Engine oil
Gener al not
es The engine comes with a special, multi-grade
oil that can be used all year r
ound.
Because the use of high-qualit

y oil is essen-
tial for the correct operation of the engine
and its long useful life, when topping up or
changing oil, use only those oils that comply
with VW standards. 1)
In hybrid vehicles the battery can be found in
the l eft hand side of the luggage compartment

Practical tips

Fires, sparks, open flames and smoking are
pr
ohibit
ed.
 The battery should only be charged in a well-
v
entil

ated zone. Risk of explosion!
 Keep children away from acid and batteries!

Checking and refilling levels
WARNING
The 12 volt battery is a subject to wear. A
r eduction in batt
ery power can mean that
some important safety systems, such as
power steering, braking intervention, lights
or airbag systems, operate with limitations
or stop working entirely. This may cause
serious accidents and injuries. To avoid
this, it is necessary to take the following
safety measure:

Checking and refilling levels
Charging the battery
The v ehicl
e battery should be charged by a
specialised workshop only, as batteries using
special technology have been installed and
they must be charged in a controlled environ-
ment.
Replacing a vehicle battery
The 12-volt vehicle battery has been de-
signed to suit its location and has special
safety features. If you need to change the
battery, please go to a service centre before
buying a new one to get information about
the electromagnetic compatibility, size and
maintenance requirements, performance and
safety of your vehicle’s new battery. SEAT
recommends you have the battery replaced
by a technical service.
Start-Stop systems ( ››› page 223
) are equip-
ped with a special battery. Therefore, it must
only be replaced with a battery of the same
specifications.
Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent
power management system to control the
distribution of electrical energy ››› page 351
.
The power management function ensures
that the battery is charged much more effi-
ciently than on vehicles without a power
management system. To maintain this func-
tion after replacing the battery, we recom-
mend that the replacement battery used is of
the same make and type as the original fitted battery. To make proper use of the power
management function after the batt
ery has
been changed, have the battery coded to the
power management mode at a specialised
workshop. WARNING

Practical tips
switched off. The system takes the battery di-
agnosis dat a int
o consideration.
Depending on the power level of the battery,
switch off the individual electrical devices
one after the other to prevent the battery
from losing too much charge and to ensure
that the engine can be started reliably.
Dynamic power management
While the vehicle is moving, this function dis-
tributes the available power to the various
electrical devices and systems according to
their requirements. The power management
ensures that on-board systems do not con-
sume more electrical power than the alterna-
tor can supply, and thus maintains the maxi-
mum possible battery power level. Note

Vehicle maintenance
If your SEAT vehicle is immobilised due to a
f ault or an accident, our assist
ance services
will help you keep moving.
Take into account that the SEAT Mobility
Service differs depending on the country in
which the vehicle was purchased. For further
information ask your SEAT dealership or the
SEAT website in your country.

over time is conditioned by the component it-
self and does not represent a defect from a
warranty point of view.
3. The warranty for high-voltage batteries will
be invalidated when the defect is due to use,
handling or maintenance not in accordance
with the content of the instruction manual.
This is particularly applicable the battery
