102Opening and closing
One-touch opening
–Push down the window button briefly up to the second position.
The window opens fully.
Restoring one-touch opening and closing
– The automatic open and close function will not work if the bat-
tery has been temporarily disconnected. The function can be re-
stored as follows:
– Close the window as far as it will go by lifting and holding the
electric window switch.
– Release the switch and then lift it again for one second. This
will re-enable the automatic function.
If you push (or pull) a button to the first stage, the window will open (or
close) until you release the button. If you push or lift the button briefly to
the second stage, the window will open (one-touch opening) or close (one-
touch closing) automatically. If you operate the button while the window is
opening or closing, it stops at this position. 
Roll-back function
The roll-back function reduces the risk of injury when the
electric windows close.
● If a window is obstructed when closing automatically, the window stops
at this point and lowers immediately ⇒ 
.
● Next, check why the window does not close before attempting it again.
● If you try within the following 10 seconds and the window closes again
with difficulty or there is an obstruction, the automatic closing will stop
working for 10 seconds. ●
If the window is still obstructed, the window will stop at this point.
● If there is no obvious reason why the window cannot be closed, try to
close it again by pulling the tab within ten seconds. The window closes with
maximum force. The roll-back function is now deactivated.
If more than 10 seconds pass, the window will open fully when you operate
one of the buttons. One-touch closing is reactivated.
WARNING
● Incorrect use of the electric windows can result in injury.
● Always take the ignition key with you when leaving the vehicle, even
if you only intend to be gone for a short time. Please ensure that children
are never left alone inside the vehicle.
● The electric windows will work until the ignition has been switched
off and one of the front doors has been opened.
● Closing the windows without observing and ensuring it is clear could
cause serious injury to you and third parties. Make sure that no one is in
the path of a window.
● Never allow people to remain in the vehicle when you close the vehi-
cle from the outside. The windows cannot be opened even in an emergen-
cy.
● The roll-back function does not prevent fingers or other parts of the
body getting pinched against the window frame. Risk of accident.

Air conditioning
CAUTION
● Switch the air conditioner off if you think it may be broken. This will
avoid additional damage. Have the air conditioner checked by a specialised
workshop.
● Repairs to the air conditioner require specialist knowledge and special
tools. SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT Official Service.
Note

not be dried. To prevent fogging of the windows, SEAT recommends leaving
the cooling system (compressor) turned on. To do this, press the button 

The button lamp should light up.
● The maximum heat output required to defrost windows as quickly as
possible is only available when the engine has reached its normal running
temperature.
● Keep the air intake slots in front of the windscreen free of snow, ice and
leaves to ensure heating and cooling are not impaired, and to prevent the
windows from misting over. Air conditioner controls
