The remote control key can
● Lock and unlock the vehicle
● Unlock or open the rear lid
The remot e c

ontrol transmitter and the bat-
teries are integrated in the key. The receiver
is inside the vehicle. The remote control key
has a maximum range of 30 metres. The
range is reduced as the batteries start to lose
power.
The key includes a foldaway part that can be
used to manually lock or unlock the vehicle
and to start the engine.
If a lost key is replaced or the receiver is re-
paired or changed, the remote control key
must be adapted by an authorised SEAT deal-
er. Only then can the remote control key be
used again. Note
● The remot e c

ontrol is automatically deacti-
vated when the ignition is switched on. ●
The remot e c

ontrol function may be tempo-
rarily limited by interference from other
transmitters near the vehicle that operate on
the same frequency (e.g. mobile phone, tele-
vision transmitter).
● If the central locking system or the anti-
theft a
larm only responds to the remote con-
trol at a distance of less than 3 metres, then
the battery must be replaced ››› page 106.

make sure that nobody is inside the vehicle,
as the windows cannot be opened from the
inside in an emergency.
● For safety reasons, use safety button 5 ›››

you run the risk of damaging the electric win-
dow riser mechanism. ●
Alw a

ys make sure all of the windows are
closed on leaving the locked vehicle. Note
● The vehic

le heating and ventilation system
should be used to ventilate the interior while
driving. Leaving the windows open could al-
low dust and other dirt to enter the vehicle
and cause unpleasant noises at certain
speeds.
● Do not leave the side windows open at high
speeds, a
s this will overly increase fuel con-
sumption. Note
The electric window opening mechanism is
equipped w ith a thermo

stat switch. This may
overheat if the window is opened and closed
repeatedly. This causes the window to lock
temporarily. Once the thermostat switch has
cooled down, the window can be operated
once again. Roll-back function on the electric win-

Operation
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-
back function will be once again connected. Lights and visibility

The location of the controls of right-hand
drive cars differs slightly from the location
shown here ››› Fig. 129 ››› page 117. 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. Control lamps
