Description Read the additional information carefully
›› ›

 page 15
The vehicle can be locked and unlocked via
the central locking system. There are several
methods, depending on the vehicle equip-
ment:
● key with remote control ››
›

page 127 ,
● lock on driver door (emergency opening
›››
 page 15) or
● interior central locking switch ›››

page 128.
Unlocking one side of the vehicle only
When you lock the vehicle with the key, the
doors and the rear lid are locked. When you
open the door, you can either unlock only the
driver door, or all the vehicle doors. To select
the required option, use Easy Connect*
››› page 128.
Auto Lock*
The Auto Lock function locks the doors and
the rear lid when the vehicle exceeds a speed
of about 15 km/h (9 mph). The vehicle is unlocked again when the igni-
tion key i

s removed. Alternatively, the vehicle
can also be unlocked via the central locking
switch or by pulling one of the inside door
handles. The Auto Lock function can be
switched on and off on the sound system or
on the Easy Connect* system ››› page 128.
In the event of an accident in which the air-
bags inflate, the doors will be automatically
unlocked to facilitate access and assistance.
Anti-theft alarm system*
If the anti-theft alarm system senses interfer-
ence with the vehicle it triggers an audible
and visible alarm.
The anti-theft alarm system is automatically
switched on when locking the vehicle. It
switches off when the vehicle is unlocked
from a distance.
When the driver door is unlocked with the
key, you should switch on the ignition within
15 seconds. Otherwise the alarm will be trig-
gered. On some export versions, the alarm is
triggered immediately when you open a door.
To deactivate the alarm, press the  button
on the remote control key, or switch on the
ignition. After a certain time, the alarm will
automatically switch off.
Switch off the vehicle interior monitoring and
tow-away protection if you wish to prevent the alarm from being triggered accidentally
››› page 136.
Turn signals
The turn signals will flash twice when the ve-
hicle is unlocked and once when the vehicle
is locked.
If it does not flash, this indicates that one of
the doors, the rear lid or the bonnet is not
closed correctly.
Accidental lock-out
The central locking system prevents you from
being locked out of the vehicle in the follow-
ing situations: ● If the driver door is open, the vehicle can-
not be lock
ed with the central locking switch
››› page 128.
Lock the vehicle with the remote control key,
when all the doors and the rear lid have been
closed. This prevents the accidental locking
of the vehicle. WARNING
Do not leave anyone (especially children) in
the v ehic

le if it is locked from the outside and
the anti-theft security system* is enabled, as
the doors and windows cannot then be
opened from the inside. Locked doors could
delay assistance in an emergency, potentially
putting lives at risk. » 125

Operation
Note
● Never l e
ave any valuable items in the vehi-
cle unattended. Even a locked vehicle is not a
safe.
● If the diode on the driver door sill lights up
for about 30 sec
onds when the vehicle is
locked, the central locking system or anti-
theft alarm* is not working properly. You
should have the fault repaired at a SEAT Offi-
cial Service or specialised workshop.
● The vehicle interior monitoring of the anti-
theft a
larm* system will only function as in-
tended if the windows and the sunroof* are
closed. Car key

ith the
v

ehicle key the vehicle may be
locked or unlocked remotely ››› page 125.
The vehicle key includes an emitter and bat-
tery. The receiver is in the interior of the vehi-
cle. The range of the vehicle key with remote
control and new battery is several metres
around the vehicle.
If it is not possible to open or close the vehi-
cle using the remote control key, this should
be re-synchronised ››› page 134 or the bat-
tery changed ››› page 133.
Different keys belonging to the vehicle may
be used.
Control lamp on the vehicle key
When a button on the vehicle key is pressed,
the control lamp flashes ››› Fig. 128 (arrow)
once briefly, but if the button is held down for a longer period the control lamp flashes sev-
eral time

s, such as in convenience opening.
If the vehicle key control lamp does not light
up when the button is pressed, replace the
key's battery ››› page 133.
Unfolding and folding the key shaft
Press button 1
› ››
Fig. 128
or ›
›› Fig. 129 to
unlock and unfold the key shaft.
To fold the shaft away, press button 1 and
f o
l

d the key shaft in until it locks in place.
Alarm button*
Only press alarm button 2 in the event of an
emer g
ency!

When the alarm button is press-
ed, the vehicle horn is heard and the turn sig-
nals are switched on for a short time. When
the alarm button is pressed again, the alarm
is switched off.
Spare key
To obtain a spare key and other vehicle keys,
the vehicle chassis number is required.
Each new key contains a microchip which
must be coded with the data from the vehicle
electronic immobiliser. A vehicle key will not
work if it does not contain a microchip or the
microchip has not been encoded. This is also
true for keys which are specially cut for the
vehicle.

Operation
● Mo v
e the g
ear lever to position P (if the ve-
hicle has automatic gearbox), since other-
wise the vehicle cannot be locked.
● Close the door.
● Push the central locking button  on the
remote c
ontrol and touch the locking sensor
surface ››› Fig. 132 B on the driver door han-
dl e onc
e w

ithin the following 5 seconds. Do
not grip the door handle, otherwise the vehi-
cle will not lock. Deactivation is also possible
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 can 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.
Convenience functions
To close all the electric windows using the
convenience function, keep a finger on the
locking sensor surface B (arrow) of the door
h andl
e f

or a few seconds until the windows
have closed.
The doors opened by touching the sensor
surface of the door handle depend on the
settings that have been activated in the info-
tainment system with the  button and theSETTINGS and
Openin
g and c
lo
sing function but-
t on
s. WARNING
If there is a valid key in the proximity of the
re ar lid, in some c

ases the Easy Open func-
tion may be accidentally activated and the
rear lid will open, for example, when sweep-
ing under the rear bumper, when directing a
water jet or high pressure steam to the area
or when carrying out maintenance work or re-
pairs in that area. If accidentally opened, the
rear lid could injure somebody situated in its
area of operation or cause material damage.
● Therefore, always make sure that there is
no uns
upervised valid key in the area near
the rear lid.
● Before carrying out any maintenance or re-
pair work
on the vehicle, always disable the
Easy Open feature via the infotainment sys-
tem.
● Before washing the vehicle, always disable
the Easy
Open feature via the infotainment
system.
● Before attaching a bicycle rack or a trailer,
›››

page 273, always disable the Easy Open
feature via the infotainment system. CAUTION
The sensor surfaces on the door handles
cou l

d 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 electric windows is open and the sensor surface
B (arrow) on one of the handles is activated
continuou
s

ly, all windows will close. Note
● If the v

ehicle 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 97.
● To control the proper locking of the vehicle,
the rele
ase function is disabled for approx. 2
seconds.
● If the message Keyless access system
faulty is di

splayed 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 sy
stem 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-
senger door handles ››› page 155.
● If there is no valid key inside the vehicle or
the syst
em 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). 132

Operation
– Pr e
s
s the  button on the remote control
twice. 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 example, 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/ti lting sunroof open (partially or
completely).
● Movement of objects inside the vehicle,
such a
s loose papers, items hanging from
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc. Note
● If the v

ehicle 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 sensor
, 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.
● The vibration of a mobile phone left inside
the vehic
le may cause the vehicle interior
monitoring alarm to trigger, as both sensors
react to movements and shakes inside the ve-
hicle.
● If on activating the alarm, any door or the
rear lid i
s open, only the alarm will be activa-
ted. The vehicle interior monitoring and the
anti-tow system will only be activated once
all the doors are closed (including the rear
lid). Deactivating the vehicle interior moni-
t
orin
g and anti-t

ow system* When the vehicle is locked, the alarm will be
trigg
er

ed if movements are detected in the
interior (e.g. by animals) or if the vehicle's in-
clination is changed (e.g. during transport).
You can prevent the alarm from being trig-
gered accidentally by switching off the vehi-
cle interior monitoring and/or tow-away pro-
tection.
● To switch off the interior monitoring and
to w-

away protection, switch off the ignition
and, using the Infotainment system, select:  button >
S
ET
TINGS function button > Open-
in g and c
lo

sing > Central locking > Switch off
alarm.
● When the vehicle is locked now, the vehicle
interior monitorin
g and the tow-away protec-
tion are switched off until the next time the
door is opened.
If the anti-theft security system (Safelock)*
››› page 133 is switched off, the vehicle interi-
or monitoring and the tow-away protection
are automatically switched off. WARNING
