time.

Where required, the automatic tailgate lock-

ing time extension function can be activated

or deactivated at an Authorised SEAT Serv-

ice, which will provide all the necessary infor-

mation.

Automatic protection against overheating

If the system is operated repeatedly in a short

space of time, it automatically switches off to

prevent overheating.

●

Never leave the vehicle unattended or al-

low children to play inside or next to it, es-

pecially if the rear lid is open. Children

could enter the luggage compartment,

close the rear lid and become trapped. A

locked vehicle can reach extremely high

and low temperatures, depending on the

time of year, thus causing serious injuries,

illness or even death.

Once the system is cool again, the function

can be reused. Until then, the rear lid can only

be opened and closed by hand using reason-

able force.

Before the vehicle locks automatically, there

is a risk of intruders getting into the vehicle.

Therefore, we recommend you always lock

the vehicle by pressing the  button on the

remote control or by using the central locking

button.

If with the rear lid open the vehicle battery is

disconnected››› page 355 or the corre-

sponding fuse burns out››› page 93, the sys-

tem will have to be reset. This requires closing

the rear lid completely once.

CAUTION

Before opening or closing the rear lid, make

sure that there is enough space to open or

close it, e.g. when pulling a trailer or in a

garage.
