The remote control key can
● Lock and unlock the vehicle
● Unlock or open the rear lid
The remot e c

ontrol transmitter and the bat-
teries are integrated in the key. The receiver
is inside the vehicle. The remote control key
has a maximum range of 30 metres. The
range is reduced as the batteries start to lose
power.
The key includes a foldaway part that can be
used to manually lock or unlock the vehicle
and to start the engine.
If a lost key is replaced or the receiver is re-
paired or changed, the remote control key
must be adapted by an authorised SEAT deal-
er. Only then can the remote control key be
used again. Note
● The remot e c

ontrol is automatically deacti-
vated when the ignition is switched on. ●
The remot e c

ontrol function may be tempo-
rarily limited by interference from other
transmitters near the vehicle that operate on
the same frequency (e.g. mobile phone, tele-
vision transmitter).
● If the central locking system or the anti-
theft a
larm only responds to the remote con-
trol at a distance of less than 3 metres, then
the battery must be replaced ››› page 111.
● If the driver door is open, the vehicle can-
not be lock

Operation
Unlocking and locking the boot hatch
When the v
ehic
le is locked, the hatch auto-
matically unlocks on opening if ››› Fig. 122
there is a valid vehicle key in the proximity.
Open or close the hatch normally
››› page 118.
After closing, the hatch locks automatically.
In the following instances, the rear lid does
not lock automatically after closing:
● If the entire vehicle is unlocked.
● If the key used last is inside the vehicle. All
vehicl
e indicator lights flash four times. The
vehicle will lock again after a few seconds if
no door or boot hatch are opened.
Locking the vehicle with a second key
If there is a vehicle key inside the vehicle and
it is locked from the outside with a second
vehicle key, the key inside the vehicle is
blocked for engine ignition ››› page 153. In
order to enable engine ignition, the button on the key inside the vehicle needs to be
pr
e
s

sed ››› page 109.
Automatically disabling sensors
If the vehicle is not locked or unlocked for a
long period of time, the proximity sensor on
the passenger door is automatically disa-
bled.
If the exterior sensor on the door handle is
often activated unusually with the vehicle locked (e.g. by the branches of a bush rub-
bing ag

ainst it), all proximity sensors are dis-
abled for a time. If this only happens with the
exterior sensor on the driver's door, only this
sensor is disabled.
Sensors will again be enabled:
● After a time.
● OR: if the vehicle is unlocked with the but-
ton  on the key.
● OR: if the boot is opened.

convenience feature, keep your finger for a
few seconds on the lock sensor surface
››› Fig. 123 B located on the exterior part of

windows and roof close.
Opening the doors by touching the sensor
surface on the handle takes place in accord-
ance with the settings activated on the menu
Configuration - Convenience . CAUTION
The sensor surfaces on the door handles
cou l

d engage if hit with a water jet or high
pressure steam if there is a valid vehicle key
in the nearby area. If at least one of the win-
dows is open and the sensor surface B on
one of the h andl

e permanently activates, all windows will close. If the water jet or steam
is
briefly

moved away from the sensor sur-
face A on one of the handles and then poin-
ted at it

again, all the windows will probably
open ››› page 116, Convenience functions. Note
● If the v

ehicle battery has little or no charge,
or the vehicle key battery is almost or entire-
ly out of charge, it is likely that the vehicle
will not be able to be lock or unlocked with
the Keyless Access system. The vehicle can
be unlocked or locked manually
›››  page 9.
● If there is no valid key inside the vehicle or
the syst
em fails to detect one, a warning will
display on the dash panel screen. This could
happen if any other radio frequency signal in-
terferes with the key signal (e.g. from a mo-
bile device accessory) or if the key is covered
by another object (e.g. an aluminium case).
● If the sensors are very dirty, e.g. have a lay-
er of sa
lt, how the sensors on the door han-
dles operate may be affected. If this is the
case, wash the vehicle ››› page 194.
● If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic

30 seconds after emitting the radio frequen-
cy signal, the system will be reactivated.
If the vehicle is unlocked using by inserting
the key in the driver door, the ignition must
be switched on within 15 seconds. This deac-
tivates the alarm system. If, during these 15
seconds, the vehicle is not started , the alarm
is triggered . When does the system trigger an alarm?

 page 17 WARNING
● When mov in

g with the engine switched off,
the ignition key must always remain in posi-
tion 2
››› Fig. 172 ›
›› page 154 (ignition on).
The control lamps will light up in this posi-
tion. Otherwise, the steering lock could en-
gage suddenly. Risk of accident!
● Do not remove the key from the ignition un-
til the
vehicle has come to a standstill and is
secure (e.g. the handbrake is engaged). Oth-
erwise, the steering lock could suddenly en-
gage. Risk of accident!
● Always take the ignition key with you when
you le
ave the vehicle. This is particularly im-
portant if you leave children in the vehicle.
Children could, for example, start the engine
with the subsequent risk of accident.
● Never leave the engine running in unventi-
lated or c
losed rooms. The exhaust gases
contain carbon monoxide, an odourless and
colourless poisonous gas. Risk of fatal acci-
dents! Carbon monoxide can cause people to
lose consciousness and can cause death. ●
Never l e

ave the vehicle unattended if the
engine is running.
● Never switch the engine off until the vehi-
cle h
as come to a complete stop. Risk of acci-
dent! CAUTION
● Turnin g the s

teering wheel fully in either
direction when the vehicle is stationary and
the engine is in gear puts the power steering
under great stress. This could lead to noise.
Never leave the steering wheel turned fully in
either direction for more than 15 seconds.
Risk of damage to the power steering system!
● The starter motor may only be used (key
position 3
››› Fig. 172 ›
›› page 154 in the ig-
nition) if the engine is off. Using the starter
motor when the engine is running could dam-
age it.
● Immediately release the ignition key when
the engine st
arts, otherwise damage could be
caused to the starter motor.
● When the engine is cold, you should avoid
high engine speed
s, driving at full throttle
and over-loading the engine before it reaches
operating temperature. Risk of engine dam-
age!
● Do not tow-start the engine. Risk of engine
damag
e! In vehicles with a catalytic convert-
er, fuel that has not been burned could reach
the catalytic converter and catch fire in it.
This would lead to a fault in the catalytic con-
verter. You may use the battery from another » 153

Brakes and brake servo sys-
tems Introduction WARNING
● The brak e ser

vo only works when the en-
gine is running. Braking when the engine is
switched off requires applying more strength
to the brake pedal. Risk of accident!
● Press down on the clutch pedal when stop-
ping and brak
ing with a manual gearbox, pet- rol engine vehicle at low speed. Otherwise,
the brak
e ser

vo might not work properly. Risk
of accident!
● In the event of damage to the standard
front s
poiler or where a different front spoil-
er, wheel trims, etc. are subsequently fitted,
make sure the air vent to the brakes on the
front wheels is not blocked. Otherwise, brak-
ing operations may be impaired. Risk of acci-
dent!
● Always fully release the handbrake. If it is
only p
artially released, this will cause over-
heating of the rear brakes, which can impair
the function of the brake system. Risk of acci-
dent!
● Never leave children unsupervised in the
vehicl
e. They could release the handbrake or
move the gear lever. The vehicle could start
moving. Risk of accident!
● Insufficient fuel can cause the engine to run
irregu
larly or to switch off. Brake assist sys-
tems could be impaired. Risk of accident!
● Always adjust your driving style to suit visi-
bility
, the weather and road and traffic condi-
tions. The best vehicle safety offered by
brake assist systems must never encourage
you to run greater risks. Risk of accident! CAUTION
