42 Unlocking and locking
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the master key. The
receiver is located in the interior of the car. The operating range of the remote
control is 10 metres but this range can be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The master 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 a Škoda Dealer to initialise the system. Only after
this is it possible to again use the remote control.
Note
•
The remote control is automatically deactivated 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 phone, TV transmitter).
•
The battery must be replaced, ideally by a Škoda Service Partner, if the central
locking or anti-theft alarm system does react to the remote control at less than 3
metres away.
