hi I got an error message come up this morning on my 2023 Kamic SE. Dynamic Road Sign Display Restricted and then the Speed Limit roundel in the SatNav disappeared, can anyone explain what has happened and how to fix it please?

I was fortunate that the car was under warranty at the time.

My original fix of changing the batteries in the key fobs worked for a while, but then the problem worsened. A visit to my local Skoda dealership was pretty useless as my complaint was disregarded as “can’t happen mate, never heard of it”. However a second visit was taken more seriously when the mechanic experienced the problem himself. They still had no clue of how to diagnose the problem, until the new Service Manager said that he had seen the same problem on VW Golf’s when he was a VW Service Manager. The problem was the locking mechanism ECU. It was necessary to wait for a specific Skoda technician to be available as it was a question of replacing the ECU unit and then coding new keys to match the ECU. This was duly done and I have had no problem since (touch wood).

I have had the same problem, with my non-Kessy car. With the car continually listening for a signal from the key fob and the key fob continually broadcasting a signal everything will be fine. However, because the key fob is continually “on”, it’s continually running the ‘penny’ battery, which makes the car fob battery run down. You may also find the if you’re sitting in the car with the engine off, you will occasionally get a dashboard message “Key fob not detected”, even if it’s in your pocket. This also indicates that the key fob battery has run down and not broadcasting its presence to the car. Even in this state, there is usually enough charge to lock/unlock the car when you press the buttons, so it appears that there’s nothing wrong with the key fob. Once the engine is running this function is switched off, until you turn the engine off again. On a couple of occasions, I have switched the engine off, got out of the car (key fob in pocket) and the car locked itself as soon as I closed the drivers door. Fitting a new key fob battery cured the problem and it’s easy to do yourself, the battery is a CR2025. My batteries seem to last about 6 months, before the problem starts again.

Brilliant thanks for the reassurance, much appreciated.

Hello, My first post, having been a lurker for a number of years. I recently changed my Yeti SEL 4x4, for a 2020 (70 Reg) Karoq 1.5 TSi. Today whilst driving I suddenly got the yellow warning triangle, no other signs, but the following screen message in the infotainment system ”Error: Emergency call. Please visit workshop”. I couldn’t really stop at the time and after about 20 minutes the light on the dash went out and the message disappeared. Just before I got home it came on again. Is this a common fault or is it indicating a dangerous problem
