cal Service with your vehicle identification
number. WARNING
● An incorr ect
use of the keys can cause seri-
ous injuries.
● Never leave children or disabled persons in
the vehic
le. In case of emergency, they may
not be able to leave the vehicle or manage on
their own.
● An uncontrolled use of the key could start
the engine or activat
e any electric equipment
(e.g. electric windows), causing risk of acci-
dent. The doors can be locked using the re-
mote control key. This could become an ob-
stacle for assistance in an emergency situa-
tion.
● Never forget the keys inside the vehicle. An
unauthori
sed use of your vehicle could result
in injury, damage or theft. Therefore always
take the key with you when you leave the ve-
hicle.
● Never remove the key from the ignition if
the vehic
le is in motion. Otherwise, the steer-
ing could suddenly block and it would be im-
possible to steer the vehicle. CAUTION

dren un
accompanied inside, as from the out-
side it will be difficult to provide assistance if
required.
● Having the doors locked prevents intruders

Automatically disabling sensors
If the vehicle is not locked or unlocked for a
long period of time, the proximity sensors on
the passenger doors are automatically disa-
bled.
If one of the sensor surfaces on the door han-
dles is often activated in an unusual manner
with the vehicle locked (e.g. by the branches
of a bush rubbing against it), all proximity
sensors are disabled for a certain period of
time.
Sensors will again be enabled: ● After a time.
● OR: if the vehicle is unlocked with the but-
ton on the key.
● OR: if the rear lid is open.
● OR: if
the vehicle is unlocked manually with
the key
.
Keyless Access temporary disconnection
function
There is a sequence of actions to be followed
if you wish to temporarily deactivate Keyless
Access. First of all, lock the vehicle with the
key. As of this moment, you have 5 seconds to perform the second locking action through
the door handle sen
sor.
If this second action is performed more than
5 seconds after the vehicle is locked with the
key, it will not be possible to deactivate Key-
less Access.
Once Keyless Access has been temporarily
deactivated, the vehicle can only be unlocked
using the key. The Keyless Access function
will be reactivated once it has been unlocked.
Convenience functions
To close all the electric windows using the
convenience function, keep a finger on the
locking sensor surface ››› Fig. 141 B (arrow)
of the door h
andl
e for a few seconds until the
windows have closed.
The doors opened by touching the sensor
surface of the door handle depend on the
settings that have been activated in the Easy
Connect system with the button and the
S ET
TINGS and
Openin
g and c
lo
sing function but-
t on
s. CAUTION
The sensor surfaces on the door handles
cou l
d engage if hit with a water jet or high
pressure steam if there is a valid vehicle key
in the proximity. If at least one of the electric
windows is open and the sensor surface B (arrow) on the handle is activated continu-
ous
ly
, all windows 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.
● 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 door han-
dle.
● 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 sensors are very dirty, e.g. have a lay-
er of sa
lt, the correct functioning of the sen-
sors on the door handles may be affected. In
this case, clean the vehicle. » 131
