Securing child seatsWays to secure a child seat
A child seat can be secured differently on the rear seat and on
the front passenger seat.You can secure a child seat to the rear seat or front passenger seat in the
following ways:•Child seats in groups 0 to 3 can be secured with a seat belt.•Child seats in groups 0, 0+ and 1 with the ISOFIX and Top Tether* systems
can be secured without using the seatbelt, thanks to the ISOFIX and Top
Tether* securing rings ⇒ page 52.
U: Suitable for universal approved restraining systems for use in this age category (universal retention systems are those fitted using the adult
seat belt).
*: Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible, as high as possible and always deactivate the airbag.
L: Suitable for retention systems using the ISOFIX and Top Tether* anchors.
WARNING
•When travelling, children must be secured in the vehicle with a
restraint system suitable for age, weight and size.•Never install a child seat facing backwards on the front passenger seat
unless the front passenger airbag has been disabled. This could cause fatal
injuries to the child! However, if, in exceptional cases, it is necessary to
transport a child in the front passenger seat, the front passenger airbag
⇒ page 44, “Deactivating airbags*” must always be disabled and the seat
adjusted to its highest position, where possible.•Read and always observe information and warnings concerning the use
of child seats ⇒ page 47.

Child safety
52Child seats fastened with the “ISOFIX” and Top Tether* system
Child seats with the ISOFIX or Top Tether* system can be
secured quickly, easily and safely on the rear outer seats.When removing or fitting the child seat, please be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
– Move the seat as far to rear as it will go.
– Press the child seat onto the ISOFIX retaining rings until the child
seat can be heard to engage securely. If the child seat is
equipped with Toptether* anchor points, secure it to the corre-
spondent ring. Observe the manufacturer’s instructions.
– Pull on both sides of the child seat to ensure that it is secure.
Two ISOFIX retaining rings are fitted on each rear seat. In some vehicles, the
rings are secured to the seat frame and, in others, they are secured to the rear
floor. The access to the “ISOFIX” rings is between the rear seat backrest and
the seat cushioning. The Top Tether* anchors are located at the rear of the
backs seats (behind the seat or in the luggage compartment).
Child seats with the ISOFIX and Top Tether* attachment system are available
from the Authorised Service Centres.
WARNING
•The securing rings are designed only for use with ISOFIX and Top
Tether* child seats.•Never secure child seats that do not have the ISOFIX and Top Tether*
system, retaining belts or other objects to the securing rings – this could
result in potentially fatal injuries to the child!•Ensure that the child seat is secured correctly using the ISOFIX and Top
Tether* securing rings.

that there is a fault in the LPG system. Take the vehicle to a specialised work-
shop to check the LPG system.
WARNING
LPG is a highly explosive and inflammable substance. It may cause severe
burns and other injury.•Due care must be taken to avoid any risk of fire or explosion.•When parking the vehicle in a closed area (for example in a garage),
make sure that there is adequate ventilation, either natural or mechanical,
to neutralise the LPG in the event of a leak.Note
•The values shown in the average fuel consumption and distance to empty
indications on the multifunction display (MFI)
6) on the instrument panel
5) are
approximate values only.
•Two different consumption values are given on the MFI, depending on
whether the vehicle is running in GAS or Petrol mode.•Please check the fuel level on the fuel level gauge on the instrument panel
⇒ page 58•If frequent short journeys are made, especially when the outside temper-
ature is low, the vehicle will tend to run on petrol more often than on LPG.
Therefore, the petrol tank may empty before the LPG tank.

Indications for vehicles with LongLife service
Technical progress has made it possible to considerably reduce servicing
requirements. With the LongLife System, SEAT ensures that your vehicle only
has an interval service when it is necessary. The length of the service intervals
(max. two years) is determined by factors such as conditions under which the
vehicle is used and personal driving style.
The service pre-warning will first appear 20 days before the date on which the
service is due. The distance travelled is rounded off to the nearest 100 km
and the time to full days. The current service message can only be consulted
500 km after the last service. Until that time, only dashes are displayed.
Note
•If you reset the display manually, the next service interval will be indi-
cated after 15,000 km or one year and will not be calculated individually.•Do not reset the display between service intervals as the display will
otherwise be incorrect.•In LongLife Service vehicles, if the battery is disconnected for a long
period, the days remaining until the next service cannot be calculated. There-
fore, the service message displays on the instrument panel may be incorrect.
Take into account the maximum authorised service intervals.
Multifunction display (MFI)*
The multifunction display (MFI) shows you information on the
journey and fuel consumption.
