engine oil Seat Toledo 2014 User Guide

Checking and refilling levels
climbing on mountain passes, the oil level
should preferably be kept within area A ,
but
no higher .
A w
arning lamp will appear on the instrument
panel ››› page 34, Engine oil  if the oil lev-
el is too low. In this case, check the oil level
as soon as possible. Top up with the required
amount of oil. CAUTION
● The oil level must never exceed area A›››
Fig. 111. Risk of damage to the exhaust
sy s

tem!
● If the engine oil cannot be topped up under
the given conditions,  do not drive on! Stop the engine and seek

the professional assis-
tance of an Official Service, as this could
cause serious damage to the engine. Topping up engine oil
–

Checking the engine oil level .
– Unscrew the cap from the filler opening.
– Put in the specified grade of oil 0.5 litres at
a time ›››
page 135 .
– Chec k

the oil level ›››
page 136.
– Replace the oil filler cap carefully and push
the dipstick all the way in. Changing engine oil Engine oil must be changed with the frequen-
cy indicated in the Maintenance Programme
or according to the service interval indicator
››› page 45. CAUTION
Do not mix engine oil with additives. Risk of
damage to the engine! Damage caused by
these products is not covered by the warran-
ty. Note
Wash your skin thoroughly if it comes into
contact with engine oil. Coolant
General notes The cooling system is factory-filled with an
anti-freeze product.
Coolant consists of a mixture of water and
40% anti-freeze additive. This mixture gives
the required anti-freeze protection at temper-
atures down to -25 °C (-13 °F) and protects
the cooling and heating system against cor-
rosion. It also prevents scaling and raises the
boiling point of the coolant considerably.The coolant concentration must not be re-
duced by adding water, even in warmer sea-
sons or in warm countries.
The concentration
of the anti-freeze additive in the coolant
must be at least 40 %.
If greater anti-freeze protection is required in
very cold climates, the proportion of the anti-
freeze additive can be increased, but only up
to 60% (anti-freeze protection down to ap-
proximately -40 °C (-40 °F)). Exceeding this
proportion reduces anti-freeze protection and
the cooling effect.
Coolant fluid with protection down to -35 °C
(-31 °F) is added at the factory in vehicles
destined for countries with a cold climate. In
these countries, the concentration of coolant
should always be kept above 50%.
The type of anti-freeze to be used for topping
up is indicated on the coolant tank cover
››› Fig. 112 . CAUTION
● Anti-freeze that does not correspond to the
correct specification may particularly affect
corrosion protection considerably.
● Faults caused by corrosion may lead to
coolant leaks. Risk of serious engine faults! 137

Checking and refilling levels
Brake fluid Checking brake fluid level Fig. 113
Engine compartment: brake fluid
reservoir. The brake fluid reservoir is located in the en-
gine compartment of the vehicle.
– Switch the ignition off.
– Open the bonnet ››› page 132.
– Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir
››› Fig. 113 . It should be between the “MIN”
and “MAX” m ark
s.
The fluid level drops slightly after a period of
time due to automatic compensation for
brake pad wear. This is quite normal.
However, if the level goes down noticeably in
a short time, or drops below the “MIN” mark,
there may be a leak in the brake system. If
the brake fluid level in the reservoir is too low, this will be indicated by the warning
lamp illuminating on the instrument panel

››› page 33, Brake system  . WARNING
If the fluid level has dropped below the MIN
mark,  do not continue driving. Risk of acci-
dent! Go t
o a technical service. Changing the brake fluid
Brake fluid absorbs moisture. Therefore, it
gradually absorbs moisture from the atmos-
phere. If the water content in the brake fluid
is too high, the brake system could corrode.
The water content also reduces the boiling
point of the brake fluid.
The brake fluid must comply with one of the
following standards or specifications:
● VW 50114
● FMVSS 116 DOT4 WARNING
Heavy use of the brakes may cause a vapour
lock if the brake fluid is left in the brake sys-
tem for too long. This would seriously affect
the efficiency of the brakes and the safety of
the vehicle. CAUTION
Brake fluid damages the vehicle paintwork. Windscreen washer

Engine compartment: windscreen
washer reservoir. The container for the windscreen washer con-
tains the cleaning fluid for the windscreen or
rear window and the headlight washer sys-
tem. The container is located in the engine
compartment.

onto the dash panel where the driver will
see it.
– Do not remove the foreign body, e.g. bolts
or nails, from the tyre.
– Unscrew the tyre valve cap.
– Using the valve extractor 1 , unscrew the
valve insert and place it on a clean surface
(cloth, paper, etc.)
Filling and inflating the tyre Filling the tyre
– Shake the tyre sealant can 10
››› Fig. 128
››› page 155 thoroughly several times.
– Att ac

h the flexible filling hose 3 onto the
can 10 . The foil sealing the can will be au-
tomatically pierced.
– Remove the cap from the flexible filling
hose 3 and insert the open end as far as it
will go into the tyre valve.
– Hold the can 10 upside down and fill the
complete contents of the can into the tyre.
– Remove the empty can from the tyre.
– Screw the valve insert back into the tyre
valve using the valve extractor 1 .Inflating the tyre
–
Screw the tyre filling hose 5
››› Fig. 128
››› page 155 firmly onto the tyre valve.
– Make sure that the bleed screw 7 is
closed.
– Start the vehicle engine and leave it run-
ning.
– Plug connector 9 into the 12-volt power
socket.
– Turn on the air compressor with switch 8 .
– Leave the air compressor running until the
tyre pressure has reached 2.0 -2.5 bar
(29-36 psi/200-250 kPa). The max. operat-
ing time for the compressor is 8 minutes
››› !
– Switch the compressor off.
– When an air pressure of 2.0-2.5 bar
(29-36 psi/200-250 kPa) cannot be
reached, unscrew the flexible tube 5 from
the tyre valve.
– Drive the vehicle approx. 10 metres for-
wards or backwards, so that the sealant
can “spread evenly” in the tyre.
– Screw the flexible hose from the air com-
pressor 5 back onto the tyre valve and re-
peat the inflation process.
– If the pressure is still lower than specified,
the tyre is too badly damaged. The tyre can- not 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
(29-36 psi/200-250 kPa) is reached, you can
continue driving at a max. speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph).
Check the tyre pressure after 10 minutes of
driving ››› page 157 . WARNING
● The flexible tyre filling hose and the air
compressor may heat up during the filling
process. Risk of injury!
● Do not place the hot flexible tyre filling
hose or hot air compressor on top of flamma-
ble materials. Risk of fire!
● If the tyre cannot be inflated to a minimum
pressure of 2.0 bar (29 psi/200 kPa), then
the tyre is too badly damaged. The sealing
product is unable to seal the tyre . Do not
continue driving and obtain professional as-
sistance. CAUTION
Do not use the air compressor for longer than
8 minutes at a time. Risk of overheating! Be-
fore using the air compressor again, leave it
to cool down for several minutes. 156
