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 »

list of vehicle models for which they can be

● i-Size: Child seats with i-Size approval must
meet
the requirements prescribed in the ECE-
R 129 standard in relation to installation and
safety. Child seat manufacturers can tell you
which seats have i-Size approval for this vehi-
cle.
Attachment systems Depending on the country, different attach-
ment
sy

stems are used for safely installing
child seats.
Attachment systems overview
● ISOFIX: ISOFIX i
s a standardised attach-
ment system allowing quick and safe attach-
ment of child seats in the vehicle. ISOFIX at-
tachment establishes a rigid connection be-
tween the child seat and the car body.
The child seat has two rigid attachment clips,
called connectors. These connectors are fit-
ted into the ISOFIX attachment rings found
between the seat cushion and the backrest of
the vehicle's back seat (on the sides). ISOFIX
attachment systems are used mainly in Eu-
rope ›››
 page 19. If necessary, ISOFIX at-
tachment may have to be supplemented with
a Top Tether belt or a support bracket. ●
Autom
atic three-point seat belt . Whenever
possible, it is preferable to attach the child
seats with the ISOFIX system rather than at-
taching them with an automatic three-point
seat belt ›››
 page 18.
Additional attachment:
● Top Tether : The Top Tether belt is guided
o

ver the back of the rear seat and attached to
an anchor point with a hook. Anchor points
are located at the back of the rear seat back-
rest on the boot side ›››
 page 22
. The
rings for retaining the Top Tether belt are
marked with an anchor symbol.
● Support bracket : Some c
hild seats rest on
the floor of the vehicle with a support brack-
et. The support bracket prevents the child
seat from tipping forward in the event of im-
pact. Child seats fitted with a support bracket
should only be used in the passenger seat
and side rear seats ››› . For the assembly of
thi s

type of seat you should also consult the
list of approved vehicles for this assembly,
available in the instructions for child restraint
systems.
Recommended systems for attaching child
seats
SEAT recommends attaching child seats as
follows: ●
Bab
y carriers or child seats in the opposite
direction of travel: ISOFIX and support brack-
et or iSize.
● Child seats in the direction of travel: ISO-
FIX and
Top Tether. WARNING
Incorrect use of the support bracket can
c au

se serious or fatal injury.
● Make sure the support bracket is correctly
and saf
ely installed.82

Lights and visibility
The light distribution of the halogen and full-
LED he a
dlights allows the specific “tourist
light” values to be met without the need for
stickers or changes in the settings. Note
“Tourist light” is only allowed temporarily. If
y ou ar

e planning a long stay in a country that
drives on the other side, you should take the
vehicle to an Authorised Technical Service to
change the headlights. Headlight range control, lighting of

adlight range control
The headlight range control ››› Fig. 136 is
modified according to the value of the head-
light beam and the vehicle load status. This
offers the driver optimum visibility and the
headlights do not dazzle oncoming drivers
››› .
The he a

dlights can only be adjusted when
the dipped beam is switched on.
To reset, turn switch ››› Fig. 136:

ment empty

a)
If the vehicle load does not correspond to those shown in the
table, it is possible to select intermediary positions.
Dynamic headlight range control
The control is not mounted in vehicles with
dynamic headlight range control. The head- light range is automatically adjusted accord-
ing t

o the vehicle load status when they are
switched on.
Instrument panel lighting
With the ignition on and without light activa-
tion, the instrument panel lighting remains
activated in daytime light conditions. The
lighting is reduced as the exterior light di-
minishes. In some cases, e.g. when driving
through a tunnel without the  function
active, the instrument panel lighting may
even switch off. The objective of this function
is to provide the driver with a visual indica-
tion that he or she should activate the dip-
ped beam. WARNING
Heavy objects in the vehicle may mean that
the he a

dlights dazzle and distract other driv-
ers. This could result in a serious accident.
● Adjust the light beam to the vehicle load
st

atus so that it does not blind other drivers. 137
