Safety
frontal collision the system might not trigger
correctly
or m
ay fail to trigger at all.Airbag activation
The airbags deploy extremely rapidly, within
thousandths
of

a second, to provide addi-
tional protection in the event of an accident.
A fine dust may develop when the airbag de-
ploys. This is normal and it is not an indica-
tion of fire in the vehicle.
The airbag system is only ready to function
when the ignition is on.
In special accidents instances, several air-
bags may activate at the same time.
In the event of minor head-on and side colli-
sions, rear-end collisions, overturning or roll-
over of the vehicle, airbags do not activate.
Activation factors
The conditions that lead to the airbag system
activating in each situation cannot be gener-
alised. Some factors play an important role,
such as the properties of the object the vehi-
cle hits (hard/soft), angle of impact, vehicle
speed, etc.
Deceleration trajectory is key for airbag acti-
vation. The control unit analyses the collision trajec-
tory
and activ

ates the respective restraint
system.
If the deceleration rate is below the prede-
fined reference value in the control unit the
airbags will not be triggered, even though
the accident may cause extensive damage to
the car.
The following airbags are triggered in seri-
ous head-on collisions
● Driver airbag.
● Front passenger front airbag
The follo
wing airbags are triggered in seri-
ous side-on collisions
● Front side airbag on the side of the acci-
dent.
● Rear s

ide airbag on the side of the acci-
dent.
● Curt

ain (head) airbag on the side of the ac-
cident.
In an acc

ident with airbag activation:
● the interior lights switch on (if the interior
light switc
h is in the courtesy light position);
● the hazard warning lights switch on;
● all doors are unlocked;
● the fuel supply to the engine is cut. Airbag control lamp and seat belt ten-
sioner  The control lamp monitors all airbags and
seat belt
t

ensioners in the vehicle, including
control units and wiring connections.
Monitoring of airbag and belt tensioner sys-
tem
Both the airbag and belt tensioner systems
operation is constantly monitored electroni-
cally. The control lamp  will light up for a
few seconds every time the ignition is switch-
ed on (self-diagnosis).
The system must be checked when the con-
trol lamp  :
● does not light up when the ignition is
switc hed on,
● t

urns off after 4 seconds after the ignition
is swit
ched on
● turns off and then lights up again after the
ignition is swit
ched on
● illuminates or flashes while the vehicle is
moving.
In the ev

ent of a malfunction, the warning
lamp remains on continuously. Have the air-
bag system inspected immediately by a spe-
cialised workshop.

Emergencies
●
Never st ar
t the engine when the vehicle is
on the jack. Risk of accident.
● If work is to be carried out underneath the
vehicle, thi
s must be secured by suitable
means. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury. Note
The jack does not generally require any main-
t enanc e. If

required, it should be greased us-
ing universal type grease. Spare wheel (temporary spare
wheel)*
The temporary spare wheel is stored under
the floor p
anel
in the lug g

age compartment
and is attached by a thumbnut.
How to use the temporary spare wheel
If you ever have a punctured tyre or loss of
pressure, the temporary spare wheel is only
intended for temporary use until you reach a
workshop. Change it for a duty wheel as soon
as possible.
Please note the following restrictions when
using the temporary spare wheel. This tem-
porary spare wheel has been specially de-
signed for your vehicle, thus, it cannot be
changed with the temporary spare wheel
from another vehicle. No other type of tyre (normal summer or win-
ter tyre) m

ay be fitted on the compact tempo-
rary spare wheel rim.
Snow chains
For technical reasons, snow chains must not
be used on the temporary spare wheel.
If you have a puncture on one of the front
wheels when using snow chains, fit the tem-
porary spare wheel in place of one of the rear
wheels. Fit the snow chains on the rear wheel
that you have removed and replace the punc-
tured front wheel with this wheel.
Extraction of the spare wheel in vehicles
with SEAT SOUND 6 speakers (with subwoof-
er)*
● Disassemble the subwoofer's floor p
anel
(carpet) as follows:
● Pull the carpet upwards to remove it.
● Disconnect the subwoofer's s
peaker cable.
● Turn the securing wheel anti-clockwise.
● Remove the subwoofer s
peaker and the
spare wheel.
● When replacing the spare wheel, place the
subwoofer s
peaker in the direction indicated
by the arrow and with the word “FRONT” fac-
ing forward.
● Reconnect the speaker cable and firmly ro-
tate the sec urin

g wheel clockwise so that the subwoofer syst
em and wheel
are firmly in
place. WARNING
● After fittin g the t

emporary spare wheel,
check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
Failure to do so may cause an accident. The
tyre pressures are listed on the inside of the
fuel tank flap.
● Do not drive at over 80 km/h (50 mph)
when the temporary
spare wheel is fitted on
the vehicle: risk of accident!
● Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and
fast
cornering: risk of accident!
● Never use more than one temporary spare
wheel at the same time, ri
sk of accident.
● No other type of tyre (normal summer or
winter tyr
e) may be fitted on the compact
temporary spare wheel rim. Tyre repair

Self-help
Check the condition of the wiper blades regu-
l arly
. If
the wipers scrape across the glass ,
they should be changed if they are damaged,
or cleaned if they are dirty ››› .
If thi
s doe

s not produce the desired results,
the setting angle of the windscreen wiper
arms might be incorrect. They should be
checked by a specialised workshop and cor-
rected if necessary. WARNING
Do not drive unless you have good visibility
through al l

windows!
● Clean the windscreen wiper blades and all
windows
regularly.
● The wiper blades should be changed once
or twice a y
ear. CAUTION
● Damaged or dir ty

windscreen wipers could
scratch the glass.
● Never use fuel, nail varnish remover, paint
thinner or similar pr
oducts to clean the win-
dows. This could damage the windscreen
wiper blades.
● Never move any windscreen wiper by hand.
This cou
ld cause damage.
● To prevent damage to the bonnet and the
windsc
reen wiper arms, the latter should only
be lifted off the windscreen when in service
position. Note
● The winds c

reen wiper arms can be moved
to the service position only when the bonnet
is properly closed.
● You can also use the service position, for
exampl
e, if you want to fix a cover over the
windscreen in the winter to keep it clear of
ice. Towing or tow-starting

Before changing any bulb, first turn off the
failed device. Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with
your bare h

ands. The fingerprints left on the
glass will vaporise as a result of the heat gen-
erated by the bulb, reducing bulb life and
causing condensation on the reflector sur-
face, thus reducing effectiveness.
A bulb must only be replaced by one of the
same type. The type is indicated on the bulb,
either on the glass part or on the base.
Xenon headlights
With this type of headlight, the user can re-
place the turn signal bulb. Replacement of
the dipped/main beam bulb must be done by
Technical Services, given that complex ele-
ments must be removed from the vehicle and
the automatic control system that incorpo-
rates it must be reset.
The Xenon bulbs discharge 2.5 times the
light flux and have an average lifespan of 5
times more than that of halogen bulbs, this
means that, except due to unusual circum-
stances, there is no need to change the bulbs
for the whole life of the vehicle. WARNING
● Take p ar

ticular care when working on com-
ponents in the engine compartment if the en-
gine is warm, there is a risk of burns.
● Bulbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The
glass
can break when you touch the bulb,
causing injury. » 83

Additiona l
lights and other accessories in
front of the air inlet reduce the cooling effect
of the coolant. At high outside temperatures
and high engine loads, there is a risk of the
engine overheating.
● The front spoiler also ensures proper distri-
bution of the coo
ling air when the vehicle is
moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can re-
duce the cooling effect, which could cause
the engine to overheat. Seek specialist assis-
