certain circumstances, if the lid is loaded (e.g by a thick layer of snow), the
opening process of the lid can be interrupted. The lid must be protected to ensure
its electrical functionality. ■ If necessary, we recommend that you ask a ŠKODA Service Partner. Ð

Description of the operation
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 38.When operating the lid, the system distinguishes 3 areas » Fig. 22 on page 38
where the function of the individual operating elements changes. The end posi-
tions of the lid - fully closed in the secured lock and fully opened - differ as well.

Window in the front passenger door and the rear doors open/
close
Fig. 24
Arrangement of the button on
the rear door
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 40.
There is a button in the front passenger door and in the rear doors for that win-
dow.
Opening
› A window is opened by pressing lightly on the respective button in the door.
The opening process stops when one releases the button.
› Additionally, the window can be opened automatically (fully open) by pressing
the button to the stop. Renewed pressing of the button causes the window to
stop immediately.
Closing
› A window is closed through pulling lightly on the respective button in the door.
The closing process stops when one releases the button.
› Additionally, the window can be closed automatically (fully closed) by pulling
the button to the stop. Renewed pulling of the button causes the window to
stop immediately. ÐForce limiter of the power windows
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 40.
The electrically operated power windows are fitted with a force limiter. It reduces
the risk of bruises or injuries when closing the windows.
ä
ä If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down
by several centimetres.
If the obstacle prevents the window from being closed during the next 10 sec-
onds, the closing process is interrupted once again and the window goes down by
several centimetres.
If you attempt to close the window again within 10
seconds of the window being
moved down for the second time, even though the obstacle was not yet been re-
moved, the closing process is only stopped. During this time it is not possible to
automatically close the window. The force limiter is still switched on.
The force limiter is only switched off if you attempt to close the window again
within the next 10 seconds - the window will now close with full force!
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force limiter is switched on again. Ð Window convenience operation
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 40.
The electrically powered windows can be opened and closed as follows when un-
locking and locking the vehicle.

42 Using the system

CAUTION
During the winter it may be necessary to remove any ice and snow in the vicinity
of the sliding/tilting roof before opening it to prevent any damage to the opening
mechanism and seal. ÐConvenience operation
An open sliding/tilting roof can also be closed from the outside.
› Press and hold the lock button
 on the remote control key or hold the key in
the locking cylinder of the driver's door in the lock position, or with the KESSY
system, keep your finger on the sensor 1
» Fig. 13 on page 32 » .
The closing operation stops immediately when you release the key or the lock
button. WARNING
Close the sliding/tilting roof carefully - risk of injury! The force limiter does not
operate with the convenience closing. ÐElectric sliding/tilting roof with solar cells
If there is sufficient bright sunlight, the solar cells on the sliding/tilting roof deliv-
er power for the fresh air blower. Further information » page 97, Climatronic
(automatic air conditioning system) .
