Electronic immobiliser

So long as the child safety lock is switched on it is not possible to open the door

from the inside with the door opening lever. In this case the door can be opened

only from the outside.

The electronic immobiliser prevents the vehicle being operated by

an unauthorised person.



An electronic chip is integrated in the head of the key. The immobiliser is deactiva-

ted with the aid of this chip when the key is inserted in the ignition lock. The elec-

tronic immobiliser is automatically activated when you withdraw the ignition key

from the lock.

Central locking system

Description

Note

It is only possible to start the engine of your car with a Genuine ŠKODA key with

the matching code.

When using the central locking and unlocking system, all the doors and the fuel

filler flap are locked or unlocked at the same time (if it was not set differently in

the menu point Settings - Convenience of the information display). The boot lid is

unlocked when opening. Afterwards you can open the boot lid by pressing the

34 Unlocking and locking

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

up for about 30 seconds without interruption and then flashes slowly, there is a

fault in the system of the central locking or in the interior monitor and in the tow-

ing protection monitoring ⇒ꢀpage 46. Visit a specialist garage to obtain assis-

tance.

If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked again.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

addition, it is possible for the driver or front passenger to unlock the vehicle by

pressing the central locking button  ⇒ꢀpage 35 or by pulling the door opening

lever on one of the front doors.

You can have the function of the automatic locking activated by a specialist ga-

rage on request or you can also activate it yourself with the aid of the Information

display ⇒ꢀpage 19.

Convenience operation of windows

One can open and close the windows when opening and closing the vehicle

WARNING

Opening a single door

Locking the doors prevents involuntary opening in an exceptional situation

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

side, 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!

This function makes it possible to only unlock the driver's door. The other doors

and the fuel filler flap remain locked and are only unlocked after repetitive unlock-

ing.

Unlocking the vehicle with the KESSY system

This selection function enables to unlock all the doors, individual doors, both

doors on the left and right vehicle side or to unlock the driver and front passenger

door at the same time. The other doors and the fuel filler flap remain locked and

are only unlocked after repetitive unlocking using the unlock button on the re-

mote control key ⇒ꢀfig. 10 or the button for the central locking system ⇒ꢀfig. 13.

You can have the function opening a single door activated by an authorised

ŠKODA Service Partner on request or you can activate it yourself with the aid of

the Information display ⇒ꢀpage 19.

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. The

warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it be-

gins to flash evenly at longer intervals. It is not possible to open the doors with

the door handle either from the inside or from the outside. This acts as an effec-

tive deterrent for attempts to break into your vehicle.

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

WARNING

Button for the central locking system

The central locking system also operates if the ignition is switched off. All the

doors and the boot lid are locked. Children should never be left unattended in

the vehicle since it is difficult to provide assistance from the outside when the

doors are locked. Locked doors make it difficult for rescuers to get into the ve-

hicle in an emergency - hazard!

Operational problems

If the battery is disconnected and reconnected while the boot lid is open, it is nec-

essary to activate the system of the electric boot lid. Activating means the initiali-

sation of the control unit by manually closing the lid. Thus, the end position of the

lid is stored under fully closed in secured lock.

Anti-theft alarm system

Description

Display of the locking

The turn signal lights flash once to confirm that the vehicle has been correctly

locked.

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

ing to break into the vehicle. The system triggers audible and visual warning sig-

nals if an attempt is made to break into the vehicle.

If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle has been locked, the turn

signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.

How is the alarm system activated?

The anti-theft alarm system is activated when the vehicle is locked with the key in

the driver's door or by using the radio remote control ⇒ꢀpage 38, Emergency un-

locking and locking of the driver's door. The door contact monitoring is activated

approx. 15 seconds after the locking. The interior and the towing protection moni-

toring are activated approx. 30 seconds after the locking. If a door is opened dur-

ing activation, the monitoring is only activated 5 seconds after closing.

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!

How is the alarm switched off?

You switch the alarm off if you unlock the vehicle with the radio remote control or

if you switch the ignition on.

Note

The interior monitor and the towing protection monitoring are switched on again

automatically the next time the car is locked.

●

The working life of the alarm siren is 6 years. More detailed information is

available by a specialist garage.

Before leaving the car, check that all the doors, windows and the electric slid-

ing/tilting roof are properly closed in order to ensure that the anti-theft alarm sys-

tem is fully operational.

Note

●

You can switch the interior monitor and the towing protection monitoring off if

there is a possibility that movements from (e.g. children or animals) inside the ve-

hicle interior or if the vehicle must be transported (e.g. by train or ship) or towed,

might trigger the alarm.

●

Coding of the radio remote control and the receiver unit precludes the use of

the radio remote control from other vehicles.
