• Before going through the car wash, apart from the usual precautions
(closing windows and sliding roof).
You do not need to remove the Original roof aerial.
• If there are special fittings on the vehicle – e.g. spoilers, roof rack, two-
way radio aerial – it is best to speak to the car wash operator.

In the interests of environmental protection the vehicle should only be
washed in specially provided wash bays. In some districts, washing cars
elsewhere may even be forbidden.
First soften the dirt with plenty of water and rinse off as well as
possible. Then clean the car w wi

Paint
shampoo, preferably with a neutral pH, should only be used for
very persistent dirt. Rinse the sponge or glove out thoroughly at
short intervals.
Wheels and sill panels should be cleaned last, using a different
sponge if possible.
After cleaning the vehicle, rinse thoroughly with water and leather
it off.N No

e
•The vehicle should not be washed in strong sunshine.
•If the vehicle is rinsed with a hose, do not direct the jet of water
at the lock cylinders and the door/boot lid/tailgate shut lines –
they can freeze up in the winter.
K
Washing vehicle with high pressure cleaner
• The operating instructions for the high pressure cleaner must be
followed closely – particularly with regard to pressure and working
distance.
• Do not use a concentrated jet.
• The water temperature must not be above 60°C.
Conservation
Regular application of protection products protects the vehicle
paintwork to a large extent against the environmental influences
listed under “Washing” on the previous page and even against
light mechanical damage.
At the latest when water on the clean paint does not form small
drops and roll off, the vehicle should be protected by applying a
coat of good hard wax. Even when a wax solution is used regularly

When retro-fitting a radio, but also when replacing a set installed
by the factory the following points should be noted:
• The connection* in the vehicle is for Genuine SEAT radios
1).
• Radios with other connections must be connected with an
adapter cable which can also be obtained from Technical Service
Centres.

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

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.
