Safety FirstSafe drivingBrief introductionDear SEAT Driver
Safety first!This chapter contains important in formation, tips, suggestions and
warnings that you should read and consider for both your own safety
and for your passengers’ safety.
WARNING
•This manual contains important information about the operation of the
vehicle, both for the driver and the passengers. The other sections of the
owner’s manual also contain further information that you should be aware
of for your own safety and for the safety of your passengers.•Ensure that the on-board documentation is kept in the vehicle at all
times. This is especially important when lending or selling the vehicle to
another person.
Safety equipment
The safety equipment listed here are part of the vehicle’s
passenger restraint system. They work together to help
reduce the risk of injury in a wide variety of accident situa-
tions.Your safety and the safety of your passengers should not be left to chance. In
the event of an accident, the safety features incorporated in your vehicle are
capable of reducing the risk of injury. These are just a few of the safety
features in your SEAT:•Three-point seat belts optimised for all seats•Belt force limiters for the seats•Belt tension devices for the front seat belts•Front airbags•Side airbags in the front and rear seat backrests*•Head-protection airbags*•Knee airbag for left-hand drive only•ISOFIX anchor points* for ISOFIX child safety seats on the outer rear seats•Height-adjustable head restraints•Adjustable steering column
These individual safety features are harmonised to provide you and your
passengers with the best possible protection in case of an accident. However,
they can only be effective if you and your passengers sit in the correct posi-
tion and adjust and use the safety equipment properly.

Safe driving
8Therefore, this chapter explains why these safety features are so important,
how they can protect you, what you need to remember when using them and
how you and your passengers can gain the most benefit from them. There are
also a number of important safety warnings that you and your passengers
should always observe in order to minimise the risk of injury.
Safety is everyone’s responsibility!Before setting off
The driver is responsible for the safety of the passengers and
the safe operation of the vehicle at all times.For your own safety and the safety of your passengers, always note
the following points before setting off:
– Make sure that all lights and indicators are working properly.
– Check tyre pressure.
– Make sure that all windows are clean and give good visibility to
the outside.
– Secure all luggage and other items carefully ⇒page 16.
– Make sure that no objects can interfere with the pedals.
– Adjust the front seat, head restraint and mirrors correctly.
– Make sure that the head rest raints for all passengers are
adjusted to the correct position.
– Make sure that children are protected with suitable safety seats and properly worn seat belts ⇒page 46. – Sit in a correct position. Inform
your passengers as to how they
should sit ⇒page 10.
– Fasten your seat belt correctly. Make sure that your passengers
do the same ⇒page 18.
What affects safe driving?
Safety on the road is directly related to how you drive, and can
also be affected by the passengers in the vehicle.The driver is responsible for the safety of the vehicle and all its occu-
pants. If your ability to drive is impaired in any way, you endanger
yourself and other road users ⇒. Therefore:
– Do not let yourself be distracted by passengers or by using a mobile phone, etc.
– Never drive when your driving ability is impaired (by medication, alcohol, drugs, etc.).
– Obey all traffic regulations and speed limits and always maintain a safe distance to the vehicle in front.
– Always adjust your speed to suit the road, traffic and weather conditions.
– Take frequent breaks on long trips. Do not drive for more than two hours without a stop.
– If possible, avoid driving when you are tired or stressed.
