radio SKODA SUPERB 2012 2.G / (B6/3T) Owner's Manual

The on-board literature
The on-board literature for your vehicle consists of this
“Owner's Manual” as well
as a “Service schedule” and the “Help on the road” brochure.
Depending on the vehicle model and equipment, other additional operating man-
uals and instructions may be provided (e.g. an operating manual for the radio).
If one of the publications listed above is missing, please contact a ŠKODA Service
Partner.
The Owner's Manual
These operating instructions describe all possible equipment variants without
identifying them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent
equipment.
Consequently, this vehicle does not need to contain all of the equipment compo-
nents described in these operating instructions.
The level of equipment of your vehicle refers to your purchase contract of the ve-
hicle. For more information, contact your local ŠKODA retailer.
The illustrations can differ in minor details from your vehicle; they are only inten-
ded for general information.
The Service Plan:
› includes vehicle data including information on service work performed;
› is a record of services provided;
› is provided for entries relating to the mobility warranty (valid only for some
countries);
› serves as warranty certificate of the ŠKODA dealer.
The service records are one of the conditions for warranty claims.
Please always present the Service schedule when you take your car to a ŠKODA
specialist garage.
If the Service Schedule is missing or worn, please contact the ŠKODA specialist
garage that regularly services your car. You will receive a duplicate, in which the
previously carried out service work is confirmed by the ŠKODA specialist garage.
The Help on the Road brochure
The brochure contains the important emergency telephone numbers as well as
telephone numbers and contact addresses of ŠKODA Service Partners in different
countries.

22 Using the system

Synchronisation
If the vehicle cannot be unlocked by actuating the remote control system then it
is possible that the code in the key and the control unit in the vehicle are no lon-
ger synchronised. This can occur when the buttons on the radio-operated key are
actuated 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 key;
› pressing of the button means that the door will unlock with the key within 1 mi-
nute. ÐKESSY system
Introductory information
The KESSY system (Keyless Entry Start Exit System) enables a comfort unlocking
and locking of the vehicle and a start-up without actively using the remote con-
trol key. The KESSY system is integrated in the central locking system.
The safe securing system and anti-theft alarm system correspond to vehicles
without the KESSY system. Only the control elements are different.
When unlocking and locking the vehicle or for starting the engine it suffices to
carry the key with you, e.g. in your pocket. ÐLocking/unlocking
Fig. 13
KESSY: Designation of the areas and unlocking/locking the vehicle To lock/unlock a vehicle fitted with the KESSY system, it is necessary for the valid
remote control key to be located no more than around 1.5
m from the front door
handle or boot lid.
Unlocking the vehicle
› Grab the door handle of the front door or cover the sensor 2
» Fig. 13 with the
whole palm of your hand.
Locking the vehicle
› Touch the sensor 1

it is possible to unlock the vehicle via the relevant door of the area in which the
key is located. In the area A
, the vehicle can be unlocked by the handle of the
front left door, in the area C
, the boot lid can be unlocked.
If you cover the sensor 2
at the same time as the sensor 1
when unlocking the
vehicle, it is not unlocked.
Locking
The driver door or front passenger door must be closed when locking. Do not grab
the door handle, otherwise the vehicle cannot be locked.
If the vehicle is fitted with the electric boot lid, the lid starts to open after press-
ing the handle.
After the boot lid is closed, it will be locked. On vehicles fitted with automatic
gearbox, the selector lever must be moved into the position P before unlocking.
Check locking
After locking the vehicle by means of the sensor 1
»
Fig. 13, it is not possible to
unlock the vehicle using the sensor 2
for 2 seconds. Pull on the handle to check
if the vehicle is locked. CAUTION
After leaving the vehicle, it does not lock automatically, the procedure for locking
the vehicle must therefore be observed. £

Note
■ If the battery in the remote control key is weak or discharged, the vehicle may
not be unlocked or locked via the KESSY system. In this case, use the emergency
unlocking or emergency locking of the driver's door » page 35.
■ The KESSY system can find the valid key, even if it was left in the front area of
the vehicle's roof for example. Make sure you know where the valid remote con-
trol key is at all times. ■ When locking/unlocking the vehicle using the sensors 1
» Fig. 13 or 2
do not
use gloves or other objects that might prevent the hand from coming into direct
contact with the sensor.
■ If you unlock the vehicle by means of the sensor in the handle and do not open
a door or the boot lid within the next 30
seconds, the vehicle will lock again auto-
matically and the safe securing system or anti-theft alarm system will be reactiva-
ted. This function is intended to prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally. ÐProtection against inadvertently locking the key in the vehicle
If the key, which was used to lock the vehicle, remains in the vehicle in the area D
» Fig. 13 on page 32

after locking and closing all of the doors including the boot
lid, the protection against inadvertently locking the key in the vehicle is activated
and the vehicle unlocks itself again.

Introductory information
The 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 when the vehicle is locked with the radio
remote control or the key in the driver's door . The door contact monitoring is ac-
tivated approx. 15 seconds after the locking. The interior and the towing protec-
tion monitoring are activated approx. 30 seconds after the locking. If a door is
opened during activation, the monitoring is only activated 5 seconds after closing.
How is the alarm system deactivated?
The alarm system is deactivated by pressing the unlock button on the radio re-
mote control. The anti-theft alarm system is reactivated if the vehicle is not
opened within 30 seconds after transmitting the radio signal.
The alarm system is also deactivated if you unlock the driver door using the key
within 45 seconds of locking the vehicle. £
33
Unlocking and locking

If the vehicle is unlocked within 45 seconds by inserting the key into the driver
door, the key must be inserted into the ignition lock and the ignition switched on
within 15 seconds of unlocking the door to deactivate the alarm system. The
alarm is triggered if the ignition is not switched on within 15 seconds.
When is the alarm triggered?
The following security areas of the locked vehicle are monitored:
› bonnet;
› boot lid;
› doors;
› ignition lock;
› Vehicle inclination
» page 34;
› Interior of the vehicle
» page 34;
› A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply;
› Socket of the factory-fitted towing device.
An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is discon-
nected while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
How is the alarm switched off?
The alarm is switched off by unlocking the vehicle with the radio remote control
or switching on the ignition. Note
■ The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years.
■ Before leaving the car, it must be checked that all of the windows, doors, and
the electric sliding/tilting roof or the panoramic sliding roof are properly closed to
ensure the full functionality of the anti-theft alarm system. ■ Coding of the radio remote control and the receiver unit precludes the use of
the radio remote control from other vehicles. Ð Interior monitor and towing protection monitoring

automatically the next time the car is locked. Note
■ Switch off the interior monitor and the towing protection monitoring if there is
a possibility of the alarm being triggered by movements from (e.g. children or ani-
mals) within the vehicle interior or if the vehicle has to be transported (e.g. by
train or ship) or towed. ■ The opened glasses storage compartment reduces the effectiveness of the in-
terior monitor. To ensure the full functionality of the interior monitor, the glasses
storage compartment must always be closed before locking the vehicle. Ð
