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
