Checking and refilling levels
Water in the fuel filter 1)
If
y
our vehicle has a diesel engine and is
equipped with a fuel filter with a water sepa-
rator, the instrument panel may display the
following warning:  Water in the
fuel filter. If this is the case, take the
vehicle to a specialised workshop so that
they can drain the fuel filter.
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
● Ev en one t

ankful of diesel fuel that does
not comply with the standard could damage
engine parts, the fuel system and the ex-
haust system!
● Your vehicle is not designed to use biodie-
sel fuel
. Never, under any circumstances re-
fuel with biodiesel. The use of biodiesel fuel
could damage the engine and the fuel sys-
tem. The addition of biodiesel to diesel fuel by the diesel manufacturer in accordance
with s
t

andard EN 590 or DIN 51628 is author-
ised and will not cause damage.
● The diesel engine has been designed to be
used ex
clusively with diesel fuel conforming
to standard EN 590. Never refuel or use pet-
rol, kerosene, fuel oil or any other type of
fuel. If you accidentally fill up the vehicle
with the wrong type of fuel, do not start the
engine. Seek assistance from specialised per-
sonnel. The composition of these fuels may
severely damage the fuel system and the en-
gine. Water allowed to collect in the fuel filter
can cause engine faults. Engine compartment

are not to cause short circuits in the
electrical system, especially when working
on the battery.
● Never touch the radiator fan when the en-
gine is hot
. The fan may start running sud-
denly!
● Never cover the engine with additional in-
sul
ating materials such as a blanket. Risk of
fire!
● Do not unscrew the cap on the coolant ex-
pans
ion tank when the engine is hot. The
cooling system is under pressure!
● Protect face, hands and arms from any hot
ste
am or hot coolant released by covering the
cap with a large, thick rag when opening the
expansion tank.
● Do not leave any objects, such as cloths or
tool
s, in the engine compartment.
● When working underneath the vehicle, se-
cure it
so that it cannot roll away and support
it safely on suitable supports. The hydraulic
jack is not sufficient for this purpose. Risk of
injuries!
● If any tests have to be performed with the
engine runnin
g, there is an extra safety risk
from rotating parts, such as the drive belt, al-
ternator and radiator fan, etc., and from the
high-voltage ignition system. You should also
note the following:
– Never touch the electrical wiring of the
ignition system.
– Keep away from moving engine parts
when wearing jewellery, loose clothing or
long hair. Risk of fatal injuries! All jewel- lery must be removed, hair tied back and
clo
se-fittin

g clothing worn.
● Observe the following additional warnings
if work
on the fuel system or the electrical
system is necessary.
–Always disconnect the battery from the
on-board network.
– Do not smoke.
– Never work near naked flames.
– Always keep an approved fire extinguish-
er immediately available. CAUTION
● When top pin

g up fluids, make sure the cor-
rect fluid is put into the correct filler opening.
Otherwise this can cause serious malfunc-
tions or engine damage!
● Never open the bonnet using the release
catc
h. Risk of damage! For the sake of the environment
Due to the environmentally-friendly disposal
of fluid s, the equipment

necessary and the
knowledge required, let an authorised SEAT

The dipstick shows the engine oil level.
››› Fig. 207.
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

h the ignition off.
– Open the bonnet ›››
page 203.
– Read off the coolant level on coolant ex-
pans

ion tank ››› Fig. 208. When the engine
is cold, the coolant should be between
marks B (min.) and
A (max.). When the
en gine i
s

hot, it may be slightly above mark
A (max.).
If the c
oo

lant fluid level in the reservoir is too
low, this will be indicated by the  red warn-
ing lamp illuminating on the general dash
panel ››› page 100, Coolant level and temper-
ature  . However, we recommend checking
the coolant level directly in the tank.
Coolant fluid loss
Any loss of coolant normally indicates a leak.
It is not sufficient merely to top up the cool-
ant. The cooling system should be inspected
by an Official Service without delay. CAUTION
● In the event of

a fault that causes the en-
gine to overheat, contact an authorised SEAT
dealer immediately, as this could damage the
engine.
● Anti-freeze that does not correspond to the
correct
specification may particularly affect
corrosion protection considerably.
● Faults caused by corrosion may lead to
cool
ant leaks. Risk of serious engine faults! Topping up the coolant level
–
Switch the ignition off.
– Wait for the engine to cool down.
– Cover the cap on the coolant expansion
tank ›

›› Fig. 208 with a cloth and carefully
unscrew the cap.
– Refill the level of coolant.
– Screw the cap on again until it clicks into
plac

e.
Do not use a different type of additive if the
prescribed anti-freeze additive is not availa-
ble, in the event of an emergency. In this
case, use only water and bring the coolant
concentration back up to the correct level as
soon as possible at an Official Service.
Always top up with unused coolant.
Never fill the coolant tank above mark A (max.)
››

Fig. 208 Excess coolant is forced
out of the cooling system through the over-
pressure valve in the filler cap of the expan-
sion tank when the engine heats up. WARNING
● The anti-freez e a

dditive and, therefore, the
entire coolant, are a health hazard. Avoid
touching the coolant. Coolant fumes are also
a health hazard. For this reason, always store
the coolant additive in a safe place out of the
reach of children. Risk of poisoning! ●
If s p

lashed into eyes, rinse immediately
with clean water and seek immediate medical
attention.
● Seek immediate medical attention if the
cool
ant is accidentally ingested. CAUTION
If the coolant cannot be topped up under the
giv en c ondition

s,  do not drive on. We rec-
ommend contacting an authorised SEAT deal-
er, as this can damage the engine. Brake fluid

The brake fluid reservoir is located in the en-
gine c omp
ar
tment of the vehicle.
– Switch the ignition off.
– Open the bonnet ›››
page 203.
– Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir
›››
Fig. 209. It should be between the “MIN”
and “MAX” marks.
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 99, Brake system . WARNING
● If the fluid l ev

el has dropped below the MIN
mark,  do not continue driving. Risk of acci-
dent! Go to a technical service.
● Heavy use of the brakes may cause a va-
pour lock if
the brake fluid is left in the brake
system for too long. This would seriously af-
fect the efficiency of the brakes and the safe-
ty of the vehicle. Changing the brake fluid
Brake fluid absorbs moisture. Therefore, it
gra
dual

ly 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 CAUTION
