Apart from this, important electronic components can be damaged or the
functioning impaired. If for example the speed signal is disturbed this can
lead to faulty management of engine, automatic gearbox, ABS etc.
Even connecting the speed signal to radio sets with speed dependent
volume control from other manufacturers can cause such faults.
• Therefore, it is recommended that the Technical Service install
the radio. They are fully informed about the technical features of
the vehicle, have the Genuine radios
1), the necessary fitting parts
from the Genuine SEAT Accessory Programme1)and work in
accordance with the guidelines developed by the factory.
• The radios from the Genuine SEAT Accessory Programme
1)are
similar to those used in the factory and ensure trouble-free
installation. These sets are in keeping with the advanced
technology and well-planned easy-to-operate design. In Germany
there is also an Exchange Service for these radios so that even
after years of use a set requiring repair can be exchanged cheaply
for a completely reconditioned, good-as-new set by a SEAT dealer.
• Loudspeakers, fitting parts, aerials and suppression kits should
also be taken from the Genuine SEAT Accessory Programme
1).
These parts have all been specially developed for each vehicle
model.

Mobile phones and radio – telephones should be installed by a
specialised workshop.
SEAT has authorised the use of mobile telephones and two-way
radios for your vehicle with correctly installed external aerial and
maximum broadcast power of 10 Watts.
C Ca
au
ut
ti
io
on
n
When using mobile telephones or two-way, faults in the vehicle electrics
could occur under the following conditions:
– no external aerial
– external aerial incorrectly installed
– broadcast power higher than 10 Watts.
Mobile telephones or two-way radios must not, therefore, be operated
inside the vehicle without a separate external aerial or with an aerial which
has been incorrectly installed.
Furthermore, optimal range is only achieved with an external aerial.

Please take the time to review the instruction manuals provided with mobile
telephones and two-way radios!
If you wish to use mobile phones or radio telephones with a
transmission power of over 10 W, you must necessarily check with
your Technical Service Centre. They will inform you about the
technical possibilities for additional mobile and radio phone
equipment.

can be connected to the battery of another vehicle to start the
engine. The following points should be noted:
• Both batteries must be of the 12 Volt variety and the capacity
(Ah) of the booster battery must be approximately the same as that
of the flat battery.• The jumper cables must be heavy enough to carry the load. Note
cable manufacturer’s data.
• Only use jumper cables with insulated clips.
• There must be no contact between the vehicles, otherwise
current can flow as soon as the plus terminals are connected.
• The flat battery must be properly connected to the electrical
system.
• The engine of the boosting vehicle must be running.
• Ensure that the insulated clips have enough contact to metal.
This is particularly applicable to clips which are attached to the
engine block.

batteryA.
2. Other end of the red cable to the (+ +) terminal of boosting batteryB.
3. One end of (–

4. Other end of black cable Xto a solid metal part bolted to the
block or to cylinder block itself.
Do not connect the cable to the flat battery minus terminal. The
sparks could ignite the explosive gas flowing out of the battery.
• Start the engine as described in the “Starting engine” section.
• If the engine does not start at once, stop using starter after 10
seconds, wait about half a minute and then try again.

It is not recommended to tow start a vehicle. We recommend the use of
another vehicle’s battery. Check the "Start up help" chapter.
There are various reasons why a vehicle should n no

, the following
points must be noted in addition to the details on the previous
page:
• Selector lever at “N N
”.
• Do not have the vehicle towed faster than 30 mph (50 km/h).
• Do not tow further than 30 miles (50 kilometres).
If the vehicle has to be towed long distances it must be lifted at the
front.
Reason: When the engine is not running, the gearbox oil pump is
not working and the gearbox is not adequately lubricated for high
speeds or long distances.
• With a breakdown vehicle the vehicle may only be suspended at
the front.
Reason: If given a rear suspended tow, the drive shafts turn
backwards. The planetary gears in the automatic gearbox then turn
at such high speeds that the gearbox will be severely damaged in
a short time.

etc.

Fuel Consumption
The consumption and emission levels were calculated using the
93/116/CE measuring standards and take into account the true
free-standing weight of the vehicle (weight category). To measure
the fuel consumption the vehicle is tested in two different cycles

• The consumption and emission levels given in the following tables are
correct for unloaded vehicles with basic fittings. If there are extra
fittings, the empty weight will increase and, as a result, the weight
category, which may slightly increase the consumption and CO
2levels.
Consult a Technical Service Centre to find out the exact specifications of
your vehicle.
• Driving style, road and traffic conditions, weather conditionsand the
condition of the vehicle will, in practice, produce consumption levels
different to those indicated.
