If any of the named areas are entered, the alarm will be triggered.
How is the alarm disabled?
The alarm can be switched off by unlocking the vehicle using the remote
control, or by switching on the ignition with the key, thus “disabling” the
alarm system. The alarm will also switch off when it comes to the end of its
cycle.
Indicators
The indicators flash briefly when the vehicle is locked to confirm that the
doors, the engine bonnet and the tailgate are properly closed and locked.
If the indicators do not flash, check the doors, the bonnet and the tailgate to
make sure they are properly closed. The indicators will also flash briefly if one
of the doors or the tailgate or engine bonnet are closed after the alarm system
has been enabled.
LED
When the vehicle is locked, the LED on the top of the driver's door trim will
flash rapidly for about 30 seconds and then continue flashing slowly. This is
to indicate that the anti-theft alarm system (including the interior monitor
and tow-away protection ) is operative. If the LED lights up continuously for
about 30 seconds when the vehicle is locked instead of flashing, this means
the alarm system is not working properly.Note
•To make sure that the alarm is fully operative when leaving the vehicle,
briefly check that all the doors and windows and the sun roof* are closed.
•The alarm is triggered immediately if one of the battery cables is discon-
nected while the alarm system is enabled.Interior monitoring*

The interior monitor triggers an alarm if it detects movement
inside the vehicle.You should disable the interior monitor if there is a possibility that
the alarm could be triggered, e.g. by a pet or by an object moving
about inside the car ⇒ . The tow-away protection feature, which
is integrated into the alarm system, should be disabled if the car is
being towed or transported (e.g. by rail or ship).

the automatic function.Sun roof / deflector*DescriptionThe sliding/tilting sun roof is operated using the rotary control ⇒fig. 81. The
rotary control for sliding the roof open can be adjusted to several different
settings (with click stops). This control only works when the ignition is
switched on. The rotary control must be in the position if you want to tilt
the roof up at the rear.
The sun roof will work for about ten minutes after the ignition has been
switched off. However, it is immediately disabled when one of the front doors
is opened.

WARNING
The ski bag must be secured in place with the fastening belt after it has
been loaded.
Note
Do not fold away the ski bag after use if it is still damp.Roof carrierDescription
Additional luggage can be carried on the roof carrier.Note the following points if you intend to carry loads on the roof:•There are aerodynamic drainage channels on the roof of the vehicle and,
therefore, normal roof racks cannot be used. We recommend using the carrier
units from the range of original SEAT accessories.•These carrier units are the basis of a complete roof carrier system. For
safety reasons, however, the corresponding additional fastenings must be
fitted to carry luggage, bicycles, surfboards, skis and boats. All the parts of
this system are available from SEAT Dealers.Caution
Any damage to the vehicle caused by the use of other types of roof rack or
incorrect installation will not be covered by the factory warranty. The roof
carrier system must therefore be installed exactly according to the instruc-
tions provided.
Attachment points
The roof carrier must be attached at the marked points only.Installation
The feet of the carrier units must be fitted exactly between the points marked
with arrows on the roof sealing strip ⇒fig. 121 . The arrows are only visible
with the doors open.Roof load
Loads carried on the roof must be securely attached. The car's
handling is affected whenever you carry loads on the vehicle.The authorised load on the roof of your vehicle is 75 kg. Use the weight of the
roof carrier system and that of the load as a basis to calculate the roof load.
If less resistant systems are used, the roof carrier must not be loaded to the
maximum weight permitted. If less resistant systems are used, these must

only be loaded to the maximum weight permitted indicated in the assembly
instructions.
WARNING
•Loads carried on the roof must be securely attached. Failure to do so
could result in an accident.•Do not exceed the maximum roof load for the vehicle, the maximum
axle loads or the maximum gross vehicle weight. Failure to do so could
result in an accident.•When transporting heavy or bulky loads on the roof, bear in mind that
the car's handling is affected by the extra weight on the roof and a possible
susceptibility to cross winds. Adjust your speed and driving style accord-
ingly to avoid accidents.For the sake of the environment
Roof carriers are often left attached for convenience, even when they are not
being used. However, the increased air resistance means that the vehicle
uses more fuel. For this reason you should always take off the roof carrier
when it is not in use.

Note
•Keep the air intake slots in front of the windscreen clear of snow, ice and
leaves to ensure unimpaired heating and cooling and to prevent the windows
misting over.•The air from the outlets flows through the passenger compartment and
out through the slots below the rear window. Therefore, do not cover these
slots with items of clothing or other objects.•The air conditioning system operates most effectively with the windows
and the sliding/tilting roof* closed. However, if the vehicle has heated up
after standing in the sun for some time, the air inside can be cooled more
quickly by opening the windows briefly.
