The vehicle key includes an emitter and battery. The receiver is in the interi-
or of the vehicle. The range of the vehicle key with remote control and new
battery is several metres around the vehicle. If it is not possible to open or close the vehicle using the remote control key,
this should be re-synchronised

Only press alarm button 2
in the event of an emergency! When the alarm
button is pressed, the vehicle horn is heard and the turn signals are switch-
ed on for a short time. When the alarm button is pressed again, the alarm is
switched off.
Replacing a key
To obtain a spare key and other vehicle keys, the vehicle chassis number is
required.
Each new key contains a microchip which must be coded with the data from
the vehicle electronic immobiliser. A vehicle key will not work if it does not
contain microchip or the microchip has not been encoded. This is also true
for keys which are specially cut for the vehicle.
The vehicle keys or new spare keys can be obtained from a SEAT Official
Service, a specialised workshop or an approved key service qualified to cre-
ate this kind of key.
New keys or spare keys must be synchronised before use ⇒ page 91.

will trigger the alarm) or when, for example, the vehicle is transported or
has to be towed with only one axle on the ground.
False alarms
The interior monitoring only operates correctly if the vehicle is completely
closed. Please observe legal requirements when doing so.
The following cases may cause a false alarm:
● opened windows (partially or fully)
● panoramic/tilting sunroof open (partially or completely).
● movement of objects inside the vehicle, such as loose papers, items
hanging from the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc.
Note
● If the vehicle is relocked and the alarm is activated without the volumet-
ric sensor function, relocking will activate the alarm with all its functions,
except the volumetric sensor. This function is reactivated when the alarm is
switched on again, unless it is deliberately switched off.
● If the alarm has been triggered by the volumetric sensor, this will be in-
dicated by a flashing of the warning lamp on the driver door when the vehi-
cle is opened. The flash is different to the flash indicating the alarm is acti-
vated.
● The vibration of a mobile phone left inside the vehicle may cause the ve-
hicle interior monitoring alarm to trigger, as both sensors react to move-
ments and shakes inside the vehicle.
● If on activating the alarm, any door or the rear lid is open, only the alarm
will be activated. The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-tow system
will only be activated once all the doors are closed (including the rear lid). Deactivating the vehicle interior monitoring and tow-away
protection

When the vehicle is locked, the alarm will be triggered if move-
ments are detected in the interior (e.g. by animals) or if the vehi-
cle's inclination is changed (e.g. during transport). You can prevent
the alarm from being triggered accidentally by switching off the ve-
hicle interior monitoring and/or tow-away protection.
– To switch off the vehicle interior monitoring and tow-away pro-
tection, switch off the ignition and press button ⇒ Fig. 54. The
button will light up.
– When the vehicle is locked now, the vehicle interior monitoring
and the tow-away protection are switched off until the next time
the door is opened.
If the anti-theft security system (Safelock)* ⇒ page 87 is switched off, the
vehicle interior monitoring and the tow-away protection are automatically
switched off. 

WARNING
If the warning lamps and messages are ignored, the vehicle may stall in
traffic, or may cause accidents and severe injuries.
● Never ignore the warning lamps or text messages.
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
● Park the vehicle at a suitable distance away from the traffic ensuring
that the exhaust system is not in contact with inflammable material, for
example, dry grass, fuel, oil, etc.
● A faulty vehicle represents a risk of accident for the driver and for oth-
er road users. If necessary, switch on the hazard warning lamps and put
out the warning triangle to advise other drivers.
CAUTION
Failure to heed the control lamps and text messages when they appear may
result in faults in the vehicle. 

pressed. The control lamp  will light up.
Push the lever all the way down to turn off the corresponding function.
Convenience turn signals
For the convenience turn signals, move the lever as far as possible upwards
or downwards and release the lever. The turn signal will flash three times.
The convenience turn signals are activated and deactivated in the Easy Con-
nect system via the 
key and the Setup function button ⇒ page 79.
In vehicles that do not have the corresponding menu, this function can be
deactivated in a specialised workshop.
WARNING
Improper or lack of use of the turn signals, or forgetting to deactivate
them can confuse other road users. This could result in a serious acci-
dent.
● Always give warning when you are going to change lane, overtake or
when turning, activating the turn signal in good time.
● As soon as you have finished changing lane, overtaking or turning,
switch the turn signal off.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the headlights may cause accidents and serious injury,
as the main beam may distract or dazzle other drivers. 

Lights and visibility
WARNING
If the road is not well lit and other road users cannot see the vehicle well
enough or at all, accidents may occur.
● The automatic dipped beam control ( ) only switches on the dip-
ped beam when there are no changes in brightness, and not, for example
when it is foggy.
● Never drive with daytime lights if the road is not well lit due to weath-
er or lighting conditions. Daytime lights do not provide enough light to
illuminate the road properly or be seen by other road users.
● The rear lights do not come on with the daytime driving light. A vehi-
cle which does not have the rear lights on may not be visible to other
drivers in the darkness, in the case of heavy rain or in conditions of poor
visibility.
Note
In cold or damp weather conditions, the headlights, tail lights and turn sig-
nals may mist up inside temporarily. This is normal and in no way effects
the useful life of the vehicle lighting system. Hazard warning lights

The hazard warning lights are used to draw the attention of
other road users to your vehicle in emergencies.

Malfunctions
The following conditions may prevent the main beam headlight control from
turning off the headlights in time or from turning off altogether:
● In poorly lit towns with highly reflective signs.
● Other insufficiently lit road users (such as pedestrians or cyclists).
● On tight bends and steep slopes (bumps) and when oncoming vehicles
are partially obscured.
● When the drivers of other oncoming vehicles (such as a truck) can see
over a guard rail in the centre of the road.
● If the camera is damaged or the power supply is cut off.
● In fog, snow and heavy rain.
● With dust and sand turbulence.
● With loose gravel in the field of vision of the camera.
● When the field of vision of the camera is misted up, dirty or covered by
stickers, snow, ice...
WARNING
The convenience features of the main beam assist should not encourage
the taking of risks. The system is not a replacement for driver concentra-
tion.
● You are always in control of the main beam and adapting it to the
light, visibility and traffic conditions.
● It is possible that the main beam headlight control does not recog-
nise all driving situations and is limited under certain circumstances.
● When the field of vision of the camera is dirty, covered or damaged,
operation of the main beam control may be affected. This also applies
when changes are made to the vehicle lighting system, for example, if
additional headlights are installed.
CAUTION
To avoid affecting the operation of the system, take the following points in-
to consideration:
● Clean the field of vision of the camera regularly and make sure it is free
of snow and ice.
● Do not cover the field of vision of the camera.
● Check that the windscreen is not damaged in the area of the field of vi-
sion of the camera.
Note
Main beam and headlight flasher can be turned on and off manually at any
time with the turn signal and main beam lever ⇒ page 110. 
Adjusting the headlights
The light beam of the dipped beam lights is asymmetric: the side of the
road on which you are driving is lit more intensely. 
