2017 Seat Ateca buttons

Operation
The vehicle keys or new spare keys can be
o bt
ained from a SEAT Official Service, a spe-
cialised workshop or an approved key service
qualified to create this kind of key.
New keys or spare keys must be synchron-
ised before use ››› page 120. CAUTION
All of the vehicle keys contain electronic com-
ponent s. Pr

otect them from damage, impacts
and humidity. Note
● On ly

use 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.
● Key operation can be greatly influenced by
ov
erlapping radio signals close to the vehicle
working in the same range of frequencies, for
example, radio transmitters or mobile tele-
phones.
● Obstacles between the remote control and
the v
ehicle, bad weather conditions and dis-
charged batteries can considerably reduce
the range of the remote control.
● If the buttons of the vehicle key are press-
ed ››

› Fig. 121 or ››› Fig. 122 or one of the cen-
tral locking buttons ››› page 115 is pressed
repeatedly in short succession, the central
locking briefly disconnects as protection against overloading. The vehicle is then un-
loc
k

ed. Lock it if necessary. Unlocking/Locking by remote control

Operation
While the rear lid is in motion (either opening
or c lo
sing), it can be stopped with another
foot movement similar to the opening one
(provided a valid vehicle key is in the proxim-
ity of the rear lid).
The Easy Open feature is not available or only
has limited availability in the following situa-
tions (examples):
● If the rear bumper is very dirty.
● If the rear bumper is wet with salt water,
e.g. af
ter having driven on gritted roads.
● If the electrical unlocking tow hitch is not
co
vered.
● If the vehicle has been equipped at a later
time with a t
ow bracket.
In the event of heavy rain, the Easy Open fea-

What happens when locking the vehicle with
a second key
If there is a vehicle key inside the vehicle and
it is locked from the outside with a second
vehicle key, the key inside the vehicle is
blocked for engine ignition ››› page 165. In order to enable engine ignition, the button
on the key

 inside the vehicle needs to be
pr e
ssed.
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 a 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-
t

on  on the key.
● OR: if the rear lid is open.
● OR:

if the vehicle is unlocked manually with
the k
ey.

Operation
One-touch opening and closing One-touch opening and closing means you
do not
h
ave to hold down the button.
Buttons ››› Fig. 131 1 ,
2 ,
3 and
4 have
tw o po

sitions for opening windows and two
for closing them. This makes it easier to open
and close windows to the desired position.
One-touch closing
– Pull up the window button briefly up to the
second po

sition. The window closes fully.
One-touch opening
– Push down the window button briefly up to
the sec ond po

sition. The window opens
fully.
Resetting one-touch opening and closing
The automatic open and close function will
not work if the battery has been temporarily
disconnected. The function can be restored
as follows:
– Close the window as far as it will go by lift-
ing and ho

lding the electric window switch.
– Release the switch and then lift it again for
1 second.

This will re-enable the automatic
function.
If you push (or pull) a button to the first
stage, the window will open (or close) until
you release the button. If you push or lift the button briefly to the second stage, the win-
dow w

ill open (one-touch opening) or close

Sunroof*
Introduction The sunroof consists of two glass parts. The
r
e

ar part is fixed and cannot be opened. It al-
so has a sun blind. WARNING
If the sunroof is used negligently or without
p a

ying due attention, it can cause serious in-
jury.
● Open or close the sunroof and the sun blind
only
when no one is in their path of move-
ment.
● Never leave any key inside the vehicle
when ex
iting.
● Never leave a child or any other person who
ma
y need help in the vehicle, especially if
they have access to the vehicle key. If using
they key unattended, they could lock the ve-
hicle, start the engine, switch on the ignition
and activate the sunroof.
● After switching off, it is still possible to
open or clo
se the sunroof during a short space of time provided that neither the driver
nor p
a

ssenger door is opened. CAUTION
● To pr

event damage, during winter tempera-
tures remove any ice or snow that might be
on the car roof before opening the sunroof or
adjusting the tilt position.
● Before leaving the vehicle or in case of rain-
fa

ll, always close the sunroof. With the sun-
roof open or in a tilted position, water can en-
ter the interior and can cause considerable
damage to the electrical system. As a result,
other damage can occur in the vehicle. Note
● Le

aves and other loose objects that accu-
mulate on the sunroof rails should be regular-
ly cleaned away either by hand or with a vac-
uum.
● If the sunroof does not work correctly, the
anti-trap f
unction will not work either. Con-
tact a specialised workshop.
● Some settings can be saved in user ac-
cou
nts of the personalisation function
