Anti-theft alarm system*Description
The system triggers an alarm if anyone attempts to break into
the vehicle.The anti-theft alarm helps to prevent the vehicle being broken into or stolen.
If the system senses interference with the vehicle, it triggers an audible and
visible alarm.
How is the system enabled?
The anti-theft alarm system is enabled automatically when the vehicle is
locked with the remote control or by turning the key in the driver door (if the
door is closed). The anti-theft alarm is enabled about 30 seconds after the
vehicle is locked.
How is the system disabled?
The anti-theft alarm is only disabled when the vehicle is unlocked using the
remote control. The vehicle will lock again automatically if none of the doors
is opened within 60 seconds after pressing the remote control button.
If the vehicle is unlocked by turning the key in the driver door, all the other
doors, the tailgate and the tank flap will remain locked.
If the vehicle has been unlocked with the key in the driver door, the key must
be inserted in the ignition lock and the ignition switched on within 15
seconds of opening the door in order to disable the alarm. The alarm will be
triggered if the ignition is not switched on within 15 seconds.

•Doors•Tilt angle (tow-away protection)•Ignition•Radio (only with a factory-fitted SEAT radio)•Interior ⇒page 107
If any of these 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.
Turn sig nals
The turn signals 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 turn signals do not flash, check the doors, the bonnet and the tailgate
to make sure they are properly closed. The turn signals will also flash briefly
if one of the doors or the tailgate or engine bonnet is closed after the alarm
system has been enabled.
LED
When the vehicle is locked, the LED on the top of the driver 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 monitoring
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 sunroof* 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 monitoring triggers an alarm if it detects move-
ment inside the vehicle.You should disable the interior monitoring if there is a possibility
that the alarm could be triggered, e.g. by a pet or by an object
moving inside the vehicle ⇒ . The tow-away protection feature,
which is integrated into the alarm system, should be disabled if the
vehicle is being towed or transp orted (e.g. by rail or ship).

Daytime running lights: In vehicles for countries where daytime running
lights are obligatory and in all vehicles with AFS headlights, daytime running
lights are turned on or off with the ignition. Daytime running lights have main
beam flashers, as usual, but not the dipped beam headlight function
The dipped beam headlights will only work with the ignition on. The head-
lights are automatically switched to side lights after the ignition has been
switched off.
If the side lights or the dipped beam headlights are turned on, the
 symbol
will come on together with the lights switch.
Note
•If the lights are left on after the key has been taken out of the ignition lock,
a buzzer sounds when the driver door is opened.•Observe all relevant legal requirements when using the signalling and
lighting systems described here.•Depending on weather conditions (cold or wet), the front lights, the fog
lights, the tail lights and the turn signals may be temporarily misted. This has
no influence on the useful life of the lighting system. By switching on the
lights, the area through which the beam of light is projected will quickly be
demisted. However, the edges may continue to be misted.

If you set the light switch to “AUTO”, the dipped headlights
will switch on and off automatically according to the ambient
light level.Turning on dipped beam headlights
–Turn the light switch ⇒ fig. 85 to the AUTO position.
Turning off dipped beam headlights
– Turn the light switch to position O.The symbol on the switch lights up when the switch is in the AUTO position.
The dipped beams, side lights, tail lights and number plate lights come on
together when the headlights are switched on automatically.
When you are using the automatic headlights switch, you can also operate
the main beam headlights, however, please note the following: If you enable the main beam headlights while using the automatic headlights function
during the day
(e.g. when driving through a tunnel), but do not disable them
again, only the dipped beam headlights will come on the next time the lights
are automatically switched on. To be able to use the main beam headlights
again, you must first pull the main beam lever back to the "off" position and
then push it forward again to "on".
The side lights, headlights, fog lights and rear fog light can still be switched
on manually in the normal way by using lights switch ⇒page 115.
The interior mirror is fitted with sensors that measure the ambient light. The
dipped beam headlights will be switched on automatically if the available
light drops below the factory preset value (for instance when driving through
a tunnel, etc.). The headlights switch off again automatically when the light
level increases ⇒.
WARNING
•The automatic dipped beam headlights are only intended to assist the
driver. Automatic dipped beam headlights do not relieve the driver of his or
her responsibility to control them and turn off or turn on the lights manu-
ally according to weather or lighting conditions. The light sensors are, for
example, unable to detect rain and fog - you should therefore always switch
on the dipped beam headlights
 manually in these conditions and when
driving after dark.
•Observe all relevant legal requirements when using the signalling and
lighting systems described here.Note
•If automatic headlight switching is activated, when the ignition is turned
off the dipped beam headlights are turned off, and when the key is removed
from the ignition the side lights are turned off.•If you have to attach any type of sticker on the windscreen, do not do so
in front of the sensors. Doing so could prevent the automatic dipped beam
