Spare key
To obtain a spare key and other vehicle keys,
the vehicle ID 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.
The vehicle keys or new spare keys can be
obtained from a SEAT Official Service, a spe-
cialised workshop or an approved key service
qualified to create this kind of key.
New keys or spare keys must be synchronised
before use ››› page 100

switch off. The objective of this function is to
provide the driver with a visual indication that
he or she should activate the dipped beam.

strument panel (Digital SEAT Cockpit), the
following message will appear Turn on the
lights on the instrument panel.
