Hi,

Yesterday we went to Skoda dealer to do a test drive on karoq.

Then we discussed the safety of the KESSY, the guy told if the key is far (more than a foot so), couldn't start the car.

Then we tested, that was correct. if the key not near, couldn't start, dashboard indication came "Key not found".
So, I think, don't worry about the safety issue.

How KESSY working in the Ateca, as same way?

Thank You

It works within a couple of feet - not much more

the safety issues is with burglar's using repeaters that make the car think the car is next to it (assuming the key is near a window)
There's a few videos on it if you google

The KESSY can be disabled relatively straightforwardly - I disable when at home or when near car (ie sitting in pub) - you need remote button to then unlock
just search for KESSY on here - there's lots of threads about it
