. 
Re-synchronising
Should the remote control fail to lock or unlock the vehicle,
the system must be re-synchronised.
– If the vehicle is locked, use the key to unlock the driver door.
– Press the unlock button  
 on the remote control.
– Insert the key into the ignition and switch on the ignition.
– Switch off the ignition and remove the key.

Description
The system triggers an alarm if anyone attempts to break in-
to the vehicle.
The anti-theft alarm helps to prevent the vehicle being broken into or sto-
len. If the system senses interference with the vehicle, it triggers an audible
and visible alarm.
How is the system enabled?
The anti-theft alarm system is enabled automatically when the vehicle is
locked with the remote control or by turning the key in the driver door (if the
door is closed). The anti-theft alarm is enabled about 30 seconds after the
vehicle is locked.
How is the system disabled?
The anti-theft alarm is only disabled when the vehicle is unlocked using the
remote control. The vehicle will lock again automatically if none of the doors
is opened within 60 seconds after pressing the remote control button.
If the vehicle is unlocked by turning the key in the driver door, all the other
doors, the tailgate and the tank flap will remain locked.
If the vehicle has been unlocked with the key in the driver door, the key
must be inserted in the ignition lock and the ignition switched on within 15
seconds of opening the door in order to disable the alarm.  The alarm will be
triggered if the ignition is  not switched on within 15 seconds.

Unlocking and locking
in unlocking all the doors, they unlock simultaneously.
When combining locking using the remote control key and unlocking using
the key but without the remote control: when unlocking, only the driver door will unlock.
When does the system trigger the alarm?
The following parts of the vehicle are monitored when the vehicle is locked:
● Engine compartment (bonnet)
● Luggage compartment
● Doors
● Tilt angle (tow-away protection)
● Ignition
● Radio (only with a factory-fitted SEAT radio)
● Interior ⇒ page 107
If any of these areas are entered, the alarm will be triggered.
How is the alarm disabled?
The alarm can be switched off by unlocking the vehicle using the remote
control, or by switching on the ignition with the key, thus “disabling” the
alarm system. The alarm will also switch off when it comes to the end of its
cycle.
Turn signals
The turn signals flash briefly when the vehicle is locked to confirm that the
doors, the engine bonnet and the tailgate are properly closed and locked.
If the turn signals do not flash, check the doors, the bonnet and the tailgate
to make sure they are properly closed. The turn signals will also flash briefly
if one of the doors or the tailgate or engine bonnet is closed after the alarm
system has been enabled. –
– LED
When the vehicle is locked, the LED on the top of the driver door trim will
flash rapidly for about 30 seconds and then continue flashing slowly. This is
to indicate that the anti-theft alarm system (including the 
interior monitor-
ing and tow-away protection ) is operative. If the LED lights up continuously
for about 30 seconds when the vehicle is locked instead of flashing, this
means the alarm system is not working properly.
Note
● To make sure that the alarm is fully operative when leaving the vehicle,
briefly check that all the doors and windows and the  sunroof* are closed.
● The alarm is triggered immediately if one of the battery cables is discon-
nected while the alarm system is enabled. 
Interior monitoring* 
The interior monitoring triggers an alarm if it detects move-
ment inside the vehicle.

Sliding/tilting sunroof* Description
The sliding/tilting sunroof is operated using the rotary knob  ⇒ fig. 81. The
rotary knob for sliding the roof open can be adjusted to several different
settings (with click stops). This knob only works when the ignition is switch-
ed on. The rotary knob must be in the  0
 position if you want to tilt the roof
up at the rear. The sunroof will work for about ten minutes after the ignition has been
switched off. However, it is immediately disabled when one of the front
doors is opened.

118Lights and visibility
Activating the function
–Briefly press the knob  ⇒ fig. 86 to release it from its set posi-
tion.
– Turn the knob to position 1.
– Press the knob in again to prevent the setting from being
changed unintentionally.
Deactivating the function
– Briefly press the knob  ⇒ fig. 86 to release it from its set posi-
tion.
– Turn the knob to position 0.
– Press the knob in again to prevent the setting from being
changed unintentionally.
The coming home and leaving home functions are controlled by light sen-
sors in the interior mirror housing. The system will function when the follow-
ing requirements are met:
● The knob is set to position  1.
● The headlights and the ignition are switched off.
● Dark conditions; the sensors register little or no light.
Coming home
When the system is enabled and it is  dark, the corresponding exterior lights
switch on as soon as the driver door is opened.
The exterior lights will stay on for up to a maximum of 2 minutes as long as
one of the doors or the tailgate is open.
The exterior lights stay on for about 30 seconds to light up the area around
the vehicle after all the doors and the tailgate have been closed. This time interval is factory-set, but you can have it changed by a qualified
workshop to suit your own requirements (max. setting is 60 seconds).
Leaving home
The exterior lights are switched on when the vehicle is unlocked with the 
button on the remote control key.
The exterior lights go out when the driver door is opened or after 60 sec-
onds when the vehicle locks itself again automatically 
⇒ page 105.
WARNING
Before leaving the vehicle, remove the key from the ignition, as the lights
will not go out if the coming home function is activated. This will lead to
battery discharge and vehicle breakdown.
Note
● If you always wish to use the coming home and leaving home functions,
you can leave them permanently switched on. As the system is controlled
via a photosensor, it will only work in dark conditions.
● Permanent use of the coming home and leaving home functions, partic-
ularly on short journeys, will increase the load on the battery. To make sure
the battery is always sufficiently charged, occasionally drive longer distan-
ces.
● If the fog lights have been switched on by the coming home and leaving
home functions, they will always be switched off when you switch on the ig-
nition.
● Observe all relevant legal requirements when using the signalling and
lighting systems described here.

on the memory button. It is best to begin with memory button No. 1 for the
first driver and then assign the other memory buttons to each subsequent
driver.
The seat and mirror positions are stored when the vehicle is  locked with the
remote control and are assigned to the remote control key. The exterior mir-
rors adjust automatically to the previous position when you  unlock the vehi-
cle; the driver seat adjusts automatically when you open the driver door.
However, this does not delete the settings stored in memory buttons 1 to 4.
These settings can be enabled at any time. Activating settings
Stored settings can be recalled using either the memory but-
tons or the remote control (remote control key).
Using the memory buttons
– If the driver door is open, press the desired memory button
briefly.
– If the driver door is closed, press and hold down the appropri-
ate memory button until the seat and exterior mirrors reach
their programmed positions.
Using the remote control
– Unlock the vehicle using the remote control and open the driver
door within the next ten minutes.
The seat adjustment will have to be called up using the memory buttons if
the driver door is not opened within 10 minutes after unlocking the vehicle
with the remote control.
WARNING
● For safety reasons, the seat must only be adjusted when the vehicle
is at a standstill. Failure to do so could result in an accident.
● In an emergency, the memory function can be stopped at any time by
pressing the STOP button or by briefly pressing any of the memory but-
tons.
