Description of anti-theft alarm system*
The anti-theft alarm system must contribute to reducing the
attempts to gain access to, or to steal the car. Non-authorized entry
to the car will trigger acoustic and optical signals.

Volumetric sensor
This is a surveillance function or a control incorporated in the anti-
theft alarm system which detects through ultrasound unauthorized
access to the vehicle interior (i.e. through a window). This system
has two sensors: a transmitter and a receiver.

• A warning lamp in the driver’s door will flash if the alarm has been
triggered by the volumetricsensor. This flashing is different from that of the
activated alarm.
• If the volumetricsensor has caused the alarm to set off three times the
alarm system will no longer go off.
• Other sensors (door opening, luggage compartment, etc.) will continue to
set off the alarm.

Locking and unlocking the vehicle
You can use the remote control to carry out the following
operations without having to use the key:
– Opening and closing the central locking.
– Switching the anti-theft alarm* and the safety locking system on
and off.
– Individual opening* of just the driver’s door.
– Connecting and diconnecting the inside light
⇒"Doors, central
locking" chapter.
The radio wave emitter with batteries is incorporated into the grip
of the car key. The receiver is in the cabin.

the fig. 67. The maximum range depends on several factors.
The range is also reduced as the batteries wear down.
N No
ot
te
e
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.
K
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
windows, except for the lateral electric windows, will open
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.

• A warning lamp in the instrument panel lights up when the rear fog light is

switched on when the visibility is very poor (e.g. in some E.U. countries, 50
metres).
The electrical system of the factory fitted tow bar* is wired up so
that when towing a trailer fitted with rear fog lights, the rear fog
