Depending upon the equipment fitted in the
vehicle, instead of a warning lamp, some-
times a symbol may be displayed on the in-
strument panel.
When certain control and warning lamps are
lit, an audible warning is also heard. WARNING
If the warning lamps and messages are ignor-
ed, the v ehic
le may stall in traffic, or may
cause accidents and severe injuries.
● Never ignore the warning lamps or text
mess
ages.
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
● Park the vehicle away from traffic and en-
sure th
at there are no highly flammable ma-
terials under the vehicle that could come into
contact with the exhaust system (e.g. dry
grass, fuel).
● A faulty vehicle represents a risk of acci-
dent for the driv
er and for other road users. If
necessary, switch on the hazard warning
lamps and put out the warning triangle to ad-
vise other drivers.
● Before opening the bonnet, switch off the
engine and al
low it to cool.
● In any vehicle, the engine compartment is a
hazar
dous area and could cause severe inju-
ries ››› page 204. CAUTION

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

rarily limited by interference from other
transmitters near the vehicle that operate on
the same frequency (e.g. mobile phone, tele-

● If the central locking system or the anti-

trol at a distance of less than 3 metres, then
the battery must be replaced ››› page 110.

nent, e.g. electric windows. Risk of injury!
● Wait until the vehicle has completely stop-
ped before t

Otherwise the steering wheel may lock sud-
denly. Risk of accident! CAUTION

Keyless Access is a key-free locking and igni-
tion sy
s
t
em to unlock and lock the vehicle
without actively using its key. For this, all that is required is to have a valid vehicle key near
›››
Fig. 124 the vehicle and one of the sensor
surfaces on the door handles to be touched
››› Fig. 125.
General information
If a valid key is in the proximity of the car
››› Fig. 124, the Keyless Access locking and
starting system gives the key entry as soon
as one of the sensor surfaces on the door
handles is touched or the push button on the
boot hatch is operated. The following fea-
tures are then available without having to
use the vehicle key actively:
● Keyless-Entry: unlocking of the vehicle with
the handle
s on the four doors or the button
on the boot hatch.
● Keyless-Go: engine ignition and driving. For
this t
o occur, there has to be a valid key in-
side the vehicle and the ››› page 155. igni-
tion push button needs to be pressed.
● Keyless-Exit: locking of the vehicle with one
of the four door h
andles.
The central locking and locking systems oper-
ate in the same way as a normal locking and
unlocking system. Only the controls change.
Unlocking the vehicle is confirmed with a
double flash of the indicator lights; locking
by a single flash. The vehicle will lock again after a few sec-
onds if
you unlock the vehicle but fail to open
any door or boot hatch.
Unlocking and opening the doors (Keyless-
Entry)
● Grip the door handle. In doing this, the
sensor sur
face ››› Fig. 125 A (arrow) on the
h andl
e i
s touched and the vehicle unlocks.
● Open the door.
On vehic
les without a “Safe” security sys-
tem: closing and locking the doors (Keyless-
Exit)
● Switch the ignition off.
● Close the driver's door.
● Touch (once) the sensor surface B (arrow)
on the door h andl
e.
The door that is used
must be closed.
On vehicles with a “Safe” security system:
shutting and locking doors (Keyless-Exit)
● Switch the ignition off.
● Close the driver's door.
● Touch (once) the sensor surface B (arrow)
on the door h andl

The vehicle locks with
the “Safe” ››› page 112 system. The door that
is used must be closed.

Opening and closing
Unlocking and locking the boot hatch
When the v
ehic
le is locked, the hatch auto-
matically unlocks on opening if ››› Fig. 124
there is a valid vehicle key in the proximity.
Open or close the hatch normally
››› page 118.
After closing, the hatch locks automatically.
In the following instances, the rear lid does
not lock automatically after closing:
● If the entire vehicle is unlocked.
● If the key used last is inside the vehicle. All
vehicl
e indicator lights flash four times. The
vehicle will lock again after a few seconds if
no door or boot hatch are opened.
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 152. In
order to enable engine ignition, the button
on the key inside the vehicle needs to be
pressed ››› page 108.
Automatically disabling sensors
If the vehicle is not locked or unlocked for a
long period of time, the proximity sensor on
the passenger door is 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 bu
sh rubbing against it), all proximity
sensors are disabled for a time. If this only
happens with the exterior sensor on the driv-
er's door, only this sensor is disabled.
Sensors will again be enabled:
● After a time.
● OR: if the vehicle is unlocked with the but-
ton
on the key.
● OR: if the boot is opened.

● Close the door.
● Push the central locking button on the
remote c

if the vehicle is locked through the driver’s
door lock.
● To check that the function has been deacti-
vated, w
ait at least 10 seconds, grip and pull on the door handle. The door should not
open.
The next time the door c
an only be unlocked
via the remote control or the lock cylinder.
The next time the door is locked/unlocked,
Keyless Access will be active again.

the windscreen with the heating and ventila-
tion system. The windscreen washer fluid
could otherwise freeze on the windscreen and
obscure your view of the road. CAUTION
● Durin g w

Before beginning any journey, adjust the rear

● Con v
ex (wide-angle) rear vision mirrors give
a larger field of vision. However, they make
objects appear smaller and further away than
they really are. For this reason, you should not rely on these rear vision mirrors for judg-

s
tance of vehicle behind.
● If possible, use the interior rear vision mir-
ror to e
stimate distances to vehicles behind
you. Note
● Ext erior mirr or

engine is running.
● Do not touch the exterior mirrors when the
heating sy

● If the electrical adjustment should ever fail
to operat

justed by hand by pressing the edge of the
