KESSY Keyless entry

[IanD]

Have just took delivery of my new 2023 KAROQ SE-L 1.5 TSI AUTO on the 29th Dec and I would like to know if I can lock my doors with the KESSY system, I can open the doors ok by putting my hand on the door handle sensor and all doors will open, I have set it that way in the info system car menu, but it will not lock the doors the same way I have to press my key fob I have changed the settings on the menu to only open a single door but it’s still the same I have to use the key fob to lock it, I can unlock and lock all doors with the mobile app Skoda Connect can anyone help me with this problem, my old Honda i could lock and unlock from the door handle sensor as long as the key was on my person, l would expect that a newer vehicle would also do the same.
Any help would be appreciated thank you

It should do , put the back of your hand over the handle where the key slot should have been .

Yes, back of the hand is the way to go.
It is too easy to touch the inside of the handle, confusing the lock/unlock system. Back of the hand precludes this confusion.

Didn’t realise I had the keyless system when we bought our 2020 Sportline last year and oh my what fun did I have Had to leave the car around the corner one night so double checked it was locked but of course as soon as I pulled the door handle it opened. Assuming I’d not locked it properly I shut the door again, locked it with the key fob, lights flashed, gave it a few seconds and pulled the handle ‘just to be sure’ and the car unlocked. By now there was a space outside home so I moved the car, meaning to call the dealers in the morning but decided to have a quick look at the handbook in the meantime.
In the words of the Senior Trotter “you plonker”. Gave Significant Other a good laugh as well.

If you want to check, try pulling a rear door handle.

Having established that we had keyless entry, I realised that the boot opens independently
Suppose the moral is that you should read, or at least glance at, the handbook at some point Upon reflection the dealer never mentioned it when we first saw the car and then collected it, although it was always open so unlocking it was never an issue.
