If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next 30
seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically and the safelock system or anti-
theft alarm system will be switched on. This function is intended to prevent the
car being unlocked unintentionally.

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

WARNING
If the car is locked from the outside and the safelock system is switched on,
there must not be any person in the car as it is then not possible to open ei-
ther a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more diffi-
cult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!
CAUTION
Only operate the remote control when the doors and boot lid are closed and the
■
vehicle is in your line of sight.
If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote control
■
key.
Operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by signal interfer-
■
ence from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the same frequency
range (e.g. mobile phone, TV transmitter).
Note
For vehicles with an anti-theft alarm system, the acoustic signals can also be acti-
vated/deactivated when locking/unlocking at a ŠKODA partner
