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 110.

Operation
●
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-
do
w
s The electric windows are equipped with a
r
o
l

l-back system that reduces risk of injury
when closing windows. If an obstacle is present, the closing mecha-
nism wi

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 parking light will not come on automat-

left- or right-hand turn signal is left on. Adjusting the headlights
The light beam of the dipped beam lights is
asymmetric: the s
ide of

the road on which
you are driving is lit more intensely.
When a car that is manufactured in a country
that drives on the right travels to a country
that drives on the left (or vice versa), it is nor-
mally necessary to cover part of the headlight
bulbs with stickers or to change the adjust-
ment of the headlights to avoid dazzling oth-
er drivers.
In such cases, the regulations specify certain
light values that must be complied with for
designated points of the light distribution.
This is known as “Tourist light”.
The light distribution of the halogen and full-
LED headlights of the SEAT Toledo allows the
specific “tourist light” values to be met with-
out the need for stickers or changes in the
settings. Note
“Tourist light” is only allowed temporarily. If
you ar e p

lanning a long stay in a country that
drives on the other side, you should take the
vehicle to an Authorised Technical Service to
change the headlights. Interior lights
