coolant capacity Seat Ibiza ST 2016 Owner's manual

Operation
●
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-
tance. Fuel level

Never run the fuel tank completely dry. An ir-

this way the unburned fuel can reach the ex-

There are red warning symbols (priority 1)
and yellow warning symbols (priority 2).
Warning messages, Priority 1 (red)
If one of these faults occurs, the warning
lamp will light up or flash and will be accom-
panied by three audible warnings. This is a
danger warning. Stop the vehicle and switch
off the engine. Check the fault and correct it.
Obtain professional assistance if necessary.
If several priority 1 faults are detected at the
same time, the symbols will be displayed one after the other for about 2 seconds at a time
and will

continue until the fault is corrected.
No menus will be shown in the display for the
duration of a priority 1 warning message.
Examples of priority 1 warning messages
(red)
● Brake system symbol  with the warning
me
ssage STOP BRAKE FLUID INSTRUC-
TION MANUAL or STOP BRAKE FAULT IN-
STRUCTION MANUAL .
● Coolant symbol  with the warning me
s-
sage STOP SEE COOLANT INSTRUCTION
MANUAL .
● Engine oil pressure symbol  with the
warning me
ssage STOP ENGINE OIL
PRESSURE LOW! INSTRUCTION MANUAL .
Warning messages, Priority 2 (yellow)
If one of these faults occurs, the correspond-
ing warning lamp lights up and is accompa-
nied by an audible warning. Check the corre-
sponding function as soon as possible al-
though the vehicle may be used without risk.
If several priority 2 warning messages are de-
tected at the same time, the symbols are dis-
played one after the other for about 2 sec-
onds at a time. After a set time, the informa-
tion text will disappear and the symbol will
be shown as a reminder at the side of the
display.

Driving
Run-in and economical driving R u
nnin g in a new en
gineThe engine needs to be run in over the first
1,500 km.
Up to 1000 k
i

lometres
– Do not drive at speeds of more than 2/3
the maximum speed.
– Do not

accelerate hard.
– Avoid high engine revolutions.
– Do not tow a trailer.
From 1000 to 1500 k i

lometres (600 to 900
miles)
– Speeds can be graduall
y increased to the
maximum road speed or maximum permis-
sible engine speed (rpm).
During its first few hours of running, the in-
ternal friction in the engine is greater than
later on, when all the moving parts have bed-
ded in. For the sake of the environment
If the engine is run in gently, its life will be in-
cre a

sed and its oil consumption reduced. Tyre and brake pad run-in
New tyres should be run-in carefully for the
first
500

km (300 miles). New brake pads
should be run-in carefully for the first
200 km.
During the first 200 km, you can compensate
for the reduced braking effect by applying
more pressure to the brake pedal. In case of
a sharp braking, the braking distance will be
longer with new brake pads than with brake
pads which have been run-in. WARNING
● At firs t, new ty

res do not give maximum
grip, and require running-in. This may cause
an accident. Drive particularly carefully in the
first 500 km.
● New brake pads must be “run in” and do
not have the c
orrect friction properties during
the first 200 km. However, the reduced brak-
ing capacity may be compensated by press-
ing on the brake pedal a little harder. Environmental compatibility
Environmental protection is a top priority in
the de
s
ign, c hoic

e of materials and manufac-
ture of your new SEAT. Constructive measures to encourage recy-
cling
● Joints and c

onnections designed for easy
dismantling
● Modu

lar construction to facilitate disman-
tling
● Incre

ased use of single-grade materials.
● Plastic parts and elastomers are marked in
accord
ance with ISO 1043, ISO 11469 and
ISO 1629.
Choice of materials
● Use of recycled materials.
● Use of compatible plastics in the same part
if its components
are not easily separated.
● Use of recycled materials and/or materials
originating from r
enewable sources.
● Reduction of volatile components, includ-
ing odour, in pl
astic materials.
● Use of CFC-free coolants.
Ban on heavy met
als, with the exceptions
dictated by law (Annex II of ELV Directive
2000/53/EC): cadmium, lead, mercury, hexa-
valent chromium.
Manufacturing methods
● Reduction of the quantity of thinner in the
protective w
ax for cavities.
● Use of plastic film as protection during ve-
hicle tran
sport. »
