Unlocking and locking

Key

Key ring

The key ring only has the key number on it which is essential for producing other

keys. This number can be used to order replacement keys from the Škoda Service

Partners.

The key ring with the number should be separately and securely kept in safe

keeping since keys can only be replaced if they are lost or damaged by giving this

number. You should also therefore give this key ring to the purchaser when selling

the vehicle.

WARNING

•

Always withdraw the key whenever you leave the vehicle - even if it is

only for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the

vehicle. The children might otherwise start the engine or operate electrical

equipment (e.g. power windows) - risk of injury!

•

Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle

has come to a stop. The steering lock might otherwise engage unintention-

ally - risk of accident!

Caution

•

Each key contains electronic components; therefore protect them against mois-

ture and severe shocks.

Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean as impurities (textile fibres, dust

etc.) have a negative effect on proper operation of the keys and the ignition lock.

matching code ⇒ page 29.

Central locking system

Child safety lock

Description

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

the inside.

Unlocking or locking the vehicle causes all doors to be unlocked or locked at the

same time by the central locking system. The boot lid is unlocked when opening. It

can be opened by pressing the hand grip above the licence plate.

Operation of the central locking system is possible:

•

from the outside using the vehicle key ⇒ page 34

using the buttons for the central locking system ⇒ page 35

by using the radio remote control ⇒ page 37

Convenience operation of windows

34 Unlocking and locking

If you wish, your Škoda Service Partner can convert the central locking system of

your car to the automatic locking mode.

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

locked again.

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

securing system is deactivated:

WARNING

•

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

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

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

•

After unlocking the vehicle see, if the securing knobs are located on all doors at

the bottom.

•

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.

Note

•

Should the central locking system not operate properly, you can lock and unlock

the front doors and the boot lid with the key. Emergency unlocking of fuel filler flap

The anti-theft alarm system is also armed when the car is closed without activating

the safe securing system. In this case, always switch off the interior monitoring

sensor* ⇒ page 40 first of all to avoid an alarm being triggered unintentionally.

⇒ page 183.

Safe securing

Unlocking the vehicle using the key

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 pull out the locking buttons. The indicator light in the driver's door

flashes. 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.

You can deactivate the safe securing system. This is done by locking the vehicle with

the key or radio-operated key twice within 2 seconds.

the vehicle

Deactivating the safe securing system means that the warning light next to the

securing knob in the driver's door will not flash. This is not the case, however, for an

activated anti-theft alarm system* since the indicator light is showing that the

system is active ⇒ page 39.

WARNING

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

vated, there must not be any person 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 emergency - hazard!

Description

The anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against people seeking

to break into the vehicle. The system triggers audible and visual warning signals if

an attempt is made to break into the vehicle.

Note

How is the alarm system switched on?

•

Operate the radio remote control only when the doors and boot lid are closed

and you have visual contact with the vehicle.

The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically when the vehicle is locked

with the key on the closed driver's door or by using the remote control. It is acti-

vated 30 seconds after closing the door.

•

Once in the car, you must not press the lock button  of the master key before

inserting the key into the ignition lock in order to avoid the car being inadvertently

locked and, in addition, the anti-theft alarm system* being switched on. Should this

happen, press the unlock button  of the master key.

How is the alarm system switched off?

The anti-theft alarm system is switched off if the vehicle is unlocked by only using

the remote control. The vehicle is automatically locked again if the vehicle is not

opened within 30 seconds after reactivating the anti-theft alarm system.

Synchonisation of the remote control

Once you unlock the vehicle by inserting the key into the driver door you then have

to insert the key into the ignition lock and switch the ignition on within 15 seconds

after opening the door in order to deactivate the anti-theft alarm system. The

alarm will be triggered if you do not switch on the ignition within 15 seconds.

If the vehicle cannot be unlocked by actuating the remote control system then it is

possible that the code in the key and the control unit in the vehicle are no longer

synchronised. This can occur when the buttons on the radio-operated key are actu-

ated a number of times outside of the operative range of the equipment or the

battery on the remote control was replaced.

When is the alarm triggered?

The following security areas of the locked vehicle are monitored:

This means it is necessary to synchronise the code as follows:
