Skoda Fabia 2003 Owner's Manual page 42

WARNING
•
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing
system is activated, 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 emergency - hazard!
•
Locking the doors prevents involuntary opening in an excep-
tional 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.
Note
•
After unlocking the vehicle see, if the securing knobs are located on all
doors at the bottom.
•
The vehicle is unlocked automatically if an airbag is deployed.
•
Only the front doors can be unlocked and locked using the key if the
central locking system fails.
