Note
If the vehicle battery has little or no
●
charge, or the vehicle key battery is almost
or entirely out of charge, you will probably
not be able to lock or unlock the vehicle
with the Keyless Access system. The vehi-
cle can be unlocked or locked manually
›››
page 100.
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.
Depending on the function set on the in-
●
fotainment system for the mirrors, the exte-
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 121.
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
1) Available depending on market and version.
Opening and closing
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.
If, when trying to block the vehicle, the
●
last used key is still inside, all the turn sig-
nals will flash 4 times.

Locking system "Safe"
When the vehicle is blocked, the "Safe" se-
curity system puts the door handles out of

the control panel screen stating that the

from the inside using an door handle.
The anti-theft alarm is activated.
●
The vehicle interior monitoring system and
●
the anti-tow system are disabled.
