AUX-USB* Input connection For information concerning the use of this equipment, please see the Radio
handbook.First-aid kit, warning triangle, fire
extinguisher*First-aid kit, warning triangle and fire extinguisherThe use of reflective warning triangles is obligatory in emergencies in some
countries. As are the first aid kit and a set of spare light bulbs.
The first-aid kit and the fire extinguisher are located in the luggage compart-
ment, held in place by Velcro. The warning triangle may be located in the rear of the boot secured by rubber
bands.
Note
•The first aid kit, the warning triangles and the fire extinguisher are not
supplied with the vehicle as standard.•The first aid kit, the warning triangles and the fire extinguisher should
meet legal requirements.•The expiry date of the content of the first aid kit should be checked.•Ensure that the fire extinguisher is fully functional. The fire extinguisher
should, therefore, be checked regularly. The sticker on the fire extinguisher
will inform you of the next date for checking.•Before purchasing accessories and spare parts, see the instructions in
⇒ page 170, “Accessories, replacement of parts and modifications”.BootStowing luggage
All luggage must be securely stowed.Please observe the following points to ensure the vehicle handles
well at all times:
– Distribute the load as evenly as possible.
– Place heavy objects as far forward in the luggage compartment
as possible.

•An overloaded boot could mean that the rear stowage tray is not correctly
seated and it may be bent or damaged.•If the boot is overloaded, remove the tray.Note
•Ensure that, when placing items of clothing on the luggage compartment
cover, rear visibility is not reduced.Roof carrier*Please observe the following points if you intend to carry loads on the roof:•For safety reasons, only luggage racks and accessories approved by SEAT
should be used.•It is imperative to precisely follow the fitting instructions included for the
rack, taking special care when fitting the front bar in the holes designed for
this and the rear bar between the marks on the upper part of the rear door
frame while respecting the correct direction of travel indicated in the installa-
tion manual. Not following these instructions may damage the bodywork.•Pay special attention to the tightening torque of the attachment bolts and
check them following a short journey. If necessary, retighten the bolts and
check them at regular intervals.•Distribute the load evenly. A maximum load of 40 kg only is permitted for
each roof carrier system support bar, the load must be distributed evenly
along the entire length. However, the maximum load permitted for the entire
roof (including the support system) of 75 kg must not be exceeded nor should
the total weight of the vehicle be exceeded. See the chapter on “Technical
Data”.•When transporting heavy or large objects on the roof, any change in the
normal vehicle behaviour due to a change in the centre of gravity or an increased wind resistance must be taken into account. For this reason, a suit-
able speed and driving style must be used.
•For those vehicles fitted with a sunroof*, ensure that it does not interfere
with the load on the roof carrier system when opened.

•In air recirculation mode, no cold air from the outside enters the vehicle
interior. The windows can quickly fog over if the heating is switched off.
Therefore, never leave the air recirculation mode switched on for a long
time (risk of accident).Note
•Please consider the general notes ⇒ page 125.Vehicle ventilation or heatingVentilating the passenger compartment
– Turn the temperature selector ⇒fig. 88 anti-clockwise.
– Turn blower switch to any of the head settings 1-4. – Set the airflow to the desired
direction using air distribution
control .
– Open the relevant air outlets.
Interior heating
– Turn the temperature selector ⇒fig. 88 clockwise to select
the desired temperature.
– Turn blower switch to any of the head settings 1-4.
– Set the airflow to the desired direction using air distribution
control .
– Open the relevant air outlets.
Defrosting the windscreen
– Turn the temperature selector ⇒fig. 88 clockwise to reach
the maximum temperature.
– Turn the blower switch to setting 4.

– Turn the temperature control switch until the desired interior
temperature is reached.
– Turn the blower switch to any of the settings 1-4.
– Set the air distribution contro l to the air flow configuration
desired: (towards the windscreen), (towards the chest),
(towards the footwell) and (towards the windscreen and
footwell areas).Heating
Maximum heat output, which is needed to defrost the windows quickly, is
only available when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
Coolant system
When the air conditioning is switched on, the temperature and the air
humidity go down. This way, if the outside humidity is extreme, the air condi-
tioning prevents the misting of the windows and therefore, comfort is
improved.
If the air conditioning does not work, this may be due to the following
reasons:•The engine is stationary.•The fan blower is switched off.•The outside temperature is below +3°C.•The cooling system compressor has been temporarily switched off
because of an increased engine coolant temperature.•The air conditioning fuse is faulty.•Another fault in the vehicle. Have the air conditioning checked by a qual-
ified workshop.
Air recirculation
Air recirculation mode prevents fumes or unpleasant smells
from coming from the outside.When air recirculation mode is switched on (button ⇒ page 120, fig. 91
with warning lamp) strong odours in the outside air do not enter the vehicle
interior, for example when passing through a tunnel or in a traffic jam.
When the outside temperature is low, air recirculation mode improves
heating performance by heating air from the interior instead of cold air from
the outside.
When the outside temperature is high, air recirculation mode improves
cooling performance by cooling air from the interior instead of warm air from
outside.
For safety reasons, the air recirculation should not be switched on when the
air distribution control is being adjusted to the windscreen setting
.
WARNING
In air recirculation mode, no cold air from the outside enters the vehicle
interior. If the air conditioning system is switched off, the windows can
quickly mist over. Therefore, never leave the air recirculation mode
switched on for a long time (risk of accident).
Note
•When engaging reverse gear, the air recirculation is connected automati-
cally to prevent the entrance of exhaust fumes in the vehicle on travelling
backwards. The control light on the button does not light up.•If the temperature control is turned to the coldest setting (blue point) and
the switch is activated, the “Air recirculation” function is automatically
activated in order to cool the vehicle rapidly using less energy; its function
indicator will light.
