Remote control

Description
You can use the remote control key:

to unlock and lock the vehicle;

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 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.
