Unlocking and locking
Safe securing
The central locking system is equipped with a safe securing system.
Locking the vehicle from the outside causes the door locks to be automat-
ically blocked. It is not possible to pull out the locking buttons. The indi-
cator light in the driver's door flashes. It is not possible to open the doors
with the door handle either from the inside or from the outside. This acts
as an effective deterrent for attempts to break into your vehicle.
•
You can deactivate the safe securing system. This is done by locking
the vehicle with the key or radio-operated key twice within 2 seconds.
•
Deactivating the safe securing system means that the warning light
next to the securing knob in the driver's door will not flash. This is not the
case, however, for an activated anti-theft alarm system since the indicator
light is showing that the system is active ⇒ page 47.
•
The safe securing system is again activated the next time the vehicle
is unlocked and locked again.
The doors can be opened from the inside if the vehicle is locked and the
safe securing system is deactivated:
•
The door is unlocked by actuating the door-opening lever.
•
The door opens upon actuating the door-opening lever again.
Automatic locking*
All the doors and the boot lid are locked automatically once the car
reaches a speed of about 15 km/h.
If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked
again. In addition, it is possible for the driver to unlock the car by pressing
the central locking button
If you wish, your Škoda Dealer can convert the central locking system of
your car to the automatic locking mode.
or by pulling the door opening lever.
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!
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.
•
Should the central locking system not operate properly, you can lock
and unlock the front doors and the boot lid with the key. Emergency
unlocking of fuel filler flap ⇒ page 201.
•
It is not possible for you to activate the safe securing system and the
anti-theft alarm system* if the central locking system fails.
•
The anti-theft alarm system is also armed when the car is closed
without activating the safe securing system. In this case, always switch off
the interior monitoring sensor* ⇒ page 49 first of all to avoid an alarm
being triggered unintentionally.
