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.

and briefly press the opening button (arrow 1). To close the car,

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

• 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.
