Hi everyone,

I am after a bit of information.

I have a brand new Skoda Octavia Elegance Estate, and when I stop the car and prior to removing the key it comes on the display to Check The Deadlock.

What does this mean and what can I do to stop this message?

Thanks in advance.

You cant stop it. Its jyst there to remind you if your leaving anyone in car when you lock the car it goes into deadlock. Meaning the interior unlock and handles wont unlock car.

And also to let you know the safe securing system is active.

Hi, I Just picked up our Superb 1 day ago and was wondering the same thing. I trolled the forums and found out a few things too.

If you lock the car with remote then press the lock button again within 2 sec it will disable to deadlock function, (not sure if this turns off the message) However if you do turn off the deadlock function and someone smashes a window to break into your car they can open the door with the inside handle. If you leave it function on then they can't open the doors with the inside handle, they can still climb in through the window if they want but it just makes their life that bit harder.

As a mate said to me once, locks and windows only keep the honest people out.
