Safe Securing System - Skoda Yeti Owner's Manual

Automatic locking and unlocking
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If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked again.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 or front passenger to unlock the vehicle by
pressing the central locking button 
lever on one of the front doors.
WARNING
Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside, for exam-
ple at road crossings. Locked doors do, however, make it more difficult for res-
cuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency - danger to life!
Note
You can have the individual settings activated by a ŠKODA Service Partner or
■
you can activate them yourself with the help of the information display
In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
■
are automatically unlocked in order to enable rescuers to gain access to the vehi-
cle.
Only the driver's door can be unlocked or locked using the key if the central
■
locking system fails » page 33. The other doors and the boot lid can be manually
locked or unlocked.

Safe securing system

The central locking system is equipped with a safe securing system. The door
locks are blocked automatically if the vehicle is locked from the outside. The
warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it be-
gins to flash evenly at longer intervals. It is not possible to open the doors with
the door handle either from the inside or from the outside. This acts as an effec-
tive deterrent for attempts to break into your vehicle.
The safe securing system can be deactivated within 2 seconds by double locking
the vehicle.

If the safe securing system is not in operation:
›
the indicator light in the driver door flashes rapidly for about 2 seconds, goes
out and starts to flash at regular, longer intervals after about 30 seconds;
›
is the filler flap locked.
The safe securing system is activated again the next time the vehicle is unlocked
and locked.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is deactivated, the vehicle
can be opened from the inside by pulling the door opening lever.
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is acti-
vated, there must not be any person in the vehicle as it is then no longer pos-
sible 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
The anti-theft alarm system is activated when the vehicle is locked even if the
■
safe securing system is deactivated. The interior monitor is however not activa-
ted.
After locking the vehicle, you will be informed that the safe securing system is
■
activated by means of the message CHECK DEADLOCK on the instrument cluster
display. On vehicles that are equipped with an information display, the following
