Seat belts
Wh y
wear a seat belt?
Number of seats Your vehicle has
five
seats, two in the front
and three in the rear. Each seat is equipped
with a three-point seat belt.
In some versions, your vehicle is approved
only for four seats. Two front seats and two
rear seats. WARNING
● Nev er tr
ansport more than the permitted
amount of people in your vehicle.
● Every vehicle occupant must properly fas-
ten and w
ear the seat belt belonging to his or
her seat. Children must be protected with an
appropriate child restraint system. Seat belt lamp*
Fig. 86
Instrument panel: right rear seat oc-
c upied and c
orresponding seat belt fastened
display. The control lamp illuminates to remind the
driv
er t
o fasten his seat belt.
Before starting the vehicle: – Fasten your seat belt securely.
– Instruct your passengers to fasten their
seat
belts properly before driving off.
– Protect children by using a child seat ac-
cor
ding to the child's height and weight.
When the ignition is switched on, the control
lamp in the instrument panel lights up (de-
pending on the model version) if the driver or
passenger have not fastened their seat belts.
An audible warning signal will sound for a
few seconds if the seat belts are not fastened
as the vehicle drives off and reaches a speed of more than approximately 25 km/h
(15 mph) or if the se
at belts are unfastened
while the vehicle is in motion. The warning
light will also flash .
The lamp goes out when the driver and
passenger seat belts are fastened with the ig-
nition switched on.
Rear seat belts fastened display.*
Depending on the model version, when the
ignition is switched on, the seat belt status
display ››› Fig. 86 on the instrument panel in-
forms the driver whether the passengers in
the rear seats have fastened their seat belts.
The symbol indicates that the passenger in
this seat has fastened “his or her” seat belt.
When a seat belt in the rear seats is fastened
or unfastened, the seat belt status is dis-
played for approximately 30 seconds. The in-
dication can be hidden by pressing the 0.0/SET button on the dash panel.
The se at
belt status flashes for a maximum of
30 seconds when a seat belt in the rear seats
is unfastened while the vehicle is in motion.
An audible warning will also be heard if the
vehicle is travelling at over 25 km/h
(15 mph).

Safety
●
The s lot
in the seat belt buckle must not be
blocked with paper or other objects, as this
can prevent the latch plate from engaging se-
curely.
● Never use seat belt clips, fastening rings or
simi
lar items to alter the position of the belt
webbing.
● Frayed or torn seat belts or damage to the
connection
s, belt retractors or parts of the
buckle could cause severe injuries in the
event of an accident. Therefore, you must
check the condition of all seat belts at regular
intervals.
● Seat belts which have been worn in an acci-
dent and s
tretched must be replaced by a
specialised workshop. Renewal may be nec-
essary even if there is no apparent damage.
The belt anchorage should also be checked.
● Do not attempt to repair a damaged seat
belt
yourself. The seat belts must not be re-
moved or modified in any way.
● The belts must be kept clean, otherwise the
retr
actors may not work properly. Head-on collisions and the laws of
ph
y
sics Fig. 88
A driver not wearing a seat belt is
thr o
wn forward violently Fig. 89
The unbelted passenger in the rear
se at
is thrown forward violently, hitting the
driver who is wearing a seat belt. It is easy to explain how the laws of physics
w
ork
in the case of a head-on collision: when
a vehicle starts moving, a type of energy called “kinetic energy” is created both in the
pa
ssengers and inside the vehicle.
The amount of “kinetic energy” depends on
the speed of the vehicle and the weight of
the vehicle and its passengers. The higher
they are, the more energy there is to be “ab-
sorbed” in the event of an accident.
The most significant factor, however, is the
speed of the vehicle. If the speed doubles
from 25 km/h (15 mph) to 50 km/h
(30 mph), for example, the corresponding ki-
netic energy is multiplied by four.
Given that the passengers of the vehicle in
our example do not have their seat belts fas-
tened, in the event of a collision the entire
amount of the passengers' kinetic energy will
be only absorbed by the mentioned impact.
Even at speeds of 30 km/h (19 mph) to
50 km/h (30 mph), the forces acting on bod-
ies in a collision can easily exceed one tonne
(1000 kg). At greater speed these forces are
even higher.
Vehicle occupants not wearing seat belts are
not “attached” to the vehicle. In a head-on
collision, they will move forward at the same
speed their vehicle was travelling just before
the impact. This example applies not only to
head-on collisions, but to all accidents and
collisions.
Even at low speeds the forces acting on the
body in a collision are so great that it is not

travel on the rear seat. Never transport
c
hi
ldren in the vehicle if they are not restrain-
ed or the restraint system is not appropriate
for their age, size or weight.
● If you are not wearing a seat belt, or if you
le
an forward or to the side while travelling or
assume an incorrect sitting position, there is
a substantially increased risk of injury. This
increased risk of injury will be further in-
creased if you are struck by an inflating air-
bag.
● To reduce the risk of injury from an inflating
airbag, a
lways wear the seat belt properly
››› page 68.
● Always adjust the front seats properly. Description of the airbag system
Read the additional information carefully
› ›
› page 15.
The airbag system is not a substitute for the
seat belts. The airbag system offers addition-
al protection for the driver and passenger in
combination with the seat belts.
The airbag system comprises the following
modules (as per vehicle equipment):
● Electronic control unit
● Front airbags for driver and passenger
● Knee airbag for the driver
● Side airbags ●
Hea
d airbag
● Airbag control lamp on the ins
trument
panel
● Key-operated switch for front passenger air-
bag
● C
ontrol lamp to disconnect/connect the
front
airbag.
The airbag system operation is monitored
electronically. The airbag control lamp will il-
luminate for a few seconds every time the ig-
nition is switched on (self-diagnosis).
There is a fault in the system if the control
lamp :
● does not light up when the ignition is
swit
ched on,
● turns off after 4 seconds after the ignition
is
switched on
● turns off and then lights up again after the
ignition is
switched on
● illuminates or flashes while the vehicle is
mov
ing.
The airbag system is not triggered if:
● the ignition is switched off
● there is a minor frontal collision
● there is a minor side collision
● there is a rear-end collision
● the vehicle turns over. WARNING
● The se at
belts and airbags can only provide
maximum protection if the occupants are
seated correctly ››› page 63, Correct position
for passengers.
● If a fault has occurred in the airbag system,
hav
e the system checked immediately by a
specialised workshop. Otherwise there is a
danger that during a collision, the system
may fail to trigger, or not trigger correctly. Airbag activation
The airbags deploy extremely rapidly, within
thou
s
andths of a second, to provide addi-
tional protection in the event of an accident.
A fine dust may develop when the airbag de-
ploys. This is normal and it is not an indica-
tion of fire in the vehicle.
The airbag system is only ready to function
when the ignition is on.
In special accidents instances, several air-
bags may activate at the same time.
In the event of minor head-on and side colli-
sions, rear-end collisions, overturning or roll-
over of the vehicle, airbags do not activate.
Activation factors
The conditions that lead to the airbag system
activating in each situation cannot be gener-
alised. Some factors play an important role,

● The driv er of
the vehicle is responsible for
disabling or switching on the airbag.
● Always switch off the ignition before disa-

so could result in a fault in the airbag deacti-
vation system.
● Never leave the key in the airbag disabling

ch as it could get damaged or enable or
disable the airbag during driving.
● If the (airbag di
sabled) control lamp
flashes, the front passenger front airbag will
not trigger in the event of an accident! Have
the system immediately checked by an Offi-
cial Service. Transporting children safely
Saf ety
for children
Introduction For safety reasons, as we have learned from
ac
c
ident statistics, we recommend that chil-
dren under 12 years of age travel in the rear
seats. Depending on their age, height and
weight, children travelling in rear seats must
use a child seat or a seat belt. For safety rea-
sons, the child seat should be installed in the
rear seat, behind the front passenger seat or
in the centre back seat.
The physical laws involved and the forces
acting in a collision apply also to children
››› page 70. But unlike adults, children do not
have fully developed muscle and bone struc-
tures. This means that children are subject to
a greater risk of injury.
To reduce the risk of injuries, children must
always use special child restraint systems
when travelling in the vehicle.
We recommend the use of child safety prod-
ucts from the SEAT Original Accessories Pro-
gramme, which includes systems for all ages
made by “Peke” (not for all countries) (see
www.seat.com). These systems have been especially de-
s
igned and ap
proved, complying with the
ECE-R44. regulation.
SEAT recommends securing the child seats
shown on the website as described below:
● Child seats in the opposite direction of
trav
el (group 0+): ISOFIX and support bracket
(Peke G0 Plus + ISOFIX Base (RWF)).
● Child seats in the direction of travel (group
1): ISOFIX and
Top Tether (Peke G1 ISOFIX
DUO Plus).
● Child seats in the direction of travel (group
2): seat
belt and ISOFIX (Peke G3 KIDFIX).
● Child seats in the direction of travel (group
3): with se
at belt (Peke G3 KIDFIX).
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and
observe any statutory requirements when in-
stalling and using child seats. Always read
and note ››› page 79.
We recommend you always carry the manu-
facturer's Child Seat Instruction Manual to-
gether with the on-board documentation.

Transporting children safely
WARNING
When travelling, children must be secured in
the v
ehicle with a restraint system suitable
for age, weight and size.
● Read and always observe information and
warnin
gs concerning the use of child seats
››› page 79. WARNING
The retaining rings are designed only for use
w ith “ISOFIX” and T
op Tether* system child
seats.
● Never secure other child seats that do not
hav
e the “ISOFIX” or Top Tether* system, or
retaining belts or objects to the fastening
rings - this can result in potentially fatal inju-
ries to the child.
● Ensure that the child seat is secured cor-
rectly
using the “ISOFIX” and Top Tether* se-
curing rings. WARNING
An undue installation of the safety seat will
inc r
ease the risk of injury in the event of a
crash.
● Never tie the retainer strap to a hook in the
lugg
age compartment.
● Never secure or tie luggage or other items
to the lo
wer anchorages (ISOFIX) or the upper
ones (Top Tether). Categorisation of child seats into
gr
oup
s Use only child seats that are officially ap-
pr
o
ved and suitable for the child.
These seats are subject to the ECE-R 44 or
ECE-R 129 standard. ECE-R stands for: Eco-
nomic Commission for Europe Regulation.
The child seats are grouped into 5 catego-
ries:
Group 0: Up to 10 kg (up to around 9
months)
Group 0+: Up to 13 kg (up to around 18
months)
Group 1: from 9 to 18 kg (up to approx. 4
years old)
Group 2: from 15 to 25 kg (up to approx. 7
years old)
Group 3: From 22 to 36 kg (over around 7
years old)
Child seats that have been tested and ap-
proved under the ECE-R 44 or ECE-R 129
standard bear the test mark ECE-R 44 or ECE-
R 129 on the seat (the letter E in a circle with
the test number below it).
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and
observe any statutory requirements when in-
stalling and using child seats. We recommend you to always include the
m
anuf
acturer's Child Seat Instruction Manual
together with the on-board documentation.
SEAT recommends you use child seats from
the Original Accessories Catalogue . These
child seats have been designed and tested
for use in SEAT vehicles. You can find the
right child seat for your model and age group
at SEAT dealers.
Child seats by approval category
Child seats may have the approval category
of universal, semi-universal, vehicle specific
(all according to the ECE-R 44 standard) or i-
Size (according to the ECE-R 129 standard).
● Universal: Chil
d seats with universal appro-
val can be installed in all vehicles. There is
no need to consult any list of models. In the
case of universal approval for ISOFIX, the
child seat is additionally provided with a Top
Tether belt.
● Semi-universal: semi-univ
ersal approval, in
addition to the standard requirements of uni-
versal approval, requires safety devices to
lock the child seat, which require additional
testing. Child seats with semi-universal ap-
proval include a list of vehicle models for
which they can be installed.
● Vehicle-specific: v
ehicle-specific approval
requires a dynamic test of the child seat for
each vehicle model separately. Child seats
with vehicle-specific approval also include a »

Automatic protection against overheating
If the system is operated repeatedly in a
short space of time, it automatically switches
off to prevent overheating.
Once the system is cool again, the function
can be reused. Until then the rear lid can only
be opened and closed by hand using reason-
able force.
If with the rear lid open the vehicle battery is
disconnected ››› page 289 or the corre-
sponding fuse burns out ››› page 90, the sys- tem will have to be reset. This requires clos-
ing the r
ear lid completely once.
Emergency unlocking
››› page 11 WARNING
If a lot of snow builds up on the rear lid or it
i s
heavily loaded, the rear lid may not open
or, after opening, it may lower by itself due to
the extra weight and cause serious injury.
● Never open the rear lid when there is a lot
of s
now on it or when carrying a load (e.g. on
a rack).
● Before opening the rear lid, remove the
sno
w or the load. WARNING
If the rear lid is closed incorrectly or without
due c ar
e, it could result in serious injury.
● Never leave the vehicle unattended or allow
chi
ldren to play inside or next to it, especially
if the rear lid is open. Children could enter
the luggage compartment, close the rear lid
and become trapped. A locked vehicle can
reach extremely high and low temperatures,
depending on the time of year, thus causing
serious injuries, illness or even death. CAUTION
Before opening or closing the rear lid, make
s ur
e that there is enough space to open or close it, e.g. when pulling a trailer or in a ga-
r
ag
e. Tailgate automatic lock
Where the vehicle has been locked by press-
in
g the button on the remote control with
