Climate control142
General notes
• Ensure that the sensor on the air grille next to the display is not
covered up.
• To ensure that the Climatroniccan work properly, the air inlet in
front of the windscreen should be kept free of ice, snow and
leaves.
• The heat output depends on the coolant temperature – the full
heat output is therefore available when the engine is warm.
• Odours caused by a build-up of natural deposits in the vaporiser
can occur if the AUTO system has not been used for some time. The
cooling system should be turned on at fullblast at least once a
month – even during cold spells – to clear or to prevent the
odours.
• The stale air escapes through openings in the luggage
compartment side panels. Therefore when loading the luggage
compartment ensure that the openings are not covered.
• When the ambient temperature is high and the air very humid,
condensed water can drip off the evaporator and form a puddle
under the vehicle. This is quite normal and does not indicate a
leak.
• To prevent the windows from misting up the blower should be
running slowly when driving at low speeds. To do this select ECON
or AUTO.
K
Using Climatronic economically
In cooling operation the Climatronic compressor places demands
on the engine and therefore influences the fuel consumption. Tokeep the period switched on as short as possible, the following
points should be noted:
• If the inside temperature is very high after the car has been
parked in the sun, it is recommended to open doors or windows
briefly to enable the hot air to escape.
• The compressor should not be switched on during a journey if
the windows or sliding roof* are open.
• ECON mode should be selected if the desired interior
temperature can be attained without switching on the air
conditioner.
K
Operating faults
• If all the symbols in the display area flash for some 15 seconds
after switching the ignition on, there is a fault in the system.
Contact a Technical Service Centre.
• Should the cooling system not work at any time, either:
– the ambient temperature is below about +5 °C,
– the Climatronic compressor has switched off due to coolant
temperature being too high.
– or the fuses have blown.
Check the fuse and if necessary replace
⇒"Fuses" chapter. If the
trouble is not due to a defective fuse, have Climatronic checked.
• If the cooling output drops off, switch the Climatronic off and
have the system checked.

Do not warm engine up by running it with vehicle stationary. Drive off
straight away.
• Do not over-rev or use full throttle until the engine has reached
the normal operating temperature.

• When the warning lamp goes out, start the engine immediately.
Do not depress the accelerator while starting.
If the engine only fires irregularly, continue to operate the starter a
few seconds longer (30 seconds at maximum) until the engine
runs under its own power.

Safety FirstControls and equipment Tips and Maintenance Technical Data
The Alhambra’s alloy wheels have anti-theft wheel bolts. The
special adapter required for these bolts is contained in the vehicle
tool kit.
The procedure for changing a wheel is as follows:
• First press the adapter
2as far as possible into the star shaped
depression on the anti-theft wheel bolt1⇒ fig. 179.
• Push the wheel spanner (from the vehicle tools) as far as
possible onto the adapter
2and loosen/tighten the wheel bolt as
necessary

• We recommend always carrying the adaptor in the space provided for it in
the tool box⇒fig. 180
• Should you lose the adapter
⇒fig. 1792, SEAT Service can supply you
with a new one with reference to the code card (also in vehicle tools).

The individual current circuits are protected by fuses.
All electric windows are protected together via an automatic fuse
which breaks the circuit when overloaded (e.g. windows frozen)
and completes the circuit again after a few seconds.
It is advisable to always carry a few spare fuses on the vehicle.

216If and when
Changing a fuse
Please note the warnings from the "Engine compartment" chapter
and following ones, before undergoing any work on the engine or
engine compartment.
The fuses are located behind a cover in the instrument panel
⇒
fig. 45 andfig. 181.
In some models, there are additional fuses in the engine
compartment, for example on top of the battery.
• Switch off ignition and the component concerned.
• Take cover off
⇒fig. 181
• In the cover or in the fuse box you will find plastic pliers* to
remove the fuses.
• You will find the fuse layout on a label in the fuse box cover.• Remove the appropriate fuse.
• Replace blown fuse – can be recognised by the burnt metal strip
– with a fuse of same amperage.
• Replace the cover.
• If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time, the
electrical system must be checked by a Technical Service Centre as
soon as possible.

Fuse layout
You will find the fuse layout on a label in the fuse box cover.
