Driving
Vehicles with the Start-Stop system
If the v ehicl
e has a factory-fitted towing
bracket or one that is retrofitted by SEAT, the
Start-Stop system operates as normal. No
special characteristics need to be taken into
account.
If the system does not recognise the trailer or
the trailer bracket has not been retrofitted by
SEAT, the Start-Stop system must be discon-
nected by pressing the corresponding button
in the lower part of the centre console before
driving with the trailer, and it should remain
off for the rest of the journey ››› .
V ehicl

es with driving profile selection
If you are going to be towing a trailer, the use
of the Eco driving profile is not recommen-
ded. You are advised to select another of the
available driving profiles before beginning to
drive with a trailer.
Trailer weight/drawbar load
Never exceed the authorised trailer weight. If
you do not load the trailer up to the maximum
permitted trailer weight, you can then climb
correspondingly steeper slopes.
The maximum trailer weights listed are only
applicable for altitudes up to 1000 m above
sea level. Since higher altitude decreases en-
gine performance and the ability to climb
slopes, the tow load decreases proportional-
ly. The weight of the vehicle and trailer com- bination must be reduced by 10% for every
1000 m of altitude

. When possible, operate
the trailer with the maximum authorised
drawbar load on the ball joint of the towing
bracket, but do not exceed the specified lim-
it. WARNING
Never use the trailer to transport people,
since it w oul

d put their life in danger and is
also prohibited. WARNING
Undue use of the towing bracket may
cause injury and accidents.

Driving
Retrofitting a towing bracket Description Fig. 178
Limits and attachment points for ret-
r ofitting a t
owing bracket. SEAT recommends that towing brackets be
r
etr

ofitted at a specialised workshop. For ex- ample, it may very well be necessary to ad-
just the cooling system or mount thermal pr

o-
tection plates. SEAT recommends visiting a
SEAT dealership for this.
If a towing bracket is retrofitted, the distance
specifications should always be kept in mind.
The distance between the centre of the ball
head and the road ››› Fig. 178
C must never
be l ess than that indicat

ed. This also applies
when the vehicle is fully loaded, including the
technically permissible maximum vertical
load on the coupling device.
Distance specifications ››› Fig. 178

If the cables are improperly or incorrectly
connect ed, this may l

ead to malfunctions
in the entire vehicle electronic system, as
well as to accidents and serious injuries.

Checking and refilling levels
WARNING
Natural gas is a highly explosive, easily
fl ammabl
e substance. Incorrect handling
of the natural gas can cause accidents se-
rious burns and other injuries.

Ethanol fuel  V
alid for: vehicles with Totalflex engines
Y ou can recognise vehicles with Totalflex en-
gines 1)
by label on the fuel tank lid with the
marking “Petrol/ethanol”.
Vehicles with Totalflex engine can run with
unleaded petrol (95 octane / 91 AKI) accord-
ing to ANP No. 57 and with fuels with any high
percentage of ethanol. The vehicle is refuel-
led in the same way as petrol refuelling.
Also consider that ››› page 258, Type of pet-
rol Note
SEAT recommends filling the tank exclu-
siv ely with petr

ol every 10,000 km to de-
crease impurities that using E100 ethanol
fuel might have left in the engine. Diesel
 V
alid f
or: vehicles with diesel engines
Please note the information on the inside of
the fuel tank flap.
We recommend you use Diesel according to
standard EN 590. The diesel can thicken at very low tempera-
t
ur

es, thus affecting the start or operation of
the engine. Ask your service station attendant
if their diesel is suitable for winter use.
Water in the fuel filter 2)
If your vehicle has a diesel engine and is
equipped with a fuel filter with a water sep-
arator, the instrument panel may display the
following warning:

Practical tips
comprehensive draining before applying a
diff er
ent quality gas.
Updated information relating to natural gas
quality is displayed on the instrument panel
››› page 74.
Regular checks of the natural gas system
The natural gas tanks may be damaged or
corroded by external factors. The walls of the
gas tanks are weakened by deformations,
damage or corrosion. The vehicle owner must
have a specialised workshop check (visual
check) the gas system at least once every
4 years. Natural gas tanks must be replaced
at a specialised workshop. WARNING
Failure to act when you can smell gas in the
v ehicl

e or when refuelling can cause seri-
ous injuries.

Oil is highly inflammable! Ensure that no oil

If the oil level is above area ››

do not st ar
t the engine. This could result in
damage to the engine and catalytic con-
verter. Contact a specialised workshop. For the sake of the environment
The oil level must never be above zone

A . Otherwise oil can be drawn in
thr ough the cr
ankcase breather and leak
into the atmosphere via the exhaust sys-
tem. Note
Before a long trip, we recommend finding
an engine oil that conf orms t

o the corre-
sponding VW specifications and recom-
mend keeping it in the vehicle. This way, the
correct engine oil will always be available
for a top-up if needed. Engine oil change
We recommend that you have the engine oil
changed by a T
echnical Service

. WARNING
Only change the engine oil yourself if you
hav e the specialist kno

wledge required!

Practical tips
increased, but only up to 60 %; otherwise an-
tifr ee
ze protection will diminish and this will
worsen cooling.
When the coolant is topped up, use a mixture
of distilled water and at least 40 % of the
additive G12evo for optimal protection
against corrosion. Mixing G12evo with G13
(TL-VW 774 J), G12 plus-plus (TL-VW 774 G),
G12 plus (TL-VW 774 F), G12 (red) or G11
(green blue) engine coolants decreases pro-
tection again corrosion and should be avoi-
ded. WARNING
If there is not enough anti-freeze in the
cool ant syst

em, the engine may fail lead-
ing to serious damage.
