WARNING
Always withdraw the key whenever you leave the vehicle - even if it is only
■
for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the vehicle.
The children might otherwise start the engine or operate electrical equipment
(e.g. power windows) - risk of injury!
Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle has
■
come to a stop. The steering lock might otherwise engage unintentionally -
risk of accident!
CAUTION
Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
■
against moisture and severe shocks.
Keep the groove of the keys completely clean as impurities (textile fibres, dust,
■
etc.) have a negative effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and igni-
tion lock.
Note
Please approach a ŠKODA Service Partner if you lose a key as they can obtain a
new one for you.
