Tips for driving
Introduction
Depending upon how you expect to use your vehicle, it may a good idea to
protect the engine from below. A guard underneath the engine may help to
reduce the risk of damage to the lower part of the vehicle and the oil sump
when driving over kerbs, or along dirt tracks or rough roads... Before instal-
lation, SEAT recommends going to a SEAT dealership.
Additional information and warnings:
● Ensure you are correctly seated ⇒ page 48
● Transporting ⇒ page 97
● Starting, changing gears, parking ⇒ page 119
● Ecological driving ⇒ page 144
● Notes for the user ⇒ page 233
WARNING
Driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medication or narcotics
may result in severe accidents and even loss of life.
● Alcohol, drugs, medication and narcotics may significantly alter per-
ception, affect reaction times and safety while driving, which could result
in the loss of control of the vehicle.
Journey preparations and safe driving
Check list
For your own safety, for the safety of vehicle occupants in the vehicle, and
for that of other road users, the following should be checked before and
during each journey
⇒
:
¥ Check that the lights and turn signals operate correctly.
¥ Check the tyre pressures (
⇒ page 210) and level of fuel
(⇒ page 171).
¥ Ensure there is good visibility through all the windows.
¥ Make sure that all objects and bags in the storage compartments, in
the luggage compartment and, where applicable, on the roof, are se-
curely fastened
⇒ page 97.
¥ Ensure there is nothing obstructing the free passage of the foot ped-
als.
¥ Use child retention systems appropriate for the child's body weight
and height
⇒ page 76.
¥ Correctly adjust front seat, head rests and rear-view mirrors to suit
your height
⇒ page 48, ⇒ page 95.
¥ Wear close-fitting shoes which do not prevent you from using the
pedals correctly.
¥ The driver's floor mat in the footwell should be fixed to the floor,
leaving the pedal area unobstructed.
¥ Before starting out, ensure you are correctly seated and remain in
this position throughout the journey. This applies to all passengers
in the vehicle
⇒ page 48.

Before starting the engine
CAUTION
SEAT does not accept liability for any damage to the vehicle due to the use
of a lower quality fuel, an inadequate service or the non-availability of genu-
ine spare parts.
Driving along flooded roadways
To prevent damage to the vehicle when driving through water, for example,
along a flooded road, please observe the following:
● Check the depth of the water before entering the flooded zone. The wa-
ter should never come above the lower edge of the bodywork ⇒
.
● Do not drive faster than a pedestrian.
● Do not stop in the water, use reverse gear or switch off the engine.
● Oncoming traffic will cause waves which raise the level of the water,
making it difficult to cross the water.
● Disconnect the Start-Stop system whenever crossing water.
WARNING
When driving through water, mud, melted snow, etc., please remember
that due to damp or frozen brake discs and pads in winter, the braking
effect may be delayed, therefore the required braking distance is greater.
● “Dry the brakes and remove ice” by braking carefully. Ensure that you
are not endangering other road-users or breaking traffic regulations in
the process.
● After driving through water, avoid sudden sharp manoeuvres.
CAUTION
● Driving through flooded areas may severely damage vehicle compo-
nents such as the engine, transmission, running gear or electrical system.
● Never drive through salt water as salt causes corrosion. Always rinse any
parts of the vehicle which have been in contact with salt water.

Unlocking and locking
Remote control vehicle key*
Fig. 12 Remote control
key
Remote control key
With the vehicle key the vehicle may be locked or unlocked remotely
⇒ page 33.
The vehicle key includes an emitter and battery. The receiver is in the interi-
or of the vehicle. The range of the vehicle key with remote control and new
battery is several metres around the vehicle.
If it is not possible to open or close the vehicle using the remote control key,
this should be re-synchronised ⇒ page 31 or the battery changed
⇒ page 31.
Different keys belonging to the vehicle may be used.
Folding the key shaft in and out
When the button is pressed ⇒ Fig. 12 A
, the key shaft is released and un-
folds.
To fold it press the button and fold the key shaft in until it locks in place. Duplicate keys
To obtain a spare key and other vehicle keys, the vehicle chassis number is
required.
Each new key must contain a microchip and be coded with the data from the
electronic vehicle immobilizer. In vehicle key will not work if it does not con-
tain microchip or the microchip has not been encoded. This is also true for
keys cut for the vehicle.
The vehicle keys or new spare keys can be obtained from a SEAT dealership,
a Specialised workshop or approved key service qualified to create this kind
of key.
Synchronise new keys or spare keys before use
⇒ page 31.
CAUTION
The remote control key contains electronic components. Protect the vehicle
keys from damage, impacts and humidity.
Note
Only use the key button when you require the corresponding function. Push-
ing the button unnecessarily could accidentally unlock the vehicle or trigger
the alarm. It is also possible even when you are outside the radius of action.
Note
Remote control key operation can be greatly influenced by overlapping ra-
dio signals around the vehicle working in the same range of frequencies (for
example, radio transmitters, mobile telephones).
Note
Obstacles between the remote control and the vehicle, bad weather condi-
tions and discharged batteries can considerably reduce the range of the re-
mote control.

Unlocking and locking
Central locking* and locking system Introduction
Central locking functions correctly when all the doors and the rear lid are
correctly shut. If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked with
the key.
The battery of a vehicle left unlocked during a long period (for instance, in a
private garage) may run down and fail to start the motor.
Additional information and warnings:
● Exterior detail ⇒ page 6
● Vehicle key set ⇒ page 28
● Doors ⇒ page 38
● Rear lid ⇒ page 40
● Electric windows ⇒ page 43
● Emergency locking and unlocking ⇒ page 243
WARNING
The incorrect use of the central locking system may cause serious inju-
ries.
● The central locking system will lock all doors. A vehicle locked from
the inside can prevent any non-authorised individual from opening the
doors and accessing the vehicle. Nevertheless, in case of emergency or
accident, locked doors will complicate access to the passenger compart-
ment to help the passengers.
● Never leave children or disabled people alone in the vehicle. The cen-
tral locking button can be used to lock all the doors from within. There-
fore, passengers will be locked inside the vehicle. Individuals locked in
the vehicle can be exposed to very high or very low temperatures.
WARNING (Continued)
● Depending on the time of the year, temperatures inside a locked and
closed vehicle can be extremely high or extremely low resulting in seri-
ous injuries and illness or even death, particularly for young children.
● Never leave individuals locked in a closed and locked vehicle. In case
of emergency, they may not be able to exit the vehicle by themselves or
get help.
Description of the central locking system
The central locking system allows all doors and the rear lid to be locked and
unlocked centrally.
● From outside, using the vehicle key.
● From inside, by pushing the central locking button ⇒ page 36.
The central locking system can be activated or deactivated at a specialised
workshop.
In case of a vehicle key fault or central locking system fault, all doors can be
locked or unlocked manually.
Locking the vehicle after the airbags have been deployed
If the airbags are deployed due to an accident, the vehicle will be automati-
cally and completely unlocked. Depending on the amount of damage, the
vehicle can be locked following an accident in the following ways:
