Unlocking and locking50
How is the alarm system switched on?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically when the vehicle is
locked with the key on the closed driver's door or by using the remote
control. It is activated 30 seconds after closing the door.
How is the alarm system switched off?
The anti-theft alarm system is switched off if the vehicle is unlocked by
only using the remote control. The vehicle is automatically locked again if
the vehicle is not opened within 30 seconds after reactivating the anti-theft
alarm system.
Once you unlock the vehicle by inserting the key into the driver door you
then have to insert the key into the ignition lock and switch the ignition on
within 15 seconds after unlocking the door in order to deactivate the anti-
theft alarm system. The alarm will be triggered if you do not switch on
the ignition within 15 seconds.
When is the alarm triggered?
The following security areas of the locked vehicle are monitored:
• Bonnet,
• Tai lga te,
• Doors,
• Ignition lock,
• Vehicle interior* ⇒ page 50,
• Angle of the vehicle*,
• A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply.
An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is
disconnected while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
How is the alarm switched off?
You switch the alarm off if you unlock the car with the radio remote control
in the key or if you switch the ignition on.
Note
• The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years. More detailed information
is available from your Škoda Service Partner.
• Before leaving the car, check that all the windows and doors are prop-
erly closed in order to ensure that the anti-theft alarm system is fully oper-
ational.
• Coding of the radio remote control and the receptor part precludes the
use of the radio remote control from other vehicles.
Interior monitor* and Towing
protection*
The interior monitor and the towing protection detect
movements inside the vehicle interior and then trigger the
alarm.
