  • Lock: press the Seat Leon interior central locking lock icon button button ››› Fig. 76.
  • Unlock: Press the Seat Leon interior central locking unlock icon button button ››› Fig. 76 again to open access.

Please note the following important operational details when using the central locking button to secure your Seat Leon from inside:

  • It is impossible to open any of the doors or the rear lid from the outside when this mode is active (useful for safety reasons, e.g., when stopped temporarily at traffic lights).
  • The central locking button indicator lamp lights up solid when all side doors are completely closed and locked.
  • You can open the individual doors manually from the inside at any time by pulling twice on the respective interior door handle.
  • The fuel tank flap remains unlocked during normal interior locking.

Hybrid vehicles: the fuel filler cap remains securely locked.

  • In the unfortunate event of a collision where the vehicle airbags inflate, doors locked from the inside will be unlocked automatically to facilitate emergency access and quick rescue assistance.

WARNING

  • The central locking button also functions with the engine ignition switched off, except when the advanced "Safe" security system is actively turned on.
  • The interior central locking button does not operate if the vehicle has been previously locked securely from the outside and the electronic security system is fully switched on.
  • Doors locked from the inside could significantly delay rescue assistance in an emergency situation. Never leave anyone, especially vulnerable children or pets, unattended inside the vehicle.

Note Your vehicle will lock automatically when it reaches a moving speed of approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) (Auto Lock). You can unlock the vehicle again using the Seat Leon central locking unlock symbol key of the central locking button on the console.
