ith the
v

ehicle key the vehicle may be
locked or unlocked remotely ››› page 94.
The vehicle key includes an emitter and bat-
tery. The receiver is in the interior of the vehi-
cle. The range of the vehicle key with remote
control and new battery is several metres
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 94 or the bat-
tery changed ››› page 93. Different keys belonging to the vehicle may
be used.
Fo

lding the key shaft in and out
When the button is pressed ››› Fig. 96 A , the
k ey
sh

aft is released and unfolds.
To fold it press the button and fold the key
shaft in until it locks in place.
Spare 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 SEAT dealership, a Special-
ised workshop or approved key service quali-
fied to create this kind of key.
New keys or spare keys must be synchron-
ised before use ››› page 94. WARNING
Careless or incorrect use of vehicle keys may
re s

ult in severe injury and accident.
● Always take all the keys with you whenever
you le
ave the vehicle. Children and unauthor-
ised individuals could lock the doors or the boot hatch, start the engine or turn on the ig-
nition, activatin
g el

ectrical 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 vehic
le is in motion. The steering may
lock and it will not be possible to turn the
steering wheel. CAUTION
The remote control key contains electronic
component s. Pr

otect them from damage, im-
pacts and humidity. Note
● Only u

se 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.
● Remote control key operation can be great-
ly influenced b
y overlapping radio signals
around the vehicle working in the same range 92

Opening and closing
of frequencies (for example, radio
tran
smitt
ers, mobile telephones).
● Obstacles between the remote control and
the vehic
le, bad weather conditions and
draining batteries can considerably reduce
the range of the remote control.
● If the buttons of the vehicle key are press-
ed ›››

tons ››› page 94 is pressed repeatedly in
quick succession, the central locking briefly

 page 8 Central locking functions correctly when all
the doors and the r

ear lid are correctly shut.
If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot
be locked with the key.
The battery of an unlocked vehicle parked for
a long period (e.g. in a private garage) may
run down and fail to start the motor. WARNING
The incorrect use of the central locking sys-
tem m a

y cause serious injuries.
● The central locking system will lock all
doors. A v
ehicle locked from the inside can
prevent any non-authorised individual from
opening the doors and accessing the vehicle.
Nevertheless, in case of emergency or acci-
dent, locked doors will complicate access to
the vehicle interior to help the passengers.
● Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the v
ehicle. The central locking but-
ton can be used to lock all the doors from
within. Therefore, passengers will be locked
inside the vehicle. Individuals locked in the
vehicle can be exposed to very high or very
low temperatures.
● Depending on the time of the year, temper-
ature
s 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 leave individuals locked in a closed
and locked
vehicle. In case of emergency,
they may not be able to exit the vehicle by
themselves or get help. 94

Opening and closing
Description of the central locking sys-
t em The central locking system allows all doors
and the re
ar lid t
o be locked and unlocked
centrally.
● From outside, using the vehicle key.
● From inside, by pushing the central locking
button ›

›› page 97.
The central locking system can be activated
or deactivated at a specialised workshop.
In case of a vehicle key fault or central lock-
ing system fault, all doors can be locked or
unlocked manually.
Locking the vehicle after the airbags have
been deployed
If the airbags are deployed due to an acci-
dent, the vehicle will be automatically and
completely unlocked. Depending on the
amount of damage, it can be locked follow-
ing an accident in the following ways:
FunctionNecessary operations

If the buttons of the vehicle key are pressed
›› ›

page 92 or one of the central locking but-
tons ››› Fig. 103 is pressed repeatedly in
short succession, the central locking briefly
disconnects as protection against overload-
