Seat Ibiza Owner's Manual page 143

The warning lamp  on the instrument panel lights up when the brake ped-
al should be applied. This is essential when the selector lever is taken from
the P or N positions.
Level lock only engages with the vehicle stationary at a speed of up to
5 km/h (3 mph). At speeds of over 5 km/h (3 mph) the selector lever lock is
automatically deactivated in position N.
The selector lever lock is not engaged if the selector lever is moved quickly
through position N (e.g. when shifting from R to D). This makes it possible,
for instance, to "rock" the vehicle backwards and forwards if it is stuck in
snow or mud. The selector lever lock engages automatically if the brake
pedal is not depressed and the lever is in position N for more than about
1second.
Driving a car with an automatic gearbox
The gearbox changes gear ratios automatically as the vehicle
moves.
Starting
– Start the engine with the selector lever in position P or N.
