The seat heating should not be engaged in
any of the following conditions:
● The seat is unoccupied.
● The seat has a covering.

Air conditioning
WARNING
Reduced visibility through the windows in-
c r
eases the risk of serious accidents.
● Always ensure that all windows are free of
ice and s
now, and that they are not fogged,
so as to maintain good visibility of everything
outside.
● The maximum heat output required to de-
fro
st windows as quickly as possible is only
available when the engine has reached its
normal running temperature. Only drive when
you have good visibility.
● Always ensure that you use the heating
sys
tem, fresh air system, air conditioner and
the heated rear window to maintain good visi-
bility to the outside.
● Never leave the air recirculation on for a
long period of
time. If the cooling system is
switched off and air recirculation mode
switched on, the windows can mist over very
quickly, considerably limiting visibility.
● Switch air recirculation mode off when it is
not r
equired. WARNING
Stuffy or used air will increase fatigue and re-
duc e driv

er concentration possibly resulting
in a serious accident.
● Never leave the fresh air fan turned off or
use the air r
ecirculation for long periods of
time; the air in the vehicle interior will not be
refreshed. CAUTION
● To r

eplace the pollen filter, always visit a
service centre.
● Switch the air conditioner off if you think it
ma
y be broken. This will avoid additional
damage. Have the air conditioner checked by
a specialised workshop.
● Repairs to the air conditioner require spe-
ci

alist knowledge and special tools. SEAT rec-
ommends visiting a SEAT Official Service. Note
● When the c oo

ling system is turned off, air
coming from the outside will not be dried. To
prevent fogging of the windows, SEAT recom-
mends leaving the cooling system (compres-
sor) turned on. To do this, press the button  . The button lamp should light up.
● The maximum heat output required to de-
fr o

st windows as quickly as possible is only
available when the engine has reached its
normal running temperature.
● Keep the air intake slots in front of the
wind
screen free of snow, ice and leaves to en-
sure heating and cooling are not impaired,
and to prevent the windows from misting
over. Adjust using the Easy Connect sys-
t
em* 3 Ap
