Remote control
Description
You can use the remote control key:
to unlock and lock the car,
unlock or open the boot lid,
Opening and closing window.
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
key is approx. 30 m. But this range of the remote control can be reduced if the batteries
are weak.
The 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 receiver 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 key.
The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched on.
The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interference
from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the same frequency range (e.g.
mobile phone, 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 vehicle cannot be locked using the remote
control.
