Locking System “Safe” - Seat Ateca 2020 Owner's Manual

CAUTION
The sensor surfaces on the door handles
could engage if hit with a water jet or high
pressure steam if there is a valid vehicle
key in the proximity. If at least one of the
electric windows is open and the sensor
›››
surface Fig. 92 (arrow) on one of the
B
handles is activated continuously, all win-
dows will close.
Note
If the 12-volt vehicle battery has little or
●
no charge, or the vehicle key battery is al-
most or entirely out of charge, you will
probably not be able to lock or unlock the
vehicle with the Keyless Access system.
The vehicle can be unlocked or locked
›››
manually page 109.
To control the proper locking of the vehi-
●
cle, the release function is disabled for ap-
prox. 2 seconds.
If the message Keyless access system
●
is displayed on the screen of the
faulty
dash panel, abnormalities may occur in the
operation of the Keyless Access system.
Contact a specialised workshop. SEAT rec-
ommends visiting a SEAT dealership for
this.

Opening and closing
rior mirrors will unfold and the surround
lighting will come on when unlocking the
vehicle using the sensor surface on the
driver and passenger door handles
›››
page 130.
If there is no valid key inside the vehicle
●
or the system fails to detect one, a warning
will display on the dash panel screen. This
could happen if any other radio frequency
signal interferes with the key signal (e.g.
from a mobile 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
●
layer of salt, the correct functioning of the
sensors on the door handles may be affec-
ted. In this case, clean the vehicle.
If the vehicle is equipped with an auto-
●
matic gearbox, it may only be locked in the
gear stick is in position P.
To improve the safety of your vehicle, the
●
remote control of the system is equipped
with a position sensor. If this remote control
does not detect movement for a certain
length of time, the system will conclude
that the vehicle cannot be opened (e.g. on
a night table) so it will be disabled.
