The display is shown in steps of 10 km. After lighting up of the indicator light
the display is shown in steps of 5 km.
The fuel consumption over the last 50 km is used to calculate the information.
The range will increase if you drive in a more economical manner.
If the memory is set to zero (after disconnecting the battery), a fuel consump- tion of 10 l./100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is updated
according to the style of driving.
Distance travelled
The distance travelled since the memory was last erased is displayed.
If you want to measure the distance travelled from a particular moment in
time, reset the memory to zero at that moment in time » page 39, Memory .
The maximum distance indicated in both memories is 1 999 km. ( ) and
9 999 km ( ). The indicator is set back to zero if this period is exceeded.
Average speed
The average speed since the memory was last erased is displayed in km/hour .
To determine the average speed over a certain period of time, set the memory
to zero at the start of the measurement » page 39, Memory .
After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 300 m driven.
The display is updated regularly while you are driving.
Current driving speed
The current speed displayed is identical to the display on the speedometer3
» Fig. 19 on page 26 .
Oil temperature
If the engine oil temperature is in the range of 80-110 °C, the engine operating
temperature has been reached.
If the oil temperature is lower than 80 °C or above 110 °C, avoid high engine
revs, full throttle and high engine loads.
If the oil temperature is lower than 50 °C or if a fault in the system for check-
ing the oil temperature is present,
.
symbols are displayed instead of the oil
temperature.

Your car is equipped with a central locking system.
The central locking system allows you to lock and unlock all doors, the fuel fill-
er flap and tailgate at the same time.
The safe securing system » page 47 is integrated in the central locking sys-
tem. Once the car is locked from the outside, the door locks 1)
are automatically
blocked by the safe securing system »
.
The following is true after unlocking
› The doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap are unlocked.
› The interior light, which is switched by the door contact, comes on.
› The safe securing system is switched off 1)
.
› The indicator light in the driver door stops flashing.
› The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated 2)

› The anti-theft alarm system is activated 2)
.
Displaying an error
If the indicator light in the driver's door initially flashes quickly for around 2
seconds, and then lights up for 30 seconds without interruption before flash-
ing again slowly, you will need to seek the assistance of a specialist garage.
Failure of the central locking
Upon failure of the central locking system, only the driver's door can be un-
locked or locked using the key. The other doors and the tailgate can be emer-
gency locked or emergency released.
› Emergency locking of the door
» page 161.
› Emergency unlocking of the boot lid
» page 162.WARNING■
Never leave the key in the vehicle when you exit the vehicle. Unauthor-
ized persons, such as children, for example, could lock the car, turn on the
ignition or start the engine - there is a danger of injury and accidents!■
When leaving the vehicle, never leave persons who are not completely in-
dependent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle. The children might,
for example, release the handbrake or take the vehicle out of gear. The ve-
hicle could then start to move – risk of injury and accidents! These individu- als might also not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help
themselves. Can be fatal at very high or very low temperatures!
■
If the car is locked from the outside and the Safelock system is switched
on, there must not be any person in the car as it is then not possible 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.
CAUTION
■ Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.■
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
etc.) have a negative effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and ig-
nition lock.
■
The battery must be replaced if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
does react to the remote control at less than approx. 3 metres
away » page 161 .
■
When leaving the vehicle, always check if it is locked.
1)
This function only applies to certain countries.
2)
Applies to vehicles with an anti-theft alarm system.
45Unlocking and opening
Note■If you lose a key, please contact a specialist garage, which will be able to pro-
vide you with a new one.■
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 vehicle.

the remote control key, the battery is empty.
Replace the battery » page 161.
CAUTION
■
Operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by signal inter-
ference from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the same fre-
quency range (e.g. mobile phone, TV transmitter).■
Only operate the remote control when the doors and boot lid are closed and
the vehicle is in your line of sight.
■
If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote con-
trol key.
■
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.
Note
A ŠKODA partner can also activate/deactivate the acoustic signals on vehicles
with an anti-theft alarm system.1)

The anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against people
trying to break into the vehicle.
The alarm system triggers audible and visual signals if an attempt is made to
break into the vehicle (hereafter referred to only as alarm).
When is the alarm triggered? › Opening the bonnet.
› Opening the boot lid.
› Opening the doors.
› Manipulation of the ignition lock.
› Vehicle inclination
» page 50.
› Movement in the vehicle
» page 50.
› Sudden and significant voltage drop of the electrical system.
› Uncoupling the trailer
» page 116, Driving with a trailer .
› Unlocking the driver's door with the key using the lock cylinder (if subse-
quently within 15 s, the ignition is not turned on). For some countries that the
alarm is triggered immediately after unlocking.
Switching off the alarm
The alarm is switched off by unlocking the vehicle or switching on the ignition.
CAUTION
Before leaving the vehicle, check that the doors and windows are closed in or-
der to ensure that the alarm system is fully operational.
Note
The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years.49Unlocking and opening
Activating/deactivatingRead and observe
on page 49 first.
Activating
The alarm system is activated automatically approximately 30 seconds after
the vehicle is locked.
If the vehicle is unlocked and a door or the boot lid not opened within the next
30 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically and the safe securing sys-
tem or anti-theft alarm system will be switched back on. This function is inten-
ded to prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally.
Deactivating
The alarm system is deactivated automatically after the vehicle is unlocked. If
the vehicle is not opened within 30 seconds, the alarm system is automatically
activated again.
Interior monitor and towing protection

Button for interior monitor and
towing protection
Read and observe on page 49 first.
The interior monitor detects movements inside the car and then triggers the
alarm.
The tow-away protection triggers the alarm if a vehicle is registered as being
on an inclination.
Activating
The interior monitor and the towing protection are activated automatically af-
ter the vehicle is locked.
Deactivating
›
Switch off the ignition.
› Open the driver door.›Press the symbol button
» Fig. 33 on the B column of the driver's side. The
illumination of the symbol
in the button changes from red to orange.›
Lock the vehicle within 30 seconds.
Deactivate the interior monitor and the towing protection if there is a possibili-
ty of the alarm being triggered by movements (e.g. by children or animals)
within the vehicle interior or if the vehicle has to be transported (e.g. by train
or ship) or towed.
CAUTION
■ The opened glasses storage compartment reduces the effectiveness of the
interior monitor. To ensure the full functionality of the interior monitor, the
glasses storage compartment must always be closed before locking the vehi-
cle.■
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
activated.
