Coolant specifications
The engine cooling system is supplied from
the factory with a specially treated mixture of
water and at least 40 % of the additive G13
(TL-VW 774 J), purple. This mixture gives the
necessary frost protection down to -25°C
(-13°F) and protects the light alloy parts of
the engine cooling system against corrosion.
It also prevents scaling and considerably rai-
ses the boiling point of the coolant.
To protect the cooling system, the percentage
of additive must always be at least 40 %, even in warm climates where anti-freeze pro-
tection is

not required.
If for weather reasons further protection is
necessary, the proportion of additive may be
increased, but only up to 60 %; otherwise an-
tifreeze protection will diminish and this will
worsen cooling.
When the coolant is topped up, use a mixture
of distilled water and at least 40 % of the
G13 or G12 plus-plus (TL-VW 774 G) additive
(both are purple) to obtain an optimum anti-
corrosion protection ››› in Checking the
c oo
l

ant level and topping up on page 194.
The mixture of G13 with G12 plus (TL-VW 774
F), G12 (red) or G11 (green-blue) engine cool-
ants will significantly reduce anti-corrosion
protection and should therefore be avoided

The essentials
●
Only u
se wheel bolts which correspond to
the wheel rims in question.
● Never use different wheel bolts.
● The bolts and threads should be clean, free
of oil
and grease and easy to thread.
● To loosen and tighten the wheel bolts, al-
way
s use the wheel brace supplied with the
vehicle.
● Loosen the wheel bolts only about one turn
before r
aising the vehicle with the jack.
● Never grease or lubricate wheel bolts or the
wheel hub thre
ads. Although they have been
tightened to the prescribed torque, they
could come loose while driving.
● Never loosen the bolted joints of wheel
rims with bo
lted ring trims.
● If the wheel bolts are not tightened to the
correct
torque, they may come loose while
driving, and the bolts and rims may come
out. If the tightening torque is too high, the
wheel bolts and threads can be damaged. Raising the vehicle with the jack

The essentials
WARNING
If the vehicle is not correctly raised, it could
fa l
l off the jack causing serious injury. Please
observe the following rules to minimise the
risk of injury:
● You should only use a jack approved by
SEAT f
or your vehicle. Other jacks, even those
approved for other SEAT models, might slip
out of place.
● The ground should be firm and flat. If the
ground i
s sloped or soft then the vehicle
could slip and fall off the jack. If necessary,
support the jack on a wide solid base.
● If the ground is slippery, such as tiles,
plac
e a non-slip surface (a floor mat, for in-
stance) beneath the jack to avoid slipping.
● Only fit the jack at the prescribed jacking
points. The c
law of the jack should grip the
reinforcement nerve on the underbody
››› Fig. 56.
● You should never place a body limb such as
an arm or leg u
nder a raised vehicle that is
solely supported by the jack.
● If you have to work underneath the vehicle,
you mus
t use suitable stands additionally to
support the vehicle, there is a risk of acci-
dent!.
● Never raise the vehicle if it is tilting to one
side or the engine i
s running.
● Never start the engine when the vehicle is
raised.
The vehicle may come loose from the
jack due to the engine vibrations. Removing and fitting a wheel

Removing the wheel
● Slacken the wheel bolts ›››
page 38.
● Raise the vehicle ›››
page 39.
● Using the hexagonal socket in the wheel
brace ›

›› Fig. 57, unscrew the slackened
wheel bolts and place them on a clean sur-
face.
● Take off the wheel.
How to u
se the spare wheel or temporary
spare wheel
Check the direction of rotation of the tyre
›››  page 208, Tyre code. ●
Place the s
pare wheel or temporary spare
wheel into position.
● Replace the wheel bolts and tighten slight
-
ly using the hexagonal socket on the end of
the wheel brace.
● To tighten the anti-theft locking wheel bolts
use the corr
esponding adaptor.
● Lower the car with the jack.
● Tighten all of the wheel bolts clockwise
›››
. Tighten the bolts in diagonal pairs (not
in a c ir
c
le).
● Put the caps, trim or full hubcap back on
›››
page 37. WARNING
If the wheel bolts are not treated suitably or
not tight ened t

o the correct torque then this
could lead to loss of vehicle control and to a
serious accident.
● All the wheel bolts and hub threads should
be cle
an and free of oil and grease. The wheel
bolts should be easily tightened to the cor-
rect torque.
● The hexagonal socket in the wheel brace
should be u
sed for turning wheel bolts only.
Do not use it to loosen or tighten the wheel
bolts. 40

Operation
outside temperature as a result of heat com-
in g fr
om the en
gine.
The temperatures measured range from
-40°C to +50°C (-40°F to +122°F).
Selector lever position
The range of engaged gears of the selector
lever is shown on the side of the lever, and
on the instrument panel display. In positions
D and M, and with the Tiptronic, the corre-
sponding gear is also indicated on the dis-
play.
Recommended gear* (manual gearbox)
The recommended gear to save fuel can be
displayed on the instrument panel display
while you are driving ››› page 142.
Seat belt status display for the rear seats*
The seat belt status display on the instru-
ment panel display informs the driver, when
the ignition is switched on, whether any pas-
sengers in the rear seats have fastened their
seat belts ››› page 52.
Start-Stop system status display
The instrument panel display shows informa-
tion on the current status ››› page 160. WARNING
If the warning lamps are ignored, the vehicle
ma y

stall in traffic, or may cause accidents
and severe injuries.
● Never ignore the warning lamps.
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
● A faulty vehicle represents a risk of acci-
dent for the driv
er and for other road users. If
necessary, switch on the hazard warning
lamps and put out the warning triangle to ad-
vise other drivers.
● Park the vehicle away from traffic and en-
sure th
at no highly flammable materials are
under the vehicle that could come into con-
tact with the exhaust system (e.g. dry grass,
fuel). WARNING
Even though outside temperatures are above
freez in

g, some roads and bridges may be icy.
● At outside temperatures above +4°C
(+39°F), even when the “ice c
rystal” symbol
is not visible, there may still be patches of ice
on the road.
● Do not rely on the outside temperature in-
dicator! CAUTION
Failure to heed the warning lamps when they
appe ar m

ay result in faults in the vehicle. Note
● Differ ent

versions of the instrument panel
are available and therefore the versions and
instructions on the display may vary.
● When several warnings are active at the
same time, the symbol
s are shown succes-
sively for a few seconds and will stay on until
the fault is rectified. Service interval display
