Remote control

Description
You can use the remote control key:
● to unlock and lock the car,
● unlocking boot lid,
● electrically open and close the windows.
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. 10 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 in-
stalled, 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.
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 if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
does react to the remote control at less than 3 metres away ⇒ p age 30.
● If the driver door is opened, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote
control.
