Even though outside temperatures are above
freez in

g, some roads and bridges may be icy.
● At outside temperatures above +4°C
(+39°F), even when the “ice c
rystal” symbol
is not visible, there may still be patches of ice
on the road.
● The outside temperature sensor takes a
guideline meas
urement. Note
● Differ ent

versions of the instrument panel
are available and therefore the versions and
instructions on the display may vary. In the
case of displays without warning or informa-
tion texts, faults are indicated exclusively by
the warning lamps.
● Depending on the equipment, some set-
tings
and instructions can also be carried out
in the Easy Connect system. ●
When sever a

l warnings are active at the
same time, the symbols are shown succes-
sively for a few seconds and will stay on until
the fault is rectified. Odometer

Note
● Never l e
ave any valuable items in the vehi-
cle unattended. Even a locked vehicle is not a
safe.
● If the diode on the driver door sill lights up
for about 30 sec
onds when the vehicle is
locked, the central locking system or anti-
theft alarm* is not working properly. You
should have the fault repaired at a SEAT Offi-
cial Service or specialised workshop.
● The vehicle interior monitoring of the anti-
theft a
larm* system will only function as in-
tended if the windows and the sunroof* are
closed. Car key

Operation
It does not matter where you carry the key, for
in s
t
ance whether it is in your jacket pocket or
in a briefcase.
Once the doors have been locked, they can-
not be opened again immediately. This will
enable you to check that the doors are prop-
erly closed.
If you wish, when unlocking, you can unlock
only the corresponding door or the entire ve-
hicle. The necessary adjustments can be per-
formed in vehicles with a driver information
system ›››
 page 33.
General information
If a valid key is in the proximity of the car,
››› Fig. 131  the Keyless Access locking and
starting system gives the key entry as soon
as one of the sensor surfaces on the door
handles is touched or the softtouch/handle
on the rear lid is operated. The following fea-
tures are then available without having to
use the vehicle key actively:
● Keyless-Entry: unloc
king the vehicle using
the handles of the front doors or the soft-
touch/handle on the rear lid.
● Keyless-Exit: lockin
g the vehicle using the
sensor of the driver or passenger door han-
dle.
● Easy Open: opening the re
ar lid moving one
foot below the rear bumper. ●
Pres
s & Drive: keyless starting of the en-
gine with the starter button ››› page 181.
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 flash 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)

er of salt, the correct functioning of the sen-
sors on the door handles may be affected. In
this case, clean the vehicle.
● If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic
gearbo
x, it may only be locked in the gear
stick is in position P. Anti-theft security system (Safelock)*
The following message is displayed on the in-
strument
p

anel to remind the driver that
when the vehicle is closed from the outside,
the anti-theft security system is switched on.  Do not forget the Safelock.
Please see Instruction Manual . The
vehicle cannot be opened from inside. This
makes it more difficult for unauthorised per-
sons to break into the vehicle ››› in De-
s c
ription on p

age 125.
The anti-theft security system can be switch-
ed off each time the vehicle is locked:

Operation
– Pr e
s
s the  button on the remote control
twice. 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 example, 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/ti lting sunroof open (partially or
completely).
● Movement of objects inside the vehicle,
such a
s loose papers, items hanging from
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc. Note
● If the v

ehicle 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 sensor
, 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.
● The vibration of a mobile phone left inside
the vehic
le may cause the vehicle interior
monitoring alarm to trigger, as both sensors
react to movements and shakes inside the ve-
hicle.
● If on activating the alarm, any door or the
rear lid i
s open, only the alarm will be activa-
ted. The vehicle interior monitoring and the
anti-tow system will only be activated once
all the doors are closed (including the rear
lid). Deactivating the vehicle interior moni-
t
orin
g and anti-t

ow system* When the vehicle is locked, the alarm will be
trigg
er

ed if movements are detected in the
interior (e.g. by animals) or if the vehicle's in-
clination is changed (e.g. during transport).
You can prevent the alarm from being trig-
gered accidentally by switching off the vehi-
cle interior monitoring and/or tow-away pro-
tection.
● To switch off the interior monitoring and
to w-

away protection, switch off the ignition
