Care and maintenance
Natural leather Leather should be looked after from time to
time, depending on its
u
se.
Normal cleaning
Moisten a cotton or woollen cloth with water
and wipe over the leather surfaces.
More stubborn dirt
Do not let water soak through the leather or
penetrate the seams.
Dry it with a soft, dry cloth.
Removing stains
Remove fresh water-based stains such as cof-
fee, tea, juices, blood, etc. with an absorbent
cloth or kitchen roll. Use the special deter-
gent to clean dried-on stains.
Remove fresh fat-based stains such as but-
ter, mayonnaise, chocolate, etc. with an ab-
sorbent cloth or paper towel or use the spe-
cial detergent if the stain has not yet soaked
through the surface.
Use a grease-dissolving product to treat
dried-in, fat-based stains.
Treat less common stains such as ball-pen
and other inks, felt-tip pens, nail polish,
emulsion paint, shoe cream etc. with a spe-
cial leather stain remover. Leather care
The le
ather shou

ld be treated regularly
(about twice a year) with a leather-care prod-
uct.
Apply the protective product very sparingly.
Dry the leather with a soft, dry cloth. CAUTION
● Av oid e

xposing leather to direct sunlight
for long periods so that it does not lose its
colour. If the car is left for a prolonged period
outdoors, cover the leather so that it does
not lose its colour.
● Sharp-edged objects on clothing, such as
zips, riv
ets or belts can leave permanent
scratches and rough marks on the surface of
the leather.
● Use of a mechanical steering wheel lock
can dam
age the leather surface of the steer-
ing wheel. Note
● Use a s uit

able impregnating cream with ul-
tra-violet protection at regular intervals and
after cleaning. The cream will nourish and
moisturise the leather, keep it supple and
able to breathe. In addition, it will also help
to protect the surface of the leather.
● Clean the leather every 2 to 3 months and
remov
e fresh dirt as necessary. ●
Pre ser

ve the colour of the leather. A special
coloured cream for leather will renew the col-
our of more heavily worn areas as required.
● Leather is a natural material with specific
propertie
s. During vehicle use, the appear-
ance of parts of the leather covers may
change; folds or wrinkles may appear as a re-
sult of their use. Seat belts
Keep the seat belts clean!
W
a
sh soi

led seat belts with mild, soapy wa-
ter, removing any heavier dirt with a soft
brush.
Check the condition of all seat belts at regu-
lar intervals.
Very soiled belts may not retract properly. WARNING
● The seat belt

s should never be removed
from the vehicle for cleaning.
● Never clean using chemical products, as
chemica
l detergents destroy the fabric. En-
sure that the seat belts do not come into con-
tact with corrosive fluids such as acids, etc.
● If you find any damage to the belt webbing,
belt fitting
s, the belt retractor or the buckle,
the belt in question must be replaced by an
Official Service. » 199

fications as of ››› page 221. Note
The layout of the engine compartment is very
simi l

ar to all petrol and diesel engines. Radiator fan
The radiator is driven by an electric motor
and c
ontr
o

lled according to the temperature
of the coolant.
After the engine has been stopped and the
ignition switched off, the radiator fan may
continue running for around 10 minutes. Engine oil
General
notes The engine comes with a special, multi-grade
oil
th

at can be used all year round.
Because the use of high-quality 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.
The specifications (VW standards) set out in
the following page should appear on the con-
tainer of the service oil; when the container
displays the specific standards for petrol and
diesel engines together, it means that the oil
can be used for both types of engines.
We recommend that the oil change indicated
in the Maintenance Programme, be

shop.
The correct oil specifications for your engine
are listed in the ›››
 page 40.
Service intervals
Service intervals can be flexible (LongLife
service) or fixed (dependent on time/dis-
tance travelled).
If the PR code that appears on the back of the
Maintenance Programme booklet is PR QI6,
this means that your vehicle has the LongLife
service programmed. If it lists the codes QI1,
QI2, QI3, QI4 or QI7, the interval service is
dependent on time/distance travelled.
Flexible service intervals (LongLife service
intervals*)
Special oils and processes have been devel-
oped which, depending on the characteris-
tics and individual driving profiles, enable
the extension of the oil change service (Long-
Life service intervals).
Because this oil is essential for extending the
service intervals, it must only be used ob-
serving the following indications:
● Avoid mixing it with oil for fixed service in-
terv
als.
● Only in exceptional circumstances, if the
engine oi l

level is too low ››› page 207 and
LongLife oil is not available, it is permitted to top up (once) with oil for
fixed ser
vice inter-
vals ›››
 page 40 (up to a maximum of 0.5
litres).
Fixed service intervals*
If your vehicle does not have the “LongLife
service interval” or it has been disabled (by
request), you may use oils for fixed service
intervals, which also appear in
›››  page 40. In this case, your vehicle
must be serviced after a fixed interval of 1
year/15,000 km (10,000 miles)(whatever
comes first) ››› Booklet Maintenance Pro-
gramme.
● In exceptional circumstances, if the engine
oil l
evel is too low ››› page 207 and you can-
not obtain the oil specified for your vehicle,
you can add a small quantity of oil conform-
ing to the specification ACEA A2 or ACEA A3
(petrol engines) or ACEA B3 or ACEA B4 (die-
sel engines) (up to 0.5 l).
Vehicles with diesel particulate filter*
The Maintenance Programme states whether
your vehicle is fitted with a diesel particulate
filter.
Only VW 507 00 engine oil, with reduced ash
formation, may be used in diesel engines
equipped with particulate filter. Using other
types of oil will cause a higher soot concen-
tration and reduce the life of the DPF. There-
fore: ●
Avoid mi
xing this oil with other engine oils.
● Only in exceptional circumstances, if the
engine oil
level is too low ››› page 207 and
you cannot obtain the oil specified for your
vehicle, you can use a small quantity of oil
(once) conforming to the VW 506 00,
VW 506 01, VW 505 00, VW 505 01 or
ACEA B3/ACEA B4 specification. (up to 0.5 l). Note
Before a long trip, we recommend finding an
engine oi l

that conforms to the correspond-
ing VW specifications and recommend keep-
ing it in the vehicle. This way, the correct en-
gine oil will always be available for a top-up if
needed. Checking engine oil level

Checking oil level
– Park the vehicle on a level surface and en-
sure the en

gine is at operating tempera-
ture.
– Switch the ignition off.
– Open the bonnet.
– Wait a few minutes for the engine oil to
flow bac

k to the sump and remove the dip-
stick.
– Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth and in-
sert it

again as far as it will go.
– Then pull the dipstick out again and check
the oil l

evel.
It is normal for the engine to consume a cer-
tain amount of oil. Depending on how you
drive and the conditions in which the vehicle
is used, oil consumption can be up to 0.5 li-
tres per 1,000 km. Oil consumption can also
be higher for the first 5,000 km (3000 miles).
You should therefore check the oil level at
regular intervals, ideally every time you fill
the tank or before setting off on a long trip. CAUTION
● The oil l

evel must never exceed area A ›››
Fig. 207. Risk of damage to the exhaust
system!
● If the engine oil cannot be topped up under
the given condition
s,  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

Type plate
The model plate is located at the bottom of
the front driver side door pillar between the
front and rear doors.
The type plate indicates the following
weights:
● Total permitted weight of the vehicle when
loaded
● M

aximum authorised weight of the vehicle
with a trai
ler, when the vehicle operates as a
tractor
● Maximum permitted load of the front axle
● Maximum permitted load of the rear axle
Weight in ru
nning order
The weight in running order only has one ap-
proximate value. This value corresponds to
the minimum operative weight of the vehicle
without additional equipment that increases
its weight, i.e. air conditioning, spare wheel,
towing bracket.
The running order weight also includes 75 kg
of the weight of the driver and service fluids,
in addition to a fuel tank at 90% capacity.
From the difference between the total permit-
ted weight in running order the approximate
carrying capacity can be calculated ››› .
7 The carrying capacity must include:
●
occupants,
● all pieces of equipment and other weights,
● roof loads including the roof rack,
● equipment that is not included in the run-
nin g or
der w

eight,
● when using the towing bracket, the draw-
bar loa
d (max. 50 kg)
Calculating fuel consumption and CO 2 emis-
sions according to the ECE regulations and
the EU specifications
Calculation of fuel consumption for urban
driving begins when cold-starting the engine.
Then, normal city driving is simulated.
In calculating extra-urban driving fuel con-
sumption, braking and acceleration is done
in all gears, as in daily use of the vehicle.
Driving speed varies within a range of 0 and
120 km/h (75 mph).
The consumption value in combined driving
is composed of 37% of the value of urban
driving and 63% of the value of extra-urban
driving. WARNING
The maximum permitted weight values must
not be e x

ceeded – Risk of an accident and
damage to the vehicle! 222

Note
● If y
ou wish to calculate the exact weight of
your vehicle please contact a SEAT dealer.
● Depending on the volume of equipment,
driving s
tyle, road conditions, weather condi-
tions and the condition of the vehicle, con-
sumption values can differ from the theoreti-
cal values stated here. Information on fuel consump-
tion
Fuel c

onsumption The consumption and emission details
sho
wn on the
v

ehicle data sticker differ from
one vehicle to another.
Vehicle fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions
appear on the vehicle data sticker in the
spare wheel well, inside the boot and on the
rear cover of the Maintenance Programme.
The fuel consumption and CO 2 emission val-
ues refer to the weight category assigned to
your vehicle according to the engine and
gearbox combination, as well as the specific
equipment fitted, and is only used to com-
pare between the different models.
The fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions do
not depend only on the performance of the
vehicle, they can also differ from the estab- lished values depending on other factors
such a

s driving style, road conditions, traffic
conditions, environmental conditions, load
and number of passengers.
Calculation of fuel consumption
The consumption values have been calcula-
ted based on measurements performed or
supervised by certified CE laboratories ac-
cording to the latest version of directives
715/2007/EC and 80/1268/CEE (for more in-
formation consult the European Union Publi-
cations Office at EUR-Lex: © European Union,
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/en/index.htm) and
are valid for the kerb weight indicated for the
vehicle. Note
In practice, and considering all the factors
mentioned here, c on

sumption values can dif-
fer from those calculated in the current Euro-
pean regulations. Weights
Kerb weight refers to the basic model with a
f
uel
t

ank filled to 90% capacity and without
optional extras. The figure quoted includes
75 kg to allow for the weight of the driver.
Special versions, optional equipment fittings
or retro-fitting accessories will increase the
weight of the vehicle ››› . WARNING
● Ple a

se note that the centre of gravity may
shift when transporting heavy objects; this
may affect vehicle handling and lead to an ac-
cident. Always adjust your speed and driving
style to suit road conditions and require-
ments.
● Never exceed the gross axle weight rating
or the gros
s vehicle weight rating. If the per-
missible axle load or the permissible total
weight is exceeded, the driving characteris-
tics of the vehicle may change, which could
lead to accidents, injuries and damage to the
vehicle. Driving with a trailer
