Coolant temperature/level
The warning lamp lights up for a few seconds as a functional check
when ignition is switched on.
If the warning lamp does not go out, or lights up or flashes while
driving the coolant temperature is too high or the coolant level too
low. An acoustic signal will sound three times as an additional
warning:
Stop immediately, stop engine and check level. If necessary add
coolant. The coolant type is detailed in the "Coolant system"
chapter.
If the coolant level is in order the trouble may be due to failure of
the radiator fan. In this case, check radiator fan fuse and replace if
necessary.
If the warning lamp does not go out even though coolant level and
fan fuse are in order,d do
o nno
ot

. Call in expert assistance.
If the trouble is located only in the radiator fan and the coolant
level is in order and temperature warning lamp is off – you may
drive on to the nearest Technical Service Centre. To make use of the
air stream for cooling do not let engine idle nor drive very slowly.

The corresponding warning lamp is:
"FASTEN SEAT BELT".
This warning lamp (only in some countries) lights up for about 6
seconds when the ignition is switched on as a reminder to fasten
your seat belts.
If the seat belt is not fastened an acoustic signal will sound after
switching on the ignition which will stop after about 6 seconds or
when the seat belt is fastened.
⇒"Seat belts" chapter.K
Priority 2 (yellow symbols)
An acoustic signal will sound if a yellow symbol appears. The
symbol is an indication of danger. The function must be checked as
soon as possible. If there are several failures at the same time, the
symbols will appear consecutively for about 2 seconds.

defective. Head immediately to a Technical Service Centre. You may
continue motoring, but you should check the oil level regularly, for
instance, every time you stop to fill up.

If the vehicle is locked using the central locking button, it is possible to
open the doors separately. To do this, pull the door handle untilthe door
opens.
The button will also function when the ignition is switched off.
Child-proof catch
The rear doors also have child-proof catches which is operated via
a lever in the doors. When the lever is moved up (e.g. using the
vehicle key
⇒ fig. 64), the child-proof catch is engaged. The
interior lock release is then inoperative and the door can only be
opened from outside as long as the door is not locked from the
inside with the door release lever
⇒"Doors, central locking"
chapter.
K
Single door opening*
The central locking system can be modified to open only the
driver’s door, the passenger door or the tailgate without unlocking
the other areas.
Technical Service Centres will be happy to provide further details,
and/or to activate this possibility.

Duplicate, unprogrammed keys for the remote control are available at
Technical Service Centres. However, the second key must be synchronised
in a SEAT Official Service Centre, as the immobiliser code must also be
entered into the head of the key.
Up to a maximum of four keys with radio-frequency remote control maybe
used.
K
Opening and closing your vehicle
To open the car, point the key at the car, within the effective range,
and briefly press the opening button (arrow 1). To close the car,
briefly press the closing button (arrow 2).
If you press the closing button (arrow
2) twice, the safety lock and
anti-theft alarm system* are deactivated and the indicators will
briefly flash to show this.
N No
ot
te
e
While the “open” or “close” buttons are pressed, a warning lightin the key
flashes. If this does not happen, the battery in the key might be flat. In this
case a Technical Service Centre should check or change the battery.
When the safety lock and the anti-theft alarm* are activated,
proceed in the following manner:
If you open the car with the opening button of the radio-frequency*
remote control, all the locks will be blocked automatically if you do
not open any of the doors or boot/tailgate before 30 seconds have
elapsed. However, the safety lock and the anti-theft alarm* will be
deactivated during those 30 seconds. This function stops

of the vehicle within the effective range of the
radio-frequency* remote control.
When unlocking the vehicle, keep the key in the driver’s and
passenger’s door lock or tailgate in the unlocking position. All
windows, except for the lateral electric windows, will open
automatically.
When keeping the key in the locking position, the windows and the
roof will close automatically.

When it is freezing, check that the wiper blades are not frozen to the glass
before switching the wipers on for the first time.
If the wiper blades drag, it may be caused by various things:
• If the vehicle has been washed in an automatic car wash,
residual wax may be left on the windscreen.
Filling the windscreen washer container with a window cleaner
containing a wax remover can cure the problem.
• Damaged wiper blades can lead to dragging. In this case the
blades should be renewed.
• The blades are set at an incorrect angle.
Have the angle checked and, if necessary, adjusted by a Technical
Service Centre.
