Automatic locking and unloc

are only unlocked after being unlocked again using the unlock button on the re-
mote control key
» Fig. 8 on page 27
or the central locking button » Fig. 11 on
page 30.
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If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked again. In
addition, it is possible for the driver or front passenger to unlock the car by press-
ing the central locking button  » page 30.
The vehicle doors can also be unlocked and opened by pulling once on the door
opening lever. WARNING
Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside, for exam-
ple at road crossings. Locked doors do, however, make it more difficult for res-
cuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency - danger to life! Note
■ You can have the individual settings activated by a ŠKODA
Service Partner or
you can activate them yourself with the help of the information display » page 16,
Settings. ■ 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 driver's door can be unlocked or locked using the key if the central
locking system fails » page 35. The other doors and the boot lid can be manually
locked or unlocked. ■ Emergency locking of the door »

page 35.
■ Emergency unlocking of the boot lid » page 37. ÐSafe securing system
The central locking system is equipped with a safe securing system. The door
locks are blocked automatically if the vehicle is locked from the outside. The indi-
cator 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 effective
deterrent for attempts to break into your vehicle. The safe securing system can be deactivated within 2 seconds by double locking
the vehicle.
If the safe securing system is not in operation:
› the indicator light in the driver door flashes rapidly for about 2

seconds, goes
out and starts to flash at regular, longer intervals after about 30 seconds;
› is the filler flap locked.
The safe securing system is activated again the next time the vehicle is unlocked
and locked.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is deactivated, the vehicle
can be opened from the inside by pulling the door opening lever. WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is acti-
vated, there must not be any person in the vehicle as it is then no longer pos-
sible 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 activated when the vehicle is locked even if the
safe securing system is deactivated. The interior monitor is however not activa-
ted. ■ After locking the vehicle, you will be informed that the safe securing system is
activated by means of the message CHECK DEADLOCK on the instrument cluster
display. On vehicles that are equipped with an information display, the following
message will appear Check deadlock! Owner's manual! appears.Ð

› unlock or open the boot lid,
› open and close the windows
»
page 42, Window convenience operation .
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the remote control
key. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle. The operating range of
the remote control key is approx. 30 m. But this range of the remote control 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 replaced, the
system must be initialised by a ŠKODA Service Partner. Only then can the remote
control key be used again. 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). £
