Even though outside temperatures are above
freez in
g, some roads and bridges may be icy.
● At outside temperatures above +4°C
(+39°F), even when the “ice c
rystal” symbol
is not visible, there may still be patches of ice
on the road.
● The outside temperature sensor takes a
guideline meas
urement. Note
● Differ ent
versions of the instrument panel
are available and therefore the versions and
instructions on the display may vary. In the
case of displays without warning or informa-
tion texts, faults are indicated exclusively by
the warning lamps.
● Depending on the equipment, some set-
tings
and instructions can also be carried out
in the Easy Connect system. ●
When sever a
l warnings are active at the
same time, the symbols are shown succes-
sively for a few seconds and will stay on until
the fault is rectified. Odometer

The trip recorder shows the distance that has
been travelled since it was last reset. It is used to measure short trips. The last digit of
the trip recor
der indicates distances of 100
metres or tenths of a mile.
The trip recorder can be set to zero by press-

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

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

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

The battery is located beneath a cover on the
b ac
k
of the remote control.
● To open the cover, lift it slightly at the bot-
tom and slide it
down.
● Remove the old battery.
● Insert the new battery. When doing so, take
into acc
ount the polarity and use batteries of
the same type ››› .
● Replace the battery cover by inserting the
t ab
s
at the top and pressing the bottom.
Range
The receiver is inside the vehicle. The remote
control, when fitted with new batteries, has a
range of several hundred metres. Obstacles
between the remote control and the vehicle,
bad weather conditions and discharged bat-
teries can considerably reduce the range of
the remote control. CAUTION
● The ra dio fr
equency remote control con-
tains electronic components. Therefore, avoid
getting it wet and exposing it to knocks or di-
rect sunlight.
● The use of inappropriate batteries may
damag
e the radio frequency remote control.
For this reason, always replace the used bat-
tery with another of the same voltage, size
and specifications. For the sake of the environment
● Ple a
se dispose of your used batteries cor-
rectly and with respect for the environment.
● The remote control battery may contain
perch
lorate. Observe the legal provisions re-
garding disposal.
● Care should be taken so as not to operate
the remote c
ontrol unintentionally so as to
prevent the auxiliary heater being switched
on accidentally. Programming the auxiliary heater
Before pr
ogramming it, check that the vehi-
c l
e's date and time are set correctly ››› .
The aux i
li
ary heater is programmed in the
Auxiliary heater menu of the infotain-
ment system.
Open the Auxiliary heater menu.
● Press the button in the Clim
atronic
control panel.
● Press the function b
utton.
Function button: function
Switch off: The auxiliary heater is immediately switched
off.
Function button: function
Heat, Ventilate: Set to heat or ventilate the vehicle interi-
or when the auxiliary heater is switched on. By pressing
the function button
, you can select the desired
mode.
Set: Opens the Auxiliary heater menu.
Departure time 1, Departure time 2, Departure time 3:
Three different departure times (hh.mm) may be
programmed. If the auxiliary heater should only
be switched on a certain day of the week, this can
also be selected.
Duration: The duration determines the operating
time of the auxiliary heater when switched on us-
ing the fast heating button
on the air condi-
tioning controls. The duration is also used to cal-
culate the departure time for the manual air con-
ditioner. It can be set between 10 and 60 mi-
nutes at 10-minute intervals.
This returns to the main menu.
The programmed departure time determines
the ap
pr
o
ximate time it should take to reach
the temperature set in the vehicle. The start
of the heating operation is determined auto-
matically depending on the outside tempera-
ture.
Checking the programming
When a departure time is activated and the
ignition is switched off the control lamp of
the fast heating button lights up for ap-
proximately 10 seconds. »
