Duplicate, unprogrammed keys for the remote control are available at
Technical Service Centres. However, the second key must be synchronised
in a SEAT Official Service Centre, as the immobiliser code must also be
entered into the head of the key.
Up to a maximum of four keys with radio-frequency remote control maybe
used.

Opening and closing your vehicle
To open the car, point the key at the car, within the effective range,
and briefly press the opening button (arrow 1). To close the car,
briefly press the closing button (arrow 2).
If you press the closing button (arrow
2) twice, the safety lock and
anti-theft alarm system* are deactivated and the indicators will
briefly flash to show this.
N No
ot
te
e
While the “open” or “close” buttons are pressed, a warning lightin the key
flashes. If this does not happen, the battery in the key might be flat. In this
case a Technical Service Centre should check or change the battery.
When the safety lock and the anti-theft alarm* are activated,
proceed in the following manner:
If you open the car with the opening button of the radio-frequency*
remote control, all the locks will be blocked automatically if you do
not open any of the doors or boot/tailgate before 30 seconds have
elapsed. However, the safety lock and the anti-theft alarm* will be
deactivated during those 30 seconds. This function stops

of the vehicle within the effective range of the
radio-frequency* remote control.
When unlocking the vehicle, keep the key in the driver’s and
passenger’s door lock or tailgate in the unlocking position. All

automatically.
When keeping the key in the locking position, the windows and the
roof will close automatically.

Synchronisation
If the vehicle cannot be opened by pressing the radio transmitter
button, it could be that the code of the key no longer matches that
of the control unit in the vehicle. This can occur if the transmitter
button is frequently pressed outside the effective range of the
system.
The infrared key must be resynchronized. The synchronization
process must be completed with 1 1 mmi
in
nu
ut
te
e
.
The necessary steps for the programming of the key are:
1. Insert key into driver’s door lock and turn three times forwards
(unlock), before 5 seconds have elapsed (maximum). Each time
hold it for 1/2 second in the unlock position. Remove key. The
warning lamp in the inner driver’s door cover will flash to show that
the operation has been properly completed.
2. Press and hold “close” button
⇒ fig. 68, arrow 2.
3. Press “open” button
⇒ fig. 68, arrow 13 times. Release
“close” button. The key has now been recoded. To check the
system, the warning lamp in the door trim will flash, and the light
in the key will flash 5 times.
If any further infrared keys are being used, they must also be
synchronised. To do this, steps 2 to 4 of the synchronisation
procedure must be carried out. This procedure must not last any
longer than 15 seconds for each key and must be carried out
immediately after the synchronisation of the previous key.

• The remote control key may only be synchronised when the electric
windows have been closed.
• Every time a key is synchronised all previous information is deleted, which
means that if you wish to use several remote control keys for the same car,
you must synchronise them during this this operation.

(closing windows and sliding roof).
You do not need to remove the Original roof aerial.
• If there are special fittings on the vehicle – e.g. spoilers, roof rack, two-

In the interests of environmental protection the vehicle should only be
washed in specially provided wash bays. In some districts, washing cars
elsewhere may even be forbidden.

possible. Then clean the car w wi

Paint
shampoo, preferably with a neutral pH, should only be used for
very persistent dirt. Rinse the sponge or glove out thoroughly at
short intervals.
Wheels and sill panels should be cleaned last, using a different
sponge if possible.
After cleaning the vehicle, rinse thoroughly with water and leather
it off.N No

•The vehicle should not be washed in strong sunshine.
•If the vehicle is rinsed with a hose, do not direct the jet of water
at the lock cylinders and the door/boot lid/tailgate shut lines –
they can freeze up in the winter.
K
Washing vehicle with high pressure cleaner
• The operating instructions for the high pressure cleaner must be
followed closely – particularly with regard to pressure and working
distance.
• Do not use a concentrated jet.
• The water temperature must not be above 60°C.
Conservation
Regular application of protection products protects the vehicle
paintwork to a large extent against the environmental influences
listed under “Washing” on the previous page and even against
light mechanical damage.
At the latest when water on the clean paint does not form small
drops and roll off, the vehicle should be protected by applying a
coat of good hard wax. Even when a wax solution is used regularly

When retro-fitting a radio, but also when replacing a set installed
by the factory the following points should be noted:
• The connection* in the vehicle is for Genuine SEAT radios
1).
• Radios with other connections must be connected with an
adapter cable which can also be obtained from Technical Service
Centres.

Apart from this, important electronic components can be damaged or the
functioning impaired. If for example the speed signal is disturbed this can
lead to faulty management of engine, automatic gearbox, ABS etc.
Even connecting the speed signal to radio sets with speed dependent
volume control from other manufacturers can cause such faults.
• Therefore, it is recommended that the Technical Service install
the radio. They are fully informed about the technical features of
the vehicle, have the Genuine radios
1), the necessary fitting parts
from the Genuine SEAT Accessory Programme1)and work in
accordance with the guidelines developed by the factory.
• The radios from the Genuine SEAT Accessory Programme
1)are
similar to those used in the factory and ensure trouble-free
installation. These sets are in keeping with the advanced
technology and well-planned easy-to-operate design. In Germany
there is also an Exchange Service for these radios so that even
after years of use a set requiring repair can be exchanged cheaply
for a completely reconditioned, good-as-new set by a SEAT dealer.
• Loudspeakers, fitting parts, aerials and suppression kits should
also be taken from the Genuine SEAT Accessory Programme
1).
These parts have all been specially developed for each vehicle
model.

Mobile phones and radio – telephones should be installed by a
specialised workshop.
SEAT has authorised the use of mobile telephones and two-way
radios for your vehicle with correctly installed external aerial and
maximum broadcast power of 10 Watts.
C Ca

on
n
When using mobile telephones or two-way, faults in the vehicle electrics
could occur under the following conditions:
– no external aerial
– external aerial incorrectly installed
– broadcast power higher than 10 Watts.
Mobile telephones or two-way radios must not, therefore, be operated
inside the vehicle without a separate external aerial or with an aerial which
has been incorrectly installed.
Furthermore, optimal range is only achieved with an external aerial.
