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

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

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.

With this setting a pleasant climate in the vehicle is reached most
quickly.
This setting should therefore only be altered when required for
personal comfort.

Using the system
When ignition has been switched on the system normally works in
the automaticmode. Displays1, 2, 3, 7, 8and 9appear.
The Climatronicmaintains the selected vehicle interior temperature
fully automatically.
To do this, the temperature of the air flow as well as the blower
speed (air volume) and air distribution are altered automatically.
The system also takes account of intense sunlight. This eliminates
the need for a manual re-adjustment.
If the settings deviated from Automaticoperation before the
ignition is switched off the selected functions are permanently
stored. Only the function “air recirculation” is cancelled after about
20 minutes.
K

Climate control134
• The interior temperature can be freely selected with buttons17
and 18and is stored permanently until another temperature is
selected.
The interior temperature can be set between +18°C (64°F) and
+29°C (86°F). In this range it is automatically regulated.
If temperatures below +18°C (64°F) are selected “LO” appears in
the display. With temperatures above +29°C (86°F) “HI” is
displayed.
In these two end positions the system works continuously at
maximum cooling or heating output. The temperature is not
regulated.• If the blower speed is changed up or down a stage, automatic
mode is still retained.
• In certain operating conditions it may be found that the system
temporarily carries out functions which are not quite as expected.
This includes, for example, that for a few seconds after starting
from cold, air is directed mainly into the footwell. This is intentional
so that damp air in the system does not cause the windows to mist
up.

Partial deviation from Automatic mode
In nearly all cases the Automatic mode offers the best conditions
for the comfort of the vehicle occupants all the year round.
In isolated cases however it can be necessary to move away form
certain functions of the automatic mode by pressing various
buttons. The Climatronicstill works automatically.
The blower speed and thus the air volume at the front can be
increased or reduced with buttons
13and 14. This is shown by a
change in the number of lines in display position 1.
• By pressing button
11
– the ECON operation is switched off
– the air recirculation mode is switched off
– the windscreen and side windows can be defrosted or kept free
of misting (direct vents
4onto side windows)
– the dehumidifying and defrosting effect for the windscreen can
be increased if, for example persons with damp clothing are picked
up shortly after moving off.

for the front is selected by pressing button
12.
The symbol5appears in the display.
The air recirculation function prevents strong outside smells
entering the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnelor
standing in a trafficjam.Air recirculation can also be selected if the vehicle is to be heated
or cooled quickly. In this mode, air is drawn in from the vehicle
interior and heated or cooled.
Smoking should be avoided when air recirculation is selected, as
the smoke drawn in from the vehicle interior deposits on the
evaporator of the Climatronic. This leads to permanent odours
when the Climatronicis in operation. These can only be eliminated
by exchanging the evaporator, which is time-consuming and
expensive.
• With buttons
15and 16the air flow can be to the upper part of
the body or into the footwell.
• The combination of buttons
11and 16can be used to direct the
air flow both to the windscreen and into the footwell.

following:
When choosing the temperature for the front seats (position

and for the rear seats (position 9), the maximum difference
between the two may not exceed 3°C.
When the Climatronicdetects the need to heat the inside, it also
