Note
● Never l e
ave any valuable items in the vehi-
cle unattended. Even a locked vehicle is not a
safe.
● If the diode on the driver door sill lights up
for about 30 sec
onds when the vehicle is
locked, the central locking system or anti-
theft alarm* is not working properly. You
should have the fault repaired at a SEAT Offi-
cial Service or specialised workshop.
● The vehicle interior monitoring of the anti-

control and new battery is several metres around the vehicle.
If it is not possible to open or close the vehi-

Control lamp on the vehicle key
When a button on the vehicle key is pressed,
the control lamp flashes ››› Fig. 131 (arrow)
once briefly, but if the button is held down for a longer period the control lamp flashes sev-

the alarm button is pressed again, the alarm
is switched off.
Spare key
To obtain a spare key and other vehicle keys,
the vehicle chassis number is required.
Each new key contains a microchip which
must be coded with the data from the vehicle
electronic immobiliser. A vehicle key will not
work if it does not contain a microchip or the
microchip has not been encoded. This is also
true for keys which are specially cut for the
vehicle. »

Please note the following when using the
central locking switch to lock your vehicle:
● It is not possible to open the doors or the
rear lid fr
om the outside (for safety reasons,
e.g. when stopped at traffic lights).
● The LED in the central locking switch lights
up when all the door
s are closed and locked.
● You can open the doors individually from
the inside b
y pulling the inside door handle. ●
In the event of
an accident in which the air-
bags inflate, doors locked from the inside will
be automatically unlocked to facilitate access
and assistance. WARNING
● The centr a
l locking switch also operates
when the ignition is switched off and auto-
matically locks all the vehicle doors when the
button is pressed.
● The central locking switch does not operate
if the v
ehicle is locked from the outside and
the anti-theft security system is switched on.
● Locked doors could delay assistance in an
emergency
, potentially putting lives at risk.
Do not leave anyone, especially children, in
the vehicle. Note
The doors and the tailgate are locked auto-
matic a
lly when the vehicle reaches a speed of
about 15 km/h (Auto Lock) ››› page 116. You
can unlock the vehicle again using button on the central locking switch.

Childproof lock 3
App lies to vehicles with 5 doors: Fig. 135
Childproof lock on the left hand side
door . The childproof lock prevents the rear doors
fr
om bein
g opened fr
om 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 y
ou wish to activate the childproof
lock.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in
the door usin
g the ignition key, clockwise
for the left hand side doors ››› Fig. 135 and
anti-clockwise for the right hand side
doors.
Deactivating the childproof lock – Unlock the vehicle and open the door
whose chi
ldproof lock you want to deacti-
vate.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in
the door usin
g the ignition key, anti-clock-
wise for the left hand side doors ››› Fig. 135
and clockwise for the right hand side
doors.
Once the childproof lock is activated, the
door can only be opened from the outside. The childproof lock can be activated or deac-
tivated b
y inserting the key in the groove
when the door is open, as described above.
Anti-theft alarm system* Des
cription The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to
bre
ak
into the vehicle or steal it.
The anti-theft alarm is automatically turned
on when the vehicle is locked with the key.
● The turn signal light will flash twice on
opening and de activ
ating the alarm.
● The turn signal light will flash once on clos-
ing and activatin
g the alarm.
When does the system trigger an alarm?
The anti-theft alarm siren will be triggered for
about 30 seconds accompanied by sound
and optical (flashing) warning signals and
will be repeated about ten times when the
vehicle is locked and the following unauthor-
ised actions are attempted:
● Opening a door that is mechanically un-
locked u
sing the vehicle key without switch-
ing on the ignition in the next 15 seconds (in
certain markets, such as the Netherlands,
there is no 15 second waiting time and the »

ample, the vehicle is transported
or has to be towed with only one axle on the
ground.
False alarms
Interior monitoring will only operate correctly
if the vehicle is completely closed. Please ob-
serve related legal requirements.
The following cases may cause a false alarm:
● Open windows (partially or fully).
● Panoramic/tilting sunroof open (partially or
compl
etely).
● Movement of objects inside the vehicle,
such a
s loose papers, items hanging from
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc. Note
● If the v
ehicle is relocked and the alarm is
activated without the volumetric sensor func-
tion, relocking will activate the alarm with all
its functions, except the volumetric sensor.
This function is reactivated when the alarm is
switched on again, unless it is deliberately
switched off.
● If the alarm has been triggered by the volu-
metric sensor
, this will be indicated by a
flashing of the warning lamp on the driver
door when the vehicle is opened. The flash is
different to the flash indicating the alarm is
activated. ●
The v ibr
ation of a mobile phone left inside
the vehicle may cause the vehicle interior
monitoring alarm to trigger, as both sensors
react to movements and shakes inside the ve-
hicle.
● If on activating the alarm, any door or the
rear lid i
s open, only the alarm will be activa-
ted. The vehicle interior monitoring and the
anti-tow system will only be activated once
all the doors are closed (including the rear
lid). Deactivating the vehicle interior moni-
