2 remote control keys
In certain European markets, vehicles with alarm are equipped with 2 re-
mote control keys.
WARNING
● Always take the key with you when leaving the vehicle, even if you
only intend to be gone for a short time. This is particularly important if
there are children in the vehicle, as they might otherwise be able to start
the engine or use power-operated equipment (e.g. the electric windows),
which could cause injuries.
● Wait for the vehicle to come to a standstill before removing the igni-
tion key from the lock! Otherwise, the steering lock could engage sud-
denly, causing an accident.
Indicator light on the remote control key
The condition of the battery in the remote control key is
monitored by the indicator light.

mote control key Condition of the key battery
The indicator light
⇒ Fig. 69 (arrow) flashes when one of the buttons is
pressed. If the indicator light does not light up or flash, this means that the
battery is exhausted and must be replaced.

Opening and closing
– Insert the new battery. Make sure that the “+” symbol on the
battery is facing downwards. The correct polarity is indicated on
the cover.
– After inserting the battery, align the cover and key and press
the two parts together.
For the sake of the environment
Used batteries must be disposed of at an appropriate waste facility or
through an authorised service, given that their components can affect the
environment.
Note
● The system must be re-synchronised after each battery replacement to
be able to lock and unlock the vehicle using the remote control
⇒ page 107.
● The new battery must be of the same type as the original.
Electronic immobiliser
The electronic immobiliser is designed to prevent unauthor-
ised persons from starting up the vehicle.
There is an electronic chip inside the key which automatically deactivates
the immobiliser when the key is inserted into the ignition lock. The electron-
ic immobiliser is enabled automatically when the ignition key is removed
from the ignition lock after coming to a stop.
If an uncoded key is used, the message SAFE* will appear in the trip record-
er display.
Note
● The engine can only be started using an original SEAT key with the cor-
rect code.
● It may not be possible to start the engine with the key if there is another
ignition key from a different make of vehicle on the same key tab.
Central locking system
Description
The central locking system enables you to lock and unlock
all the doors, the rear lid and the tank flap together. The central locking system on your vehicle locks and unlocks all the doors
and the tank flap simultaneously. The rear lid is unlocked when the vehicle
is opened. However, the handle must be used to open it. The vehicle can be
locked and unlocked using the remote control ⇒ page 105 or by turning the
key in the lock in the driver door.
The windows can also be centrally opened or closed using the central lock-
ing system ⇒ page 111. The sunroof* can be closed but not opened using
the central locking system.
The central locking system is combined with an anti-theft security system.
If the vehicle is locked with the key from the outside, the interior opening
levers stop working, which prevents unauthorised persons from entering
the vehicle.
Should the central locking system fail to work, you can activate all the locks
individually.

Please note the following when using the central locking switch to lock your
vehicle:
● The doors and the rear lid cannot be opened from the outside (for secur-
ity reasons, e.g. when stopped at traffic lights).
● You can open the doors individually from the inside by pulling the inside
door handle.
● When the driver door is open, it cannot be locked by pressing the central
locking switch and then closing the door. This helps to prevent you from be-
ing locked out of the vehicle. The door has to be locked separately after it
has been closed.
● In the event of an accident in which the airbags inflate, doors locked
from the inside will be automatically unlocked to facilitate access and assis-
tance.
WARNING
The central locking switch is still operative when the ignition is switched
off. This switch can be used to automatically lock all the doors and the
rear lid. However, since this makes it difficult to enter the vehicle from
the outside, you should never leave children unattended in the vehicle.
Locked doors could delay assistance in an emergency, potentially putting
lives at risk.
Note
The central locking switch inside the vehicle will not be operative if the anti-
theft mechanism has been enabled. Security central locking*
The security central locking feature allows you to only unlock
the driver door and the tank flap. All other doors and the
rear lid remain locked.

Description
The remote control key will lock and unlock the vehicle with-
out having to insert the key in the lock. The following functions are available:
● Locking and unlocking the vehicle
● Unlocking the rear lid
All the turn signals will flash as confirmation when the vehicle is locked or
unlocked. Furthermore, the interior lights will automatically light up when
the vehicle is unlocked and go out when the vehicle is locked, provided that
the switches are in the courtesy light position.
The remote control transmitter and the battery are integrated into the han-
dle of the key. The receiver is in the interior of the vehicle. The maximum
range depends on different circumstances. The range is reduced when the
battery starts to lose power.
The remote control incorporates a foldaway key that can be used to manual-
ly lock or unlock the vehicle, as well as to start the engine.
If the receiver has been repaired or replaced, or if a replacement key is
used, the system will need re-programming by a specialised workshop. Only
then will you be able use the remote control again.
The remote control meets all relevant authorisation requirements and has
been approved by the Federal Approvals Office for Telecommunications of
the Federal Republic of Germany. All components are marked in accordance
with the current legal requirements. This certification forms the basis for of-
ficial approval for use in other countries.

Anti-theft alarm system* 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 rear lid 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.
Opening and closing function in cars with alarm
When using the key only without remote control to lock and unlock:
in unlocking all the doors, they unlock simultaneously.
When using the key only without remote control to lock and unlock: 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 108

108Opening and closing
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 rear lid are properly closed and locked.
If the turn signals do not flash, check the doors, the bonnet and the rear lid
to make sure they are properly closed. The turn signals will also flash briefly
if one of the doors or the rear lid 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.
Fig. 79 Interior monitor-
ing switch
You should disable the interior monitoring if there is a possibility
that the alarm could be triggered, e.g. by a pet or by an object
moving inside the vehicle ⇒
. The tow-away protection feature,
which is integrated into the alarm system, should be disabled if
the vehicle is being towed or transported (e.g. by rail or ship).
Deactivating the interior monitoring
– Open the door and pull out the switch A
(with the symbol
)
to one side of the storage compartment, in the driver door
⇒ Fig. 79.
– Lock the vehicle.
