Opening and closing
CAUTION
The sensor surfaces on the door handles
c ou
ld 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 win-
dows is open and the sensor surface B on
one of the h

andles permanently activates, all
windows will close. If the water jet or steam
is briefly moved away from the sensor surface A (arrow) on one of the handles and then
point ed at

it again, all the windows will prob-
ably open ››› page 118. Note
● If the

vehicle 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 ››› page 85.
● To control the proper locking of the vehicle,
the rel
ease function is disabled for approx. 2
seconds.
● If the message Keyless access system
faulty is

displayed 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
system 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 and pas-
sen
g

er door handles ››› page 141.
● If there is no valid key inside the vehicle or
the sys
tem 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 s
alt, how the sensors on the door han-
dles operate may be affected. In this case,
clean the vehicle.
● If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic
ge
arbox, it may only be locked in the gear
stick is in position P. Anti-theft security system (Safelock)*
The following message is displayed on the in-
s
trument

panel to remind the driver that
when the vehicle is closed from the outside,
the anti-theft security system is switched on.  Do not forget the Safelock.
Please see Instruction Manual . The
vehicle cannot be opened from inside. This
makes it more difficult for unauthorised per-
sons to break into the vehicle ››› in De-
s c

ription on page 112.
The anti-theft security system can be switch-
ed off each time the vehicle is locked: ●
Turn the k
ey a second time to the lock posi-
tion, in the door lock, within two seconds. If
necessary, remove the protective cover on
the driver door handle ›››
 page 9 or else
● Press  on the remote control key for a
sec ond time

within 2 seconds.
The flashing frequency of the diode in the
door sill immediately confirms the process.
Initially, the diode flashes in a fast sequence
for a brief period, then it stops for approxi-
mately 30 seconds and, lastly continues
flashing slowly.

Deactivation – Open the vehicle with the key, either me-
ch

anically or by pressing the  button on
the r emot
e control. The time period from
when the door is opened until the key is in-
serted in the contact should not exceed 15
seconds, otherwise the alarm will be trig-
gered.
– Press the button  on the remote control
tw ic

e. The volumetric sensor and tilt sen-
sors will be deactivated. The alarm system
remains activated.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system are automatically switched on
again next time the vehicle is locked.
The vehicle interior monitoring and anti-tow
sensor (tilt sensor) are automatically switch-
ed on when the anti-theft alarm is switched
on. In order to activate it, all the doors and
the rear lid must be closed.
If you wish to switch off the vehicle interior
monitoring and the anti-tow system, it must
be done each time that the vehicle is locked;
if not, they will be automatically switched on.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system should be switched off if animals
are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise, their movements will trigger the alarm) or
when, for e

xample, the vehicle is transported
or has to be towed with only one axle on the
ground.
False alarms
Interior monitoring will only operate correctly
if the vehicle is completely closed. Please ob-
serve related legal requirements.
The following cases may cause a false alarm:
● Open windows (partially or fully).
● Panoramic/tilting sunroof open (partially or
comp
letely).
● Movement of objects inside the vehicle,
suc
h as loose papers, items hanging from
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc. Note
● If the

vehicle is relocked and the alarm is
activated without the volumetric sensor func-
tion, relocking will activate the alarm with all
its functions, except the volumetric sensor.
This function is reactivated when the alarm is
switched on again, unless it is deliberately
switched off.
● If the alarm has been triggered by the volu-
metric sen
sor, this will be indicated by a
flashing of the warning lamp on the driver
door when the vehicle is opened. The flash is
different to the flash indicating the alarm is
activated. 122
