Driving
A short sequence of acoustic signals indi-
cat
es that the driv
e system has been recon-
nected.
If 30 seconds elapse without the drive system
being reconnected, the drive system can be
reconnected manually as described in
›››
page 141. In this case, bear in mind the
messages shown on the instrument panel
display.
WARNING
If the vehicle is left unattended with the
drive syst
em connected, accidents and se-
rious injuries can occur.
●
Never leave the vehicle unattended with
the drive system connected.
●
Always switch off the ignition and place
the selector lever in position P before leav-
ing the vehicle.
●
When parking or getting out of the vehi-
cle, always check that the selector lever is
in the P position and that the handbrake is
applied and tightened.
●
When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure that all the doors, the windows, the
rear lid and the bonnet are completely
closed and locked.
Electronic immobilizer
The electronic immobiliser helps to prevent
the driv
e syst
em from being connected with
an unauthorised key and, consequently, the
vehicle being put in motion.
The vehicle key has a built-in chip. When a
valid key is inserted into the ignition lock, the
chip automatically deactivates the electronic
immobiliser.
The electronic immobiliser will be activated
again automatically as soon as you pull the
key out of the ignition lock.
For this reason, the vehicle's drive system can
only be connected with a properly coded
Original SEAT key. This type of keys can be
purchased from a SEAT dealer.
Note
The correct operation of the vehicle is only
guarant
eed with the original SEAT keys.
