2015 Seat Alhambra wheel

Airbag system
Fig. 14
Location and deployment area of the
front airbag for the front passenger In conjunction with the seat belts, the front
airbag system gives the driver and the front
passenger additional protection for the head
and chest in the event of a severe frontal col-
lision. Always remains as far away as possi-
ble from the front airbag. This way, in the
event of an accident, the front airbags can deploy fully when triggered, providing maxi-
mum protection.
The front airbag for the driver is located in
the steering wheel
››› Fig. 13 and the airbag
f or the fr
ont passenger is located in the dash
panel ››› Fig. 14. Airbags are identified by the
wor

d “AIRBAG”.
When the front airbags are triggered they fill
the zones marked in red (deployment area)
››› Fig. 13. Therefore, objects should never be
pl

aced or mounted in these areas ››› , Fac-
tory-fitted accessories are outside the range
of the front airbag for the driver and the front
passenger, e.g. the baseplate for the mobile
phone support.
The airbag covers fold out of the steering
wheel or dash panel when the driver and
front passenger front airbags are triggered
››› Fig. 14 . The airbag covers remain connec-
t ed t

o the steering wheel or the dash panel. WARNING
The airbag is deployed at high speed in frac-
tions of a second.
● Always keep the deployment areas of the
front airbags free.
● Never secure objects to the covers or in the
deployment area of the airbag modules, e.g.
drink holders or phone supports.
● The deployment space between the front
passengers and the airbags must not in any case be occupied by other passenger, pets
and objects.
●
Never fix any object to the windscreen
above the front airbag on the front passenger
side.
● Do not alter, cover or stick anything to the
steering wheel hub or the surface of the air-
bag module on the passenger side of the
dash panel. WARNING
Front airbags are deployed in front of the
steering wheel ››› Fig. 13
and the dash panel
› ›

› Fig. 14.
● When drivin
g, always hold the steering
wheel on the outer edge of the ring with both
hands: 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock position.
● Adjust the driver seat so that there is at
least 25 cm distance between your chest and
the hub of the steering wheel. If your physi-
cal constitution prevents you from meeting
these requirements, make sure you contact a
specialised workshop.
● Adjust the front passenger seat so there is
as much distance as possible between the
front passenger and the dash panel. Types of front passenger front airbag

page 42 WARNING
If the warning lamps and messages are ignor-
ed, the vehicle may stall in traffic, or may
cause accidents and severe injuries.
● Never ignore the warning lamps or text
messages.
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
● Park the vehicle away from traffic and en-
sure that there are no highly flammable ma-
terials under the vehicle that could come into
contact with the exhaust system (e.g. dry
grass, fuel). ●
A faulty vehicle represents a risk of acci-
dent for the driver and for other road users. If
necessary, switch on the hazard warning
lamps and put out the warning triangle to ad-
vise other drivers.
● Before opening the bonnet, switch off the
engine and allow it to cool.
● In any vehicle, the engine compartment is a
hazardous area and could cause severe inju-
ries ››› page 214. CAUTION
Failure to heed the control lamps and text
messages when they appear may result in
faults in the vehicle. SEAT information system
Introduction With the ignition switched on, it is possible
to read the different functions of the display
by scrolling through the menus.
In vehicles with a multifunction steering
wheel, there are no buttons on the wind-
screen wiper lever. The multifunction display
can only be controlled from the buttons on
the steering wheel.
The number of menus displayed on the in-
strument panel will vary according to the ve-
hicle electronics and equipment.A specialised workshop will be able to pro-
gramme or modify additional functions, ac-
cording to the vehicle equipment. SEAT rec-
ommends taking your car in for technical
service.
Some menu options can only be read when
the vehicle is at a standstill.
As long as a priority 1 warning is displayed, it
will not be possible to read the menus. To
display the menus, confirm the warning by
pressing
OK .

the

motely.
The vehicle key includes an emitter and bat-
teries. The receiver is in the interior of the ve-
hicle. The range of the vehicle key with re-
mote control and new batteries is several me-
tres around the vehicle.
If it is not possible to open or close the vehi-
cle using the remote control key, this should
be re-synchronised ››› page 57 or the bat-
tery changed ››› page 56.
Differ

ent keys belonging to the vehicle may
be used.
Folding the key shaft in and out
When the button is pressed A , the key shaft
is released and unfolds.
To fold it
press button A and fold the key
shaft in until it locks in place.
Replacing a key
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 elec-
tronic immobiliser. A vehicle key will not work
if it does not contain a microchip or the mi-
crochip 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 technical service centre, a
specialised workshop or approved key serv-
ice qualified to provide this kind of key.
New keys or spare keys must be synchron-
ised before use
››› page 57. WARNING
Careless or incorrect use of vehicle keys may
result in severe injury and accident.
● Always take all the keys with you whenever
you leave the vehicle. Children and unauthor-
ised individuals could lock the doors or the
boot hatch, start the engine or turn on the ig-
nition, activating electrical systems, the elec-
tric windows, for example.
● Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the car. They could be trapped in the
car in an emergency and will not be able to
get themselves to safety. For example, de-
pending on the time of the year, tempera-
tures inside a locked and closed vehicle can
be extremely high or extremely low resulting
in serious injuries and illness or even death,
particularly for young children.
● Never remove the key from the ignition if
the vehicle is in motion. The steering may
lock and it will not be possible to turn the
steering wheel. CAUTION
All of the vehicle keys contain electronic com-
ponents. Protect them from damage, impacts
and humidity. Note
● Only use the key button when you require
the corresponding function. Pushing the but-
ton unnecessarily could accidentally unlock
the vehicle or trigger the alarm. It is also pos-
sible even when you are outside the radius of
action.
● Key operation can be greatly influenced by
overlapping radio signals around the vehicle
working in the same range of frequencies
(e.g. radio transmitters, mobile telephones).
● Obstacles between the remote control and
the vehicle, bad weather conditions and
draining batteries can considerably reduce
the range of the remote control. 55
