Child safety lock

Central locking system

The child safety lock prevents the rear door from being opened from

the inside.

Description

Unlocking or locking causes all the doors and the fuel filler flap* to be unlocked or

locked at the same time by the central locking system (as long as it is not set differ-

ently in the menu Setup (settings) - Convenience information display*). The boot

lid is unlocked when opening. It can be opened by pressing the hand grip above the

licence plate ⇒ page 48.

Operation of the central locking system is possible:

from the outside using the vehicle key ⇒ page 46,

direction of the arrow ⇒ fig. 40.

If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system ⇒ page 45 is not operating, the

indicator light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts

to flash slowly after about 30 seconds.

Switching child safety lock off

–

Use the vehicle key to turn the slit to the right against the direction of

the arrow.

If the indicator light first of all flashes fast for about 2 seconds, afterwards lights up

for about 30 seconds and then flashes slowly, there is a fault in the system of the

central locking or the interior monitor* ⇒ page 51. Visit a specialist garage to

obtain assistance.

Unlocking and locking 45

Opening a single door*

Safe securing

This function allows one to just unlock the driver's door. The other doors and the

fuel filler flap* remain locked and are only unlocked after repetitive unlocking.

The central locking system is equipped with a safe securing system. Locking the

vehicle from the outside causes the door locks to be automatically blocked. It is not

possible to open the doors with the door handle either from the inside or from the

outside. This acts as an effective deterrent for attempts to break into your vehicle.

If you wish, you can have your authorised Škoda Service Partner activate the func-

tion of the single door opening mode.

Automatic locking*

You can deactivate the safe securing system by locking twice within 2°seconds.

All the doors and the boot lid are locked automatically once the car reaches a speed

of about 15 km/h.

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 slowly again after about

30°seconds.

If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked again. In

addition, it is possible for the driver to unlock the car by pressing the central locking

button  or by pulling the door opening lever.

The safe securing system is again activated the next time the vehicle is unlocked and

locked again.

If you wish, your Škoda Dealer can activate the function of the automatic locking

mode.

The doors can be opened from the inside if the vehicle is locked and the safe

securing system is deactivated:

•

The door is unlocked by actuating the door-opening lever.

The door opens upon actuating the door-opening lever again.

WARNING

Locking the doors prevents involuntary opening in an exceptional situation

(an accident). Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from

outside, for example at road crossings. Locked doors do, however, make it

more difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency - danger to

life!

WARNING

If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is acti-

vated, there must not be any person and animals in the vehicle 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 emer-

gency - hazard!

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 vehicle.

Only the front doors can be unlocked and locked using the key if the central

locking system fails. You can lock or unlock manually the other doors and the boot

lid.

Note

•

The anti-theft alarm system* is also activated with the deactivated safe securing

system when locking the vehicle. The interior monitor* is however not activated.
