Keyless Access is a key-free lock and ignition

surfaces to be touched on the door handles

General information
If a valid key is located in the proximity of the
car ››› Fig. 122, the Keyless Access lock and
ignition system gives the key entry as soon
as one of the sensor surfaces on the door
handles is touched or the push button on the
boot hatch is operated. The following fea-
tures are then available without having to
use the vehicle key actively:
● Keyless-Entry: unlocking of the vehicle with
the handle
s on the four doors or the button
located on the boot hatch.
● Keyless-Go: engine ignition and driving. For
this t
o occur, there has to be a valid key in-
side the vehicle and the ››› page 155.
● Keyless-Exit: unlocking of the vehicle with
one of the four door h
andle.
The central locking and locking systems oper-
ate in the same way as a normal locking and
unlocking system. Only the controls change.
Unlocking the vehicle is confirmed with a
double flash of the indicator lights; locking
by a single flash.
The vehicle will lock again after a few sec-
onds if you unlock the vehicle but fail to open
any door or boot hatch. Unlocking and opening the doors (Keyless-

General
notes The anti-theft alarm system increases vehicle
prot
ection fr

om intruders. The system will ini-
tiate acoustic and optical warning signals
when your vehicle is tried to be forced.
Activating the alarm system
The anti-theft alarm switches on automatical-
ly when the vehicle is locked using the re-
mote control key or inserting the key in the
driver door. The alarm is activated around 30
seconds after the vehicle is locked.
Deactivating the alarm system
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated
when the remote control unlock button is
pressed. If the vehicle is not opened within
30 seconds after emitting the radio frequen-
cy signal, the system will be reactivated.
If the vehicle is unlocked using by inserting
the key in the driver door, the ignition must
be switched on within 15 seconds. This deac-
tivates the alarm system. If, during these 15
seconds, the vehicle is not started , the alarm
is triggered . When does the system trigger an alarm?

The rear lid opening system operates electri-
cally. It is activated by using the handle on
the boot lid. This system may or may not be operative, de-
pending on the sit

uation of the vehicle.
If the rear lid is locked then it cannot be
opened, however if it is unlocked then the
opening system is operative and the rear lid
may be opened.

A warning appears on the instrument panel
display if the boot lid is open or not properly
closed.* An audible warning is also given if
the boot lid is opened while the vehicle is
moving faster than 6 km/h (4 mph)*. WARNING
● Alw a

ys close the rear lid properly. Risk of
accident or injury.
● Do not close the rear lid by pushing it down
with y
our hand on the rear window. The glass
could smash. Risk of injury!
● Ensure the rear lid is locked after closing it.
If not, it m
ay open unexpectedly while driv-
ing.
● Never allow children to play in or around
the vehic
le. A locked vehicle can be subjected
to extremely high and low temperatures, de-
pending on the time of year, thus causing se-
rious injuries/illness. It could even have fatal
consequences. Close and lock both the rear
lid and all the other doors when you are not
using the vehicle. ●
Clo s

ing the rear lid without observing and
ensuring it is clear could cause serious injury
to you and to third parties. Make sure that no
one is in the path of the rear lid.
● Never drive with the rear lid open or half-
closed, e
xhaust gases may penetrate into the
interior of the vehicle. Danger of poisoning!
● If you only open the rear lid, do not leave
the key in
side. The vehicle will not be opened
if the key is left inside. Note
● Onc e the r e

ar lid is closed, its lock is en-
gaged and the alarm system is activated. On-
ly valid if the vehicle has been locked before
the rear lid is closed.
● The release catch located at the top of the
regi
stration plate recess is deactivated on ac-
celerating or at speeds of over 5 km/h (3
mph). The catch is reactivated when the vehi-
cle comes to a standstill and a door is
opened. 119

Lights and visibility
If an obstacle is present, the closing mecha-
ni sm w
i
ll stop and the window will roll back a
few centimetres.
If an obstacle prevents closing for the next
10 seconds, the closing mechanism will once
again stop and the window will roll back an-
other few centimetres.
If in the next 10 seconds you attempt to close
the window after it has rolled back the sec-
ond time, only the closing mechanism will be
stopped even if the obstacle is still present.
The roll-back function is still connected.
The roll-back function will only be disconnec-
ted if you once again attempt to close the
window in the following 10 seconds. In this
case, the window will close at full force .
If you wait for a further 10 seconds, the roll-

The location of the controls of right-hand
drive cars differs slightly from the location
shown here ››› Fig. 129 ››› page 121. Howev-
er, the symbols indicating the respective po-
sitions of the controls remain the same. WARNING
Never drive with only the side lights on! The
side light s

are not bright enough to illumi-
nate the road ahead and to ensure that other
road users are able to see you. Always use
your dipped beam headlights if it is dark or if
visibility is poor. CAUTION
● Use the light s

in line with local law.
● However, drivers always remain responsi-
ble f
or correctly adjusting and using the
lights. Note
● An audibl e w

arning will be heard when the
light control is set to  and you remove the ignition key and open the door. Once the
driver door i
s

closed (ignition off), the audi-
ble warning will stop, whereas the side lights
will remain on to light up the stationary vehi-
cle in case this is necessary.
● Depending on weather conditions (cold or
wet), the lights
may mist up temporarily on
the inside. This is particularly the case in the
event of a difference in temperature between
the inside and in front of the light. By switch-
ing on the lights, the area through which the
beam of light is projected will quickly be
demisted, although the edges may remain
misted. The real lights and turn signals can
mist up. This has no influence on the useful
life of the lighting system. Side light and dipped beam headlight

Windscreen wipers and wind-

r
een washers
Introduction The windscreen wipers and windscreen
wa
sher

s only work when the ignition is
switched on.
The speed of the automatic wipe in case of
rain is automatically adjusted according to
the intensity of the rainfall.
The rear window is wiped once if the wind-
screen wipers are switched on and reverse
gear is engaged.
Fill the windscreen washer fluid ›››
page 210. WARNING
● Mak e s

ure the blades ›››
 page 53 are in
perfect condition for good visibility and safe
driving.
● In cold conditions, you should not use the
wash/w
ipe system unless you have warmed
the windscreen with the heating and ventila-
tion system. The windscreen washer fluid
could otherwise freeze on the windscreen and
obscure your view of the road. CAUTION
● Durin g w

inter, always check that the wind-
screen wiper blades are not frozen to the
glass before each trip or before switching on the ignition. If you switch on the windscreen
wiper
s

when the wiper blades are frozen to
the glass, this could damage both the wiper
blades and the wiper motor.
● If the ignition is switched off when the
winds
creen wipers are on, they will start op-
erating in the same mode when the ignition
is switched back on. The wiper blades may be
frozen to the glass at low temperatures when
the ignition is switched off.
● Carefully separate the frozen wipers from
the winds
creen or rear window.
● Remove snow and ice from the wipers be-
fore s
tarting your journey.
● Careless handling could lead to the wiper
arms dam
aging the windscreen.
● For safety reasons, the wiper blades should
be chan
ged once or twice a year. They can be
purchased at a SEAT Authorised Service.
● The ignition cannot be switched on while
the winds
creen wiper arms are in a raised po-
sition. Otherwise, the windscreen wipers
would return to their original position and
could damage the paintwork on the bonnet. Note
Keep the wipers clean. The wipers can be
soil ed w

ith remains of wax solutions from car
washes ››› page 195.
