– Remove the used battery from the cover.
– Insert the new battery. Make sure that the “+” symbol on the battery is facing downwards. The co rrect polarity is indicated on
the cover.
– After inserting the battery, align the cover and key and press the two parts together.
For the sake of the environmentUsed batteries must be disposed of at an appropriate waste facility or
through an authorised service, given that their components can affect the
environment.
Note
•The system must be re-synchronised after each battery replacement to be
able to lock and unlock the vehicle using the remote control ⇒page 107.•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 105 or by turning the
key in the lock in the driver door.
The windows can also be centrally opened or closed using the central locking
system ⇒page 111. The sunroof* 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.

100•The interior lights are switched off, provided the light switch is in the cour-
tesy light position.•The windows and the sunroof* will close as the key is held in the locking
position.•The anti-theft security system will be enabled immediately.
Locking the vehicle without activating the anti-theft security system
With the anti-theft security system enabled, it is more difficult to break into
the vehicle. If the anti-theft security system has been enabled, the inside
door handles and the central locking switch will not work ⇒.
If you are leaving passengers in the vehicle while it is parked, it is possible to
lock the vehicle without activating the anti-theft security system.
To do so, turn the key in the driver door twice in quick succession to position
⇒ page 99, fig. 70.WARNING
Do not leave anyone (especially children) in the vehicle 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.
Caution
If the driver door is locked using the key while open, the vehicle will be auto-
matically immobilised and the alarm triggered.
Note
•Please note that when the vehicle is locked without activating the anti-
theft mechanism, the anti-theft alarm* remains operative. You should there-
fore switch off the interior monitoring* before locking the vehicle, as other-
wise the alarm* could be triggered unintentionally.
•The driver door cannot be locked using the central locking system when it
is still open. The door must be locked separately after it has been closed. This
helps to prevent you from being locked out of the vehicle.Central locking switch
The central locking system can be enabled from inside the
vehicle using the central locking switch on the driver door.Locking the vehicle

108If 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 transported (e.g. by rail or ship).
