ney).
The memory stores the values for the journey and the con-
sumption from the moment the ignition is switched on un-
til it is switched off again.
If the journey is broken for more than 2 hours, the memory
is automatically erased. If the journey is continued in less
than 2 hours after the ignition is switched off, the new da-
ta is added to the data already stored in the memory.

Note
If the buttons of the vehicle key are pressed ⇒ Fig. 12 or one of the central
locking buttons ⇒ page 32 is pressed repeatedly in short succession, the

Vehicle mechanical key
Fig. 13 Vehicle mechani-
cal key
The vehicle key set may include a mechanical key ⇒ Fig. 13.
Duplicate keys
To obtain a spare key and other vehicle keys, the vehicle chassis number is
required.
Each new key must contain a microchip and be coded with the data from the
vehicle electronic immobiliser. A vehicle key will not work if it does not con-
tain microchip or the microchip has not been encoded. This is also true for
keys cut for the vehicle.
The vehicle keys or new spare keys can be obtained from a SEAT dealership,
a Specialised workshop or approved key service qualified to create this kind
of key. Control lamp on the vehicle key

tor blinks several times, for example: for the convenience opening function.
When the control lamp does not light upon pushing a button, the batteries
of the vehicle key must be changed ⇒ page 31. 
