Kessy System - Skoda Superb Owner's Manual

WARNING

Please note that the handbrake must be fully released. A handbrake which
is only partially released can result in the rear brakes overheating which will
have a negative effect on the operation of the brake system - risk of accident! In
addition this can result in premature wear of the rear brake pads.

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. The children might, for
example, release the handbrake or take the vehicle out of gear. The vehicle
might then move off - risk of accident!
Caution
After the car has come to a stop, always first of all apply the handbrake firmly before
then additionally engaging a gear (manual gearbox) or moving the selector lever
into position P (automatic gearbox).

If the steering is locked and the KESSY system does not manage to unlock the
steering lock the first time (e.g. if the wheels rest against the curb), the attempt will
be repeated twice by the system.
Even if the steering lock is not released afterwards, the system will ask you to move
the steering wheel with a message in the information display Move steering wheel!
or in the display of the instrument cluster MOVE STEERING. In 2 seconds, 3 addi-
tional attempts are made to unlock the steering wheel. At the same time, the
warning light  flashes.
Even if the steering lock is not released afterwards, the following message is
displayed for 10 seconds on vehicles with an information display Steering wheel
still locked. .
It is necessary to eliminate the possible cause which prevents the unlocking and
repeat the attempt to unlock the steering.
Engine protection for electric steering lock
The electric steering lock has an engine protection which slows down the locking
and unlocking of the steering if the starter button is pressed repeatedly at short
intervals.
