Technical Data
The transmitter with the battery is housed
in the handle of the remote control key.
The receiver is located in the interior of the car. The operating range of the remote control is approx. 30 m. But this range of the remote control can be reduced if the batteries are weak. The remote control key has a fold-open key
bit which can be used
for unlocking and
locking the car manually and also for starting the engine. If a lost key is replaced or if the rece
iver unit has been repaired or a new unit
installed, it is then necessary for an authorised Škoda Service Partner to initialise the system. Only after this is it possible to again use the remote control.
Note
•
The remote control is automatically deac
tivated when the ignition is switched
on.•
The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interfer-
ence from transmitters close to the car
and which operate in the same frequency
range (e.g. mobile phon
e, TV transmitter).
•
The battery must be replaced, ideally by
an authorised Škoda Service Partner, if
the central locking or anti-theft alarm system does react to the remote control at less than 3 metres away.•
If the driver door is opened, the vehi
cle cannot be locked using the remote
control.

Folding up of the key – Press button and collapse the key bit in the housing.The turn signal lights flash twice as
confirmation that the vehicle has been
unlocked. The vehicle will lock again auto
matically if you unlock the vehicle using
button but do not open a door or the
boot lid within the next 30 seconds. This
function is intended to prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally. In addition, when the car is unlocked, the
power seats and exterior mirrors* move
into the position assigned to this key. The stored setting of driver seat and exterior mirrors is retrieved. When the vehicle is unlocked or locked, the interior lights and the lights of the entry area are automatically switched
on or off via the door contact.
Display of the locking The turn signal lights flash once to co
nfirm that the vehicle has been correctly
locked. If the doors or the boot lid remain open
after the vehicle has been locked, the turn
signal lights do not flash unt
il they have been closed.
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 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
•
Operate the radio remote control only wh
en the doors and boot lid are closed
and you have visual contact with the vehicle.•
Once in the car, you must not press the lock button
 of the radio remote
control before inserting the key into the ignition lock in order to avoid the car being inadvertently locked and, in addition, th
e anti-theft alarm system* being switched
on. Should this happen, press the unlock button
 of the radio remote control.
•
The automatic raising of the small boot
lid can be impaired at temperatures
below +4°C.Synchonisation of the remote controlIf the vehicle cannot be unlocked by actuatin
g the remote control system then it is
possible that the code in the key and the
control unit in the vehicle are no longer
synchronised. This can occur when the buttons on the radio-operated key are actu-ated a number of times outside of the operative range of the equipment or the battery on the remote control was replaced. This means it is necessary to
synchronise the code as follows:
•
Press any button on the remote control.
•
Pressing of the button means that the d
oor will unlock with the key within 1
minute
⇒page 47, “Emergency unlocking and locking of the driver's door”.
Anti-theft alarm system*DescriptionThe anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against people seeking to break into the vehicle. The system triggers audible and visual warning signals if an attempt is made to break into the vehicle. How is the alarm system activated? The anti-theft alarm system is activated wh
en the vehicle is locked with the key in
the driver's door or by us
ing the radio remote control
⇒page 47, “Emergency
unlocking and locking of the driver's door
”. The door contact monitoring is acti-
vated approx. 15 seconds after the locking. The interior and the towing protection monitoring are activated appr
ox. 30 seconds after the locking. If a door is opened
during activation, the monitoring is
only activated 5 se
conds after closing.
