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

Safe securing system
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 pointed out by the following message on the display of the in-
strument cluster after switching out 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 safe lock 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 54.
The indicator light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out
and starts to flash at longer intervals after about 30 seconds.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is switched off, the door
can be opened separately from the inside by a single pull on opening lever.
The SafeLock switches on the next time the vehicle is locked.
WARNINGIf the car is locked and the safe securing system activated, no people must
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
rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!

located. The other doors and the boot lid are only unlocked when the unlock-
ing 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 possible the re-
lease of both doors on one side as well as the fuel filler flap, depending on the
area in which the key is located. The other doors and the boot lid are only un-
locked when the unlocking is repeated.
Unlock all doors
The function allows you to unlock all doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap.
Automatic locking/unlocking
This function allows you to lock all doors and the boot lid from a speed of
about 15 km/h. The button in the handle of the boot lid is deactivated.

Notes from the factory or from the ŠKODA Original accessory delivered trim.
▶ When using an anti-theft wheel bolt, make sure that this has been fitted ac-
cording to the position marked on the back of the wheel cover position.
▶ On the back of the wheel cover, the position for the anti-theft wheel bolt is
marked by means of a symbol. If the wheel cover is set outside the position
marked for the anti-theft wheel bolt, there is a risk of damaging the wheel
cover.
If wheel trims are fitted, an adequate flow of air must be assured in order to
cool the brake system.
162Do-it-yourself
The jump-start cable must be connected to the engine earthing point C» Fig. 172 only on vehicles with the START-STOP system.
Starting engine›
Start the engine on the vehicle providing the power and allow it to idle.
›
Start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
›
If the engine does not start, halt the attempt to start the engine after 10 sec-
onds and wait for 30 seconds before repeating the process.
›
Remove the jump start cables in the reverse order as attachment.
Engines in vehicles with the vehicle battery in the boot
The positive terminal

.
›
Clamp the positive terminal of the jumper cable to the position
A
» Fig. 173 .
›
Clamp the negative terminal of the jumper cable to the earthing point of the
engine
D
» Fig. 172 or to a metal part firmly connected to the engine block or
directly to the engine block.
›
Remove the jump start cables in the reverse order as attachment.
Both batteries must have a rated voltage of 12 V. The capacity (Ah) of the bat-
tery supplying the power must not be significantly less than the capacity of
the discharged battery in your vehicle.
Jump-start cables
Only use jump-start cables which have an adequately large cross-section and
insulated terminal clamps. Observe the instructions of the jumper lead manu-
facturer.
Positive cable – colour coding in the majority of cases is red.
Negative cable – colour coding in the majority of cases is black.
WARNING■
Do not clamp the jump-start cable to the negative terminal of the dis-
charged battery. There is the risk of detonating gas seeping out of the bat-
tery being ignited by the strong spark resulting from the engine being star-
ted.■
The non-insulated parts of the terminal clamps must never touch each
other – there is a risk of short circuit!
WARNING (Continued)■ The jump-start cable connected to the positive terminal of the battery
must not come into contact with electrically conducting parts of the vehicle
– there is a risk of short circuit!■
Route the jump-start cables so that they cannot be caught by any rotat-
ing parts in the engine compartment.

When towing, the following guidelines must be observed.
Vehicles with manual transmission may be towed in with a tow bar or a tow
rope or with the front or rear wheels raised.
Vehicles with automatic transmission may be towed in with a tow bar or a tow
rope or with the front wheels raised. If the vehicle is raised at the rear, the au-
tomatic gearbox will be damaged! If possible, the vehicle should be towed with
the engine running or at least with the ignition on.
