The specialist garage will inform you about the type of service interval, the op-

tion to change it, and the service scope.
The service interval display in the display of the instrument cluster will notify

you when a service is due.

Proof of service

A specialist garage will confirm the corresponding service record in the service

information system called Digital Service Plan.
We recommend that you always print out the respective service record.

Note

The customer is responsible for covering the cost of all services including

changing or replenishing the oil, even during the warranty period, unless stated

otherwise in the ŠKODA AUTO warranty terms or other binding agreements.

Unlocking and opening

Unlocking and locking



Introduction

The vehicle is equipped with a central locking system which makes it possible

to unlock / lock all the doors, the fuel filler flap and boot lid simultaneously.
The door unlocking can be adjusted individually

» page 54

The unlocking of the vehicle is displayed by the turn signal lights flashing

twice.
If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next

45 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically.
The locking of the vehicle is displayed by the turn signal lights flashing once.
If the driver's door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked.
If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle doors have been

locked, the turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.

WARNING

■

Never leave the key in the vehicle when you exit the vehicle. Unauthorised

persons (e.g. children) could lock the vehicle, turn on the ignition or start

the engine - danger of injury and accidents!

■

When leaving the vehicle, never leave people who are not completely in-

dependent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle. These individuals

might not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help themselves.

At very high or very low temperatures can be fatal!

CAUTION

■

Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected

against moisture and severe shocks.

■

Keep the key grooves clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust etc.) have a nega-

tive effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and ignition lock.

On vehicles fitted with automatic gearbox, the selector lever must be moved

into the position P before unlocking.
After locking the car, it is not possible to unlock it within the next 2 seconds by

touching the door handle. This can be used to check whether the vehicle is

Protection against inadvertently locking the key in the vehicle

If one of the doors is closed after locking the vehicle and the key with which

the vehicle was locked remains in the passenger compartment, the vehicle is

automatically unlocked. After automatically unlocking, the turn signal lights

will flash four times. If no door is opened within 45 seconds, the vehicle is au-

tomatically locked again.
If the boot lid is closed after locking the vehicle and the key with which the

vehicle was locked remains in the luggage compartment, the lid is automatical-

ly unlatched (partially opened). After automatically unlocking, the turn signal

lights will flash four times. The boot lid remains unlatched (partially opened);

the other doors remain locked.

CAUTION

Some types of gloves can affect the unlocking or locking device via the sen-

sors in the door handle.

vehicle in an emergency – danger to life!

SafeLock



Read and observe and on page 52 first.

SafeLock prevents the doors from behind opened from inside as well as win-

dow operation. This makes an attempted break-in to the vehicle more difficult.

Activating

SafeLock is activated when the vehicle is locked from the outside.



This function is pointed out by the following message on the display of the in-

strument cluster after the ignition is switched off.

Check SAFELOCK! Owner's manual!

Activation display

When SafeLock is activated the warning light in the driver's door flashes for 2

seconds in rapid succession, then starts to flash at longer intervals.

Deactivating

▶

By locking twice within 2 seconds.

▶

or: by deactivating the interior monitor and the towing protection

» page 57

The warning light in the driver door flashes rapidly for about 2 seconds, then

WARNING

If the car is locked and the SafeLock system activated, no-one may 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 rescu-

ers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!

and the boot lid are only unlocked once the door handle is unlocked or

touched.

Doors on a vehicle side

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 allows the unlocking of

both doors which are in the vicinity of the key, as well as the fuel filler flap. The

other doors and the boot lid are only unlocked once the door handle is un-

locked or touched.

Automatic locking/unlocking

This function enables the locking of all doors and the boot lid from a speed of

15 km / h. Opening the doors and the boot lid from the outside is not possible.
The renewed unlocking of the doors and the boot lid is carried out when the

ignition key is removed or when the door is opened from inside (depending on
