ing the rear lid. Press button 
››› Fig. 133 3 until all the turn signals on the
v ehic
l

e flash briefly. When the unlocking but-
ton  3 is pressed, you have 2 minutes to

e thi

s time has passed, it
will lock again.
Moreover, the battery indicator on the key
››› Fig. 133 (arrow), will flash.
The remote control transmitter and the bat-
teries are integrated in the key. The receiver
is inside the vehicle. The maximum range de-
pends on different factors. The range is re-
duced as the batteries start to lose power.
Alarm button*
Only press alarm button in the event of an
emergency ››› Fig. 134 5 ! When the al
arm
b utt

on is pressed, the vehicle horn is heard
and the turn signals are switched on for a
short time. When the alarm button is pressed
again, the alarm is switched off. WARNING
Read and observe the relevant warnings ›››
in Set of keys on page 124.
Note
● The remot e c

ontrol key works only when
you are in its scope. ●
If the v

ehicle cannot be unlocked or locked
by using the radio frequency remote control,
the remote control key will have to be re-
synchronised. For this, go to your technical
services. Replacing the battery

Changing the battery ● Unfold the vehicle key blade ›››
page 124.
● Remove the cover from the back of the ve-
hicle k
ey ››› Fig. 135 in the direction of the ar-
row ››› .
● Extract the battery from the compartment
u s
in

g a suitable thin object ››› Fig. 136.
● Place the new battery in the compartment
as sho
wn ››› Fig. 136, pressing in the oppo-
site direction to that shown by the arrow
››› .
● Fit the cover as shown ››
›
Fig. 135 , pressing
it onto the vehicle key casing in the opposite
direction to that shown by the arrow until it
clicks into place. CAUTION
● If the b att

ery is not changed correctly, the
vehicle key may be damaged.
● Use of unsuitable batteries may damage
the vehic
le key. For this reason, always re-
place the dead battery with another of the
same voltage, size and specifications.
● When fitting the battery, check that the po-

Advice
The position of the battery is shown in the
c orr
e
sponding engine compartment diagram
››› page 270.
The “magic eye” indicator, located on the top
of the battery changes colour, depending on
the charge state and electrolyte level of the
battery.
There are two different colours:
● Black: correct charge status.
● Transparent/clear yellow: the battery must
be repl
aced. Contact a specialised workshop.
Charging or changing the battery The battery is maintenance-free and is
c
hec
k

ed during the inspection service. All
work on the vehicle battery requires special-
ist knowledge.
If you often drive short distances or if the ve-
hicle is not driven for long periods, the bat-
tery should be checked by a specialised
workshop between the scheduled services.
If the battery has discharged and you have
problems starting the vehicle, the battery
might be damaged. If this happens, we rec-
ommend you have the vehicle battery
checked by a Technical Service where it will
be re-charged or replaced. Charging the battery
The vehic

le battery should be charged by a
specialised workshop only, as batteries us-
ing special technology have been installed
and they must be charged in a controlled en-
vironment.
Replacing a vehicle battery
The battery has been developed to suit the
conditions of its location and has special
safety features.
Genuine SEAT batteries meet the mainte-
nance, performance and safety specifications
of your vehicle. WARNING
● We r ec

ommend you use only maintenance-
free or cycle free leak-proof batteries which
comply with standards T 825 06 and
VW 7 50 73. This standard applies as of
2001.
● Before starting any work on the batteries,
you mus
t read and observe the warnings
››› in Symbols and warnings on handling
the batt er

y on page 276. For the sake of the environment
Batteries contain toxic substances such as
su lphuric

acid and lead. They must be dis-
posed of appropriately and must not be dis-
posed of with ordinary household waste. Wheels

General notes Avoiding damage
– If you have to drive over a kerb or similar
ob s

tacle, drive very slowly and at a right
angle.
– Keep grease, oil and fuel off the tyres.
– Inspect the tyres regularly for damage
(cuts, c r

acks or blisters, etc.). Remove any
foreign objects embedded in the treads.
Storing tyres
– When you remove the tyres, mark them in
order to m

aintain the same direction of ro-
tation when they are installed again.
– When removed, the wheels and/or tyres
should be s

tored in a cool, dry and prefera-
bly dark location.
– Store tyres in a vertical position, if they are
not fitted on wheel

rims.
New tyres
New tyres must be run in ›››
page 191.
The tread depth of new tyres may vary, ac-
cording to the type and make of tyre and the
tread pattern.

Advice
Tyre useful life Fig. 239
Tyre tread wear indicators. Fig. 240
Diagram for changing wheels. The useful life of tyres is dependent on tyre
pr
e
s
sure, driving style and fitting.
Wear indicators
The original tyres on your vehicle have
1.6 mm high “tread wear indicators”
››› Fig. 239, running across the tread. De- pending on the make, there will be 6 to 8 of
them evenly

spaced around the tyre. Mark-
ings on the tyre sidewall (for instance the let-
ters “TWI” or other symbols) indicate the po-
sitions of the tread wear indicators. The mini-
mum tread depth required by law is 1.6 mm
(measured in the tread grooves next to the
tread wear indicators). Worn tyres must be re-
placed. Different figures may apply in export
countries ››› .
T y
r

e pressure
Incorrect tyre pressure causes premature
wear and could cause tyre blow-out. For this
reason, the tyre pressure should be checked
at least once per month ››› page 279.
Driving style
Fast cornering, heavy acceleration and hard
braking all increase tyre wear.
Changing wheels around
If the front tyres are worn considerably more
than the rear ones it is advisable to change
them around as shown ››› Fig. 240. The use-
ful life of all the tyres will then be about the
same time.
Wheel balance
The wheels on new vehicles are balanced.
However, various factors encountered in nor-
mal driving can cause them to become unbal-
anced, which results in steering vibration. Unbalanced wheels should be rebalanced, as
they otherw

ise cause excessive wear on
steering, suspension and tyres. A wheel must
also be rebalanced when a new tyre is fitted.
Incorrect wheel alignment
Incorrect running gear alignment causes ex-
cessive tyre wear, impairing the safety of the
vehicle. If tyres show excessive wear, you
should have the wheel alignment checked by
a Technical Service. WARNING
There is a serious danger of accidents if a tyre
bur s

ts during driving!
● The tyres must be replaced at the latest
when the trea
d wear indicators are worn
››› page 280. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in an accident. Worn tyres do not
grip well at high speeds on wet roads. There
is also a greater risk of “aquaplaning”.
● At continuously high speeds, a tyre with in-
sufficient
pressure flexes more. This causes it
to overheat. This can cause tread separation
and tyre blow-out. Risk of accident. Always
observe the recommended tyre pressures.
● If tyres show excessive wear, you should
have the ru
nning gear checked by a Technical
Service.
● Keep chemicals such as oil, fuel and brake
fluid awa
y from tyres.
● Damaged wheels and tyres must be re-
plac
ed immediately! 280
