Unlocking and locking 49
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 is approx. 10 m. But this range of the remote control can be reduced if the
batteries are weak.
Emergency unlocking of the boot lid (Estate car)
The remote control 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.
