Operation
Childproof lock Fig. 36
Childproof lock on the left hand side
door The childproof lock prevents the rear doors
from being opened from the inside. This sys-
tem prevents minors from opening a door ac-
cidentally while the vehicle is running.
This function is independent of the vehicle
electronic opening and locking systems. It
only affects rear doors. It can only be activa-
ted and deactivated manually, as described
below:
Activating the childproof lock
– Unlock the vehicle and open the door in
which you wish to activate the childproof
lock.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in
the door using the ignition key, anti-clock-
wise for the left-hand side doors ››› Fig. 36 and clockwise for the right-hand side
doors.
Deactivating the childproof lock – Unlock the vehicle and open the door
whose childproof lock you want to deacti-
vate.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in
the door using the ignition key, anti-clock-
wise for the right-hand side doors, and
clockwise for the left-hand side doors
››› Fig. 36 .
Onc e the c
hildproof lock is activated, the
door can only be opened from the outside.
The childproof lock can be activated or deac-
tivated by inserting the key in the groove
when the door is open, as described above.
Rear lid Introduction WARNING
Careless and unsuitable locking, opening and
closing of the rear lid can cause accidents
and serious injury.
● Open and close the rear lid only when no-
body is in the way. ●
Do not close the rear lid by pushing it down
with your hand on the rear window. This
could break and cause injury.
● Ensure the rear lid is locked after closing,
otherwise, it may open unexpectedly while
driving. A closed rear lid should be flush with
the corresponding parts of the bodywork.
● Always keep the rear lid closed while driv-
ing to avoid toxic gases entering the vehicle
interior.
● Do not open the rear lid when there is a
load installed, for example a carrier system.
Likewise, the boot hatch cannot be opened
when a load is attached to it, for example bi-
cycles. An open rear lid could close itself if
there is an additional weight on it. If necessa-
ry, press down on the rear lid and remove the
load.
● Close and lock both the rear lid and all the
other doors when you are not using the vehi-
cle. Ensure that nobody remains inside the
vehicle.
● Never allow children to play inside or
around the vehicle without supervision, espe-
cially if the rear lid is open. Children could
enter the luggage compartment, close the
rear lid and become trapped. Depending on
the time of the year, temperatures inside a
locked and closed vehicle can be extremely
high or extremely low resulting in serious in-
juries and illness or even death, particularly
for young children.
● Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the vehicle. If the vehicle key or the 50

Opening and closing

locked in the vehicle.

Before opening the rear lid, ensure that there
is sufficient free space to open and close it,
for example if you are in a garage. Note

System (supplied by SEAT) ››› page 123 can
be seen if the rear lid has been left open or is
not correctly shut. Opening the rear lid

Unsuitable or careless unlocking and opening
of the rear lid could cause serious injuries.
● If there is a loaded luggage carrier on the
rear lid, it could be unlocked or open but not
recognised as such. An unlocked or open rear
lid could open unexpectedly while driving. Note
At outside temperatures of less than 0 °C
(+32 °F), the pressurised gas struts cannot
always automatically lift the rear lid. In this
case, open the rear lid manually. Closing the rear lid

doors or the rear lid, it will lock again auto-
matically after about 30 seconds. This func-
tion prevents the vehicle from remaining un-
locked if the unlocking button is pressed by
mistake.
Locking is only possible when the rear lid is
correctly and fully closed. »

panoramic sunroof
Introduction WARNING
If the sliding/tilting electric panoramic sun-
roof is used negligently or without paying
due attention, it can cause serious injury.
● The sliding/tilting sunroof should only be
opened or closed when no one is blocking its
path.
● After switching off, it is still possible to
open or close the sliding/tilting sunroof dur-
ing a short space of time provided that nei-
ther the driver nor passenger door is opened. CAUTION
● To prevent damage, when there are winter
temperatures any ice or snow that there may
be on the roof of the vehicle must be removed
before opening or raising the sliding/tilting
electric panoramic sunroof.
● Before leaving the vehicle or in the case of
heavy rain, the sliding/tilting sunroof must
always be closed. With the sliding/tilting
sunroof open or raised, water can enter the
passenger compartment and can cause con-
siderable damage to the electrical system. As
a result, other damage can occur in the vehi-
cle. ●
In the case of heavy rain, if the sliding/tilt-
ing sunroof is open, the interior equipment of
the vehicle may get wet, destroying the seat
heating and damaging the electrical system
of the vehicle. Note
● Leaves and other loose objects that land in
the guides of the sliding/tilting sunroof
should be removed periodically by hand or
using a vacuum cleaner.
● If the sliding/tilting sunroof does not work
correctly, the anti-trap function will not work
either. In this case, you should take the vehi-
cle to a specialised workshop. 53Technical specifications
