Keys
General notes
Fig. 42 Key with remote control/Key without remote control Two keys are always supplied with the vehicle. Depending on the model ver-
sion, your car may include keys without remote control ⇒ Fig. 42  or with
remote control ⇒ Fig. 42 .
WARNING
● Never leave the key inside whenever you leave the vehicle - even if
only for a moment. This is particularly important if children are to remain
in the vehicle. They might start the engine or some other electrical com-
ponent, e.g. electric windows. Risk of injury!
● Wait until the vehicle has completely stopped before taking the key
out of the ignition. Otherwise the steering wheel may lock suddenly. Risk
of accident!
CAUTION
● Each key contains electronic components and must, therefore, be pro-
tected from damp and strong vibrations.
● Keep the grooves in the key shaft clean. Any dirt (fibre from clothing,
dust, etc.) has a negative impact on locks, ignition, etc.
Note
Should a key be lost, request a duplicate key from an Authorised SEAT deal-
er. 
Replacing the battery in the remote control key
Fig. 43 Remote control key: removing the cover/taking out the battery
Each remote control key contains a battery that is fitted below the
cover A
⇒ Fig. 43. If the battery is flat, the red control lamp
⇒ Fig. 42  will not light up when one of the buttons is pressed. 

Opening and closing
Manual locking
Fig. 47 Rear door: man-
ual locking
On the front of a door with no lock cylinder there is an emergency
locking device that is only visible when the door is open.
Locking
– Remove the cap A
⇒ Fig. 47.
– Insert the key in the slot B
and turn it in the direction of the
arrow until horizontal (on the other direction on the right-hand
door).
– Replace the cap.
Once the door has been locked, it can no longer be opened from the out-
side. The door can be opened from the inside by pulling the door handle. Remote control
General notes
The remote control key can
● Lock and unlock the vehicle
● Unlock or open the rear lid
The remote control transmitter and the batteries are integrated in the key.
The receiver is inside the vehicle. The remote control key has a maximum
range of 30 metres. The range is reduced as the batteries start to lose pow-
er.
The key includes a foldaway part that can be used to manually lock or un-
lock the vehicle and to start the engine.
If a lost key is replaced or the receiver is repaired or changed, the remove
control key must be adapted by an authorised SEAT dealer. Only then can
the remote control key be used again.
Note
● The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is
switched on.
● The remote control function may be temporarily limited by interference
from other transmitters near the vehicle that operate on the same frequency
(e.g. mobile phone, television transmitter).
● If the central locking system or the anti-theft alarm only responds to the
remote control at a distance of less than 3 m, then the battery much be re-
placed ⇒ page 84.
● If the driver door is open, the vehicle can not be locked using the remote
control. 

Opening and closing
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 92, Vehicle interior monitoring and tow-away protec-
tion system
● The interior ⇒ page 92, 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. 
