 page 60
The Anti-puncture kit* (Tyre Mobility System)
will reliably seal punctures caused by the
penetration of a foreign body of up to about
4 mm in diameter. Do not remove foreign ob-
jects, e.g. screws or nails, from the tyre.
After inserting the sealant residue in the tyre,
you must again check the tyre pressure about
10 minutes after starting the engine.
You should only use the tyre mobility set if
the vehicle is parked in a safe place, you are
familiar with the procedure and you have the
necessary tyre mobility set! Otherwise, you
should seek professional assistance.
Do not use the tyre sealant in the following
cases:
● If the wheel rim has been damaged.
● In outside temperatures below -20°C (-4°F).
● In the event of cuts or perforations in the
tyr e gr

eater than 4 mm.
● If you have been driving with very low pres-
sure or a c
ompletely flat tyre.
● If the sealant bottle has passed its use by
date. WARNING
Using the tyre mobility system can be dan-
ger ou

s, especially when filling the tyre at the
roadside. Please observe the following rules
to minimise the risk of injury:
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Park it
at a safe distance from surrounding
traffic to fill the tyre.
● Ensure the ground on which you park is flat
and solid.
● Al

l passengers and particularly children
must
keep a safe distance from the work area.
● Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn
other roa
d users.
● Use the tyre mobility system only if you are
famili
ar with the necessary procedures. Oth-
erwise, you should seek professional assis-
tance.
● The tyre mobility set is intended for tempo-
rary
emergency use only until you can reach
the nearest specialised workshop.
● Replace the repaired tyre with the tyre mo-
bility
set as soon as possible.
● The sealant is a health hazard and must be
cle
aned immediately if it comes into contact
with the skin.
● Always keep the tyre mobility set out of the
reac
h of small children.
● Never use a jack, even if it has been ap-
prov
ed for your vehicle.
● Always stop the engine, apply the hand-
brake l
ever firmly and engage gear if using a manual gearbox, in order to reduce the risk of
vehic
l

e involuntary movement. WARNING
A tyre filled with sealant does not have the
s ame per f

ormance properties as a conven-
tional tyre.
● Never drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).
● Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and
fas
t cornering.
● Drive for only 10 minutes at a maximum
speed of 80
km/h (50 mph) and then check
the tyre. For the sake of the environment
Dispose of used or expired sealant observing
any l

egal requirements. Note
● A new bottle of se

alant can be purchased at
SEAT dealerships.
● Take into account the separate instruction
manual
of the tyre mobility set* manufactur-
er. 94

suffer burns to the back, buttocks or legs
when using seat heating, an occurrence that
may entail a very lengthy recovery period or
from which it may not be possible to recover
fully. Seek medical advice if you have doubts
regarding your health.
● People with limited pain and temperature
thresho
lds must never use seat heating.
● If an abnormality in the device's tempera-
ture c
ontrol is detected, have it checked by a
specialist workshop. WARNING
If the fabric of the cushion is wet, this can ad-

Operation
WARNING
Do not place heavy or hard objects on the
re ar shelf
, because they will endanger the ve-
hicle occupants in case of sudden braking. CAUTION
● Bef or

e closing the rear lid, ensure that the
rear shelf is correctly fitted.
● An overloaded luggage compartment could
mean that
the rear shelf is not correctly seat-
ed and it may be bent or damaged.
● If the luggage compartment is overloaded,
remov
e the tray. Note
● Ens ur

e that, when placing items of clothing
on the luggage compartment cover, rear visi-
bility is not reduced. Fastening rings*

luggage and other objects ››› Fig. 165 (ar-
rows).
– Always use suitable and undamaged straps
to secur

e luggage and other objects to the
fastening rings ››› in Loading the lug-
g ag
e c

ompartment on page 152.
Example: An object weighing 4.5 kg is lying
unsecured in the vehicle. During a frontal col-
lision at a speed of 50 km/h (31 mph), this
object generates a force corresponding to 20
times its weight. That means that the effec-
tive weight of the object increases to approxi-
mately 90 kg. You can imagine the severity of
the injuries which might be sustained if this
“object” strikes an occupant as it flies
through the interior of the vehicle. This in- creased risk of injury will be further increased
if a loose o

bject is struck by an inflating air-
bag. WARNING
● If piec e

s of baggage or other objects are se-
cured to the fastening rings with inappropri-
ate or damaged retaining cords, injuries
could result in the event of braking manoeu-
vres or accidents.
● Never secure a child seat on the fastening
rings. 154

a
se it. If the key cannot be turned or it is
difficult to turn from position 1 to position
2 , move the steering wheel from one side to
the other; thi s
w

ill release it.
Starting 3The engine is started when the key is in this
po
s
ition. El

ectrical devices with high power
consumption are switched off temporarily at
the same time.
Each time that the vehicle is restarted, the ig-
nition key must be turned to position 1 . The
r epetitiv
e s

tart prevention lock of the igni-
tion prevents possible damage to the starter
motor if the engine is already running. WARNING
● The ignition key mu

st NOT be removed from
the lock until the vehicle comes to a stand-
still. Otherwise, the steering could be imme-
diately blocked- Risk of accident!
● Always remove the key from the ignition
when leav
ing the vehicle, even if only for a
short period. This is especially important if
children or disabled people are left alone in
the vehicle. They could accidentally start the
engine or work electrical equipment such as
the electric windows, resulting in an acci-
dent. ●
Uns uper

vised use of the key could start the
engine or any electrical system, such as the
electric windows. This could result in serious
injury. CAUTION
The starter motor will only work when the en-
gine i s s

topped (ignition key position 3 ).
Electronic immobiliser “SAFE”
The electronic immobiliser prevents unau-
thori
sed per
son

s from driving the vehicle.
Inside the key 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.
The engine can only be started using a genu-
ine SEAT key with its correct code.
If the following message* is shown on the in-
strument panel display: SAFE, the vehicle
cannot be started.
The engine can, however, be started if the
appropriate coded SEAT genuine key is used. Note
A perfect operation of the vehicle is ensured
if g enuine

SEAT keys are used. Starting petrol engines
The engine can only be started using a genu-
ine S

After starting a very hot engine, you may
need to slightly press down the accelerator.
When starting a cold engine, it may be a little
noisy for the first few seconds until oil pres-
sure has built up in the hydraulic valve com-
pensators. This is quite normal, and no cause
for concern.
If the engine does not start immediately,
switch the starter off after 10 seconds and try
again after half a minute. If the engine still
does not start, the fuel pump fuse should be
checked ›››

If no valid key is detected inside the vehicle
after the engine stops, you will only have 5
seconds to restart it. A warning will display
on the dash panel screen.
After this interval, it will not be possible to
start the engine without a valid key inside
the vehicle.
Automatic deactivation of the ignition on ve-
hicles with the Start-Stop system
The ignition is switched off automatically
when the vehicle is stopped and the auto-
matic engine shutdown is active, if:
● The driver's seat belt is not fastened,
● the driver does not step on any pedal, ●
the driver door is
opened.
After automatically turning off the ignition, if
the dipped beam  is on, the side light re-
mains on for approx. 30 minutes (if the bat-
tery is sufficiently charged). If the driver locks
the vehicle or manually turns off the light, the
side light goes out. WARNING
Any accidental movement of the vehicle could
re s

ult in serious injury.
● When switching on the ignition, do not
pre
ss the brake or clutch pedal, otherwise
the engine could start immediately. WARNING
If vehicle keys are used negligently or with-
out due c ar

e, this may cause accidents and
serious injury.
● Never leave any key inside the vehicle
when exitin
g. Otherwise, a child or unauthor-
ised person could lock the vehicle, start the
engine or connect the ignition and, in this
way, operate electronic equipment (e.g. the
windows). Note
● Bef or

e leaving the vehicle, always discon-
nect the ignition manually and, if appropri-
ate, take into account the instructions on the
screen of the dash panel. 172

Driver assistance systems
may compromise safety. The system is not a
rep
l
acement for driver awareness.
● Any accidental movement of the vehicle
coul
d result in serious injury.
● Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times t
o suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions.
● Certain surfaces of objects and garments
do not refl
ect the ultrasound sensors' sig-
nals. The system cannot detect, at least cor-
rectly, these objects or people wearing such
clothes.
● Ultrasound sensor signals may be affected
by e
xternal sound sources. In certain circum-
stances this may prevent them from detect-
ing people or objects.
● The ultrasound sensors have blind spots in
which ob
stacles and people are not regis-
tered.
● Monitor the area around the vehicle at all
times, sinc
e the ultrasound sensors do not
detect small children, animals or certain ob-
jects in all situations. WARNING
Quick turns of the steering wheel when park-
ing or e x

iting a parking space with Park As-
sist can cause serious injury.
● Do not hold the steering wheel during ma-
noeuvre
s to park or exit a parking space until
the system requests it. Doing so disables the
system during the manoeuvre, resulting in
the parking being cancelled. CAUTION
● In cer t

ain circumstances, the ultrasonic
sensors do not detect objects such as trailer
tongues, bars, fences, posts or thin trees, or
an open (or opening) rear lid, which could
damage the vehicle.
● Retrofitting of certain accessories to the ve-
hicle, s
uch as a bicycle rack, may interfere
with the operation of the Park Assist system
and cause damage.
● The Park Assist system uses as a reference
parked
vehicles, curbs and other objects.
Make sure that the tyres and wheels are not
damaged while parking. If necessary, oppor-
tunely interrupt the parking manoeuvre to
avoid damaging the vehicle.
● The ultrasound sensors on the bumper may
be damag
ed or shifted in the event of a colli-
sion, for example, when entering or exiting a
parking space.
● If you use high-pressure or vapour equip-
ment to c
lean the ultrasound sensors, do not
apply it directly unless very briefly and al-
ways from a distance of more than 10 cm.
● A registration plate or plate holder on the
front w
ith larger than the space for the regis-
tration plate, or a registration plate that is
curved or warped can cause:
–false detections,
– loss of sensor visibility.
– cancellation of the parking manoeuvre or
defective parking. ●
If one of the u

ltrasonic sensors is damaged,
the area corresponding to that group of sen-
sors (front or rear) is deactivated and cannot
be activated until the fault is corrected. How-
ever, you can still use the sensors of the oth-
er bumper as per usual. If there is a fault in
the system, consult a specialist workshop.
SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT dealership
for this. Note
● In or der t o guar

antee good system opera-
tion, keep the ultrasound sensors of the
bumper clean, free of snow or ice, and do not
cover them with adhesives or other objects.
● Certain sources of noise, such as rough as-
phalt
or paving stones and the noise of other
vehicles can induce the Park Assist system or
ParkPilot to give erroneous warnings.
● In order to become familiar with the system
and its f
unctions, SEAT recommends that you
practice operating the Park Assist system in
an area where there is not too much traffic or
in a car park. 229

Checking and refilling levels
We recommend the use of diesel
f uel which
complies to European standard EN 590. If
diesel fuel which meets European standard
EN 590 is not available, the Cetane number
(CZ) must, at minimum, be 51. If the engine
is equipped with a particulate filter, the sul-
phur content of the fuel must be below 50
parts per million.
Winter-grade diesel
Summer fuel becomes thicker in winter and it
is more difficult to start the engine. For this
reason, petrol stations in some countries al-
so offer winter diesel with improved fluidity
when cold (winter-grade diesel). CAUTION
● The v ehic

le is not designed for the use of
FAME fuel (biodiesel). The fuel system would
be damaged if you used biodiesel.
● Do not mix fuel additives, the so-called
“thinners”, petro
l or similar additives with
diesel fuel.
● If poor-quality diesel fuel is used, it may be
neces
sary to drain the fuel filter more fre-
quently than is specified in the Maintenance
Programme. We recommend having this done
by a specialised workshop. If water is allowed
to collect in the filter, this can cause engine
performance problems. Working in the engine compart-

In the course of time, brake fluid becomes
hygroscopic and absorbs water from the am-
bient air. If the water content in the brake flu-
id is too high, the brake system could cor-
rode. This also considerably reduces the boil-
ing point of the brake fluid. Heavy use of the brakes may then cause a vapour lock which
coul

d impair the braking effect.
Be sure to always use the correct brake fluid.
Only use brake fluid that expressly meets the
VW 501 14 standard.
You can buy VW 501 14 standard brake fluid
in a SEAT dealership or a SEAT Official Serv-
ice. If none is available, use only high-quality
brake fluid that meets DIN ISO 4925 CLASS 4
standards, or USA Standards FMVSS 116 DOT
4.
Using any other kind of brake fluid or one
that is not of a high quality may affect opera-
tion of the brake system and reduce its effec-
tiveness. Never use a brake fluid if the con-
tainer does not state that it complies with VW
