2014 Seat Toledo lock

Operation
Electric window opening and
closing Introduction WARNING
● When locking the vehicle from the outside,
make sure that nobody is inside the vehicle,
as the windows cannot be opened from the
inside in an emergency.
● For safety reasons, use safety button 5›››
Fig. 44 that deactivates the window
sw it
ches on the rear doors when children are
travelling in the rear seats. CAUTION
● Keep the windows clean to ensure the sys-
tem operates correctly.
● Defrost ››› page 125, Windows and exterior
mirrors any frozen windows before use. Oth-
er w

ise you run the risk of damaging the elec-
tric window riser mechanism.
● Always make sure all of the windows are
closed on leaving the locked vehicle. Note
● The vehicle heating and ventilation system
should be used to ventilate the interior while
driving. Leaving the windows open could al-
low dust and other dirt to enter the vehicle and cause unpleasant noises at certain
speeds.
● Do not leave the side windows open at high
speeds, as this will overly increase fuel con-
sumption. Using electric window switches

Note
● The parking lights  can only be activated
with the ignition disconnected.
● The parking light will not come on automat-
ically after switching off the ignition if the
left- or right-hand turn signal is left on. 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.
When a car that is manufactured in a country
that drives on the right travels to a country
that drives on the left (or vice versa), it is nor-
mally necessary to cover part of the headlight
bulbs with stickers or to change the adjust-
ment of the headlights to avoid dazzling oth-
er drivers.
In such cases, the regulations specify certain
light values that must be complied with for
designated points of the light distribution.
This is known as “Tourist light”.
The light distribution of the halogen and full-
LED headlights of the SEAT Toledo allows the
specific “tourist light” values to be met with-
out the need for stickers or changes in the
settings. Note
“Tourist light” is only allowed temporarily. If
you are planning a long stay in a country that
drives on the other side, you should take the
vehicle to an Authorised Technical Service to
change the headlights. Interior lights

Seats and head restraints
Folding the rear backrest Fig. 63
Unlocking the backrest. Folding
– Before folding the rear seats, adjust the po-
sition of the front seats so that the rear
seats are not damaged. When the front
seats are adjusted to the rear position,
their head restraints should be removed
before folding the backrests on the rear
seats. Store the removed head restraints in such a way that they cannot be soiled or
damaged.
– Insert the seat belt latch plate into hole A ›››
Fig. 63 located on the corresponding
s ide of
the vehicle – safety position.
– Press the lock button B to unlock the
backrest and fold it forward.
Returning to the initial position
– Where the head restraint has been re-
moved, insert it into the backrest when par-
tially raised.
– Push the backrest backwards to its original
position until the lock button engages –
check that it is locked by pulling on the
backrest ››› .
– Make sure the red protruding part C is not
visible. WARNING
● Once the backrests have been lifted, the
seat belts and their buckles must be in their
initial position – ready for use.
● The backrests must be safely locked to en-
sure any items in the boot cannot move
around the interior of the vehicle in the event
of a sudden braking manoeuvre. Risk of inju-
ries!
● Make sure the rear backrests are correctly
locked. Only then will the three-point auto-
matic seat belt on the rear central seat work
correctly. CAUTION
Take care when handling the rear backrests
so as not to damage the seat belts. The seat
belt must never be left behind the lifted back-
rest. 75

Operation
●
Always stow objects in the luggage com-
partment and secure them on the fastening
rings.
● Use suitable straps to secure heavy ob-
jects.
● During sudden manoeuvres or accidents,
loose objects can be thrown forward, injuring
vehicle occupants or passers-by. This in-
creased risk of injury will be further increased
if a loose object is struck by an inflating air-
bag. If this happens, objects may shoot out-
ward like a missile. Risk of fatal injury.
● Please note that the centre of gravity may
shift when transporting heavy objects; this
may affect vehicle handling and lead to an ac-
cident. Therefore, it is essential to adjust
your speed and driving style accordingly, to
avoid accidents.
● Never exceed the allowed axle weights or
allowed maximum weight. If said weights are
exceeded, the driving characteristics of the
vehicle may change, leading to accidents, in-
juries and damage to the vehicle.
● Never leave your vehicle unattended, espe-
cially when the rear lid is open. Children
could climb into the luggage compartment,
closing the door behind them; they will be
trapped and run the risk of death.
● Never allow children to play in or around
the vehicle. Close and lock all the doors and
rear lid when you leave the vehicle. Before
you lock the vehicle, make sure that there are
no adults or children in the vehicle. Note
● Air circulation in the vehicle helps reduce
fogging of the windows. Used air escapes
through ventilation slits in the side trim of
the luggage compartment. Ensure that the
ventilation slots are never covered.
● Straps for securing the load to the fasten-
ing rings are commercially available. Fastening rings*
There can be four fastening rings in the lug-
gage compartment for fastening luggage and
other objects.
–
Always use suitable and undamaged straps
to secure luggage and other objects to the fastening rings ››› in Loading the lug-
gage compartment on page 81.
– Pull up the fastening rings to attach the
straps.
During a collision or an accident, even small
and light objects can build up so much ener-
gy that they can cause very severe injuries.
The amount of kinetic “energy” depends on
the speed of the vehicle and the weight of
the object. The most significant factor, how-
ever, is the speed of the vehicle.
Example: An object weighing 4.5 kg is lying
unsecured in the vehicle. During a frontal col-
lision at a speed of 50 km/h (31 mph), this object generates a force corresponding to 20
times its weight. That means that the effec-
tive weight of the object increases to approxi-
mately 90 kg. You can imagine the severity of
the injuries which might be sustained if this
“object” strikes an occupant as it flies
through the interior of the vehicle. This in-
creased risk of injury will be further increased
if a loose object is struck by an inflating air-
bag.
WARNING
● If pieces of baggage or other objects are se-
cured to the fastening rings with inappropri-
ate or damaged retaining cords, injuries
could result in the event of braking manoeu-
vres or accidents.
● Never secure a child seat on the fastening
rings. Luggage compartment
Introduction Please observe the following points to ensure
the vehicle handles well at all times:
– Distribute the load as evenly as possible.
– Place heavy objects as far forward in the
luggage compartment as possible.
– Secure luggage using the fastening rings or
retaining net ›››
