46 Unlocking and locking
Caution

In a critical situation, the movement of the lid can be stopped by applying an
abrupt and quick force against the lid.

Before opening or closing the lid, check if there are any objects in the opening or
closing range which could obstruct the movement (e.g. a load on the roof luggage rack
or on the trailer etc.). - Risk of damaging the lid!

Make sure that there is at least 10 cm of clearance above the opened boot lid (e.g.
distance from the garage ceiling). Otherwise, it may happen that the clearance above
the opened lid is no longer sufficient after relieving the vehicle of a load (e.g. after
unloading) - risk of damaging the lid.

Do not try to manually close the lid during the electric closing process. Damage can
occur to the system of the electric boot lid.

If you manually close the lid, make sure that you press the lock located at the centre
edge of the lid while pressing down the lid above the Škoda logo.
Note

If the electrical opening of the lid was triggered using the button on the remote
control key or the button on the centre console, an intermittent audible signal sounds
while the lid is moving.

The electric boot lid is fitted with a force limiter. If the lid hits an obstacle when
closing, it stops and an audible signal sounds. If you rapidly enter the vehicle during the
opening or closing process of the boot lid, the whole vehicle may jerk and as a result
the movement of the lid can be interrupted - the force limiter is activated.

Manually opening and closing the boot lid is only possible in exceptional cases, in
a slow manner and without sudden movements - if possible close to the centre of the
lid - ; by manipulating the lid on the sides, damage to the electric lid may occur.

In certain circumstances, if the lid is loaded (e.g by a thick layer of snow), the
opening process of the lid can be interrupted. In order to ensure the electrical function
of the lid, relieve the lid.
Description of the operation
When operating the lid, the system distinguishes 3 areas
of the individual operating elements changes. The end positions of the lid - fully closed
in the secured lock and fully opened - differ as well.
