Changing bulbs

Changing bulbs requires a certain degree of
practical skill.
If you choose to change the engine compart-
ment lamps yourself, remember that it is a
dangerous area ››› in safety notes for work
in the en gine c
omp

artment on page 267.
Always use identical bulbs with the same
designation. The name can be found on the
base of the bulb holder. Depending on how equipped the vehicle is,
there are diff

erent sets of headlights and tail
lights:
● Halogen headlights.
● Full-LED main headlights*
● Halogen headlights with LED daytime run-
ning lights*
● Re

ar bulb light
● LED rear light*
Ful
l-LED headlight system*
Full-LED headlights handle all light functions
(daylight, side light, turn signal, dipped
beam and route light) with light emitting di-
odes (LEDs) as a light source.
Full-LED headlights are designed to last the
lifetime of the vehicle and the bulbs cannot
be replaced. In case of headlight failure, go
to an authorised workshop to have it re-
placed. WARNING
● Tak e p

articular care when working on com-
ponents in the engine compartment if the en-
gine is warm, there is a risk of burns.
● Bulbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The
glas
s can break when you touch the bulb,
causing injury.
● When changing bulbs, please take care not
to injure
yourself on sharp parts in the head-
light housing. 102

Automatically disabling sensors
If the vehicle is not locked or unlocked for a
long period of time, the proximity sensors on
the passenger doors are automatically disa-
bled.
If one of the sensor surfaces on the door han-
dles is often activated in an unusual manner
with the vehicle locked (e.g. by the branches
of a bush rubbing against it), all proximity
sensors are disabled for a certain period of
time.
Sensors will again be enabled: ● After a time.
● OR: if the vehicle is unlocked with the but-
ton  on the key.
● OR: if the rear lid is open.
● OR: if

the vehicle is unlocked manually with
the key
.
Keyless Access temporary disconnection
function
There is a sequence of actions to be followed
if you wish to temporarily deactivate Keyless
Access. First of all, lock the vehicle with the
key. As of this moment, you have 5 seconds to perform the second locking action through
the door handle sen

sor.
If this second action is performed more than
5 seconds after the vehicle is locked with the
key, it will not be possible to deactivate Key-
less Access.
Once Keyless Access has been temporarily
deactivated, the vehicle can only be unlocked
using the key. The Keyless Access function
will be reactivated once it has been unlocked.
Convenience functions
To close all the electric windows using the
convenience function, keep a finger on the
locking sensor surface ››› Fig. 141 B (arrow)
of the door h
andl

e for 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 Easy

The sensor surfaces on the door handles

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 the handle is activated continu-
ous
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.
● 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 door han-
dle.
● 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).
● If the sensors are very dirty, e.g. have a lay-
er of sa
lt, the correct functioning of the sen-
sors on the door handles may be affected. In
this case, clean the vehicle. » 131

Opening and closing
When does the system trigger an alarm?
The sy s
t
em triggers an alarm, if the following
unauthorised actions are carried out when
the vehicle is locked:
● Mechanical opening of the vehicle with the
vehicl
e key without switching on the ignition
in the next 15 seconds (in certain markets,
such as the Netherlands, the alarm is activa-
ted immediately).
● A door is opened.
● Opening the bonnet.
● The rear lid is opened.
● Ignition switched on with a non-validated
key.
● Mo

vements in the driving compartment
(vehicl
es with a volume sensor).
● Towing of the vehicle 1)
.
● Vehicle tilt angle 1)
.
● Undue manipulation of the alarm.
● Battery handling.
In this c
ase, the acoustic signals will go off
and the turn signal will flash for approximate-
ly 30 seconds. This cycle may be repeated up
to 10 times depending on the country. Opening all the doors in manual mode
In vehic

les without an alarm, when opening
the driver door manually, all doors are
opened.
How to switch the alarm off
To deactivate the anti-theft alarm, turn the
key in the opening direction, open the door
and switch the ignition on, or press the un-
lock button  on the remote control.
In vehicles equipped with an anti-theft alarm
system, you have 15 seconds to insert the
key in the ignition lock and activate the igni-
tion if the vehicle is opened using the driver
door key.
Otherwise, the alarm will trigger for 30 sec.
and the ignition will be blocked. Note
● Aft er 28 d

ays, the indicator light will be
switched off to prevent the battery from
draining if the vehicle has been left parked
for a long period of time. The alarm system
remains activated.
● The alarm will trigger again if attempts are
made t
o open another protection zone.
● The alarm system can be activated or deac-
tivated u

larm is not activated when
the vehicle is locked from within using the

then the anti-theft a
larm will not operate cor-
rectly.

Introduction The power steering is not hydraulic but elec-
tromec
h

anical. The advantage of this steer-
ing is that it foes not need flexible hydraulic
pipes, hydraulic oil, pump, filter or other
parts. The electromechanical system saves
fuel. Whereas a hydraulic system needs con-
tinuous oil pressure, electromechanical
steering only needs power when it is used.
In vehicles with electromechanical steering,
the assisted steering function automatically
adjusts according to vehicle speed, steering
wheel torque and wheel orientation. The
power steering only works when the engine
is running. WARNING
If the power steering does not work, you will
need much mor e s

trength to turn the wheel.
This has a considerable effect on vehicle
safety.
● The power steering only works when the
engine is
running.
● Never allow the vehicle to move when the
engine is
switched off.
● Never remove the key from the ignition
while the
vehicle is moving. The steering lock could be engaged and vehicle steering would
not w
ork. Note
The ignition of the vehicle being towed must
be sw itc

hed on to prevent the steering wheel
from locking and also to allow the use of the
turn signals, horn, windscreen wipers and
washers. Control lamp
