SEAT Leon Service and Repair Manual / Maintenance / Description of work / Check vehicle key operation

Remove the keys from the key ring in order to check each one's operation.
Place all the vehicle keys one by one in the ignition and start the engine.
If after approximately 3 seconds the engine stops by itself and the message "save" appears in the mileometer, this means that the key in question has not been programmed for the immobiliser.
Repair measure: Guided fault location (programming the vehicle keys).
Note the number of vehicle keys that have been checked and delivered in the inspection record.

Check the operation of the alarm.

Lock the vehicle using the lock button on the remote control key.

Vehicles with volumetric sensor

Insert one hand through the open window.

The volumetric sensors will detect the movement of the hand inside the vehicle compartment and the alarm system will be triggered.

Stop the alarm system using the unlock button on the remote control key.

Check the batteries in the remote control key

As the batteries in the remote control key run down, the radius of action also diminishes.

If the battery warning light does not flash when the buttons are pressed the battery should be replaced.
