if i press the lock button once on the fob the car locks iff i press it again it seems to lock again but a more hefty locking noise ?? usually they would be deadlocks but i didnt think it had them

According to the brochures it has deadlocks as part of the central locking. Pressing lock a second time disables the interior alarm sensors which may also unlock the deadlocks? :confused:

Chris

oh lol nightmare so now i have to stand there and wonder if its locked propperly or not :(

I was thinking that - i often press it repeatedly as i can't remember whether i locked it or not !

Deadlocks should activate with the first press. However if you have a faulty lock it sometimes takes 2 presses to be sure you need the indicator flash or alarm beep activated as otherwise the car can appear to lock but isn't. If the you have the alarm beep or flash then as long as you hear/see this when you press then it has locked correctly.

first push, locks and deadlocks activated, 2nd push, deadlocks and internal sensors deactivated IIRC.

id like it 1 push just regular locks + alarm 2 pushes deadlocks + interior stuff

Why? Do you leave a person/pet in the car more often than you leave the car empty?

^ this is right, and coincidentally exactly the opposite of what the Guy at Skoda told me when I bought the car. He also told me pressing the ASR button turns it on. Damn him.

Lmao, his first day by any chance

Haven't seen him there since, now I come to think of it...

The 2nd press deactivates deadlocks and interior sensors. So everything is locked on the 1st press.....

Chris

yes but i dont always see it lock first press cant always hear it

Get someone with vagcom to enable the alarm beep.

i shall get dealer to do it when it goes in for getting the radio replaced the rattle in the das and the leaking rear doors AGAIN

I got my Fab Vrs last Friday. The dealer told me that one press locks the doors normally and the seond press deadlocks it. Now i'm confused aswell.......

On the Octavia 'safe lock' - or deadlock - can be deactivated by locking the car twice with the key or remote within 2 seconds. The Fabia should be the same.

All in the handbook

Just confirmed in handbook - you guys are bang on the money again. Press the lock button once and the car goes into 'Secure Locking Mode' which includes the alarm and the deadlocks activiating. Pressing the lock button twice in quick succession locks the doors but deactivate the internal alarm sensors and the deadlocks - ideal for when you leave a dog or other pet in the car - if any of you are mad enough to.

Just test it - hit lock twice with any of the windows down. Hitting the button twice on mine allows you to put your hand in the car, wave it about a bit, then open the door from the inside - all with the alarm staying silent

Is nobody else curious enough to test these things out when they buy the car?

I'm just bitter Used to trust Skoda people. But after a winter of pressing the ASR button before every trip and wondering why the car's so wonky on ice' date=' and having no alarm I'm a manual reader and a distrustful old git.

I locked my girlfriend in the car with one press after I figured it out (yes, on purpose). No alarm going off, but she couldn't get out?

:confused: With one press, the interior sensor and deadlocks are on. So it's right she couldn't get out, but the alarm should have gone off...
