systems
Introduction WARNING
â— The brake servo only works when the en-
gine is running. Braking when the engine is
switched off requires applying more strength
to the brake pedal. Risk of accident!
â— Press down on the clutch pedal when stop-
ping and braking with a manual gearbox, pet-
rol engine vehicle at low speed. Otherwise,
the brake servo might not work properly. Risk
of accident!
â— In the event of damage to the standard
front spoiler or where a different front spoil-
er, wheel trims, etc. are subsequently fitted,
make sure the air vent to the brakes on the
front wheels is not blocked. Otherwise, brak-
ing operations may be impaired. Risk of acci-
dent!
â— Always fully release the handbrake. If it is
only partially released, this will cause over-
heating of the rear brakes, which can impair
the function of the brake system. Risk of acci-
dent!
â— Never leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle. They could release the handbrake or
move the gear lever. The vehicle could start
moving. Risk of accident! â—
Insufficient fuel can cause the engine to run
irregularly or to switch off. Brake assist sys-
tems could be impaired. Risk of accident!
â— Always adjust your driving style to suit visi-
bility, the weather and road and traffic condi-
tions. The best vehicle safety offered by
brake assist systems must never encourage
you to run greater risks. Risk of accident! CAUTION
â— Observe the information concerning new
brake pads ››› page 104
.
â— Wher e br
aking is not necessary, do not
wear down the brake pads by pressing down
gently on the brake pedal. This causes the
brakes to overheat, increasing their wear and
increasing braking distances.
â— To ensure the brake assist systems work
properly, all wheels must be fitted with tyres
approved by the manufacturer. Note
â— If you brake suddenly and the brake system
control unit regards the situation as hazard-
ous for the drivers behind you, the brake
lights will begin to flash automatically. After
reducing speed to approximately 10 km/h (6
mph) or stopping the vehicle, the brake lights
will stop flashing and the hazard warning
lights will switch on. The hazard warning
lights are automatically switched off when
you accelerate or restart the vehicle. 98

Driving
The tyre pressures should always be checked
when the tyres are cold.
Do not u
se winter tyres all year round as they
increase fuel consumption by up to 10%.
Avoid unnecessary weight
Given that every kilo of extra weight
will in-
crease the fuel consumption, it is advisable
to always check the luggage compartment to
make sure that no unnecessary loads are be-
ing transported.
A roof rack is often left in place for the sake
of convenience, even when it is no longer
needed. At a speed of 100 km/h (62 mph)
and 120 km/h (75 mph) your vehicle will use
about 12% more fuel as a result of the extra
wind resistance caused by the roof rack even
when it is not in use.
Save electricity
The engine activates the alternator, which
produces electricity. With the need for elec-
tricity, fuel consumption also increases. Be-
cause of this, always turn off electrical devi-
ces when you do not need them. Examples of
devices that use a lot of electricity are: the
fan at high speeds, the rear window heating
and the seat heaters*. Note
â— If you vehicle has Start-Stop, it is not rec-
ommended t o sw
itch this function off. â—
It is recommended to close the windows
when driving at more than 60 km/h (40 mph)
â— Do not drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, as the pressure can make the
p l
ate spin, more fuel will be used and it can
burn the clutch plate lining, causing a serious
fault.
â— Do not hold the vehicle on a hill with the
clutch, use the foot brake or hand brake, us-
ing the latter to start. The fuel consumption
will be lower and you will prevent the clutch
plate from being damaged.
â— On descents, use the engine brake, chang-
ing to the gear that is more suitable for the
slope. Fuel consumption will be “zero†and
the brakes will not suffer. Wading and driving off-road
Driving through water Fig. 94
Driving through water. To prevent the vehicle from being damaged
when driving through water (i.e. flooded
roads), please observe the following:
â— Determine the depth of the water before
entering. Water can reach a maximum height
of below the door sill ››› Fig. 94 .
â— Driv e at
a maximum pace of walking speed.
Driving at a higher speed can cause a wave
in front of the vehicle, which can cause water
to enter the engine air intake system or other
parts of the vehicle.
â— Never stop in the water, never reverse and
never stop the engine.
â— Before driving through water deactivate the
Start-Stop system ››› page 112. WARNING
â— Driving through water, dirt and mud can re-
duce braking capability and prolong the brak-
ing distance – Risk of accident!
â— Do not carry out any sudden or strong brak-
ing manoeuvres after driving through water.
â— Clean and dry the brakes as soon as possi-
ble after driving through water by breaking
intermittently. Carry out braking in order to
dry the brakes and clean the brake discs only
if traffic so permits. Do not put other drivers
at risk. » 107Technical specifications

Operation
Electronic differential lock If one of the wheels starts to skid, the EDL
brakes that wheel, transmitting the driving
force to the other wheels. This increases ve-
hicle stability and improves driving stability.
To prevent the disc brake of the braking
wheel from overheating, the EDL cuts out au-
tomatically if subjected to excessive loads.
The vehicle will continue to function normally
without EDL. The EDL will switch on again au-
tomatically when the brake has cooled down.
Parking aid* Functioning Fig. 96
Parking aid: range of the sensors. Ultrasound sensors are used so that the park-
ing aid system can calculate the distance be- tween the rear bumper and an obstacle. The
sensors are located in the rear bumper.
Sensor range
The warning begins at a distance of 160 cm
from the obstacle (zone
A
››› Fig. 96 ). As the
o b
stacle is approached, the audible warning
sounds with increasing frequency.
Within a distance of approximately 30 cm
(zone B ), a warning tone will sound continu-
ously. Danger zone. Stop reversing immedi-
ately!
In vehicles factory-fitted with certain audio or
radio-navigation system models, the dis-
tance from the obstacle is displayed graphi-
cally on the screen. See the audio or naviga-
tion system Instruction Manual.
In vehicles factory-fitted with a towing sys-
tem, the rear area at which the system starts
to indicate the obstacle is extended by
around 5 centimetres. The length of the vehi-
cle can be extended by a detachable towing
bracket.
In vehicles factory-fitted with towing equip-
ment, the sensors are deactivated when tow-
ing a trailer or caravan.
Switching the parking aid system on and off
Parking aid is switched on when the ignition
is on and reverse gear engaged. This is con-
firmed by a short audible warning. Parking aid is switched off when reverse gear
is released. WARNING
â— Parking aid does not free the driver from re-
sponsibility when parking or performing sim-
ilar manoeuvres. Pay special attention to
small children or animals, as the parking aid
sensors may not always be able to detect
them.
â— Before reversing or parking, make sure
there are no small obstacles, e.g. rocks, nar-
row pillars, towing brackets, etc. in front or
behind the vehicle. These obstacles may not
always be detected by the parking aid device.
â— The surface of certain objects may not re-
flect the signals of the parking aid sensors.
Therefore, people wearing clothing of this
kind may not be detected by the parking aid
system.
â— Outside noise may interfere with the park-
ing aid system. Under certain unfavourable
circumstances, certain objects or people may
not be detected. Note
â— If a constant sound at a higher frequency is
emitted for 3 seconds each time the system is
switched on, there is a fault in the system.
Please take the vehicle to a specialised tech-
nical service to repair this fault. 110

Towing bracket device
altitude, this also reduces climbing ability,
which requires a reduction of the weight of
the vehicle with a trailer by 10% for every
1000 m increase in altitude. The weight of
the assembly is calculated by adding the ve-
hicle weight (loaded) to the trailer weight
(loaded). Always drive with special care when
towing a trailer.
The towed load and support load information
that is displayed on the towing bracket man-
ufacturers label are only values for the verifi-
cation of the device. The correct figures for
your specific vehicle, which are usually lower
than these figures, are given in the documen-
tation of your vehicle. WARNING
â— Exceeding the maximum established load
per axle and the maximum towing bracket
load in addition to the maximum permitted
load or the load of the vehicle + trailer as-
sembly can cause accidents and serious inju-
ries.
â— A sliding load can considerably affect the
stability and safety of the vehicle + trailer as-
sembly, resulting in accidents and serious in-
juries. Towing a trailer
Exterior mirrors
Check whether you can see enough of the
road behind the trailer with the standard rear
vision mirrors. If this is not the case, you
should have additional exterior mirrors fitted.
Observe the relevant statutory requirements
of the country you are in.
Headlights
Before starting a journey, also check the
headlight beam settings with the trailer
hitched up. Adjust the headlight range set-
tings if necessary
›››
page 62, Range control
of main lights .
Driving speed
For your own safety do not drive faster than
the maximum permitted speed indicated on
the trailer.
At all times, immediately reduce speed if you
detect the slightest swaying movement of the
trailer. Never try to “return the trailer to a
straight position†by accelerating.
Brakes
Brake in due course! If the trailer has an over-
run brake , apply the brakes gently at first and
then, firm ly
. This will prevent the jerking that
can be caused by locking of trailer wheels.
Change to a lower gear in good time before descending a slope in order to take advant-
age of the engine brake.
The trailer is incorporated into the vehicle's
anti-theft alarm system:
â— When the vehicle has a factory-fitted anti-
theft alarm and a towing bracket.
â— When the trailer is electrically connected to
the vehicle via the towing bracket socket.
â— When the vehicle electrical device and the
towing bracket are operational.
â— When the vehicle is locked and the vehi-
cle's anti-theft alarm device is activated.
Once the electrical connection is interrupted
with the vehicle trailer locked, the alarm
sounds.
Always switch off the vehicle anti-theft alarm
device before connecting or disconnecting a
trailer. The vehicle anti-theft alarm device
could cause the alarm to sound ››› page 57,
Anti-theft alarm system*.
Engine overheating
In the event that the coolant temperature
gauge needle moves to the right section of
the scale or to the red area, immediately re-
duce speed. If the control lamp  flashes on
the general instrument panel, stop the vehi-
cle and switch off the engine. Wait several
minutes and check the coolant level in the

The coolant temperature can be reduced by
switching on the heating. WARNING
â— Adjust your speed to suit the road and traf-
fic conditions.
â— An electrical installation that is connected
incorrectly or by non-specialised personnel
can prevent the connection of the current to
the trailer and cause faults in the operation of
the electrical system throughout the entire
vehicle, leading to accidents and serious in-
jury.
â— All electrical work must be carried out only
by specialised services.
â— Never directly connect the trailer electrical
device to the electrical sockets of the reverse
driving lights or other sources of electrical
current. CAUTION
â— Avoid corners, and sudden and sharp brak-
ing.
â— Once the trailing arm has been removed,
place the corresponding cover on the hole of
the fastening point. This prevents dirt from
entering the hole – see the trailer system as-
sembly manual. Note
â— In the event of frequent journeys with a
trailer, we recommend also having the vehi-
cle inspected in between the service inter-
vals.
â— When connecting and disconnecting the
trailer, the handbrake must be applied.
â— For technical reasons, trailers with LED re-
verse lights cannot be incorporated into the
vehicle anti-theft alarm system. Towing bracket device
Introduction If the vehicle is equipped with a towing
bracket device from the factory or is a genu-
ine SEAT accessory, it meets all national tech-
nical and legal requirements for towing.
Your vehicle is fitted with a 13-pin power
socket for the electrical connection between
the trailer and the vehicle. If the towing
bracket is equipped with a
7-pin connector,
y ou c
an use the corresponding available
adaptor that is a genuine SEAT accessory.
The towing device has a maximum vertical
load of 50 kg
. WARNING
â— Before driving with the ball-headed bar fit-
ted, verify its correct assembly and place-
ment in the clamping bush.
â— Do not use the ball-headed bar if it is not
correctly placed and fixed in the clamping
bush.
â— Do not use the towing device for towing if it
is damaged or has missing parts.
â— Do not modify or adapt the towing device
connection.
â— Never disengage the ball-headed bar with
the trailer still hitched. CAUTION
Be careful not to damage the paint on the
bumper when handling the ball-headed bar. 116

Care and maintenance
â—
The modification of the suspension of the
vehicle wheels, including the use of non-per-
mitted combinations of tyres and rims can al-
ter the operation of the airbag system and in-
crease the risk of serious or fatal injuries in
an accident.
â— During all jobs on the airbag system, in ad-
dition to the removal and fitting of parts of
the system in the course of other repair jobs,
parts of the airbag system can be damaged.
Therefore in the event of an accident, this
may cause the airbags to activate incorrectly
or not activate at all. Care and cleaning
Introduction Regular and suitable care helps to
maintain
the useful life of your vehicle. This may also
be one of the requirements for upholding any
warranty claims in the event of corrosion or
paint defects.
We recommend you use cleaning products
from the SEAT Original Accessories pro-
gramme available in SEAT dealers. Please fol-
low the instructions for use on the packag-
ing. WARNING

for car care can damage the health if mis-
used.
â— Always keep car care materials in a safe
place out of the reach of children. Risk of poi-
soning!
â— When washing the car during the winter
season: Moisture and ice on the brakes may
affect braking efficiency. Risk of accident!
â— The ignition must always be switched off
when the car is washed. Risk of accident!
â— Do not clean the underside of the car or in-
side the wheel arches without protecting your
hands and arms. You may cut yourself on
sharp metal parts!
â— Perfumes and air fresheners inside the ve-
hicle may be harmful to health at high tem-
peratures in the interior. CAUTION
â— Check the colour-fastness of your clothing
to avoid damaging or visibly staining the fab-
ric (leather), upholstery and fabric trim.
â— Cleaning products containing solvents may
damage the material being cleaned.
â— Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.
Risk of damage to paintwork.
â— If washing the vehicle with a hose in win-
ter, do not direct the jet of water directly at
the locks or at the door seals or bonnet. Risk
of freezing. â—
Do not use sponges for removing insects or
abrasive household sponges, etc. on painted
surfaces. Risk of damage to the painted sur-
face!
â— Do not put stickers on the inner side of the
rear window in areas where heating elements
or the aerial are located. This could cause
damage and, in the case of the aerial, radio
and navigation system reception faults.
â— Do not clean the inside of the window with
sharp objects or corrosive or acidic cleaning
products. Risk of damaging the heating ele-
ments or the aerial.
â— Do not attach any fragrance or air freshener
to the dash panel. Risk of damage to the

Advice
â—
Make sure you do not damage the paint-
work on the vehicle on removing snow and
ice from the windows and rear vision mirrors.
â— 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:
â— inside the rear window next to the heating
elements,
â— on the roof of the vehicle.
Headlights Use soap and clean, hot water to clean the
front headlights.
CAUTION
â— 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. â—
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
â— Make sure, when washing the vehicle, that
the least amount of water possible enters the
lock cylinders.
â— 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
petrol with the correct RON as soon as possi-
ble.
Petrol with a RON below 91 cannot be used,
ev en a
s an emergency measure. Risk of seri-
ously damaging the engine!
Petrol additives
The quality of the fuel influences the behav-
iour, power and service life of the engine.
This is why the petrol you use should carry
suitable additives already included by the
petrol industry, free of metals. These addi-
tives will help to prevent corrosion, keep the
fuel system clean and prevent deposits from
building up in the engine.
If good-quality petrol with metal-free addi-
tives is not available or engine problems
arise, the necessary additives must be added
when refuelling ››› .
Not all petrol additives have been shown to
be effective. The use of unsuitable petrol ad-
ditives may cause significant damage to the
engine and the catalytic converter. Metal ad-
ditives should never be used. Metal additives
may also be contained in petrol additives for
improving anti-detonation ratings or octane
ratings ››› .
SEAT recommends “genuine Volkswagen
Group Fuel Additives for petrol enginesâ€.
These additives can be bought at SEAT deal-
ers, where information on how to use them
can also be obtained. CAUTION
â— Do not refuel if the filler indicates that the
fuel contains metal. LRP (lead replacement
petrol) fuels contain high concentrations of
metal additives. Using them may damage the
engine!
â— All SEAT vehicles with petrol engines can
only run on unleaded petrol. Refuelling just
once with leaded petrol disables the exhaust
system!
â— Use of petrol with a lower RON to that pre-
scribed could damage the engine compo-
nents.
â— Fuels marked as containing metal on the
garage fuel pump cannot be used. Risk of
damage to most engine parts or the exhaust
system!
â— The use of unsuitable additives in petrol
can cause damage to most engine parts or
the exhaust system. Diesel fuel
Your vehicle can only run on
diesel fuel that
complies with the Standard EN 590 (in Ger-
m an
y, also DIN 51628, in Austria also
ÖNORM C 1590 , in Russia also GOST R
52368-2005/EN 590:2004).
Wint
er driving – winter-grade diesel
In winter use diesel fuel that complies with
the Standard EN 590
(in Germany, also DIN 51628, in Austria also ÖNORM C 1590
, in
Russia also
GOST R 52368-2005/EN
590:2004). “Winter-grade diesel†still per-
forms well at -20 °C (-4 °F).
In countries with other weather conditions,
diesel is often available that behaves differ-
ently with regards to the temperature. The
authorised SEAT dealers and petrol stations
in each country will inform you on the normal
diesel fuel of the country in question.
Preheating the fuel filter
The vehicle is fitted with a glow plug system
for the fuel filter. Therefore, the reliability of
the diesel is ensured at ambient tempera-
tures of down to approximately -25 °C
(-13 °F).
Fuel additives
Fuel additives, known as “thinners†(petrol or
similar substances) should not be mixed with
the diesel fuel. CAUTION
â— Even one tankful of diesel fuel that does
not comply with the standard could damage
engine parts, the fuel system and the ex-
haust system!
â— If fuel different to the prescribed diesel fuel
(e.g. petrol) is used by mistake, never start
the engine or switch on the ignition! Risk of » 131

››› 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
â— Anti-freeze that does not correspond to the
correct specification may particularly affect
corrosion protection considerably.
â— Faults caused by corrosion may lead to
coolant leaks. Risk of serious engine faults! 137
