Transporting children safely
● Aut om
atic
three-point seat belt . Whenever
possible, it is preferable to attach the child
seats with the ISOFIX system rather than at-
taching them with an automatic three-point
seat belt ›››
 page 24.
Additional attachment:
● Top Tether : The Top Tether belt is guided
ov
er the back of the rear seat and attached to
an anchor point with a hook. Anchor points
are located at the back of the rear seat back-
rest on the boot side ›››
 page 29
. The
rings for retaining the Top Tether belt are
marked with an anchor symbol.
● Support bracket : Some chi
ld seats rest on
the floor of the vehicle with a support brack-
et. The support bracket prevents the child
seat from tipping forward in the event of im-
pact. Child seats fitted with a support bracket
should only be used in the passenger seat
and side rear seats ››› . For the assembly of
thi s
type of

seat you should also consult the
list of approved vehicles for this assembly,
available in the instructions for child restraint
systems.
Recommended systems for attaching child
seats
SEAT recommends attaching child seats as
follows: ●
Baby
carriers or child seats in the opposite
direction of travel: ISOFIX and support brack-
et or iSize.
● Child seats in the direction of travel: ISO-
FIX and T
op Tether. WARNING
Incorrect use of the support bracket can
cau se seriou

s or fatal injury.
● Make sure the support bracket is correctly
and safely
installed. 91

Opening and closing
Note
For anti-theft security, only the driver door is
fitted w ith a loc
k cylinder.“Safe” security system*
This is an anti-theft device which consists of
a doubl
e loc

k for the door locks and a deacti-
vation function for the boot in order to pre-
vent forced entry.

The “safe” system is activated when the vehi-
cle is locked using the key or the remote con-
trol.
To activate it with the key, rotate once it is in-
serted in the door lock cylinder in the locking
direction.
To activate the system using the remote con-
trol, press the lock button once  on the re-
mote.
Once this system is activated, opening doors
from the outside and the inside is not possi-

terior.
See “Selective unlocking system*”
“Safe” status
On the driver door, there is warning lamp visi-
ble from outside the vehicle through the win-
dow which shows the “Safe” system status.
We will know that “Safe” system is activated
by the flashing warning lamp. The indicator
will flash on all vehicles, fitted and nor fitted
with an alarm, until they unlock.
Remember:
Safe activated with or without an alarm:
warning lamp flashes continuously.
Safe deactivated without an alarm: the warn-
ing lamp stays off.
Safe deactivated with an alarm: the warning
lamp stays off. WARNING
No one should remain inside the vehicle if the
“Safe” sy s

tem is activated because opening
the doors will not be possible in the event of
an emergency neither from the inside nor the
outside and help from the outside is made
difficult. Danger of death. Passengers could
become trapped inside in case of emergency. Selective unlocking system*
This system allows to unlock either just the

al

unlocking of the vehicle.
If the vehicle is unlocked and none of the
doors (including the boot) are opened within
30 seconds, it re-locks automatically.
Automatic speed-dependent locking
and unloc
king system*This is a safety system which prevents access
t
o the
v

ehicle from the outside when it is run-
ning (e.g. when stopped at a traffic light). Locking
The doors w

ill lock automatically if the speed
of 15 km/h (9 mph) is exceeded. The rear lid
will lock automatically if the speed of 6 km/h
(4 mph) is exceeded.
If the vehicle is stopped and any of its doors
open, when starting again and exceeding the
mentioned speed, all doors will lock again.
Unlocking
On withdrawing the ignition key, the vehicle
will returns to its status prior to self-locking.
Each door can be unlocked and opened inde-
pendently from the inside (for example, when
a passenger gets out). To do it, simply oper-
ate the lever inside the door. WARNING
The door handles must not be operated when
the v ehic

le is running: the door would open. Note
If the airbags are triggered during an acci-
dent, the v ehic

le is unlocked, except for the
luggage compartment. It is possible to lock
the vehicle from inside with the central lock-
ing, after turning the ignition off and back on
again. Central lock button*

The central lock button allows you to lock and
unlock the vehicle from the inside.
The central lock button also works with the
ignition switched off, except when the “safe”
system is activated.
Please note the following if you lock your ve-
hicle with the central lock button:
● Locking the doors and rear lid prevents ac-
ces
s from the outside (for safety reasons, e.g.
when stopped at a traffic light).
● The driver door cannot be locked while it is
open. This
avoids the user from forgetting his
key inside the vehicle.

vehicle, as well as on the driving style, road
conditions, traffic conditions, environmental
conditions, load or number of passengers. Note
In practice, and considering all the factors
mentioned here, c on

sumption values can dif-
fer from those calculated in the current Euro-
pean regulations. Weights
Kerb weight refers to the basic model with a
f
uel
t

ank filled to 90% capacity and without
optional extras. The figure quoted includes
75 kg to allow for the weight of the driver.
Special versions, optional equipment fittings
or retro-fitting accessories will increase the
weight of the vehicle ››› . WARNING
● Ple a

se note that the centre of gravity may
shift when transporting heavy objects; this
may affect vehicle handling and lead to an ac-
cident. Always adjust your speed and driving
style to suit road conditions and require-
ments.
● Never exceed the gross axle weight rating
or the gros
s vehicle weight rating. If the per-
missible axle load or the permissible total
weight is exceeded, the driving characteris-
tics of the vehicle may change, leading to ac-
cidents, injuries and damage to the vehicle. Trailer mode
Tr
ai

ler weights The trailer weights and drawbar loads ap-
pr
o
v

ed are selected in intensive trials accord-
ing to precisely defined criteria. The ap-
proved trailer weights are valid for vehicles in
the EU for maximum speeds of 80 km/h (50
mph) (in certain circumstances up to 100
km/h (62 mph)). The figures may be different
in other countries. All data in the official vehi-
cle documentation takes precedence over
these data at all times ››› .
