Duplicate keys
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
electronic vehicle immobilizer. In vehicle key will not work if it does not con-
tain microchip or the microchip 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 Specialised workshop or approved key service qualified to create this kind
of key.
Synchronise new keys or spare keys before use ⇒ p age 31.
CAUTION
The remote control key contains electronic components. Protect the vehicle
keys from damage, impacts and humidity.
Note
Only use the key button when you require the corresponding function. Push-
ing the button unnecessarily could accidentally unlock the vehicle or trigger
the alarm. It is also possible even when you are outside the radius of action.
Note
Remote control key operation can be greatly influenced by overlapping ra-
dio signals around the vehicle working in the same range of frequencies (for
example, radio transmitters, mobile telephones).
Note
Obstacles between the remote control and the vehicle, bad weather condi-
tions and discharged batteries can considerably reduce the range of the re-
mote control.
