● In
vehicles with the LongLife system in
which the b

Opening and closing
The opening angle is memorised. Memorisa-
tion i s
indicated by blinking of the hazard
warning lights and an audible warning.
Resetting and memorising the opening angle
For the rear lid to reopen completely, the
opening angle must be reset and memorised
again.
● Release the rear lid and open it to the
memorised height
.
● Lift the rear lid by hand until it stops. To do
this, some f
orce will have to be used.
● Press the  ››
› Fig. 129 button available in
the rear lid for at least 3 seconds.
● This resets and memorises the factory-set
opening an
gle. Memorisation is indicated by
blinking of the hazard warning lights and an
audible warning.
Automatic protection against overheating
If the system is operated repeatedly in a
short space of time, it automatically switches
off to prevent overheating.
Once the system is cool again, the function
can be reused. Until then the rear lid can only
be opened and closed by hand using reason-
able force.
If with the rear lid open the vehicle battery is
disconnected ››› page 289 or the corre-
sponding fuse burns out ››› page 90, the sys- tem will have to be reset. This requires clos-
ing the r

ear lid completely once.
Emergency unlocking
›››  page 11 WARNING
If a lot of snow builds up on the rear lid or it
i s

heavily loaded, the rear lid may not open
or, after opening, it may lower by itself due to
the extra weight and cause serious injury.
● Never open the rear lid when there is a lot
of s
now on it or when carrying a load (e.g. on
a rack).
● Before opening the rear lid, remove the
sno
w or the load. WARNING
If the rear lid is closed incorrectly or without
due c ar

e, it could result in serious injury.
● Never leave the vehicle unattended or allow
chi
ldren to play inside or next to it, especially
if the rear lid is open. Children could enter
the luggage compartment, close the rear lid
and become trapped. A locked vehicle can
reach extremely high and low temperatures,
depending on the time of year, thus causing
serious injuries, illness or even death. CAUTION
Before opening or closing the rear lid, make
s ur

e that there is enough space to open or close it, e.g. when pulling a trailer or in a ga-
r
ag

e. Tailgate automatic lock
Where the vehicle has been locked by press-
in
g the  button on the remote control with
the r e

ar lid open, the rear lid will lock auto-
matically when closed.
The automatic tailgate locking time extension
function can be activated. Where this func-
tion is activated and once the rear lid has
been unlocked by pressing the  button on
the r emot

e control key ››› page 114, the rear
lid can be re-opened for a certain length of
time.
Where required, the automatic tailgate lock-
ing time extension function can be activated
or deactivated at an Authorised SEAT Service,
which will provide all the necessary informa-
tion.
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
r emot

e control or by using the central locking
button. WARNING

Operation
One-touch opening and closing One-touch opening and closing means you
do not
h
ave to hold down the button.
Buttons ››› Fig. 131 1 ,
2 ,
3 and
4 have
tw o po

sitions for opening windows and two
for closing them. This makes it easier to open
and close windows to the desired position.
One-touch closing
– Pull up the window button briefly up to the
second po

sition. The window closes fully.
One-touch opening
– Push down the window button briefly up to
the sec ond po

sition. The window opens
fully.
Resetting one-touch opening and closing
The automatic open and close function will
not work if the battery has been temporarily
disconnected. The function can be restored
as follows:
– Close the window as far as it will go by lift-
ing and ho

lding the electric window switch.
– Release the switch and then lift it again for
1 second.

This will re-enable the automatic
function.
If you push (or pull) a button to the first
stage, the window will open (or close) until
you release the button. If you push or lift the button briefly to the second stage, the win-
dow w

ill open (one-touch opening) or close
(one-touch closing) automatically. If you op-
erate the button while the window is opening
or closing, it stops at this position.
Sunroof*
Introduction The sunroof consists of two glass parts. The
r
e

ar part is fixed and cannot be opened. It al-
so has a sun blind. WARNING
If the sunroof is used negligently or without
p a

ying due attention, it can cause serious in-
jury.
● Open or close the sunroof and the sun blind
only
when no one is in their path of move-
ment.
● Never leave any key inside the vehicle
when ex
iting.
● Never leave a child or any other person who
ma
y need help in the vehicle, especially if
they have access to the vehicle key. If using
they key unattended, they could lock the ve-
hicle, start the engine, switch on the ignition
and activate the sunroof.
● After switching off, it is still possible to
open or clo
se the sunroof during a short space of time provided that neither the driver
nor p
a

ssenger door is opened. CAUTION
● To pr

event damage, during winter tempera-
tures remove any ice or snow that might be
on the car roof before opening the sunroof or
adjusting the tilt position.
● Before leaving the vehicle or in case of rain-
fa

ll, always close the sunroof. With the sun-
roof open or in a tilted position, water can en-
ter the interior and can cause considerable
damage to the electrical system. As a result,
other damage can occur in the vehicle. Note
● Le

aves and other loose objects that accu-
mulate on the sunroof rails should be regular-
ly cleaned away either by hand or with a vac-
uum.
● If the sunroof does not work correctly, the
anti-trap f
unction will not work either. Con-
tact a specialised workshop.
● Some settings can be saved in user ac-
cou
nts of the personalisation function

Lights and visibility
The light distribution of the halogen and full-
LED he a
dlights allows the specific “tourist
light” values to be met without the need for
stickers or changes in the settings. Note
“Tourist light” is only allowed temporarily. If
y ou ar

e 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. Headlight range control, lighting of

He
adlight range control
The headlight range control ››› Fig. 136 is
modified according to the value of the head-
light beam and the vehicle load status. This
offers the driver optimum visibility and the
headlights do not dazzle oncoming drivers

The he a

dlights can only be adjusted when
the dipped beam is switched on.
To reset, turn switch ››› Fig. 136:

If the vehicle load does not correspond to those shown in the
table, it is possible to select intermediary positions.
Dynamic headlight range control
The control is not mounted in vehicles with
dynamic headlight range control. The head- light range is automatically adjusted accord-
ing t

o the vehicle load status when they are
switched on.
Instrument panel lighting
With the ignition on and without light activa-
tion, the instrument panel lighting remains
activated in daytime light conditions. The
lighting is reduced as the exterior light di-
minishes. In some cases, e.g. when driving
through a tunnel without the  function
active, the instrument panel lighting may
even switch off. The objective of this function
is to provide the driver with a visual indica-
tion that he or she should activate the dip-
ped beam. WARNING
Heavy objects in the vehicle may mean that
the he a

dlights dazzle and distract other driv-
ers. This could result in a serious accident.
● Adjust the light beam to the vehicle load
st

atus so that it does not blind other drivers. 137
