Emergency disconnection
If the engine does not switch off after briefly
pressing the starter button, an emergency dis-
connect will be required:
●
Press the start button twice within 3 seconds
or press it once for more than 1 second .
Car wash function (hybrid vehicles)
When the ignition is turned off with gear N ac-
tivated, the vehicle can roll for the next 30 mi-
nutes. After that time, if the vehicle is stopped
the parking lock P activates automatically. The
corresponding warning message is displayed
on the instrument cluster display one minute
before this happens.
WARNING
Never switch off the engine while the vehicle
is moving. This could cause loss of control of
the vehicle, accidents and serious injury.
●
The airbags and belt tensioners do not
work when the ignition is switched off.
●
The brake servo does not work with the
engine off. Therefore, you need to press the
break pedal harder to brake the vehicle.
●
Power steering does not work when the en-
gine is not running. You need more strength
to steer when the engine is switched off.
●
If the ignition is switched off, the steering
column could be locked, making it impossi-
ble to control the vehicle.

Driving
WARNING
Always take the key with you when you leave
the vehicle. This is particularly important if
there are children in the vehicle, as they
might otherwise be able to start the engine
or use power-operated equipment (e.g. the
electric windows), which could cause inju-
ries.
NOTICE
●
If the vehicle is stopped and the Start-Stop
system switches off the engine, the ignition
remains switched on. Make sure that the ig-
nition is switched off before leaving the vehi-
cle, otherwise the battery could discharge.
●
If the engine has been driven at high speed
for a prolonged period of time, it may over-
heat when switched off. To avoid damage,
allow the engine to run for approximately two
minutes in neutral before switching it off.
Note
After the engine is switched off the radiator
fan may run on for up to 10 minutes, even
if the ignition is switched off. It is also pos-
sible that the fan turns itself on once more
if the coolant temperature increases due to
the heat accumulated in the engine com-
partment or due to its prolonged exposure to
solar radiation.
Electronic immobilizer
The electronic immobiliser helps to prevent the
engine from being started with an unauthorised
key and, consequently, the vehicle being put in
motion.
The vehicle key has an integrated chip which
automatically deactivates the electronic immo-
biliser if there is a valid key inside the passenger
compartment.
The electronic immobiliser is automatically ac-
tivated when there is no longer a valid key in-
side the vehicle.
For this reason, the engine can only be started
with a properly coded Original SEAT key. This
type of keys can be purchased from a SEAT
dealer.
NOTICE
A perfect operation of the vehicle is ensured
if genuine SEAT keys are used.
