2009 SKODA ROOMSTER remote control

Unlocking and locking 48Synchonisation of the remote controlIf 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*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.
How is the alarm system switched on?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically when the vehicle is locked
with the key in the driver's door or when locking with the remote control. It is acti-
vated 30 seconds after locking the door.
How is the alarm system switched off?
The anti-theft alarm system is switched off if the vehicle is unlocked by only using
the remote control. The vehicle is automatically locked again if the vehicle is not
opened within 30 seconds after reactivating the anti-theft alarm system.
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.
When is the alarm triggered?
The following security areas of the locked vehicle are monitored:
•
bonnet;
•
boot lid;
•
doors;
•
ignition lock;
•
vehicle interior* ⇒page 49;
•
angle of the vehicle*;
•
A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply.
An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is discon-
nected while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
How is the alarm switched off?
You switch the alarm off if you unlock the car with the radio remote control in the
key or if you switch the ignition on.Note
•
The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years. More detailed information is avail-
able by a specialist garage.
•
Before leaving the vehicle, check that all the doors and windows are closed in
order to ensure that the anti-theft alarm system is fully operational.
•
Coding of the radio remote control and the receiver unit precludes the use of
the radio remote control from other vehicles.
