23 Air Bag system
Safety FirstControls and equipment Tips and Maintenance Technical Data
Function of head airbags*
When the system is triggered, the bags inflate using gas.
In this way, the entire window area is protected as well as the door
frame areas (up to mid-door range), thus protecting passengers in
the front and rear seats.
The inflated Air Bag will lose pressure relatively slowly through its
tissue due to the pressure caused by the lateral movement of the
occupant. In this way the risk of damage to the upper body due to
a crash is greatly reduced.
When the lateral Air Bag is deployed*, the head Air Bag is
automatically deployed on the side of the impact.

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.

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
