•Never place hot drinks in the drink holders. During normal or sudden
driving manoeuvres, sudden braking or an accident, the hot drink could be
spilled. Danger of scalding.•Never use rigid materials (for example, glass or ceramic), these could
cause injury in the case of an accident.•When travelling the drinks holder should always be closed to prevent
risk in the event of sudden breaking or accident.

Electrical power points* The 12 Volt cigarette lighter power point can also be used for other electrical
components with a power rating of up to 120 Watt. When the engine is
switched off, however, the vehicle battery will discharge. Further information
⇒page 168.
WARNING
The current power points and the connected accessories will only operate
when the ignition is on or when the engine is running. Improper use of the
sockets or electrical accessories can lead to serious injuries or cause a fire.
To avoid the risk of injury, never leave children alone inside the vehicle.
Note
•The use of electrical appliances with the engine switched off will cause a
battery discharge.
•Before using any electrical accessories, see the instructions on
⇒ page 168.Auxiliary audio input connection (AUX)*– Lift the AUX. cover ⇒fig. 83 .

WARNING
•Loose luggage and other loose items in the vehicle may cause serious
injuries.•Loose objects in the luggage compartment can suddenly move and
change the way the vehicle handles.•In case of sudden manoeuvres or accidents, loose objects in the
passenger compartment can be flung forward, injuring passengers.•Always put objects in the boot.•When you transport heavy objects, always take in account that a
change in the centre of gravity can also cause changes in vehicle handling.•Please observe information on safe driving ⇒page 7, “Safe driving”.Caution
Hard objects on the shelf could chafe against the wires of the heating
element in the rear window and cause damage.
Note
The ventilation slots in front of the rear side windows must not be covered as
this would prevent stale air being extracted from the vehicle.
Open stowage compartmentRemoving the cover
– Disengage the loops ⇒fig. 85 from the retaining pins
– Extract the cover from its slot, in its rest position and pull outwards.
WARNING
Do not place heavy or hard objects on the open stowage compartment,
because they will endanger the vehicle occupants in case of sudden
braking.
Caution
•Before closing the tailgate, ensure that the stowage compartment tray is
correctly fitted.

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 essential that you follow the assembly instructions included with the
bars exactly, being especially careful to position front and rear luggage
compartment cover bars on the special housings on the longitudinal bars.
You must also respect their position according to the direction of travel indi-
cated in the assembly 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.

Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioningHeatingControls–Using the controls ⇒fig. 86 and and with the switch
you can adjust the temperature, the air distribution and the
blower speed.
– Press the button to switch ai r recirculation mode on or off.
When the function is activated, a warning light on the button is
turned on.Te m p e r a t u r e
Switch adjusts temperature. The required temperature inside the vehicle
cannot be lower than the ambient temperature. Maximum heat output, which is needed to defrost the windows quickly, is only available when the engine
has reached its operating temperature.
Blower
The air flow can be set at four speeds with switch . The blower should
always be set at the lowest speed when driving slowly.
Air distribution
Control for setting the flow of air in the required direction.
 – Air distribution towards the windscreen in order to demist. For safety
reasons, the air recirculation should not be connected. – Air distribution to the upper body. – Air distribution to footwell – Air distribution to the windscreen and the footwell.
Air recirculation mode

Air recirculation mode on (a lamp lights up in red) prevents strong odours
from the outside air from entering in the vehicle, 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.
WARNING
•For your safety, the windows should never be fogged up or covered with
snow or ice. This is essential to ensure good visibility. Please familiarise
yourself with the correct operation of the heating and ventilation system,
including the demist/defrost functions for the windows.
