KESSY Advanced on the 2024 Kodiaq Sportline
The manufacturer’s April 2024 international announcement for the second-generation Kodiaq Sportline describes KESSY Advanced with Open On Approach and Walk Away Locking. This concerns that version and publication. It does not establish those functions on every Kodiaq in Israel.
If approach unlocking or walk-away locking is fitted, include it in the fault description and spare request. Separate these from remote-button operation: failure of one function does not necessarily describe the others.
A different system described for MY2020
Škoda’s July 2019 international MY2020 announcement describes optional KESSY on the Kodiaq with a motion sensor in the key. According to that publication, the signal switches off after 15 minutes without movement and resumes when the key moves.
This can provide context when response depends on rest, but does not diagnose a battery or instruct every Kodiaq. Give the year and actual behaviour. Neither the 2020 nor 2024 description should be applied to another vehicle simply because the name matches.
Treat tailgate response separately
If tailgate access is the only missing function, say whether door buttons and starting still work. If the key is in the boot, explain whether it works and whether another key remains outside the vehicle.
The Israeli importer provides a Kodiaq usage summary, and Škoda’s site selects manuals by model and production period. Check tailgate, battery and mechanical-key instructions against the appropriate manual. Summary equipment may differ from yours.
The tailgate will not open: identify the missing operationAn additional Kodiaq key or loss of all keys
With a key that unlocks and starts, define the other driver’s backup: remote functions, starting and existing access features. Arrange testing with the vehicle and check the previous key too. Separate storage helps when an everyday key becomes unavailable.
If no working key is available, say all keys are lost and provide locking status and location. A working key locked inside calls for a different access enquiry. Replacement feasibility and scope depend on checking the particular Kodiaq details.
What to discuss with Key Replacement
Call +972504307424 with the year, version, photo and function description. Mention restricted parking access and anything affecting arrival. The service is mobile; suitability and availability are checked before booking.
Agree which functions the replacement key and completion check will include. Key Replacement’s three-month warranty applies to replacement keys only. It does not establish coverage for a key bought separately or every other vehicle fault.
