2018 Seat Arona boot

Operation
Once the doors have been locked, they can-
not be opened ag
ain immedi
ately. This will
enable you to check that the doors are prop-
erly closed.
If you wish, when unlocking, you can unlock
only the driver’s door, the side being un-
locked, or the entire vehicle. The necessary
adjustments can be performed in vehicles
with a driver information system
›››  page 34.
General information
If a valid key is located in the proximity of the
car ››› Fig. 142, the Keyless Access locking
and starting system gives the key entry as
soon as one of the sensor surfaces on the
driver door handle is touched. The following
features are then available without having to
use the vehicle key actively:
● Keyless-Entry: unloc
king the vehicle using
the handle of the front driver’s door or the
softtouch/handle on the rear lid.
● Keyless-Exit: lockin
g the vehicle using the
sensor on the driver door handle.
● Press & Drive: keyle
ss starting of the en-
gine with the starter button ››› page 176.
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 fl

ash of the indicator lights; locking
by a single flash.
If the vehicle is locked and then all doors and
the rear lid are closed leaving the last key
used inside the vehicle and none outside,
the vehicle will not lock immediately. All the
vehicle's indicator lights will flash four times.
The vehicle will lock after a few seconds if
you do not open any door or the rear lid.
The vehicle will lock again after a few sec-
onds if you unlock the vehicle but fail to open
any door or boot hatch.

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 an 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 
butt

Transport and practical equipment
●
Never e x
ceed the allowed axle weights or
allowed maximum weight. If said weights are
exceeded, the driving characteristics of the
vehicle may change, leading to accidents, in-
juries and damage to the vehicle.
● Please note that the centre of gravity may
shift when tr
ansporting heavy objects; this
may affect vehicle handling and lead to an ac-
cident. Therefore, it is essential to adjust
your speed and driving style accordingly, to
avoid accidents.
● Never leave your vehicle unattended, espe-
cia
lly when the rear lid is open. Children
could climb into the luggage compartment,
closing the door behind them; they will be
trapped and run the risk of death.
● Never allow children to play in or around
the vehic
le. Close and lock all the doors and
the rear lid when you leave the vehicle. Be-
fore you lock the vehicle, make sure that
there are no adults or children in the vehicle.
● Please observe the notes on the ›››
page 75. CAUTION
Hard objects on the rear shelf could chafe
again s

t the wires of the heating element in
the heated rear window and cause damage. Note
● The tyr e pr

essure must be adjusted accord-
ing to the load. When necessary, check the
tyre pressures on the adhesive label stuck to the back of the front left door frame
›› ›

page 284.
● Air circulation in the vehicle helps reduce
foggin
g of the windows. Used air escapes
through ventilation slits in the side trim of
the luggage compartment. Ensure that the
ventilation slots are never covered.
● Straps for securing the load to the fasten-
ing ring
s* are commercially available from ac-
cessory shops. Rear shelf

slation in force at the time (for more infor-
mation, see the Publications Office of the Eu-
ropean Union on the EUR-Lex website: © Eu-
ropean Union, http://eur-lex.europa.eu/) and
apply to the specified vehicle characteristics.
The values relating to fuel consumption and
CO 2 emissions can be found in the documen-
tation provided to the purchaser of the vehi-
cle at the time of purchase.
Fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions depend
on the equipment/features of each individual
vehicle, as well as on the driving style, road
conditions, traffic conditions, environmental
conditions, load or number of passengers. Note
In practice, and considering all the factors
mentioned here, c on

sumption values can dif-
fer from those calculated in the current Euro-
pean regulations. Weights
Kerb weight refers to the basic model with a
f
uel
t

ank filled to 90% capacity and without
optional extras. The figure quoted includes
75 kg to allow for the weight of the driver.
Special versions, optional equipment fittings
or retro-fitting accessories will increase the
weight of the vehicle ››› . WARNING
● Ple a

se note that the centre of gravity may
shift when transporting heavy objects; this
may affect vehicle handling and lead to an ac-
cident. Always adjust your speed and driving
style to suit road conditions and require-
ments.
● Never exceed the gross axle weight rating
or the gros
s vehicle weight rating. If the per-
missible axle load or the permissible total
weight is exceeded, the driving characteris-
tics of the vehicle may change, leading to ac-
cidents, injuries and damage to the vehicle. Trailer mode
Tr
ai

ler weights The trailer weights and drawbar loads ap-
pr

ed are selected in intensive trials accord-
ing to precisely defined criteria. The ap-
proved trailer weights are valid for vehicles in
the EU for maximum speeds of 80 km/h (50
mph) (in certain circumstances up to 100
km/h (62 mph)). The figures may be different
in other countries. All data in the official vehi-
cle documentation takes precedence over
these data at all times ››› .
