Safe driving
16Floor mats on the driver side
Only floor mats may be used which can be securely fastened
in the foot well and do not impair operation of the pedals.– Ensure that the floor mats are securely fastened during the trip
and do not obstruct the pedals ⇒.Only use floor mats which leave the pedals clear and which are secured to
prevent them from slipping. You can obta in suitable floor mats from a quali-
fied dealership.
WARNING
•
If the pedals are obstructed, an accident may occur. Risk of serious inju-
ries.
•
Ensure that the floor mats are always securely attached.
•
Never lay or fit floor mats or other floor coverings over the original floor
mats. This would reduce the pedal area and could obstruct the pedals. Risk
of accident.
Stowing luggageLoading the boot
All luggage and other loose object s must be safely secured in
the luggage compartment.Unsecured objects which shift back and forth could impair the
driving safety or driving characteristics of the vehicle by shifting the
centre of gravity. – Distribute the load evenly in the luggage compartment.
– Lay and stow heavy luggage as far forward as possible in the
luggage compartment.
– Stow heavy luggage as low as possible in the luggage compart- ment.
– Secure heavy objects to the fitted fastening rings ⇒page 17.
WARNING
•
Loose luggage and other objects in the boot could cause serious inju-
ries.
•
Always stow objects in the luggage compartment and secure them on
the fastening rings.
•
Use suitable specialist straps to secure heavy objects.
•
During sudden manoeuvres or accidents, loose objects can be thrown
forward, injuring vehicle occupants or passers-by. This increased risk of
injury will be further increased if a loose object is struck by an inflating
airbag. If this happens, objects can be transformed into “missiles”. Risk of
fatal injury.
•
Please note that the centre of gravity may shift when transporting
heavy objects; this may affect the ve hicle's handling and lead to an acci-
dent. Therefore, it is essential to adjust your speed and driving style
accordingly, to avoid accidents.
•
Never exceed the allowed axle loads or allowed maximum weight. If the
allowed axle load or the allowed total weight is exceeded, the driving char-
acteristics of the vehicle may change, leading to accidents, injuries and
damage to the vehicle.
•
Never leave your vehicle unattended, especially when the tailgate is
open. Children could climb into the luggage compartment closing the door

Seat belts
22•
Fasten your seat belt before every trip - even when driving in town. The
other passengers must also wear the seat belt, otherwise they may be
danger of injury!
•
The seat belt cannot offer its full prot ection if the belt web is not posi-
tioned correctly.
•
Never allow two passengers (even children) to share the same seat belt.
•
Keep both feet in the foot-well in front of your seat as long as the
vehicle is in motion.
•
Never unbuckle a seat belt while the vehicle is in motion. Risk of fatal
injury.
•
The belt webbing must never be twisted while it is being worn.
•
The belt webbing should never lie on hard or fragile objects (such as
glasses or pens, etc.) because this can cause injuries.
•
Do not allow the seat belt to be da maged or jammed, or to rub on any
sharp edges.
•
Never wear the seat belt under the arm or in any other incorrect posi-
tion.
•
Loose, bulky clothing (such as an overcoat over a jacket) impairs the
proper fit and function of the belts, reducing their capacity to protect.
•
The slot in the seat belt buckle must not be blocked with paper or other
objects, as this can prevent the latch plate from engaging securely.
•
Never use seat belt clips, retaining rings or similar instruments to alter
the position of the belt webbing.
•
Frayed or torn seat belts or damage to the connections, belt retractors
or parts of the buckle could cause severe injuries in the event of an acci-
dent. Therefore, you must check the co ndition of all seat belts at regular
intervals.
•
Seat belts which have been worn in an accident and stretched must be
replaced by a qualified workshop. Renewal may be necessary 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 removed or modified in any way.
•
The belts must be kept clean, ot herwise the retractors may not work
properly ⇒ page 205.
Seat beltsSeat belt adjustment
The seat belts for the front and rear occupants are locked into

positioned correctly.

ment panel. The message does not show the tyre affected. Should
any of these warnings be displayed:
– Stop the engine.
– Check the tyres. Although the warning corresponds to just one tyre, you should also check the others.
– Correct the tyre pressure ⇒page 228.
For more detailed information on the tyre pressure monitoring system, please
refer to ⇒page 227.Cruise control system*
The indicator lamp
on the instrument panel lights up when the cruise
control system is operating.
Trailer indicators*
This indicator lamp flashes when the indicators are operating
while towing a caravan or trailer.The indicator lamp
flashes when the indicators are operated if a trailer is
correctly coupled to the vehicle.
Where a turn signal lamp does not work, either on the trailer or on the towing
vehicle, the indicator lamp will not flash.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
The warning lamp monitors the ABS and the integrated elec-
tronic differential lock (EDL).The warning lamp
lights up for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on and while the engine is being started. The lamp goes out again
after the system has run through an automatic test sequence.
There is a fault in the ABS if:
•
the warning lamp does not light up when the ignition is switched on,
•
The warning lamp does not go out again after a few seconds.
•
The warning lamp lights up when the vehicle is moving.
The vehicle can still brake in the normal way (except that the ABS control func-
tion is out of action). Please take the vehicle to a specialist garage as soon as
possible. For further information on the ABS ⇒page 176.
If a malfunction should occur in the ABS, the ESP warning lamp will also light
up.

68Entire brake system fault
If the ABS warning lamp
lights up together with the brake warning lamp
⇒ page 70 (with the handbrake released), this indicates not only a fault
in the ABS function, but probably also a malfunction in the main brake system
as well ⇒ .
The symbol
will light up in the instrument panel if a fault occurs in the
brake system . Please refer to ⇒ page 77.
Electronic differential lock (EDL) fault
The EDL works in conjunction with the ABS. The ABS indicator lamp will light
up
to indicate an EDL fault. Please take the vehicle to a specialist garage
as soon as possible. For further information on the EDL ⇒page 177.WARNING
•
Before opening the bonnet and checki ng the brake fluid level, observe
the warning information in ⇒ page 213, “Work in the engine compart-
ment”.
•
If the brake warning lamp
should light up together with the ABS
warning lamp
, stop the vehicle immediately and check the brake fluid
level in the reservoir. If the fluid level has dropped below the "MIN" mark
you must not drive on otherwise ther e may be an increased accident risk.
Obtain technical assistance.
•
If the brake fluid level is correct, the fault in the brake system may have
been caused by a fault in the ABS control function. As a result, the rear
wheels can lock relatively easily when braking. Under certain circum-
stances, the rear of the vehicle could suddenly sway from side to side, with
the subsequent danger of skidding. Drive carefully to the nearest specialist
garage and have the fault rectified.
Seat belt warning lamp*
The warning lamp acts as a reminder to the driver to fasten
the seat belt.After switching on the ignition, the warning lamp
will remain lit until the
driver and front passenger (if applicable) have fastened their seat belts.
When the vehicle has reached a certain speed, you will also hear a warning
signal and the warning light will flash.
For further information on the seat belts, see ⇒page 22.
Indicators and hazard warning lights
Depending on which turn signal is operated, either the left
or right
indi-
cator lamp flashes. Both indicator lamp s will flash when the hazard warning
lights are switched on.
If one turn signal fails, the indicator lamp will start flashing twice as fast as
normal.
This does not apply when towing a trailer. Where a turn signal lamp does not
work, either on the trailer or on the towing vehicle, the indicator lamp will not
flash. For further informatio n on the indicators, see ⇒page 119.
Electronic stabilisation programme
This warning lamp monitors the electronic stabilisation
program (ESP).The warning lamp
has the following functions:

Yellow symbols are used to indicate a Priority 2 fault (warning).
Yellow symbols are accompanied by
one warning chime. The function indi-
cated should be checked as soon as possible. If several Priority 2 faults are
detected at the same time, the symbols are displayed one after the other for
about 2 seconds at a time.
Fuel level low
When this symbol
comes on for the first time, there are about 8 to 10 litres
of fuel left in the tank. You should fill up as soon as possible ⇒page 208.
Diesel particulate filter obstructed
If the symbol
lights up, you may be able to contribute towards automatic
filter cleaning by driving in the right manner. You should drive at a speed of
at least 60 km/h for about 15 minutes in 4th or 5th gear, at an engine speed
of around 2000 rpm. The increase in temperature will burn off any soot in the
filter. When cleaning is successful, the symbol switches off.
If the light on symbol
does not go off, take the vehicle to a specialist
garage to repair the fault.
For further information on the diesel particulate filter, see ⇒page 183.
WARNING
It is essential that you adjust your sp eed to suit the weather, road, terrain
and traffic conditions. The recommended driving speed must never lead to
the driver disregarding the traffic regulations.Light sensor/ rain sensor faulty
Automatic headlights / automatic wipers faulty
If the symbol appears, this means that the light sensor / rain sensor is not
working. For safety reasons, the dipp ed beam headlights will then be
switched on permanently when the light switch is set to the AUTO position.
However, you can still switch the lights on and off in the normal way with the

104Anti-theft alarm system*Description
The system triggers an alarm if anyone attempts to break into
the vehicle.The anti-theft alarm helps to prevent the vehicle being broken into or stolen.
If the system senses interference with the vehicle, it triggers an audible and
visible alarm.
How is the system enabled?
The anti-theft alarm system is enabled automatically when the vehicle is
locked with the remote control or by turning the key in the driver's door (if the
door is closed). The system is enabled about 30 seconds after the vehicle is
locked.
How is the system disabled?
The anti-theft alarm is only disabled when the vehicle is unlocked using the
remote control. The vehicle will lock again automatically if none of the doors
is opened within 60 seconds after pressing the remote control button.
If the vehicle is unlocked by turning the key in the driver's door, all the other
doors, the tailgate and the tank flap will remain locked.
If the vehicle has been unlocked with the key in the driver's door, the key must
be inserted in the ignition lock and the ignition switched on within 15
seconds of opening the door in order to disable the alarm. The alarm will be
triggered if the ignition is not switched on within 15 seconds.
When does the system trigger the alarm?
The following parts of the car are monitored when the vehicle is locked:•
Engine compartment (bonnet)
•
Boot
•
Doors
•
Tilt angle (tow-a way protection)
•
Ignition
•
Radio (only with a factory-fitted SEAT radio)
•
Interior ⇒page 105
If any of the named areas are entered, the alarm will be triggered.
How is the alarm disabled?
The alarm can be switched off by unlocking the vehicle using the remote
control, or by switching on the igniti on with the key, thus “disabling” the
alarm system. The alarm will also switch off when it comes to the end of its
cycle.
Indicators
The indicators flash briefly when the vehicle is locked to confirm that the
doors, the engine bonnet and the tailgate are properly closed and locked.
If the indicators do not flash, check the doors, the bonnet and the tailgate to
make sure they are properly closed. The indicators will also flash briefly if one
of the doors or the tailgate or engine bonnet are closed after the alarm system
has been enabled.
LED
When the vehicle is locked, the LED on the top of the driver's door trim will
flash rapidly for about 30 seconds and then continue flashing slowly. This is
to indicate that the anti-theft alarm system (including the interior monitor
and tow-away protection) is operative. If the LED lights up continuously for
about 30 seconds when the vehicle is locked instead of flashing, this means
the alarm system is not working properly.Note
•
To make sure that the alarm is fully operative when leaving the vehicle,
briefly check that all the doors and windows and the sun roof* are closed.

The alarm is triggered immediately if one of the battery cables is discon-
nected while the alarm system is enabled.
Interior monitoring*
The interior monitor triggers an alarm if it detects movement
inside the vehicle.You should disable the interior monitor if there is a possibility that
the alarm could be triggered, e.g. by a pet or by an object moving
about inside the car ⇒. The tow-away protection feature, which
is integrated into the alarm system, should be disabled if the car is
being towed or transported (e.g. by rail or ship).
Disabling the interior monitor
– Open the door and pull out th e switch (with the symbol
) on
the storage compartment side, in the driver's door ⇒fig. 77 . – Then lock the vehicle.
Disabling the tow-away protection
– Open the door and pull out th
e switch (with the symbol
)
on the storage compartment side, in the driver's door ⇒fig. 77 .
– Then lock the vehicle.
The LED on switch will light up when the interior monitor is disabled. The
LED on the top of the driver's door trim will also light up for about 3 seconds.
When the vehicle is locked, the LED on the top of the driver's door trim will
flash rapidly for about 3 seconds. The interior monitor is automatically
enabled again the next time the vehicle is locked.
The LED on switch will light up when the tow-away protection function is
disabled. The LED on the top of the driver 's door trim will also light up for
about 3 seconds. When the vehicle is locked, the LED on the top of the

tion is automatically enabled again the next time the vehicle is locked.
WARNING
Do not leave anyone (especially children) in the car if it is locked from the
outside and the anti-theft security system is enabled, as the doors and
windows cannot then be opened from the inside. Locked doors could delay
assistance in an emergency, potentially putting lives at risk.
