If the power supply should ever fail (e.g. dis-
charged battery) and the vehicle has to be pushed or towed, the selector lever must first
be moved t

o position N, after operating the
manual release mechanism. WARNING
The selector lever may be moved out of posi-
tion P only when the h

andbrake is firmly ap-
plied. If this does not work, secure the vehi-
cle with the brake pedal. On a slope the vehi-
cle could otherwise start to move inadver-
tently after shifting the selector lever out of
position P - accident risk! Air conditioning

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 25.
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 30
. 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. 95

Opening and closing
Note
For anti-theft security, only the driver door is
fitted w ith a loc
k cylinder.Safe security system*
1)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.
Activation
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-
ble. The rear lid can not be opened. The cen-
tral lock button does not work.
When the ignition is switched off, the instru-
ment panel display indicates that the “Safe”

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

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

difficult. Danger of death. Passengers could
become trapped inside in case of emergency. Selective unlocking system*
This system allows to unlock either just the

Self-locking system to prevent invol-
untar
y unlocking It is an anti-theft system and prevents the un-
int
ention
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
to the
v

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

le from inside with the central lock-
ing, after turning the ignition off and back on
again. Central lock button*

134

Operation
Once the doors have been locked, they can-
not be opened ag
ain immedi
ately. This will
enable you to check that the doors are prop-
erly closed.
If you wish, when unlocking, you can unlock
only the driver’s door, the side being un-
locked, or the entire vehicle. The necessary
adjustments can be performed in vehicles
with a driver information system
›››  page 34.
General information
If a valid key is located in the proximity of the
car ››› Fig. 142, the Keyless Access locking
and starting system gives the key entry as
soon as one of the sensor surfaces on the
driver door handle is touched. The following
features are then available without having to
use the vehicle key actively:
● Keyless-Entry: unloc
king the vehicle using
the handle of the front driver’s door or the
softtouch/handle on the rear lid.
● Keyless-Exit: lockin
g the vehicle using the
sensor on the driver door handle.
● Press & Drive: keyle
ss starting of the en-
gine with the starter button ››› page 176.
The central locking and locking systems oper-
ate in the same way as a normal locking and
unlocking system. Only the controls change. Unlocking the vehicle is confirmed with a
double fl

ash of the indicator lights; locking
by a single flash.
If the vehicle is locked and then all doors and
the rear lid are closed leaving the last key
used inside the vehicle and none outside,
the vehicle will not lock immediately. All the
vehicle's indicator lights will flash four times.
The vehicle will lock after a few seconds if
you do not open any door or the rear lid.
The vehicle will lock again after a few sec-
onds if you unlock the vehicle but fail to open
any door or boot hatch.
Unlocking and opening the doors (Keyless-
Entry)

order to enable engine ignition, the  button
on the key inside the vehicle needs to be
pressed.
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 
butt
on on the key.
● OR: if the boot is opened.
● OR: if

the vehicle is unlocked manually with
the key
.
Keyless Access temporary disconnection
function*
You can deactivate the vehicle's Keyless Ac-
cess unlocking for a locking and unlocking
cycle. ●
Move the g

, 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
