Mobility warranty and ŠKODA extendedwarranty.
Mobility warranty
Mobility warranty provides a sense of security when travelling in your vehicle.
Should your car break down when you're on the move one day as a result of an
unexpected fault, you will be eligible for services to ensure your continued mobili-
ty as part of the mobility warranty, which includes the following: Breakdown serv- ice at the breakdown location and towing off to the ŠKODA service partner, tech-
nical assistance by phone or on-site operation.
If your vehicle is not repaired on the same day, the ŠKODA service partner may
provide further services as required, such as replacement transportation (bus,
train, etc.), a courtesy vehicle, etc.
You can obtain more information regarding terms and conditions for the provision
of mobility warranty for your vehicle from your ŠKODA partner. Here you will also
be given detailed terms and conditions for the mobility warranty with respect to
your vehicle. In the event that there is no mobility warranty coverage available for
your vehicle, you should check with any ŠKODA service partner about the possibil-
ity of a subsequent agreement.
Note
The mobility guarantee is only available for some countries.
Optional ŠKODA extended warranty
If you received an extended ŠKODA warranty when purchasing your new car, the
two-year ŠKODA warranty for damages to your ŠKODA vehicle will be extended
by the time you chose or until the chosen mileage limit has been reached, which-
ever occurs first.
The previously mentioned paint warranty and the warranty against rust perfora-
tion stay unaffected by the extended warranty.
Detailed conditions for the extended warranty are included in the extended war- ranty terms and conditions, which your ŠKODA partner will have given to you
upon purchasing your new vehicle.
NoteThe mobility guarantee and optional ŠKODA extended warranty are only available
for some countries.

27In setting up and locking, all doors are unlocked or locked together by the central
locking system. The boot lid is unlocked. The luggage compartment lid can then
be opened by pressing the button.
Automatic locking and unlocking
All the doors and the luggage compartment 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If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked again. It is
also possible for the driver to unlock the car by pressing the central locking but-
ton.
The doors can be unlocked and opened from the inside by a single pull on the
opening lever of the respective door.
Automatic locking and unlocking can be activated by a specialist garage on re-
quest.WARNINGLocked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside, for exam-
ple at road crossings. They do, however, make it more difficult for rescuers to
get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk 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.■
In case the key fails to operate the central locking, only the driver's door can be
unlocked or locked. The other doors and the tailgate can be manually locked or
unlocked. ■ Emergency locking of the door » page 25.

Safe securing systemFirst read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 25.
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 warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it be-gins to flash evenly at longer intervals. It is not possible to open the doors withthe door handle either from the inside or from the outside. This acts as an effec-
tive deterrent against 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 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.
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 door can
be opened from the inside by a single pull on opening lever of the respective
door.
WARNINGIf 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 – risk to life!
Note
You will be informed that the safe securing system has been activated after the
vehicle has been locked by means of the message   on the instrument clus-

With the remote control key, the vehicle can be locked or unlocked and the boot
lid unlocked.
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, thesystem must be initialised by a specialist garage. Only then can the remote con-
trol 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).
■
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 23.
■
If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote control
key.

Front seat heating
Fig. 37
Heated front seats
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 42.
The front seats can be heated electrically. In some seat versions, the seat back-
rest is heated as well.
The seat heating can only be switched on when the engine is running.
›
Press the symbol button 
or 
» Fig. 37 .
Pressing once switches the seat heating on at its maximum level.
With repeated pressing of the switch, the level of the seat heating is down-regu-
lated up to the switch-off. The level of the seat heating is indicated by the num-
ber of illuminated warning lights in the switch.WARNINGIf, as an occupant, you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity,
e.g. through medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes),
we recommend you do not use seat heating on the driver or front passenger
seat. This can lead to burns on the back, the posterior and the legs which are difficult to heal. If the seat heating is used, we recommend to make regular
breaks in your journey when driving long distances, so that the body can recu-
perate from the stress of the journey. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition.
CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply pressure at specific points to
avoid damaging the heating elements for the seat heaters.■
Do not turn on the seat heater if seats are not occupied.
■
Do not switch on the seat heating if the seats have objects attached to or
placed on them, for example a child seat, a bag, etc. A fault of the heating ele- ments in the seat heating can occur.
■
If additional seat covers or protective covers are attached to the seats, do not
turn on the seat heater - there is a risk of damaging the seat covers and seat
heating.
■
Do not clean the seats using moisture » page 120, Seat covers .
Note
If the on-board voltage drops, the seat heating is switched off automatically, in
order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control » page 137,
