Synchronisation Of The Remote Control; Anti-Theft Alarm System - Skoda Octavia Tour Owner's Manual

40 Unlocking and locking
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is acti-
vated, there must not be any person in the vehicle as it is then not possible to
open either a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more
difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency - hazard!
Note

Operate the radio remote control only when the doors and boot lid are closed and
you have visual contact with the vehicle.

Once in the car, you must not press the lock button
before inserting the key into the ignition lock in order to avoid the car being inadvert-
ently locked and the alarm system* being switched on. Should this happen, press the

unlock button of the radio remote control.

Synchronisation of the remote control

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 longer
synchronised. This can occur when the buttons on the radio-operated key are actu-
ated 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.

pressing of the button means that the door will unlock with the key within 1
minute.

Anti-theft alarm system*

Description
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.
Optical and acoustic signals alert if an alarm has been triggered (the turn signal lights
flash and the signal horn honks).
How is the alarm system activated?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically when the vehicle is locked with
the key on the driver's door or by using the radio remote control. It is activated 30
seconds after locking the door.
How is the alarm system deactivated?
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated if the vehicle is unlocked by only using the
radio remote control. The anti-theft alarm system is reactivated if the vehicle is not
opened within 30 seconds after transmitting the radio signal.
 of the radio remote control
Once you unlock the vehicle by inserting the key into the driver door you then have to
insert the key into the ignition lock and switch the ignition on within 15 seconds after
unlocking the door in order to deactivate the anti-theft alarm system. The alarm will
be triggered if you do not switch on the ignition within 15 seconds.
