Keyless Access is a key-free locking and igni-
tion sy
s
t

em to unlock and lock the vehicle
without actively using its key. For this, all that is required is to have a valid vehicle key near
›››
Fig. 124 the vehicle and one of the sensor
surfaces on the door handles to be touched
››› Fig. 125.
General information
If a valid key is in the proximity of the car
››› Fig. 124, the Keyless Access locking and
starting system gives the key entry as soon
as one of the sensor surfaces on the door
handles is touched or the push button on the
boot hatch is operated. The following fea-
tures are then available without having to
use the vehicle key actively:
● Keyless-Entry: unlocking of the vehicle with
the handle
s on the four doors or the button
on the boot hatch.
● Keyless-Go: engine ignition and driving. For
this t
o occur, there has to be a valid key in-
side the vehicle and the ››› page 155. igni-
tion push button needs to be pressed.
● Keyless-Exit: locking of the vehicle with one
of the four door h
andles.
The central locking and locking systems oper-
ate in the same way as a normal locking and
unlocking system. Only the controls change.
Unlocking the vehicle is confirmed with a
double flash of the indicator lights; locking
by a single flash. The vehicle will lock again after a few sec-
onds if

you unlock the vehicle but fail to open
any door or boot hatch.
Unlocking and opening the doors (Keyless-
Entry)
● Grip the door handle. In doing this, the
sensor sur
face ››› Fig. 125 A (arrow) on the
h andl
e i
s touched and the vehicle unlocks.
● Open the door.
On vehic
les without a “Safe” security sys-
tem: closing and locking the doors (Keyless-
Exit)
● Switch the ignition off.
● Close the driver's door.
● Touch (once) the sensor surface B (arrow)
on the door h andl
e.

The door that is used
must be closed.
On vehicles with a “Safe” security system:
shutting and locking doors (Keyless-Exit)
● Switch the ignition off.
● Close the driver's door.
● Touch (once) the sensor surface B (arrow)
on the door h andl
e.

The vehicle locks with
the “Safe” ››› page 112 system. The door that
is used must be closed.
● Touch (twice) the sensor surface B (arrow)
on the door h andl
e t

o lock the vehicle with-
out the Safe security system ››› page 112.

Opening and closing
Unlocking and locking the boot hatch
When the v
ehic
le is locked, the hatch auto-
matically unlocks on opening if ››› Fig. 124
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 152. In
order to enable engine ignition, the  button
on the key inside the vehicle needs to be
pressed ››› page 108.
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 one of the sensor surfaces on the door han-
dles is often activated in an unusual manner with the vehicle locked (e.g. by the branches
of a bu

sh rubbing against it), all proximity
sensors are disabled for a time. If this only
happens with the exterior sensor on the driv-
er'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.

You can deactivate the vehicle's Keyless Ac-
cess unlocking for a locking and unlocking
cycle.
● Move the gear lever to position P (if the v
e-
hicle has automatic gearbox), since other-
wise the vehicle cannot be locked.
● Close the door.
● Push the central locking button  on the
remote c
ontrol and touch the locking sensor
surface ››› Fig. 125 B on the driver door han-
dl e onc
e w

ithin the following 5 seconds. Do
not grip the door handle, otherwise the vehi-
cle will not lock. Deactivation is also possible
if the vehicle is locked through the driver’s
door lock.
● To check that the function has been deacti-
vated, w
ait at least 10 seconds, grip and pull on the door handle. The door should not
open.
The next time the door c

an only be unlocked
via the remote control or the lock cylinder.
The next time the door is locked/unlocked,
Keyless Access will be active again.

● 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, the correct functioning of the sen-
sors on the door handles may be affected. If
this is the case, wash the vehicle

General
notes The anti-theft alarm system increases vehicle
prot
ection fr

om intruders. The system will ini-
tiate acoustic and optical warning signals
when your vehicle is tried to be forced.
Activating the alarm system
The anti-theft alarm switches on automatical-
ly when the vehicle is locked using the re-
mote control key or inserting the key in the
driver door. The alarm is activated around 30
seconds after the vehicle is locked.
Deactivating the alarm system
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated
when the remote control unlock button is
pressed. If the vehicle is not opened within
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 .

● 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

The light beam of the dipped beam lights is
asymmetric: the s
ide of

the road on which
you are driving is lit more intensely.
When a car that is manufactured in a country
that drives on the right travels to a country
that drives on the left (or vice versa), it is nor-
mally necessary to cover part of the headlight
bulbs with stickers or to change the adjust-
ment of the headlights to avoid dazzling oth-
er drivers.
In such cases, the regulations specify certain
light values that must be complied with for
designated points of the light distribution.
This is known as “Tourist light”.
The light distribution of the halogen and full-
LED headlights of the SEAT Toledo allows the
specific “tourist light” values to be met with-
out the need for stickers or changes in the
settings. Note
“Tourist light” is only allowed temporarily. If
you ar e p

lanning a long stay in a country that
drives on the other side, you should take the
vehicle to an Authorised Technical Service to
change the headlights. Interior lights
