Even though outside temperatures are above
freez in
g, some roads and bridges may be icy.
● At outside temperatures above +4°C
(+39°F), even when the “ice c
rystal symbol”
is not visible, there may still be patches of ice
on the road.
● Do not rely on the outside temperature in-
dicator! Note
● Differ ent
versions of the instrument panel
are available and therefore the versions and
instructions on the display may vary. In the
case of displays without warning or informa-
tion texts, faults are indicated exclusively by
the warning lamps.
● Depending on the equipment, some set-
tings
and instructions can also be carried out
in the Easy Connect system. ●
When sever a
l warnings are active at the
same time, the symbols are shown succes-
sively for a few seconds and will stay on until
the fault is rectified. Odometer

the trip recor
der indicates distances of 100
metres or tenths of a mile.
The trip recorder can be set to zero by press-

Operation
one of the handles permanently activates, all
windo
w
s will close. Note
● If the v
ehicle battery has little or no charge,
or the vehicle key battery is almost or entire-
ly out of charge, you will probably not be able
to lock or unlock the vehicle with the Keyless
Access system. The vehicle can be unlocked
or locked manually ››› page 87.
● To control the proper locking of the vehicle,
the rele
ase function is disabled for approx. 2
seconds.
● If the message Keyless access system
faulty is di
splayed on the screen of the
dash panel, abnormalities may occur in the
operation of the Keyless Access system. Con-
tact a specialised workshop. SEAT recom-
mends visiting a SEAT dealership for this.
● Depending on the function set on the info-
tainment sy
stem for the mirrors, the exterior
mirrors will unfold and the surround lighting
will come on when unlocking the vehicle us-
ing the sensor surface on the driver and pas-
senger door handles ››› page 141.
● If there is no valid key inside the vehicle or
the syst
em fails to detect one, a warning will
display on the dash panel screen. This could
happen if any other radio frequency signal in-
terferes with the key signal (e.g. from a mo-
bile device accessory) or if the key is covered
by another object (e.g. an aluminium case). ●
If the sen sor
s are very dirty, e.g. have a lay-
er of salt, how the sensors on the door han-
dles operate may be affected. In this case,
clean the vehicle.
● If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic
gearbo
x, it may only be locked in the gear
stick is in position P. Anti-theft security system (Safelock)*
The following message is displayed on the in-
strument
p
anel to remind the driver that
when the vehicle is closed from the outside,
the anti-theft security system is switched on. Do not forget the Safelock.
Please see Instruction Manual . The
vehicle cannot be opened from inside. This
makes it more difficult for unauthorised per-
sons to break into the vehicle ››› in De-
s c
ription on p
age 116.
The anti-theft security system can be switch-
ed off each time the vehicle is locked:
● Turn the key a second time to the lock posi-
tion, in the door lock, w
ithin two seconds. If
necessary, remove the protective cover on
the driver door handle ›››
page 10 or else
● Press on the remote control key for a
sec ond time
w
ithin 2 seconds.
The flashing frequency of the diode in the
door sill immediately confirms the process.
Initially, the diode flashes in a fast sequence for a brief period, then it stops for approxi-
mately
30 seconds and, lastly continues
flashing slowly.
