Checking the battery condition
If the red indicator light B » Fig. 31 does not flash when you press a button on
the remote control key, the battery is empty. Replace the battery » page 211.
CAUTION
■
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 operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by signal in-
terference from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the same
frequency range (e.g. mobile phone, TV transmitter).
Note
For vehicles with anti-theft alarm the acoustic signals can also be activated/
deactivated by locking/unlocking » page 45.
Unlocking / locking - KESSY

or
C
» Fig. 32 (about 1.5 meters away from
the vehicle).
Unlocking
›
Grab the door handle of the front door or cover the sensor

» Fig. 32 with
the whole palm of your hand » .
Locking
›
Touch the sensor
1
» Fig. 32 with your fingers.
On vehicles fitted with automatic gearbox, the selector lever must be moved
into the position P before unlocking.
Unlocking the boot lid

Press the button in the handle of the boot lid » page 55.
Switching off the safelock system
›
Touch the sensor
1
» Fig. 32 twice within 2 seconds with your fingers.
If you cover the sensor
2
at the same time as the sensor
1
when unlocking
the vehicle, it is not unlocked.
If the vehicle is locked via the sensor
1
, it will not be possible to unlock it
again in the following
2
seconds via the sensor 2 - prevents accidental un-
locking.
The KESSY system can find the valid key, even if it was left in the front of the
vehicle's roof for example
D
» Fig. 32 . It is therefore not always necessary to
know where the key is.
CAUTION
■ Do not use objects which might prevent direct contact between the hand
and the sensor.■
Some types of gloves can impair the function of the grip sensor.
■
After leaving the vehicle, it does not lock automatically, the procedure for
locking the vehicle must therefore be observed.
■
If the battery in the key is weak or discharged, the vehicle may not be un-
locked or locked via the KESSY system. In this case, use the emergency unlock-
ing or emergency locking on the driver's door » page 212.

Some manual skills are required to change a bulb. For this reason, we recom-
mend having bulbs replaced by a specialist garage or seeking other expert help
in the event of any uncertainties.
› Switch off the ignition and all of the lights before replacing a bulb.
› Faulty bulbs must only be replaced with the same type of bulbs. The designa-
tion is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
› A stowage compartment for replacement bulbs is located in a plastic box in
the spare wheel or underneath the floor covering in the boot.
WARNING■ Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
engine compartment » page 182.■
Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not suffi-
ciently illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficul-
ty by other road users.
■
Bulbs H7 H8 and H15 are pressurised and may burst when changing the
bulb - risk of injury! We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety
glasses when changing a bulb.
■
Gas discharge bulbs (xenon bulbs) operate with a high voltage, professio-
nal knowledge is required – risk of death!
■
Switch off the respective vehicle light when changing the bulb.
CAUTION
Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest
amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth,
napkin, or similar.
Note
■ This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is pos-
sible to replace the bulbs on your own without any complications arising. Other
bulbs must be replaced by a specialist garage.■
We recommend that a box of replacement bulbs always be carried in the ve-
hicle. Replacement bulbs can be purchased from ŠKODAOriginal Accessories.
■
We recommend having the headlight settings checked by a specialist garage
after replacing a bulb in the main, low or fog beam.
■
In case of failure of a xenon gas discharge lamp or an LED diode, visit a spe-
cialist garage.
