Remote control synchronisation
If the vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked using the remote control, the
code of the key might not match that of the control unit. This can occur
when the remote control buttons are frequently pressed outside the range
of the system or if the remote control battery has been replaced.
In this case, it must be synchronised as follows:
●Press any key on the remote control key.
● Open the door using the key within the next minute.
Anti-theft alarm system
General notes
The anti-theft alarm system increases vehicle protection from intruders. If
the anti-theft alarm system senses interference with the vehicle it triggers
an audible and visible alarm.
Activating the alarm system
The anti-theft alarm switches on automatically when the vehicle is locked
using the remote control key or inserting the key in the driver door. The
alarm is activated around 30 seconds after the vehicle is locked.
Deactivating the alarm system
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated when the remote control unlock
button is pressed. If the vehicle is not opened within 30 seconds after emit-
ting the radiofrequency signal, the system will be reactivated.
If the vehicle is unlocked using by inserting the key in the driver door, the
ignition must be switched on within 15 seconds. This deactivates the alarm system. If, during these 15 seconds, the vehicle is not started
, the alarm is
triggered.
When does the system trigger an alarm?
The following areas of the vehicle are monitored:
● Bonnet
● Rear lid
● Doors
● Ignition
● Tilt angle ⇒ page 89, Vehicle interior monitoring and tow-away protec-
tion system
● The interior ⇒ page 89, Vehicle interior monitoring and tow-away pro-
tection system
● Drop in voltage in the car systems
● The factory-fitted towing bracket
The alarm is triggered immediately if one of the battery cables is disconnec-
ted while the alarm system is active.
How to turn off the alarm
To deactivate the alarm, press the unlock button on the remote control key
or switch on the ignition.
Note
● The alarm horn power supply has a 5-year useful life. Contact an Official
Service for more detailed information.
● To make sure that the anti-theft alarm is fully operative when leaving the
vehicle, check that all the doors and windows are closed.
● Remote control and receiver unit coding means that the remote control
cannot be used on other vehicles.

road. If the vehicle is towed with the rear wheels lifted off the road
the automatic gearbox will be damaged!
It is easier and safer to tow a vehicle with a towbar. A towrope
should only be used if you do not have a towbar.
Follow the instructions below when towing a vehicle:
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
– Engage the clutch very gently when starting to move or on vehi-
cles with automatic gearbox press the accelerator carefully.
– On vehicles with manual gearbox, the towrope must be taut be-
fore driving off.
The maximum towing speed is 50 km/h (31 mph).
Notes for the driver of the towed vehicle
– The ignition should be switched on so that the steering wheel
lock is not engaged and the turn signals, horn and windscreen
wipers and washers can be used.
– Put the gear lever in neutral or move the selector lever to posi-
tion N (automatic gearbox).
The brake servo and power steering only work when the engine is
running. Considerably more effort is required on the brake pedal
and steering wheel when the engine is switched off.
Ensure the towrope remains taut at all times when towing.
CAUTION
● Do not tow-start the engine. Risk of engine damage! In vehicles with a
catalytic converter, unburnt fuel could reach the catalytic converter and
catch fire in it. This could damage and destroy the catalytic converter. Use
the battery from another vehicle for help in starting the engine ⇒ page 206,
Starting the engine.
● If, due to a fault, there is no oil in the gearbox, the car may only be tow-
ed with the driven wheels lifted clear of the road and transported on a spe-
cial vehicle transporter or trailer.
● If normal towing is not possible or if the vehicle is to be towed for further
than 50 km (31 miles), the vehicle must be transported on a special vehicle
transporter or trailer.
● The towrope should be slightly elastic to reduce the loading on both ve-
hicles during towing. It is advisable to use a towrope made of synthetic fibre
or similar material only.
● Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle and always take care to
avoid jerking the towrope. When towing on a loose surface there is always a
risk of overloading and damaging the anchorage points.
● Attach the towrope or towbar only to the towline anchorages or to the
removable towing bracket ⇒ page 161, or ⇒ page 209.
Note
● We recommend you use the towrope or towbar available in the SEAT
Original Accessories programme from authorised SEAT dealers.
● Towing a vehicle requires some experience. Both drivers should be fa-
miliar with the technique required for towing. Inexperienced drivers should
not attempt to tow away another vehicle or to have their vehicle towed.
● Note the legal regulations concerning towing, particularly those regard-
ing the signalling of the towed and towing vehicle.
● The towrope must not be twisted, as under certain circumstances this
could unscrew the front towline anchorage.
