The following applies if your vehicle has been locked using the central locking
button:
›
It is not possible to open the doors or the boot lid from the outside (safety fea-
ture, e.g. when stopping at traffic lights etc.).
›
Doors can be unlocked individually from the inside and opened by pulling the
door opening lever.
›
If at least one door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked.
›
In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
are automatically unlocked from the inside in order to enable rescuers to gain
access to the vehicle.
By pressing and holding down the top or bottom part of the rocker switch in the
driver's door, the windows can be conveniently closed or opened.
WARNING
The central locking system also operates if the ignition is switched off. Chil-
dren should never be left unattended in the vehicle since it is difficult to pro-
vide assistance from the outside when the doors are locked. Locked doors
make it difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency - hazard!
Note
If the safe securing system is activated» page 34, the door opening lever and the
central locking buttons do not operate.

The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the remote control
key. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle. The operating range of
the remote control key is approx. 10 m. But this range of the remote control can
be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The key has a fold-open key bit which can be used for unlocking and locking the
car manually and also for starting the engine.
If a lost key is replaced or if the receiver unit has been repaired or replaced, the
system must be initialised by a ŠKODA Service Partner. Only then can the remote
control key be used again.
Note
■
The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched
on.
■
The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interfer-
ence from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the same frequency
range (e.g. mobile phone, TV transmitter).
