Operation
for a long period of time. The alarm system
r
em
ains activated.
● If, after the audible warning goes off, an-
other monitor
ed area is accessed (e.g. the
rear lid is opened after a door has been
opened), the alarm is triggered again.
● The anti-theft alarm is not activated when
the v
ehicle is locked from within using the
central locking button  .
● If the driver door is unlocked mechanically
w ith the k

ey, only the driver door is unlocked,
the rest of the doors remain locked. Only
when the ignition has been turned on will the
other doors be available - but not unlocked -
and the central locking button will be activa-
ted.
● If the vehicle battery is run down or flat
then the anti-theft
alarm will not operate cor-
rectly.
● Vehicle monitoring remains active even if
the batt
ery is disconnected or not working for
any reason.
● The alarm is triggered immediately if one of
the batt
ery cables is disconnected while the
alarm system is active. Vehicle interior monitoring and anti-
t
o

w system* It is a monitoring or control function incorpo-
r
at

ed in the anti-theft alarm* which detects
unauthorised vehicle entry by means of ultra-
sound. Activation
– It is automatically switched on when the
anti-theft

alarm is activated.
Deactivation – Open the vehicle with the key, either me-
ch

anically or by pressing the  button on
the r emot
e control. The time period from
when the door is opened until the key is in-
serted in the contact should not exceed 15
seconds, otherwise the alarm will be trig-
gered.
– Press the button  on the remote control
tw ic

e. The volumetric sensor and tilt sen-
sors will be deactivated. The alarm system
remains activated.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system are automatically switched on
again next time the vehicle is locked.
The vehicle interior monitoring and anti-tow
sensor (tilt sensor) are automatically switch-
ed on when the anti-theft alarm is switched
on. In order to activate it, all the doors and
the rear lid must be closed.
If you wish to switch off the vehicle interior
monitoring and the anti-tow system, it must
be done each time that the vehicle is locked;
if not, they will be automatically switched on.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system should be switched off if animals
are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise, their movements will trigger the alarm) or
when, for e

xample, the vehicle is transported
or has to be towed with only one axle on the
ground.
False alarms
Interior monitoring will only operate correctly
if the vehicle is completely closed. Please ob-
serve related legal requirements.
The following cases may cause a false alarm:
● Open windows (partially or fully).
● Panoramic/tilting sunroof open (partially or
comp
letely).
● Movement of objects inside the vehicle,
suc
h as loose papers, items hanging from
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc. Note
● If the

vehicle is relocked and the alarm is
activated without the volumetric sensor func-
tion, relocking will activate the alarm with all
its functions, except the volumetric sensor.
This function is reactivated when the alarm is
switched on again, unless it is deliberately
switched off.
● If the alarm has been triggered by the volu-
metric sen
sor, this will be indicated by a
flashing of the warning lamp on the driver
door when the vehicle is opened. The flash is
different to the flash indicating the alarm is
activated. 122

Opening and closing
●
The el ectric
windows will work until the ig-
nition has been switched off and one of the
front doors has been opened.
● If necessary, use the safety switch to disa-
bl

e the rear electric windows. Make sure that
they have been disabled. Note
If the window is not able to close because it
i s

stiff or because of an obstruction, the win-
dow will automatically open again
››› page 127. If this happens, check why the
window could not be closed before attempt-
ing to close it again. Roll-back function
The roll-back function reduces the risk of in-
jur
y

when the electric windows close.
● If a window is obstructed when closing au-
tom
atically, the window stops at this point
and lowers immediately ››› .
● Next, check why the window does not close
bef or

e attempting it again.
● If you try within the following 10 seconds
and the windo
w closes again with difficulty
or there is an obstruction, the automatic clos-
ing will stop working for 10 seconds.
● If the window is still obstructed, the win-
dow w
ill stop at this point. ●
If ther
e is no obvious reason why the win-
dow cannot be closed, try to close it again by
pulling the tab within ten seconds. The win-
dow closes with maximum force. The roll-
back function is now deactivated.
● If more than 10 seconds pass, the window
wi
ll open fully when you operate one of the

Sunroof*
Introduction The sunroof consists of two glass parts. The
r
e

ar part is fixed and cannot be opened. It al-
so has a sun blind. WARNING
If the sunroof is used negligently or without
p a

ying due attention, it can cause serious in-
jury.
● Open or close the sunroof and the sun blind
only
when no one is in their path of move-
ment.
● Never leave any key inside the vehicle
when ex
iting.
● Never leave a child or any other person who
ma
y need help in the vehicle, especially if
they have access to the vehicle key. If using
they key unattended, they could lock the ve-
hicle, start the engine, switch on the ignition
and activate the sunroof.
● After switching off, it is still possible to
open or clo
se the sunroof during a short space of time provided that neither the driver
nor p
a

ssenger door is opened. CAUTION
● To pr

event damage, during winter tempera-
tures remove any ice or snow that might be
on the car roof before opening the sunroof or
adjusting the tilt position.
● Before leaving the vehicle or in case of rain-
fa

ll, always close the sunroof. With the sun-
roof open or in a tilted position, water can en-
ter the interior and can cause considerable
damage to the electrical system. As a result,
other damage can occur in the vehicle. Note
● Le

aves and other loose objects that accu-
mulate on the sunroof rails should be regular-
ly cleaned away either by hand or with a vac-
uum.
● If the sunroof does not work correctly, the
anti-trap f
unction will not work either. Con-
tact a specialised workshop.
● Some settings can be saved in user ac-
cou

Operation
Variable floor in the tilted position
When the v
ariable floor is tilted you can ac-
cess the spare wheel/anti-puncture kit area.
● Lift the variable floor using handle
››

› Fig. 158 1 and pull it back until the front
of the floor h
as fully passed the tilted
grooves ››› Fig. 159 3 .
● Pass the floor through these slots using the
h andl

e 1 , pushing until the movable front of
the v
ariable floor folds and rests on the floor
itself.
Variable floor with folded seats
● Lift the variable floor by the handle
››

› Fig. 158 1 and pull it back a little.
● Push the variable floor towards the folded
r e

ar seats with the handle 1 using some
do wn
ward pressure so that the moving part
of the floor is flush with the backs of the rear
seats. WARNING
During a sudden driving or braking manoeu-
vr e, or in the ev

ent of an accident, objects
could be flung though the interior and cause
serious or fatal injuries.
● Always secure objects, even when the lug-
gag
e compartment floor is properly lifted.
● Only objects that do not protrude more
than 2/3 the height
of the floor may be car- ried between the rear seat and the raised lug-
g
ag

e compartment floor.
● Only objects that do not weigh than ap-
pro
ximately 7.5 kg may be carried between
the rear seat and the raised luggage compart-
ment floor. CAUTION
● The m ax

imum weight that can be loaded on
the luggage compartment variable floor in
the top position is 150 kg.
● Do not let the luggage compartment floor
fa

ll when closing it. Always carefully guide it
downwards in a controlled manner. Other-
wise, the lining and the floor of the luggage
compartment could be damaged. Note
SEAT recommends the use of straps to secure
o b

jects to retaining rings. Roof carrier
Intr oduction The vehicle roof has been designed to opti-
mi
se aer

odynamics. For this reason, cross
bars or conventional roof carrier systems can-
not be secured to the roof water drains. As the roof water drains are integrated in the
roof

to reduce air resistance, only SEAT-ap-
proved cross bars and roof carrier systems
can be used.
Cases in which cross bars and the roof carri-
er system should be disassembled.
● When they are not used.
● When the vehicle is washed in a car wash.
● When the vehicle height exceeds the maxi-
mum height, for e
xample, in some garages. WARNING
When heavy or bulky loads are transported
on the r oof

carrier system, car driving per-
formance is affected, as the centre of gravity
shifts and there is greater wind resistance.
● Always secure the load properly using belts
or ret
aining straps that are suitable and in a
good condition.
● Bulky, heavy, long or flat loads have a neg-
ative eff
ect on aerodynamics, the centre of
gravity and driving performance.
● Avoid sudden braking and manoeuvres.
● Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times
to suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions. CAUTION
● Remo

ve the cross bars and the roof carrier
system before entering a car wash. 154

Transport and practical equipment
●
Vehic
le height is increased by the installa-
tion of cross bars or a roof carrier system and
the load secured on them. For this purpose,
check that your vehicle's height does not sur-
pass the headspace limit, for example, for un-
derpasses or for entering garage doors.
● Cross bars, the roof carrier system and the
loa
d secured on them should not interfere
with the roof aerial or hamper the path of the
panoramic sun roof and the rear lid.
● On opening the rear lid make sure that it
does
not knock into the roof load. For the sake of the environment
When cross bars and a roof carrier system are
in s

talled, the increased air resistance means
that the vehicle uses more fuel. Attach the cross bars of the roof carri-
er sy
s

tem Fig. 160
Attachment points for the roof rail-
in g

s for the roof carrier system. The crossbars are the basis of a series of spe-
c
i

al roof carrier systems. For safety reasons,
special fixtures must be used to safely trans-
port luggage, bicycles, skis, surf boards or
boats on the roof. Suitable accessories can
be acquired at SEAT dealerships.
Always secure the crossbars and the roof car-
rier system properly. Always take the assem-
bly instructions that come with the crossbars
and the roof carrier system in question into
account.
The crossbars are assembled on the roof rail-
ings. The distance between crossbars
››› Fig. 160 A should be between 70 and
100 c m and the di

stance between the cross- bars and the brackets of the roof railings
B must be evenly distributed.
WARNING
Incorrect attachment and use of the cross-
b ar

s and the roof carrier system may cause
the whole system to detach from the roof and
cause an accident and injuries.
● Always take the manufacturer assembly in-
struction
s into account.
● Use only crossbars and the roof carrier sys-
tem when they
are in perfect condition and
are properly secured.
● Secure the crossbars and the roof carrier
sys
tem properly.
● Check threaded joints and attachments
trav
elling and if necessary tighten them after
you have travelled a short distance. When
making long trips, check the threaded joints
whenever you stop for a rest.
● Always fit the special roof carrier systems
corr
ectly for wheels, skis and surfboards, etc.
● Do not modify or repair the crossbars or
roof
carrier system. Note
Always read the assembly instructions that
c ome w

ith the crossbars and the roof carrier
system carefully and keep them in the vehi-
cle. 155

Operation
Loading the roof carrier system The load can only be secured if the crossbars
and the r
oof
carrier system are properly in-
stalled ››› .
M ax

imum authorised roof load
The maximum permissible roof load is 75 kg.
This figure comes from the combined weight
of the roof carrier, the cross bars and the load
itself on the roof ››› .
A lw

ays check the weight of the roof carrier
system, the cross bars and the weight of the
load to be transported and weigh them if
necessary. Never exceed the maximum au-
thorised roof load.
If you are using cross bars and a roof carrier
with a lower weight rating, you will not be
able to carry the maximum authorised roof
load. In this case, do not exceed the maxi-
mum weight limit for the roof carrier which is
listed in the fitting instructions.
Distributing a load
Distribute loads uniformly and secure them
correctly ››› .
Chec k

attachments
Once the cross bars and roof carrier system
have been installed, check the bolted con-
nections and attachments after a short jour- ney and subsequently with a certain frequen-
cy. WARNING
Exceeding the maximum authorised roof load
c an r

esult in accidents and considerable vehi-
cle damage.
● Never exceed the maximum authorised
loa
d on the roof and on the axles or the vehi-
cle's maximum authorised weight.
● Never exceed the load capacity of the cross
bar
s and the roof carrier system, even if the
maximum authorised roof load has not been
reached.
● Secure heavy items as far forward as possi-
bl

e and distribute the vehicle load uniformly. WARNING
If the load is loose or not secured, it could fall
fr om the r

oof carrier system or cause acci-
dents and injuries.
● Always use belts or retaining straps that
are s
uitable and in a good condition.

Care and maintenance
Automatic car washes
B ef
ore going through a car wash, be sure to
take the usual precautions such as closing
the windows and roof. If the vehicle has spe-
cial accessories such as spoilers or a roof
rack or two-way radio aerial, etc., it is advisa-
ble to consult the car wash tunnel operator.
It is best to use a car wash without revolving
bristles if possible.
Washing the vehicle with a high pressure
cleaner
When washing the vehicle with a high-pres-
sure cleaner, always follow the operating in-
structions for the equipment. This applies
particularly to the operating pressure and the
spraying distance. Do not hold the nozzle too
close to soft materials such as rubber hoses
or seals. The same applies to the parking aid
sensors*, which are located in the rear bump-
er.
Do not use a nozzle that sprays the water out
in a direct stream or one that has a rotating
jet for forcing off dirt.
Washing the car by hand
When washing the car by hand, use plenty of
water to soften the dirt first, and rinse off as
well as possible.
Then clean the vehicle with a soft sponge,
glove or brush using only slight pressure.
You should start on the roof and work down. Special car
soap should only be used for very
persistent dirt.
Rinse the sponge or glove thoroughly and of-
ten.
Wheels, sills and similar should be cleaned
last. Use a second sponge for this. WARNING
● The v

ehicle should only be washed with the
ignition switched off. Failure to follow this in-
struction could result in an accident.
● Do not clean the underside of chassis, the
ins
ide of wheel arches or wheel trims without
protecting your hands and arms. You may cut
yourself on sharp-edged metal parts. Other-
wise, there is a risk of sustaining cuts.
● When washing the car during the winter
sea
son: water and ice in the brake system
can reduce braking effectiveness: risk of acci-
dent! CAUTION
● Do not w

ash the vehicle in direct sunlight –
otherwise the paint can be damaged.
● Do not use sponges, abrasive household
spon
ges or similar to clean insect remains.
This could damage the surface.
● Clean off stubborn dirt (insects, etc.) from
the hea
dlights at regular intervals, for in-
stance when filling the fuel tank. The head-
lights should only be washed with water, do not wipe them with a dry cloth or sponge. It
i
s

best to use soapy water.
● Never wash tyres with a jet that sprays the
wat
er out in a direct stream. This could dam-
age the tyres even if the spray is kept at a
distance and only used for a very short time.
● Before washing the vehicle in an automatic
car w
ash, please make sure to retract the ex-
terior mirrors to prevent them from being
damaged. Electrically retractable exterior
mirrors must not be folded in or out by hand,
always use the electrical power control. CAUTION
