Trip memo-
ry (for a
single jour-
ney).
The memory stores the values for the
journey and the consumption from
the moment the ignition is switched
on until it is switched off again.
If the journey is broken for more than
2 hours, the memory is automatically
erased. If the journey is continued in
less than 2 hours after the ignition is
switched off, the new data is added to
the data already stored in the memo-
ry.
2Total mem-
ory (for all
journeys).
The memory stores the values of any
number of journeys, until it counts a
total of 19 hours and 59 minutes of
driving, or 1999.9 km or miles of driv-
ing, depending on the type of instru-
ment panel fitted. On reaching either
of these limits, the memory is auto-
matically erased and starts to count
from 0 again. Possible displays

Remote control key Remote control key
With the vehicle key the vehicle may be
locked or unlocked remotely
››› page 45.
The vehicle key includes an emitter and bat-
tery. The receiver is in the interior of the vehi-
cle. The range of the vehicle key with remote
control and new battery is several metres
around the vehicle.
If it is not possible to open or close the vehi-
cle using the remote control key, this should
be re-synchronised ››› page 45 or the bat-
tery changed ››› page 44. Different keys belonging to the vehicle may
be used.
Folding the key shaft in and out
When the button is pressed
››› Fig. 27 A , the
key shaft is released and unfolds.
To fold it
press the button and fold the key
sh
aft in until it locks in place.
Replacing a key
To obtain a spare key and other vehicle keys,
the vehicle chassis number is required.
Each new key must contain a microchip and
be coded with the data from the vehicle elec-
tronic immobiliser. A vehicle key will not work
if it does not contain a microchip or the mi-
crochip has not been encoded. This is also
true for keys cut for the vehicle.
The vehicle keys or new spare keys can be
obtained from a SEAT dealership, a Special-
ised workshop or approved key service quali-
fied to create this kind of key.
New keys or spare keys must be synchron-
ised before use ››› page 45. WARNING
Careless or incorrect use of vehicle keys may
result in severe injury and accident.
● Always take all the keys with you whenever
you leave the vehicle. Children and unauthor-
ised individuals could lock the doors or the boot hatch, start the engine or turn on the ig-
nition, activating electrical systems, the elec-
tric windows, for example.
●
Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the car. They could be trapped in the
car in an emergency and will not be able to
get themselves to safety. For example, de-
pending on the time of the year, tempera-
tures inside a locked and closed vehicle can
be extremely high or extremely low resulting
in serious injuries and illness or even death,
particularly for young children.
● Never remove the key from the ignition if
the vehicle is in motion. The steering may
lock and it will not be possible to turn the
steering wheel. CAUTION
The remote control key contains electronic
components. Protect them from damage, im-
pacts and humidity. Note
● Only use the key button when you require
the corresponding function. Pushing the but-
ton unnecessarily could accidentally unlock
the vehicle or trigger the alarm. It is also pos-
sible even when you are outside the radius of
action.
● Remote control key operation can be great-
ly influenced by overlapping radio signals
around the vehicle working in the same range » 43Technical specifications

SEAT recommend having the batteries
changed in a specialised workshop.
The battery is located to the rear of the vehi-
cle key, under a cover.
Changing the battery
● Unfold the vehicle key shaft ››› page 43.
● Remove the cover from the back of the ve-
hicle key ››› Fig. 30 in the direction of the ar-
r o
w ››› .
● Extract the battery from the compartment
using a suitable thin object ››› Fig. 31 .

e the new battery in the compartment,
pressing in the direction of the arrow as
shown ››› Fig. 31 ››› .
● Fit the battery compartment cover, pressing
in the direction of the arrow as shown
››› Fig. 30 until it clicks into place. CAUTION
● If the battery is not changed correctly, the
vehicle key may be damaged.
● Use of unsuitable batteries may damage
the vehicle key. For this reason, always re-
place the dead battery with another of the
same voltage, size and specifications.
● When fitting the battery, check that the po-
larity is correct. For the sake of the environment
Please dispose of your used batteries correct-
ly and with respect for the environment. Synchronising the vehicle key
If the button
 is pressed frequently outside
of the vehicle range, it is possible that the ve-
hicle can no longer be locked or unlocked us-
ing the key. In this case, the vehicle key must
be synchronised once more as follows:
● Unfold the vehicle key shaft ›››
page 43.
● Press the button  on the vehicle key. For
this, it must remain with the vehicle.
● Open the vehicle within one minute using
the key shaft.
● Turn on the ignition using the vehicle key.
The key has been synchronised.
● If necessary, fit the cap.
Central locking* and locking
system Introduction Central locking functions correctly when all
the doors and the rear lid are correctly shut.If the driver door is open, the vehicle
cannot
be locked with the key.
The battery of an unlocked vehicle parked for
a long period (e.g. in a private garage) may
run down and fail to start the motor. WARNING
The incorrect use of the central locking sys-
tem may cause serious injuries.
● The central locking system will lock all
doors. A vehicle locked from the inside can
prevent any non-authorised individual from
opening the doors and accessing the vehicle.
Nevertheless, in case of emergency or acci-
dent, locked doors will complicate access to
the vehicle interior to help the passengers.
● Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the vehicle. The central locking but-
ton can be used to lock all the doors from
within. Therefore, passengers will be locked
inside the vehicle. Individuals locked in the
vehicle can be exposed to very high or very
low temperatures.
● Depending on the time of the year, temper-
atures inside a locked and closed vehicle can
be extremely high or extremely low resulting
in serious injuries and illness or even death,
particularly for young children.
● Never leave individuals locked in a closed
and locked vehicle. In case of emergency,
they may not be able to exit the vehicle by
themselves or get help. 45

Childproof lock Fig. 36
Childproof lock on the left hand side
door The childproof lock prevents the rear doors
from being opened from the inside. This sys-
tem prevents minors from opening a door ac-
cidentally while the vehicle is running.
This function is independent of the vehicle
electronic opening and locking systems. It
only affects rear doors. It can only be activa-
ted and deactivated manually, as described
below:
Activating the childproof lock
– Unlock the vehicle and open the door in
which you wish to activate the childproof
lock.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in
the door using the ignition key, anti-clock-
wise for the left-hand side doors ››› Fig. 36 and clockwise for the right-hand side
doors.
Deactivating the childproof lock – Unlock the vehicle and open the door
whose childproof lock you want to deacti-
vate.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in
the door using the ignition key, anti-clock-
wise for the right-hand side doors, and
clockwise for the left-hand side doors
››› Fig. 36 .
Onc e the c
hildproof lock is activated, the
door can only be opened from the outside.
The childproof lock can be activated or deac-
tivated by inserting the key in the groove
when the door is open, as described above.
Rear lid Introduction WARNING
Careless and unsuitable locking, opening and
closing of the rear lid can cause accidents
and serious injury.
● Open and close the rear lid only when no-
body is in the way. ●
Do not close the rear lid by pushing it down
with your hand on the rear window. This
could break and cause injury.
● Ensure the rear lid is locked after closing,
otherwise, it may open unexpectedly while
driving. A closed rear lid should be flush with
the corresponding parts of the bodywork.
● Always keep the rear lid closed while driv-
ing to avoid toxic gases entering the vehicle
interior.
● Do not open the rear lid when there is a
load installed, for example a carrier system.
Likewise, the boot hatch cannot be opened
when a load is attached to it, for example bi-
cycles. An open rear lid could close itself if
there is an additional weight on it. If necessa-
ry, press down on the rear lid and remove the
load.
● Close and lock both the rear lid and all the
other doors when you are not using the vehi-
cle. Ensure that nobody remains inside the
vehicle.
● Never allow children to play inside or
around the vehicle without supervision, espe-
cially if the rear lid is open. Children could
enter the luggage compartment, close the
rear lid and become trapped. Depending on
the time of the year, temperatures inside a
locked and closed vehicle can be extremely
high or extremely low resulting in serious in-
juries and illness or even death, particularly
for young children.
● Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the vehicle. If the vehicle key or the 50

To switch the daytime driving light on or off,
it is necessary to fit or remove the corre-
sponding fuse. Ask for professional assis-
tance for this. WARNING
If the road is not well-lit and the vehicle is
not clearly visible to other drivers, an acci-
dent may occur.
● Never use the daytime driving light if the
road is not well-lit as a result of the weather conditions and poor visibility. The daytime
driving lights are not bright enough to illumi-
nate the road ahead and to ensure that other
road users are able to see you.
●
The rear lights do not come on with the
daytime driving light. A vehicle which does
not have the rear lights on may not be visible
to other drivers in the darkness, if it is rain-
ing or in conditions of poor visibility. Note
The headlights, rear lights and turn signals
may mist up temporarily on the inside in cool
or damp weather. This is normal and in no
way effects the useful life of the vehicle light-
ing system. Turn signal and main beam lever

● The main beam headlights can only be
sw

itched on if the dipped beam headlights
are already on. Adjusting the headlights
In those countries where vehicles drive on
the other side of the road to the home coun-
try, the asymmetric dipped beam may dazzle
drivers of oncoming vehicles.
For this reason, stickers may be needed to
cover the headlights when driving abroad.
For further information, please refer to a spe-
cialised workshop. SEAT recommends visiting
a technical service.
Note
The use of stickers to cover headlights is only
permitted over a short period. To modify the
direction of the headlamps more permanent-
ly, please take the vehicle to a specialised
workshop. SEAT recommends taking your car
in for technical service. Headlight range control, lighting of
