Note
● Never leave any valuable items in the vehi-
cle unattended. Even a locked vehicle is not a
safe.
● If the diode on the driver door sill lights up
for about 30 seconds when the vehicle is
locked, the central locking system or anti-
theft alarm* is not working properly. You
should have the fault repaired at a SEAT Offi-
cial Service or specialised workshop.
● The vehicle interior monitoring of the anti-
theft alarm* system will only function as in-
tended if the windows and the sunroof* are
closed.

nals are switched on for a short time. When

Replacing a key
To obtain a spare key and other vehicle keys,
the vehicle chassis number is required.
Each new key contains a microchip which
must be coded with the data from the vehicle
electronic immobiliser. A vehicle key will not
work if it does not contain a microchip or the
microchip has not been encoded. This is also
true for keys which are specially cut for the
(arrow)
vehicle.
