2018 Seat Ateca ignition

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
