Self-help
– Switch the compressor off.
– When an air pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar cannot be reached, un-
screw the flexible pipe 5
from the tyre valve.
– Drive the vehicle approx. 10 metres forwards or backwards, so
that the sealant can “spread evenly” in the tyre.
– Screw the flexible hose from the air compressor 5
back onto
the tyre valve and repeat the inflation process.
– If the pressure is still lower than specified, the tyre is too badly
damaged. The tyre cannot be repaired using the tyre sealant kit
⇒ 
.
– Switch the compressor off.
– Unscrew the flexible hose 5
from the tyre valve.
When a tyre pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar is reached then you can con-
tinue driving at a max. speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
Check the tyre pressure after 10 minutes of driving ⇒ page 205.
WARNING
● The flexible tyre filling hose and the air compressor may heat up dur-
ing the filling process. Risk of injury!
● Do not place the hot flexible tyre filling hose or hot air compressor on
top of flammable materials. Risk of fire!
● If the tyre cannot be inflated to a minimum pressure of 2.0 bar then
the tyre is too badly damaged. The sealing product is unable to seal the
tyre  . Do not drive on and obtain professional assistance.
CAUTION
Do not use the air compressor for longer than 8 minutes at a time. Risk of
overheating! Before using the air compressor again, leave it to cool down
for several minutes. 
Check after 10 minutes of driving
Check the tyre pressure after 10 minutes of driving!
If the tyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar:
–  Do not drive on! The tyre cannot be sufficiently filled using
the tyre repair kit.
– See professional assistance.
If the tyre pressure is over 1.3 bar:
– Correct the tyre pressure again to the correct value (see inside
of the fuel tank flap).
– Carefully resume your journey to the nearest specialised work-
shop at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). 
Jump-starting
Introduction
If the engine fails to start because of a discharged battery, the battery can
be connected to the battery of another vehicle to start the engine. Suitable
jump leads are required. 
Safety FirstOperating instructionsPractical TipsTechnical specifications

206Self-help
Both batteries must be rated at 12 Volts. The capacity (Ah) of the booster
battery should not be significantly lower than that of the discharged battery.
Jump leads
The jump leads must be heavy enough to carry the starter current and must
be fitted with insulated battery clamps. Refer to the instructions given by
the manufacturer.
Positive cable – usually red
Negative cable – usually black
WARNING
● When it is discharged, a battery can freeze at temperatures around
0 °C (32 °F). A frozen battery must first be thawed out before connecting
the jump leads. Risk of explosion!
● Please note the safety warnings referring to working in the engine
compartment ⇒ page 173.
● The non-insulated parts of the battery clamps must not be allowed to
touch. Additionally, the jump lead attached to the positive battery termi-
nal must not touch metal parts of the vehicle. Risk of short circuit!
● Do not connect the negative lead to the negative terminal of the dis-
charged battery. In the event of sparks when starting the engine, the ex-
plosive gas given off by the battery could catch fire.
● Position the jump leads in such a way that they cannot come into con-
tact with any moving parts in the engine compartment.
● Do not bend over the battery. Risk of acid burns!
● The screw plugs on the battery cells must be screwed in firmly.
● Keep sources of fire (flames, lit cigarettes, etc.) away from the bat-
tery. Risk of explosion!
● Never use the jump leads on batteries in which the electrolyte level is
too low. Risk of explosion and acid burns.
Note
● The vehicles must not touch each other, as electricity could flow as soon
as the positive terminals are connected.
● The discharged battery must be properly connected to the vehicle elec-
trical system.
● The jump leads should be checked in a specialist vehicle battery shop. 
Starting the engine

with the battery of anoth-
er vehicle: A – Dis-
charged battery, B –
Boosting battery
The two jump leads must be connected in the correct sequence:
Connecting the positive terminals with the positive lead
– Connect one end 1
⇒ Fig. 136 to the positive terminal of the
flat battery A.
– Connect the other end 2
to the positive terminal of the boost-
ing battery B. 

Fuses
Introduction
All the electrical circuits are protected by fuses.
● Switch off the ignition and the electrical component concerned before
changing a fuse.
● Identify the fuse corresponding to the failed electrical component
⇒ page 211, Fuses in the dash panel, or ⇒ page 214, Changing fuses in
the engine compartment.
● Take the plastic clip from inside the fuse cover, fit it onto the blown fuse
and pull the fuse out.
● Replace the blown fuse (which will have a melted metal strip) with a new
fuse of the same amp rating.
Fuse colour code
ColourMaximum amp rating
light brown5dark brown7,5red10blue15yellow20white25green30
WARNING
Read and follow the warnings ⇒ page 173, Engine compartment before
starting work in the engine compartment.
CAUTION
● Never “repair” a fuse or replace it by fitting a fuse with a higher amp rat-
ing. Risk of fire! This could also cause damage to other parts of the electri-
cal system.
● If a newly replaced fuse blow again when the electrical component con-
cerned is switched on, the electrical system must be checked by an Official
Service as soon as possible.
Note
● It is advisable to always keep spare fuses in the vehicle. The spare fuse
box is available in the range of original SEAT parts.
● One single electrical component could have more than one fuse.
● Several electrical components may be protected by the same fuse. 

Fuses and bulbs
WARNING
● Take particular care when working on components in the engine com-
partment if the engine is warm. Risk of burns.
● Bulbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The glass can break when you
touch the bulb, causing injury.
● The high voltage element of gas discharge bulbs* (xenon light) must
be handled correctly. Otherwise, there is a risk of death.
● When changing bulbs, please take care not to injure yourself on sharp
parts in the headlight housing.
CAUTION
● Remove the ignition key before working on the electric system. Other-
wise, a short circuit could occur.
● Switch off the lights and the parking light before changing a bulb.
For the sake of the environment
Please ask your specialist retailer how to dispose of used bulbs in the prop-
er manner.
Note
● Depending on weather conditions (cold or wet), the front lights, the fog
lights, the rear lights and the turn signals may be temporarily misted. This
has no influence on the useful life of the lighting system. By switching on
the lights, the area through which the beam of light is projected will quickly
be demisted. However, the edges may remain misted.
● Please check at regular intervals that all lighting (especially the exterior
lighting) on your vehicle is functioning properly. This is not only in the inter-
est of your own safety, but also in that of all other road users. ●
Before changing a bulb, make sure you have the correct new bulb.
● Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with your bare hands, use a cloth
or paper towel instead. Otherwise, the fingerprints left on the glass will va-
porise as a result of the heat generated by the bulb, they will be deposited
on the reflector and will impair its surface. 

hicle must be checked. Never fill with incorrect fluids, other-
wise serious damage to the engine may be caused.
