 page 64
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. 98

 page 73.
Perfect windscreen wiper blade condition is
essential for clear vision. Damaged wiper
blades should be replaced immediately.
The windscreen wiper blades are supplied as
standard with a layer of graphite. This layer is
responsible for ensuring that the wipe is si-
lent. If the graphite layer is damaged, the
noise of the water as it is wiped across the
windscreen will be louder.
Check the condition of the wiper blades regu-
larly. If the wipers scrape across the glass ,
they should be changed if they are damaged,
or cleaned if they are dirty ››› .
If thi
s

does not produce the desired results,
the setting angle of the windscreen wiper
arms might be incorrect. They should be
checked by a specialised workshop and cor-
rected if necessary. WARNING
Do not drive unless you have good visibility
through a l

l windows! ●
Cle

an the windscreen wiper blades and all
windows regularly.
● The wiper blades should be changed once
or twice a
year. CAUTION
● Dam aged or dir

ty windscreen wipers could
scratch the glass.
● Never use fuel, nail varnish remover, paint
thinner or simil
ar products to clean the win-
dows. This could damage the windscreen
wiper blades.
● Never move any windscreen wiper by hand.
This c
ould cause damage.
● To prevent damage to the bonnet and the
winds
creen wiper arms, the latter should only
be lifted off the windscreen when in service
position. Note
● The wind s

creen wiper arms can be moved
to the service position only when the bonnet
is properly closed.
● You can also use the service position, for
examp
le, if you want to fix a cover over the
windscreen in the winter to keep it clear of
ice. Towing or tow-starting

 page 70.
Tow-starting means starting the engine of
the vehicle while another pulls it.
Towing means one vehicle pulling another
that is not roadworthy.
If the vehicle comes with the Keyless Access
system, towing is only allowed with the igni-
tion on!
The vehicle battery drains if the vehicle is
towed with the engine switched off and the
ignition connected. Depending on the battery
charge status, the drop in voltage may be so
large, even after just a few minutes, that no
electrical device in the vehicle may work e.g.
the hazard warning lights. In vehicles with
the Keyless Access system, the steering
wheel could lock up. WARNING
If the vehicle has no electrical power, the
brak e light

s, turn signals and all other lights
will no longer function. Do not have the vehi-
cle towed away. Failure to follow this instruc-
tion could result in an accident. 100

Self-help
WARNING
The risk of accidents is high when tow-start-
ing, f or e
xample, the towed vehicle can easily
be driven into the towing vehicle. CAUTION
If there is no oil in the gearbox or no lubricant
in the autom atic

transmission the car may
only be towed with the driven wheels lifted
clear of the road, or transported on a special
car transporter or trailer. CAUTION
Do not tow a vehicle for more than 50 m in at-
tempt t

o start it. There is risk of damage to
the catalytic converter. Note
● Ple a

se observe related legal requirements.
● Switch on the hazard warning lights of both
vehicl
es. However, observe any regulations
to the contrary.
● The tow rope must not be twisted. Other-
wise the fr
ont tow line anchorage could be
pulled off the vehicle. Indications for tow-starting
Vehicle's should not generally be tow-star-
t
ed.
The jump s

tart should be used instead
›››  page 71. For technical reasons, towing the following
vehicl

es is not allowed:
● Vehicles with an automatic gearbox.
● If the vehicle battery is discharged, be-
cause in
vehicles with the Keyless Access
locking and ignition system the steering re-
mains locked and the electronic parking
brake cannot be deactivated nor can the elec-
tronic lock of the steering column be re-
leased if they are activated.
● If the battery is flat, it is possible that the
engine contr
ol units may not operate correct-
ly.
However, if the vehicle must absolutely be
tow-started (in the case of manual gearbox-
es):
● Engage the 2nd or 3rd gear.
● Keep the clutch pressed down.
● Switch on the ignition and the hazard warn-
ing lights.
● Once both

vehicles are moving, release the
clutc
h.
● Once the engine starts, press the clutch
and diseng
age the gear to avoid colliding
with the towing vehicle. Note
The vehicle can only be tow-started if the
electr onic

parking brake and, if appropriate,
the electronic lock of the steering column are deactivated. If the vehicle has no power sup-
ply
or ther

e is an electric system fault, the
engine must be tow-started to deactivate the
electronic parking brake and the electronic
lock of the steering column. 101

Fuses and bulbs F u
se
s
Introduction In general, a fuse can be assigned to various
electric
al

components. Likewise, an electrical
component can be protected by several
fuses.
Only replace fuses when the cause of the
problem has been solved. If a newly inserted
fuse blows after a short time, you must have
the electrical system checked by a special-
ised workshop as soon as possible. WARNING
The high voltages in the electrical system can
give seriou s

electrical shocks, causing burns
and even death!
● Never touch the electrical wiring of the igni-
tion syst
em.
● Take care not to cause short circuits in the
electrica
l system. WARNING
Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses or
bridging a c urr

ent circuit without fuses can
cause a fire and serious injury. ●
Never u se a f

use with a higher value. Only
replace fuses with a fuse of the same amper-
age (same colour and markings) and size.
● Never repair a fuse.
● Never replace a fuse by a metal strip, staple
or simil
ar. CAUTION
● To pr ev

ent damage to the vehicle's electric
system, before replacing a fuse always turn
off the ignition, the lights and all electrical
elements and remove the key from the igni-
tion.
● If you replace a fuse with higher-rating
fuse,
you could cause damage to another part
of the electrical system.
● Protect the fuse boxes when open to pre-
vent the entr
y of dust or humidity as they can
damage the electrical system.
● Always carefully remove the fuse box cov-
ers and r
efit them correctly to avoid problems
with your vehicle. Note
● One component m

ay have more than one
fuse.
● Several components may run on a single
fuse.
● In the

vehicle, there are more fuses than
those indicat
ed in this chapter. These should
only be changed by a specialised workshop. ●
Po s

itions not containing a fuse do not ap-
pear in the following tables.
● Some of the equipment listed in the tables
below pert
ain only to certain versions of the
model or are optional extras.
● Please note that the above lists, while cor-
rect at
the time of printing, are subject to
change. Fuses to the left of the instrument

Changing bulbs requires a certain degree of
practical skill.
If you choose to change the engine compart-
ment lamps yourself, remember that it is a
dangerous area ››› in Safety notes for work
in the en gine c
omp

artment on page 273.
Always use identical bulbs with the same
designation. The name can be found on the
base of the bulb holder. Depending on how equipped the vehicle is,
there are diff

erent sets of headlights and tail
lights:
● Halogen headlights.
● Full-LED main headlights*
● Halogen headlights with LED daytime run-
ning lights*
● Re

ar bulb light
● LED rear light*
Ful
l-LED headlight system*
Full-LED headlights handle all light functions
(daylight, side light, turn signal, dipped
beam and route light) with light emitting di-
odes (LEDs) as a light source.
Full-LED headlights are designed to last the
lifetime of the vehicle and the bulbs cannot
be replaced. In case of headlight failure, go
to an authorised workshop to have it re-
placed. WARNING
● Tak e p

articular care when working on com-
ponents in the engine compartment if the en-
gine is warm, there is a risk of burns.
● Bulbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The
glas
s can break when you touch the bulb,
causing injury.
● When changing bulbs, please take care not
to injure
yourself on sharp parts in the head-
light housing. 106

Fuses and bulbs
CAUTION
● Remo v
e the ignition key before working on
the electric system. Otherwise, a short circuit
could occur.
● Switch off the lights or parking lights be-
fore
you change a bulb. For the sake of the environment
Please ask your specialist retailer how to dis-
pose of u

sed bulbs in the proper manner. Note
● Dependin g on w

eather conditions (cold or
wet), the front lights, the fog lights, the tail
lights and the turn signals may be temporari-
ly misted. This has no influence on the useful
life of the lighting system. By switching on
the lights, the area through which the beam
of light is projected will quickly be demisted.
However, the edges may continue to be mis-
ted.
● Please check at regular intervals that all
lighting (es
pecially the exterior lighting) on
your vehicle is functioning properly. This is
not only in the interest of your own safety,
but also that of all other road users.
● Before changing a bulb, make sure you
have the c
orrect new bulb.
● Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with
your bar
e hands, use a cloth or paper towel
instead. The residue left by the fingerprints
would vaporise as a result of the heat gener- ated by the bulb, they will be deposited on
the refl
ect

or and will impair its surface.
● Depending on the level of equipment fitted
in the vehic
le, LEDs may be used for part or
all of the interior and/or exterior lighting.
LEDs have an estimated life that exceeds that
of the vehicle. If an LED light fails, go to an
authorised workshop for its replacement. Change the front bulbs
