away protection system
Fig. 41
Button for vehicle interior monitoring
and the tow-away protection system. The Vehicle interior monitoring system is acti-
vated if movements are detected in the interi-
or of the vehicle.
Deactivating Vehicle interior monitoring and
the tow-away protection system
– Switch the ignition off.
– Open the driver door. –
Press the
››› Fig. 41 button on the centre
column. The red backlit symbol on the
button turns orange.
– Lock the vehicle within the next 30 sec-
onds.
The Vehicle interior monitoring system and
the tow-away protection system are reactiva-
ted when the vehicle is unlocked again. Note
● The vehicle interior monitoring system and
the tow-away protection system must be de-
activated if there is a danger of the alarm be-
ing triggered due to movements by children
or animals in the interior when being trans-
ported (e.g. by boat or by train) or towed.
● The effectiveness of the Vehicle interior
monitoring system is reduced if the spectacle
case is left open. Always close the storage
compartment before locking the vehicle to
ensure that this monitoring system operates
correctly. Rear lid
Automatic boot hatch lock Where the vehicle has been locked by press-
ing the
button on the remote control with
the boot lid open, the boot lid will lock auto-
matically when closed. The automatic rear lid locking time extension
function can be activated. When this function
is activated and once the boot lid has been
unlocked by pressing the
button on the
remote control key 2
››› page 52, the boot
lid can be re-opened for a certain length of
time.
Where required, the automatic boot lid lock-
ing time extension function can be activated
or deactivated at a SEAT Authorised Service,
which will provide all of the necessary infor-
mation.
Before the vehicle locks automatically, there
is a risk of intruders getting into the vehicle.
Therefore, we recommend you always lock
the vehicle by pressing the button on the
remote control or by using the key without re-
mote control ››› page 55

the net. Risk of damaging the net! 84
Operation
Electronic differential lock If one of the wheels starts to skid, the EDL
brakes that wheel, transmitting the driving
force to the other wheels. This increases ve-
hicle stability and improves driving stability.
To prevent the disc brake of the braking
wheel from overheating, the EDL cuts out au-
tomatically if subjected to excessive loads.
The vehicle will continue to function normally
without EDL. The EDL will switch on again au-
tomatically when the brake has cooled down.
Parking aid* Functioning Fig. 96
Parking aid: range of the sensors. Ultrasound sensors are used so that the park-
ing aid system can calculate the distance be- tween the rear bumper and an obstacle. The
sensors are located in the rear bumper.
Sensor range
The warning begins at a distance of 160 cm
from the obstacle (zone
A
››› Fig. 96 ). As the
o b
stacle is approached, the audible warning
sounds with increasing frequency.
Within a distance of approximately 30 cm
(zone B ), a warning tone will sound continu-
ously. Danger zone. Stop reversing immedi-
ately!
In vehicles factory-fitted with certain audio or
radio-navigation system models, the dis-
tance from the obstacle is displayed graphi-
cally on the screen. See the audio or naviga-
tion system Instruction Manual.
In vehicles factory-fitted with a towing sys-
tem, the rear area at which the system starts
to indicate the obstacle is extended by
around 5 centimetres. The length of the vehi-
cle can be extended by a detachable towing
bracket.
In vehicles factory-fitted with towing equip-
ment, the sensors are deactivated when tow-
ing a trailer or caravan.
Switching the parking aid system on and off
Parking aid is switched on when the ignition
is on and reverse gear engaged. This is con-
firmed by a short audible warning. Parking aid is switched off when reverse gear
is released. WARNING
● Parking aid does not free the driver from re-
sponsibility when parking or performing sim-
ilar manoeuvres. Pay special attention to
small children or animals, as the parking aid
sensors may not always be able to detect
them.
● Before reversing or parking, make sure
there are no small obstacles, e.g. rocks, nar-
row pillars, towing brackets, etc. in front or
behind the vehicle. These obstacles may not
always be detected by the parking aid device.
● The surface of certain objects may not re-
flect the signals of the parking aid sensors.
Therefore, people wearing clothing of this
kind may not be detected by the parking aid
system.
● Outside noise may interfere with the park-
ing aid system. Under certain unfavourable
circumstances, certain objects or people may
not be detected. Note
● If a constant sound at a higher frequency is
emitted for 3 seconds each time the system is
switched on, there is a fault in the system.
Please take the vehicle to a specialised tech-
nical service to repair this fault. 110
Advice
Wheel bolts The wheel bolts
are m atched to the rims.
When installing different wheels, e.g. to fit
light alloy wheels or wheels with winter tyres,
it is important to use the correct wheel bolts
with the right length and correctly shaped
bolt heads. This is essential for a secure fit of
the wheels and for proper operation of the
brake system.
Changing a wheel If possible, change the wheel on a level sur-
face.
– Pull off the hub cap ›››
page 151 or the
wheel bolt covers ›››
page 151.
– First loosen the anti-theft wheel bolts and
then the other wheel bolts ›››
page 152.
– Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be
changed is no longer touching the ground
››› page 153 .
– Remo
ve the wheel bolts and place them on
a clean surface (cloth, paper, etc.).
– Take off the wheel.
– Lift the spare wheel into position and tight-
en the wheel bolts lightly.
– Lower the vehicle. –
Tighten the wheel bolts firmly in diagonal
sequence with the box spanner and then
the anti-theft wheel bolt ››› page 152.
– Replace the hub cap and/or the bolt cov-
ers. Note
● All bolts must be clean and turn easily.
● Never grease or oil the wheel bolts!
● Note the direction of rotation when putting
on a tyre with a directional tread pattern
››› page 144. After changing a wheel
Tasks that must be carried out after changing
a wheel:
– Place the wheel with the defective tyre in
the spare wheel well and secure it using a
special bolt ›››
page 146 .
– Put
the vehicle tools back in their storage
location.
– Check the tyre pressure of the newly fitted
s
pare wheel as soon as possible.
– Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bo
lts checked as soon as possible with a
torque wrench.
– Have the flat tyre replaced or ask an Official
Service about the possibility of repair. Note
● If you notice that the wheel bolts are rusty
and difficult to turn when changing a wheel,
they must be replaced before having the
tightening torque checked.
● Drive carefully and at moderate speeds un-
til the tightening torque of the wheel bolts
has been checked. Loosening and tightening wheel bolts
