SAFELOCK??

Featured Replies

I've only had my new  Octavia for just over a week, so plenty to learn.  Here's something which is puzzling me.  When I switch off the engine, the following warning/notification appears on the dash board:

 

"Please check SAFELOCK vehicle wallet!"  This appear underneath a padlock symbol.  Nothing else flashes and no explanation.  Does anyone know what it is and how I check/fix this, please?

 

My Octavia is 1.5L 150 HP First Edition with a manual gear box.

 

Thanks in advance..

 

It is all explained in the owner's manual.  But to save you the effort......:biggrin:

 

When you exit the vehicle and remove the key and shut the door, the anti-theft alarm is activated.  It is sensitive to movement inside the vehicle.  To deactivate the motion sensor you can press a button on the pillar behind the driver's door or you can press the plipper twice when you lock it.  The Safelock message is a reminder for all this.

 

Vehicle wallet refers to the manual, normally in the glovebox, it just suffered in translation.

 

Look for the MySkoda app for your Android or Apple phone.

Thanks very much.  I was sitting in the car today and looked this up on the manual but didn't find reference to "SAFELOCK" itself.  I didn't make the connection with SAFEfunction.  I also didn't know what was meant by vehicle wallet.  My old Octavia was a Mk II from 2007 so all these notifications are mind boggling at the moment. 

My car is a Yeti but there is a lot in common.  :biggrin:
