On-board computerIntroduction
The on-board computer provides you with useful information
during a journey, including average and current fuel
consumption, average speed, fuel range, driving time and
distance covered.Press RESET button ⇒page 86, fig. 60 to switch back and forward
between the functions of on-board computers 1 and 2.
The numbers in the display ⇒fig. 59 indicates which of the two memories is
currently in use. The figure 1 means that the display is showing the informa-
tion in the single journey memory (on-board computer 1). The figure 2 means
that the display is showing the information in the total journey memory (on-
board computer 2). Single-journey memory (on-board computer 1)
The single-journey memory processes the information on a journey from the
time the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. If the journey is
resumed
within two hours after the ignition is switched off, the new figures
are automatically included in the calculation. If the journey is interrupted for
more than two hours t h e s t o r e d i n f o r m a t i o n i s a u t o m a t i ca l l y e r a s e d w h e n y o u
resume your journey.
Total-journey memory (on-board computer 2)
Unlike the single-journey memory, the total-journey memory is not erased
automatically. Hence, you can determine the period for which you wish the
on-board computer to supply figures.
Fuel range
The estimated fuel range is displayed in km. The fuel range is displayed in
increments of 10 km.
Average fuel consumption
This mode shows the average fuel consumption since the memory was last
cancelled in litres/100 km.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
The display shows the instantaneous fuel consumption in litres/100 km.
When the vehicle is stationary, the computer will display the last value in the
memory.
Average speed
This mode shows the average speed driven since the memory was last
cancelled (in km/h).
Driving time
This display shows the period of time which has elapsed since the memory
was last cancelled. The longest possible period it can cover is 999 hours and
59 minutes.

lead to injuries.•Wait for the vehicle to come to a standstill before removing the ignition
key from the lock! Otherwise, the steering lock could engage suddenly,
causing an accident.

For the sake of the environmentUsed batteries must be disposed of appropriately and must not be discarded
with ordinary household waste.
Note
•The system must be re-synchronised after each battery replacement to be
able to lock and unlock the car using the remote control ⇒page 106.•The new battery must be of the same type as the original.Electronic immobiliser
The electronic immobiliser is designed to prevent unauthor-
ised persons from starting up the vehicle.There is an electronic chip inside the key which automatically deactivates the
immobiliser when the key is inserted into the ignition lock. The electronic
immobiliser is enabled automatically when the ignition key is removed from
the ignition lock after coming to a stop.
If an uncoded key is used, the message SAFE will appear in the trip recorder
display.
Note
•The engine can only be started using an original SEAT key with the correct
code.•It may not be possible to start the engine with the key if there is another
ignition key from a different make of vehicle on the same key tab.Central lockingDescription
The central locking system enables you to lock and unlock all
the doors, the tailgate and the tank flap together.The central locking system on your vehicle locks and unlocks all the doors
and the tank flap simultaneously. The tailgate is unlocked when the vehicle
is opened. However, the handle must be used to open it. The vehicle can be
locked and unlocked using the remote control ⇒ page 104 or by turning the
key in the lock in the driver's door.
The windows can also be centrally opened or closed using the central locking
system ⇒page 110. The sun roof* can be closed but not opened using the
central locking system.
The central locking system is combined with an anti-theft security system. If
the vehicle is locked with the key from the outside, the interior opening levers
stop working, which prevents unauthorised persons from entering the
vehicle.
Should the central locking system fail to work, you can still normally enable
all the locks individually. The fuel tank flap can be released manually if neces-
sary. For manual release of the tank flap ⇒page 217.

Automatic locking function (Auto Lock)*
The
Auto Lock* function automatically locks all doors and the tailgate when
the vehicle exceeds a speed of about 15 km/h.
The vehicle is unlocked again automatically when the ignition key is
removed. Alternatively, the driver can also unlock the vehicle using the
central locking switch
or by opening one of the doors.
WARNING
Do not leave anyone (especially children) inside the car if it is locked from
the outside and the anti-theft security system is enabled, as the doors and
windows cannot then be opened from the inside. Locked doors could delay
assistance in an emergency, potentially putting lives at risk.
Note
•Should the central locking system fail to work, you can still lock and
unlock the driver's door and the tailgate using the key. For manual release of
the tank flap ⇒page 217. Locking the doors manually if central locking fails
to work ⇒page 102.•The anti-theft mechanism and the anti-theft alarm* cannot be enabled if
the central locking is not working.•Never leave any valuable items in the vehicle unattended. Even a locked
vehicle is not a safe.

•The doors and the tailgate cannot be opened from the outside (for secu-
rity reasons, e.g. when stopped at traffic lights).•You can open the doors individually from the inside by pulling the inside
door handle.•When the driver's door is open, it cannot be locked by pressing the central
locking switch and then closing the door. This helps to prevent you from
being locked out of the vehicle. The door has to be locked separately after it
has been closed.•In the event of an accident in which the airbags inflate, doors locked from
the inside will be automatically unlocked to facilitate access and assistance.WARNING
The central locking switch is still operative when the ignition is switched
off. This switch can be used to automatically lock all the doors and the tail-
gate. However, since this makes it difficult to enter the car from the
outside, you should never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Locked
doors could delay assistance in an emergency, potentially putting lives at
risk.
Note
The central locking switch inside the vehicle will not be operative if the anti-
theft mechanism has been enabled.
