Programming the garage door remote control
Functions from up to 3 different remote controls for different products can be
transferred to the buttons on the sunshade ( for example, the electric system
for a gateway or a garage door, a house alarm or a lighting system).Before programming
xBefore programming the garage remote control, always read the instruc-
tion manual from the product manufacturer.
xAlways stop your vehicle safe distance from the system.
xWhen programming, turn on the ignition but do not start the engine.
Before programming the unit for the first time:
xPress the buttons and until the indicator above the button begins
to blink.
xRelease both buttons. This erases the factory settings. There is no need to
do this again to program the remaining buttons.
xHowever, if you hold in the buttons for more time, the factory settings will
be re-established.
Programming
xBefore programming, carry out the initial steps Ÿpage 110.
xPut your system's remote control, for example the remote to operate the
garage door, within 30 cm of the sunshade button Ÿfig. 64. If this is too far
away, you may have to repeat the procedure.
xNow, simultaneously hold in the button on your system's remote control
and the button , or until the indicator above the button blinks, first
slowly then more quickly Ÿfig. 65.
xRelease both buttons. The function from your system's remote control is
transferred to the corresponding button.
To transfer other functions to other buttons of the garage door remote control,
repeat the procedure described above with the button to be programmed.

Safety FirstOperating instructionsPractical tipsTe c h n i c a l D a t a The storing of the data allows specialised workshops to detect and repair
faults. Stored data may include:
xData relating to the engine or the gearbox
xSpeed
xDirection of travel
xBraking force
xDetection of seat belt
The vehicle control units never record conversations held by passengers in
the vehicle.
In vehicles equipped with an emergency call function via the mobile phone or
other appliances connected in the vehicle, it is possible to send the vehicle
position. If the control unit records an accident with airbag activation, the
system may automatically send a signal. This will depend on the network
operator. Normally, transmission is only possible in areas with good
coverage.
Event Data Recorder
The vehicle is not fitted with an event data recorder.
An event data recorder temporarily stores the vehicle information. Therefore,
in the event of accident, it is possible to obtain detailed information about
how the accident occurred. For example, in vehicles with airbag systems,
data relating to speed of impact, seat belt status, seat positions and airbag
activation times may be stored. The volume of data depends on the manufac-
turer.
Event data recorders can only be mounted with authorisation from the vehicle
owner and, in some countries, they are governed by local legislation.
Reprogramming control units
On the whole, all the data required for the component management is stored
in the control units. The programming of certain convenience functions, such
as the convenience indicators, individual door opening and instructions on
the display can be modified using special equipment at the workshop. If this is the case, the information and descriptions given in the instructions manual
will not match the original functions. Therefore, SEAT recommends that any
modifications are recorded in the section “Other workshop notes” in the
Maintenance Programme.
The Technical Service must have a record of any modification to the program-
ming.
Reading the vehicle fault memory
There is a diagnostics connector in the vehicle interior for reading the vehicle
fault memory. The fault memory documents errors and deviations from the
theoretical values of the electronic control units.
The diagnostics connector is in the driver's side footwell area, next to the
lever for opening the bonnet, below a cover.
The fault memory should only be read and reset by a qualified workshop.
Using a mobile telephone in a vehicle without connection to
an exterior aerial
Mobile telephones transmit and receive radio waves, both when in use and
when on stand-by. Scientific studies state that radio waves exceeding certain
values may be harmful to the human body. International committees and
authorities have established limits and directives in order to ensure electro-
magnetic radiation from mobile phones remains within certain limits that do
not endanger human health. However, there is no available conclusive scien-
tific evidence that cordless phones are completely safe.
Therefore, some experts recommend that use of mobile phone be kept to a
minimum until the results of current research are published.
When a mobile phone not connected to an exterior aerial is used inside the
vehicle, the electromagnetic radiation may be greater than if the mobile
phone were connected to a built-in aerial or to another exterior aerial.
