Keyless Entry
The days of putting keys into locks are slowly disappearing and most new cars have keyless entry. You can unlock your car by pressing the button on the fob, or by pulling the door handle. This allows you to remain hands free and not have to search through your bag searching for your keys.
The system works because the car sends out a radio signal that is subsequently picked up and sent back by the key fob. This is then recognized by the vehicle and it will normally unlock the doors or turn on the interior lighting (if it is programmed to do this).
Certain variations of keyless entry don't require a fob at all, instead using an app on a smartphone that can transmit an electronic signal directly to the car. This is also referred to as a phone-as key, or a digital-key. It's a great way to let other drivers access your vehicle without having to hand over the keys.
It's important to note that keyless entry systems aren't completely foolproof and there have been reports of people who had their cars taken away using this technology. To avoid this you can purchase an anti-theft device for the key fob called Secure-A-Key. This will turn off the battery of the remote control if it's not moved for a period of minutes, making it much harder to steal the car.
Start and Exit System
Skoda comes with a range of features designed to make life easier, whether you're returning home with a wet football jacket or a wet backpack. The Karoq has a clever, double-sided bootmat that is constructed of plastic and fabric. It shields your floor from getting dirty or wet.
Modern keyless entry systems, also referred to as KESSY control units, include an additional layer of security built-in to protect your car. The system checks to see if the correct key is being used to turn on the engine and, if it is not, the immobilizer will be activated. This blocks different actions that prevent the vehicle from starting, including removing the fuel pump, ignition coil, or injectors.
If the immobilizer is activated you'll see a warning light on the dashboard. This should be treated as an emergency and you'll have to see an expert to determine the cause of the issue.
Modern keyless entry systems are defended by a variety of sensors, one of which is door handle detectors. This sensor is located in the front door, and it is waiting for an event to trigger it. For instance, the key inserted or a button that is placed on the tailgate. If the trigger is detected, a signal is sent to the car's control unit and it opens the doors and starts the engine. The Kodiaq Superb Octavia Enyaq and Enyaq all come with the same Area View system that uses cameras to show different views of the immediate surroundings around your car on the screen in your car.
Remote Control Window Winding
If the window winding of your skoda key isn't working correctly the issue could be caused by an inefficient motor or switch. In the case of the switch, you can use an instrument to test for continuity in the ground and power wires that connect to the window motor.

The motor is connected through two circuits to the window switches: one position of the switch and the circuit drive it one way (window up) and the other switch position and the circuit drive it the opposite direction (window down). The switches' contacts are connected to the power supply which is then connected to a motor in order to perform the actual winding. A large plate has gear teeth carved into it and the motor spins a gear that engages these teeth when the window is raised. When the window is lowered, the gear is disengaged and the handle can move freely.
