Emergencies
Start the engine of the vehicle with the
fl at batt
ery and w ait f
or 2 or 3 minut
es
until the engine is running.
Removing the jump leads Before you remove the jump leads,
switch off the dipped beam headlights if
they are switched on.
Turn on the heater blower and heated
rear window in the vehicle with the flat
battery. This helps minimise voltage
peaks which are generated when the
leads are disconnected.
When the engine is running, disconnect
the leads in reverse order to the details
given above.
Make sure the battery clamps have sufficient
metal-to-metal contact with the battery ter-
minals.
If the engine fails to start after about 10 sec-
onds, switch off the starter and try again after
about 1 minute. WARNING

Operation
12 volt power socket
The 12 v olt po
wer sock
et will only w
ork with
the ignition on.
Using electrical appliances with the engine
stopped and the ignition switched on will
drain the battery. Therefore, electrical devi-
ces connected to the power socket can only
be used when the engine is running.
To prevent voltage variations from causing
damage, switch off the electrical consumer
connected to the 12 volt power socket before
switching the ignition on or off and before
starting the engine.
12 volt power sockets can be found in the fol-
lowing locations in the vehicle:

Air conditioning
It should be switched off as soon as the glass

automatic temporary disconnection of this
function is possible, coming back on when
normal operating conditions are re-establish-
ed.
Auxiliary heating 

Start and driving
Note
After the engine is switched off the radiator
fan may run on for up to 10 minut es, e
ven if
the ignition is switched off. It is also possi-
ble that the fan turns itself on once more if
the coolant temperature increases due to
the heat accumulated in the engine com-
partment or due to its prolonged exposure
to solar radiation. Electronic immobilizer
The electronic immobiliser prevents unau-
thorised persons fr
om driving the v
ehicle
.
Inside the k

ey there is a chip that deactivates
the electronic immobiliser automatically
when the key is inserted into the ignition.
The electronic immobiliser will be activated
again automatically as soon as you pull the
key out of the ignition lock. For vehicles with
the “Keyless Access” system, the key has to
be outside the vehicle.
If the following message is shown on the in-
strument panel display: SAFE or Immobilis-
er active , it is not possible to start the vehi-
cle.
The engine can only be started using a genu-
ine SEAT key with its correct code. Note
A perfect operation of the vehicle is ensur-
ed if genuine SEAT keys are used. Emergency starting function
