TCS reduces engine power to help prevent the drive wheels of front-
wheel drive vehicles losing traction during acceleration. The system
works in the entire speed range in conjunction with ABS. If a
malfunction should occur in the ABS, the TCS will also be out of
action.
TCS helps the vehicle to start moving, accelerate and climb a
gradient in slippery conditions where this may otherwise be
difficult or even impossible.
The TCS is switched on automatically when the engine is started. If
necessary, it may be turned on or off by briefly pushing the button
on the centre console.
When the TCS is off, the warning lamp is lit.
The TCS should normally be left switched on at all times. Only in
exceptional circumstances, when slipping of the wheels is
required, should it be disconnected, for example:
– With compact temporary spare wheel.
– When using the snow chains
– When driving in deep snow or on loose surfaces
– When the vehicle is bogged-down, to free it by rocking it.
The TCS should be switched on again afterwards as soon as
possible.N No

e• In order to ensure that TCS function correctly, all four wheels must be
fitted with the same tyres. Any differences in the rolling radiusof the tyres
can cause the system to reduce engine power when this is not desired.
• Modifications to the vehicle (e.g. to the engine, the brake system, running
gear or any components affecting the wheels and tyres) could affect the
efficiency of the ABS and TCS.

ESP reduces the danger of skidding by braking the wheels
individually.
The system uses the steering wheel angle and road speed to
calculate the changes of direction desired by the driver, and

constantly compares them with the actual behaviour of the vehicle.
If the desired course is not being maintained (for instance, if the
car is starting to skid), then the ESP compensates automatically by
braking the appropriate wheel.
The forces acting on the braked wheel bring the vehicle back to a
stable condition. If the vehicle tends to oversteer, the system will
act on the front wheel on the outside of the turn.

•In order to ensure that ESP functions correctly, all four wheels must be

K
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
The anti-lock brake system prevents the wheels locking during
braking
⇒chapter “Anti-lock brake system and traction control
ABS”.
K
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
The electronic differential lock helps prevent the loss of traction
caused if one of the driven wheels starts spinning.
EDL helps the vehicle to start moving, accelerate and climb a
gradient in slippery conditions where this may otherwise be
difficult or even impossible.
It uses the ABS sensors to monitor the speed of the driven wheels.
In case of an EDL fault the warning light for ABS lights up
⇒
chapter “Warning lamps”.
At speeds of up to approximately 80 km/h, it is able to balance out
differences in the speed of the driven wheels of approximately 100
rpm caused by a slippery road surface on one side of the vehicle. It
does this by braking the wheel which has lost traction and
distributing more driving force to the other driven wheel via the
differential.
To prevent the disc brake of the braked wheel from overheating,
the EDL cuts out automatically if subjected to excessive loads. The
vehicle will continue to function normally without EDL. For this
reason, the driver is not informed that the EDL has been switched
off.
The EDL will switch on again automatically when the brake has
cooled down.

138Your vehicle and the environment
Suggestion 3. Avoid driving at maximum speed
Try not to drive at maximum speed. The increase of fuel
consumption, exhaust pollution and noise is disproportionate at
high speeds.
The illustration shows the relation between consumption (l/100
km) and speed (km/h)
⇒fig. 101.
If only about 3 quarters of top speed is utilized, the fuel
consumption will be reduced by about half.
Suggestion 4. Decrease idling
It is worth switching off1)the engine in traffic jams, at railroad
crossings and at traffic lights with a long red light. The savings in
fuel after 30-40 seconds with the engine switched off is higher
than the fuel used to switch the engine on again.
K
Suggestion 5. Periodic revisions
Your fuel savings are guaranteed even before going on a trip with
periodic revisions by your Technical Service Centre. Proper engine
maintenance is not only a safety and maintenance issue but also a
fuel consumption issue.
Poor fine tuning of the engine may increase fuel consumption by
up to 10%.
Check the oil level every time you fill up. The oil consumption
depends largely on the engine load. Depending on the driving
style, the oil consumption can be up to 1.0 l/1000 km.
Another suggestion: You can also lower oil consumption by using
synthetic oils.

172Servicing and replacing
Spark plugs
The spark plugs are renewed during the SEAT Inspection Service.
If the spark plugs have to be renewed between the Inspection
Services, the following should be noted:
• The spark plugs and ignition system have been matched to the
engine and as such contribute to reducing the levels of exhaust
pollutants. To avoid faulty operation, engine damage and even the
withdrawal of permission to circulate due to excessive emissions
values or non-suppressed spark plugs, only use the Genuine spark
plugs for the respective engine in question. It is particularlyimportant to examine the number of electrodes, the heat value and
if necessary, the anti-parasitic.
• For technical reasons, plugs may be modified at short notice. K

– The jack should be placed at some 17 cm in front and
approximately 21 cm away at the rear from the corresponding
wheel track
⇒fig. 138.
• Place the jack under the vehicle:
The fig. 139shows the jack fitted on the rear left hand side.

•In vehicles fitted with a plastic cover*, remove the cover to access the
attachment points of the vehicle. For this proceed as follows:
Pull on the cover and remove from its housing.
Once the cover is removed, it will remain suspended by a rubber to avoid its
loss.
– Wind jack arm up by turning the crank in the spindle until the
jack just goes under the vehicle.
– The claw of the jack must fit round the vertical rib on the side
member so that the jack cannot slip when vehicle is lifted
⇒fig. 139.
– Align jack and at same time wind claw up further until it contacts
the vertical rib on side member.
• Lift vehicle until the wheel is just clear of the ground.

•The defective wheel should be repaired as soon as possible.
Notes for tyres where the direction of rotation is stipulated
It is imperative that the designated direction of rotation for the tyre
treads (which can be determined from the arrow on the side of the
tyre) be kept to. The best tyre performance i.e. in aquaplaning,
road adhesion, noise and wear are then guaranteed.
If a spare wheel has to be fitted against the stipulated direction of
rotation, this measure should only be a temporary one. The best
possible tyre performance concerning aquaplaning, noise level and
wear are no longer fully guaranteed.
We recommend that you take this into account, especially in wet
weather, and adjust your speed to the driving conditions.
In order to use the principle of the direction of rotation fully again,
the faulty tyre must be replaced as soon as possible.
If necessary, mount the tyre fitted against the direction of rotation
in the stipulated direction.

1)The "S" signal is a system which incorporates steering wheel lock and ignition. Once
the ignition is switched off and without removing the key from the ignition this function
allows you to switch on some of the electrical equipment such as the car radio, the
courtesy light, etc. This function is deactivated once the key is removed from the
ignition.

Automatic fuse
All electric windows are protected together via an automatic fuse
which breaks the circuit when overloaded (e.g. windows frozen)
and completes the circuit again after a few seconds.

General notes
Before replacing a bulb you must first switch off the corresponding
consumer.Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with bare fingers since the
finger prints left on the glass or the sweat could evaporate when
the bulb becomes hot and cause a drastic decrease in life span
and/or properties. You can avoid this problem by wearing gloves
when changing a bulb.
A bulb must be replaced by a bulb with the same properties. The
designation is marked on the base of the bulb or on the glass.
We recommend you always carry a box of spare bulbs in the
vehicle. At the very least, carry the following bulbs since they are
essential for driving safety:
