cence plate » page 33, Open/close.
Indicator light in the driver's door
After locking the vehicle, the indicator 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 28 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 flashes fast for about 2 seconds, then lights up for about
30 seconds continuously and then flashes slowly, there is a fault in the central
locking system or in the interior monitor and in the towing protection » page 32.
Seek help from a ŠKODA specialist garage.
