Ditto me, always thought the 2nd click was deadlocking. One day I'll read a manual, intil then I'll remain a certified idiot.
Isn't there another thread on here about IQ and most people are posting 130+ putting us in the intelligent category!

The DEALER when i bought mine even told me the 2nd press was for arming deadlocks, not turning them off. Its total tatt if you ask me because if its 2 clicks for off then when you lock your car you sometimes, then turn around and split second forget if u locked it and so press it again, if im out shopping i may do this alot as i walk away wonder if i pressed it so give it another tap. I never thought that second press would make the car easier to nick!!
Why would you ant to turn them off, its not for pets is it like the volumetric off switch on the seat belt pillar? God these cars have more safety features for dogs then they do for us!!
Those bloody plastic cap jacking point covers on the skirts arent jacking points atall they are caps for putting up an awning for your dog.

thank god for this post
ive allways pressed it twice aswell because i thought the second click was the deadlocks arming
it also sounds more impressive when you hear that loud clunk in front of the nieghbours like the car is somehow even safer haha

I've just read my handbook, 2002 Leon 20VT, this might help.
If you press the close button twice: the the dead locks and alarm are deactivated and the indicators do not work.
When unlocking the car with remote, all areas will be automatically locked again if the doors or tailgate are not opened within 30 seconds, but the deadlocks and alarm are not activated.

just think, why the hell would you make 1 click the less secure option?
it makes no sense.
1 click secure with deadlocks
2 clicks without.

Its really stupid is that as i always pressed it several times just to make sure it was locked.
why the hell is it stupid?
makes sense to me.
why have a system that you have to press it twice 99.9% of the time and once 0.1% of the time...
someone at some point will actually see this logic.
I can see this is confusing but still think 2 clicks should arm the deadlocks as someone above said how many times to you press to lock to double check! double checking means you can disarm the dealocks - that is madness.
Andy - I see the logic but it just is not good enough for donuts like me who can't remember after 10 seconds whether they have locked the car or not!

I can see the logic in having only one press to set the alarm and do the deadlocks, volumnmetric's cos' who the hell 100% on the time is going to remember to press the button twice to do it all, it just ain't happening !!!
That's probably why the boffins at SEAT did it like that, but why they didn't have the alarm chirping when it's set/unset now theres another thread intirly...

Yep it's one press.
However on my MK5 Golf work car it is 2 pushes and you can actually hear the dead locks activate.
Why can't VAG just make them all the same...????

I can't believe people are arguing that it should be two presses! 
One press is easier and quicker than two presses, right?
So when you're out in the rain and cold, and all you want to do is lock your car and run inside, which is preferable? One click or two? Two clicks would also involve listening to make sure you hear the deadlocks. One click does it all for you and if you see the indicators flash, you know everything is done and safe.
And as for why you would want to disable the deadlocks, as somebody asked earlier, mainly because you have children or animals in the car and you need to leave them for a second. You don't want the alarm going off and deafening them and, should there be a problem, you don't want to trap them in a car that can't be opened in any way from the outside
