Garage door remote control*
Introduction
Fixed code or variable code
The garage door remote control uses either a fixed code or a variable code.
For remote controls using a variable code, the system must be synchronised
after programming Ÿpage 110.
Compatibility
SEAT recommends that before buying a remote control or electric system, you
get information from a approved technical service about which products are
compatible with the vehicle remote control.
In some countries, the use of safety controls and electric systems for garage
doors are obligatory.
WARNING
Careless use of the garage remote control can cause serious injury.
xThe garage remote control and electric systems operate with enough
energy to cause injury.
xOnly use the remote control when you can see the garage door and that
there is nobody in its way.
xWhen programming, the garage door or electric system could move
causing damage or injury.
xThe garage remote control and electric systems that do not detect
obstacles do not comply with the legal requirements in certain countries.
Using remote controls and electric systems that do not detect obstacles
increases the risk of injury or death.
xAlways read the assembly instructions and warnings from the manufac-
turer when using a garage door remote control and electric system.

Unlocking and locking 110
Programming the garage door remote control
Functions from up to 3 different remote controls for different products can be
transferred to the buttons on the sunshade ( for example, the electric system
for a gateway or a garage door, a house alarm or a lighting system).Before programming
xBefore programming the garage remote control, always read the instruc-
tion manual from the product manufacturer.
xAlways stop your vehicle safe distance from the system.
xWhen programming, turn on the ignition but do not start the engine.
Before programming the unit for the first time:
xPress the buttons and until the indicator above the button begins
to blink.
xRelease both buttons. This erases the factory settings. There is no need to
do this again to program the remaining buttons.
xHowever, if you hold in the buttons for more time, the factory settings will
be re-established.
Programming
xBefore programming, carry out the initial steps Ÿpage 110.
xPut your system's remote control, for example the remote to operate the
garage door, within 30 cm of the sunshade button Ÿfig. 64. If this is too far
away, you may have to repeat the procedure.
xNow, simultaneously hold in the button on your system's remote control
and the button , or until the indicator above the button blinks, first
slowly then more quickly Ÿfig. 65.
xRelease both buttons. The function from your system's remote control is
transferred to the corresponding button.
To transfer other functions to other buttons of the garage door remote control,
repeat the procedure described above with the button to be programmed.
Synchronising a remote control with a variable code

Note
The headlights, rear lights and turn signals may mist up temporarily on the
inside in cool or damp weather. This is normal and in no way effects the useful
life of the vehicle lighting system.
Adhesive strips for headlights or adjusting headlights
In those countries where vehicles drive on the other side of the road to the
home country, the asymmetric dipped beam may dazzle drivers of oncoming
vehicles. Therefore, when driving abroad, adhesive strips should be attached
to the headlights or the headlights should be adjusted accordingly.
The direction of the headlights can be adjusted from the instrument panel, in
the menu Settings submenu Travel mode Ÿpage 70.
For those vehicles in which it is not possible to adjust the headlights from the
menu, adhesive strips are used to cover certain parts of the headlamp cover
or the headlights may be adjusted at a specialised workshop. For further
information, please refer to a specialised workshop. SEAT recommends
visiting a qualified workshop.
Note
The use of Travel mode and adhesive strips on the headlights is only author-
ised for a short period of time. To modify the direction of the headlamps more
permanently, please take the vehicle to a specialised workshop. SEAT recom-
mends visiting a qualified workshop.
Function “Coming home” and “Leaving home” (guidance

Note
The intermittent wiper speed varies according to the vehicle speed. The faster
the vehicle is moving, the more often the windscreen is cleaned.
Note
The rear wiper is automatically switched on when the windscreen wiper is
connected and the car is in reverse gear.
Windscreen wiper functions
Heated windscreen washer jets
The heating only thaws the frozen jets, it does not thaw the water in the
washer hoses. The heated windscreen washer jets automatically adjust the
heat depending on the ambient temperature, when the ignition is switched
on.Headlight wash /wipe system
The headlight washers/wipers clean the headlight lenses.
After the ignition is switched on, the first and every fifth time the windscreen
washer is switched on, the headlights are also washed. Therefore, the wind-
screen wiper lever should be pulled towards the steering wheel when the
dipped beam or main beam are on. Any incrusted dirt (such as insects)
should be cleaned regularly (e.g. when refuelling).
To ensure the headlight washers work correctly in winter, any snow which has
got into the bumper jet supports should be cleaned away. If necessary,
remove snow with an anti-icing spray.
Note
The wiper will try to wipe away any obstacles that are on the windscreen. The
wiper will stop moving if the obstacle blocks its path. Remove the obstacle
and switch the wiper back on again.Windscreen wiper performance in different situations:
If the vehicle is at a stand-
still:The activated position provisionally changes
to the previous position.
During the automatic wipe:
The air conditioning comes on for approxi-
mately 30 seconds in air recirculation mode
to prevent the smell of the windscreen
washer fluid entering the inside of the vehi-
cle.
For the intermittent wipe:The intervals between wipes vary according
to the speed of the vehicle. The higher the
vehicle speed the shorter the intervals.
