brake light Seat Toledo 2014 Owner's Guide

Advice
●
Make sure you do not damage the paint-
work on the vehicle on removing snow and
ice from the windows and rear vision mirrors.
● Do not remove the snow or ice dirty with
thick particles, e.g. gravel, sand or road salt,
from windows and mirrors. Risk of damage to
the glass and mirror surfaces. Radio reception and aerial
In vehicles factory-fitted with an audio or
navigation system, the aerial may be instal-
led in different places:
● inside the rear window next to the heating
elements,
● on the roof of the vehicle.
Headlights Use soap and clean, hot water to clean the
front headlights.
CAUTION
● Never rub the headlights to dry them and
do not use sharp objects to clean the plastic
glass material. These could damage the pro-
tective paint and cause the headlights to
crack. ●
Do not use aggressive cleaning products or
chemical solvents to clean the glass. This
could damage the headlights. Care of rubber seals
The weatherstrips on doors and windows will
remain pliable and last longer if they are oc-
casionally treated with a suitable rubber care
product. This will prevent premature ageing
and leaks. If they are properly cared for, the
seals will be less likely to freeze up in the
winter.
Door lock cylinder Special products must be used to defrost
lock cylinders.
Note
● Make sure, when washing the vehicle, that
the least amount of water possible enters the
lock cylinders.
● We recommend the use of products from
the selection of SEAT Original Accessories to
care for the door lock cylinder. Wheels
Wheel trims
If you wash the vehicle regularly, you should
also thoroughly wash the wheel trim. Regu-
larly remove any brake dust and road salt
from the wheels, otherwise the wheel materi-
al could be damaged. Repair any damage to
the wheel paintwork immediately.
Alloy wheels
After thorough washing, treat the wheels
with a protective product for alloy wheels. Do
not use abrasive products to care for the
wheels.
WARNING
Moisture, ice and road salt may affect braking
efficiency. Risk of accident! CAUTION
Heavy dirt on the wheels could lead to their
misalignment. This could result in vibrations
being transmitted to the steering wheel that
under certain conditions may cause prema-
ture steering wear. This dirt must be re-
moved. Note
We recommend you leave paint damage re-
pairs to a SEAT Authorised Service. 126

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.

Wheel bolts The wheel bolts
are m atched to the rims.
When installing different wheels, e.g. to fit
light alloy wheels or wheels with winter tyres,
it is important to use the correct wheel bolts
with the right length and correctly shaped
bolt heads. This is essential for a secure fit of
the wheels and for proper operation of the
brake system.
Changing a wheel If possible, change the wheel on a level sur-
face.
– Pull off the hub cap ›››
page 151 or the
wheel bolt covers ›››
page 151.
– First loosen the anti-theft wheel bolts and
then the other wheel bolts ›››
page 152.
– Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be
changed is no longer touching the ground
››› page 153 .
– Remo

ve the wheel bolts and place them on
a clean surface (cloth, paper, etc.).
– Take off the wheel.
– Lift the spare wheel into position and tight-
en the wheel bolts lightly.
– Lower the vehicle. –
Tighten the wheel bolts firmly in diagonal
sequence with the box spanner and then
the anti-theft wheel bolt ››› page 152.
– Replace the hub cap and/or the bolt cov-
ers. Note
● All bolts must be clean and turn easily.
● Never grease or oil the wheel bolts!
● Note the direction of rotation when putting
on a tyre with a directional tread pattern
››› page 144. After changing a wheel
Tasks that must be carried out after changing
a wheel:
– Place the wheel with the defective tyre in
the spare wheel well and secure it using a
special bolt ›››
page 146 .
– Put

the vehicle tools back in their storage
location.
– Check the tyre pressure of the newly fitted
s

pare wheel as soon as possible.
– Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bo

lts checked as soon as possible with a
torque wrench.
– Have the flat tyre replaced or ask an Official
Service about the possibility of repair. Note
● If you notice that the wheel bolts are rusty
and difficult to turn when changing a wheel,
they must be replaced before having the
tightening torque checked.
● Drive carefully and at moderate speeds un-
til the tightening torque of the wheel bolts
has been checked. Loosening and tightening wheel bolts

Emergencies
on battery). Failure to comply could result in
an explosion.
●
Never use jump leads when one of the bat-
teries is frozen. Danger of explosion! Even af-
ter the battery has thawed, battery acid could
leak and cause chemical burns. If a battery
freezes, it should be replaced.
● Keep sparks, flames and lighted cigarettes
away from batteries, danger of explosion.
Failure to comply could result in an explo-
sion.
● Observe the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the jump leads.
● Do not connect the negative cable from the
other vehicle directly to the negative terminal
of the flat battery. The gas emitted from the
battery could be ignited by sparks. Danger of
explosion.
● Do not attach the negative cable from the
other vehicle to parts of the fuel system or to
the brake line.
● The non-insulated parts of the battery
clamps must not be allowed to touch. The
jump lead attached to the positive battery
terminal must not touch metal parts of the ve-
hicle, this can cause a short circuit.
● Position the leads in such a way that they
cannot come into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
● Do not lean on the batteries. This could re-
sult in chemical burns. Note
The vehicles must not touch each other, oth-
erwise electricity could flow as soon as the
positive terminals are connected. Towing the vehicle
Introduction Vehicles with manual gearbox can be towed
using a towbar or towrope. They can also be
towed with either the front or rear wheels lif-
ted off the road.
Vehicles with automatic gearbox can be tow-
ed using a towbar or towrope. They can also
be towed with the front wheels lifted off the
road. If the vehicle is towed with the rear
wheels lifted off the road the automatic gear-
box will be damaged!
It is safer to tow a vehicle with a
towbar. A
towrope should only be used if you do not
h av
e a towbar.
Follow the instructions below when towing a
vehicle:
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
– Engage the clutch very gently when starting
to move or on vehicles with automatic gear-
box press the accelerator carefully. –
On vehicles with a manual gearbox, the
towrope must be taut before driving off.
Maximum towing speed is 50 km/h (31
mph).
Note

s for the driver of the towed vehicle
– The ignition should be switched on so that
the steering wheel lock is not engaged and
the turn signals, horn and windscreen wip-
ers and washers can be used.
– Put the gear lever in neutral or move the se-
lector lever to position N (automatic gear-
bo

x).
The brake servo and power steering only
work when the engine is running. Considera-
bly more effort is required on the brake pedal
and steering wheel when the engine is
switched off.
Ensure the towrope remains taut at all times
when towing. CAUTION
● Do not tow-start the engine. Risk of engine
damage! In vehicles with a catalytic convert-
er, fuel that has not been burned could reach
the catalytic converter and catch fire in it.
This could damage and destroy the catalytic
converter. You may use the battery from an-
other vehicle to help you start your engine
