SmartGate is a system that transmits certain driving data (such as fuel con-
sumption, speed or similar) via Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct.
The ŠKODA compatible communications device (e.g. phone, tablet, notebook)
offer the possibility to further transmit the received data.
More information on available applications, a list of compatible communication
devices and on SmartGate, can be found on the ŠKODA website » Fig. 34.

WARNING■ The general binding country-specific regulations for operating communi-
cation devices in the vehicle must be observed.■
Never leave a communication device in the deployment area of an airbag,
on a seat, on the dash panel or any another area, from which it can be
thrown during a sudden braking manoeuvre, an accident or a collision - risk
of injury!
■
Never connect or disconnect a communication device while driving - risk
of accident!
CAUTION■ To increase the access security to the transmitted vehicle data, once the
ŠKODAapplication has been started, you are requested to change the pass-
word/PIN code if the default password/PIN code has not yet been changed
» page 48 , Password/PIN code change . It is not possible to start the
ŠKODAapplication without changing it.■
ŠKODA accepts no responsibility for any problems caused by incompatibility

Locking/unlocking the vehicle with the central locking buttonFig. 38
Central locking button
Read and observe and on page 50 first.
When the vehicle has not been locked from outside and no door is open, the 
button » Fig. 38 can be used to unlock or lock the vehicle.
The locking is shown by the illuminated symbol .
The central locking system also operates if the ignition is switched off.
The following applies after locking. ▶ Opening the doors and the boot lid from the outside is not possible.
▶ The doors can be unlocked and opened from the inside by a single pull on the
opening lever of the respective door.
WARNINGDoors locked from the inside make it difficult for rescuers to get into the
vehicle in an emergency – danger to life!
SafeLock
Read and observe
and on page 50 first.
As soon as the vehicle is locked from the outside, the safe lock prevents open-
ing the doors from the inside.
This function is highlighted by the following message on the display of the in-
strument cluster after switching off the ignition.
Check SAFELOCK! Owner´s manual!CHECK SAFELOCKAfter locking the vehicle, the warning light in the driver's door flashes for
around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it begins to flash evenly at
longer intervals.
Switching off
The SafeLock can be switched off in one of the following ways. ▶ By locking twice within 2 seconds.
▶ By disabling the button for interior monitoring and anti-towing » page 55.
The warning icon in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out
and starts to flash regularly at longer intervals after about 30 seconds.
If the vehicle is locked and the SafeLock system is switched off, the door can
be opened separately from the inside by a single pull on the opening lever.
The SafeLock switches on the next time the vehicle is locked.WARNINGIf the car is locked and the SafeLock system activated, no-one may remain
in the car as it will then not be possible to either unlock a door or open a
window from the inside. The locked doors make it more difficult for rescu-
ers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!
Individual settings

located. The other doors and the boot lid are only unlocked when unlocking is
repeated.
Unlocking a vehicle side door
This function enables you to unlock both doors on the driver's side and the
fuel filler flap with the radio remote control unit. KESSY makes it possible to
unlock both doors on one side as well as the fuel filler flap, depending on the
