. WARNING
● Never leave the key inside whenever you
leave the vehicle - even if only for a moment.
This is particularly important if children are
to remain in the vehicle. Children might start
the engine or some other electrical compo-
nent, e.g. electric windows. Risk of injury!
● Wait until the vehicle has completely stop-
ped before taking the key out of the ignition.
Otherwise the steering wheel may lock sud-
denly. Risk of accident! CAUTION
● Each key contains electronic components
and must, therefore, be protected from damp-
ness and strong vibrations.
● Keep the grooves in the key shaft clean.
Any dirt (fibre from clothing, dust, etc.) has a
negative impact on locks, ignition, etc. Note
Should a key be lost, request a duplicate key
from an Authorised SEAT dealer. Replacing the battery in the remote

Electric window opening and
closing Introduction WARNING
● When locking the vehicle from the outside,
make sure that nobody is inside the vehicle,
as the windows cannot be opened from the
inside in an emergency.
● For safety reasons, use safety button 5›››
Fig. 44 that deactivates the window
sw it
ches on the rear doors when children are
travelling in the rear seats. CAUTION
● Keep the windows clean to ensure the sys-
tem operates correctly.
● Defrost ››› page 125, Windows and exterior
mirrors any frozen windows before use. Oth-
er w
ise you run the risk of damaging the elec-
tric window riser mechanism.
● Always make sure all of the windows are
closed on leaving the locked vehicle. Note
● The vehicle heating and ventilation system
should be used to ventilate the interior while
driving. Leaving the windows open could al-
low dust and other dirt to enter the vehicle and cause unpleasant noises at certain
speeds.
● Do not leave the side windows open at high
speeds, as this will overly increase fuel con-
sumption. Using electric window switches

cooled down, the window can be operated
once again.
Roll-back function on electric
windows
The electric windows are equipped with a
roll-back system that reduces risk of injury
when closing windows.
If an obstacle is present, the closing mecha-
nism will stop and the window will roll back a
few centimetres.
If an obstacle prevents closing for the next
10 seconds, the closing mechanism will once
again stop and the window will roll back an-
other few centimetres.
If in the next 10 seconds you attempt to close
the window after it has rolled back the sec-
ond time, only the closing mechanism will be
stopped even if the obstacle is still present.
The roll-back function is still connected.
The roll-back function will only be disconnec-
ted if you once again attempt to close the
window in the following 10 seconds. In this
case, the window will close at full force
.
If you wait for a further 10 seconds, the roll-
back function will be once again connected. Lights and visibility
Lights Introduction The location of the controls of
right-hand
drive cars differs slightly from the location
sho wn her
e ››› Fig. 45 ››› page 61. However,
the symbols indicating the respective posi-
tions of the controls remain the same. WARNING
Never drive with only the side lights on! The
side lights are not bright enough to illumi-
nate the road ahead and to ensure that other
road users are able to see you. Always use
your dipped beam headlights if it is dark or if
visibility is poor. CAUTION
● Use the lights in line with local law.
● However, drivers always remain responsi-
ble for correctly adjusting and using the
lights. Note
● An audible warning will be heard when the
light control is set to and you remove the
ignition k ey
and open the door. Once the
driver door is closed (ignition off), the audi-
ble warning will stop, whereas the side lights will remain on to light up the stationary vehi-
cle in case this is necessary.
● Depending on weather conditions (cold or
wet), the lights may mist up temporarily on
the inside. This is particularly the case in the
event of a difference in temperature between
the inside and in front of the light. By switch-
ing on the lights, the area through which the
beam of light is projected will quickly be
demisted, although the edges may remain
misted. The real lights and turn signals can
mist up. This has no influence on the useful
life of the lighting system. Sidelight and headlight

time, the dipped beams and the instrument
panel lighting will automatically come on as
required (e.g. when entering a tunnel) and
the daytime running lights will switch off.
When the automatic dipped beam control
switches off the dipped beams (e.g. when
coming out of a tunnel), the daytime running
lights come back on. WARNING
The rear lights do not come on with the day-
time 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 raining
or in conditions of poor visibility. Note
Please observe any relevant legal require-
ments which may apply in your country. 62
