mum force.
Press the button again to reduce the force of
the heating and switch it off. The force is indi-
cated by the number of warning lamps lit on

Do not use the heated seat if your perception
of p ain and/or t

emperature or that of your
passenger is limited, e.g. due to medication,
paralysis or chronic illness (e.g. diabetes). It
could cause burns on the back, buttocks and
legs that are difficult to heal. If you still want
to use the heated seat, take frequent breaks
on long journeys so that the body can recover
from the trip. Ask your doctor about your par-
ticular situation. CAUTION
● To av oid d

amaging the heating elements,
do not kneel on the seat or apply sharp pres-
sure at a single point to the seat cushion or
backrest.
● Do not use the heated seats if nobody is
sitting on them or if
there are items attached
to or lying on them, such as a child seat or a bag, etc. This could lead to a fault in the seat
heatin

● On ly c

onnect the heated seats when the
engine is running. This provides considerable
savings on the battery capacity.
● In the event of a drop in voltage in the on-
board sy
stems, the heated seats switch off
automatically to ensure enough power to con-
trol the engine ››› page 214, Automatic dis-

Transport and practical equipment
Roof rack* Intr oduction WARNING
● The loa d on the r
oof carrier must be proper-
ly secured. Risk of accident!
● Always secure the load using retaining
strap
s that are in good condition.
● Distribute the load evenly.
● When transporting heavy or large objects
on the roof, an
y change in normal vehicle be-
haviour due to a change in the centre of gravi-
ty or increased wind resistance must be taken
into account. Risk of accident! For this rea-
son, speed and driving style must be adjus-
ted for the situation.
● Avoid sudden manoeuvres and braking.
● Adjust your driving style to suit visibility,
the weather and r
oad and traffic conditions.
● Never exceed the allowed axle loads or al-
lowed m
aximum weight. Risk of accident! CAUTION
● Only u

se SEAT-authorised roof carriers.
● Where roof carriers from other systems are
used or where they
are not fitted properly,
any damage caused to the vehicle will not be
covered by the warranty. Therefore, carefully
follow the Instruction Manual for installation
of the roof carrier. ●
Remember th at

the rear lid must not hit the
roof load.
● The total height of the vehicle increases ac-
cordin
g to the roof load. Compare the height
of the vehicle with the heights of bridges or
other underpasses, for example, the height
of the garage door.
● Do not forget to remove the roof carrier be-
fore ent
ering an automatic carwash.
● Take into account that the load must not
damag
e the aerial located on the roof. For the sake of the environment
If aerodynamic resistance increases, fuel con-
sumption w i

ll also increase. Attachment points

Driving tips Driv in
g thr
ough flooded roadsFig. 180
Driving through water. To prevent the vehicle from being damaged
when driv
in
g thr

ough water (i.e. flooded
roads), please observe the following:
● Determine the depth of the water before
entering.
Water can reach a maximum height
of below the door sill ››› Fig. 180.
● Drive 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.
● Never stop in the water, never reverse and
never st
op the engine.
● Before driving through water deactivate the
Start
-Stop system ››› page 181. WARNING
● Drivin g thr

ough water, dirt and mud can re-
duce braking capability and prolong the brak-
ing distance – Risk of accident!
● Do not carry out any sudden or strong brak-
ing manoeu
vres after driving through water.
● Clean and dry the brakes as soon as possi-
ble af
ter 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. CAUTION
● In the event of

driving through water, parts
of the vehicle can be seriously damaged,
such as the engine, gearbox, catalytic con-
verter, suspension or the electrical system.
● Oncoming vehicles that drive through wa-
ter can c
ause waves that exceed your vehi-
cle's permitted level for driving through wa-
ter.
● There may be pot-holes mud or rocks under
the water th
at can hinder or prevent driving
through water.
● Do not drive through salt water. The salt
can cau
se rust. All components that are ex-
posed to salt water must be rinsed immedi-
ately with fresh water. Note
After driving through water we recommend
that

you contact a specialised service for an
inspection. Preventing damage to the vehicle
In order to prevent damage to the vehicle,
tak
e s

pecial care:
● on roads that are in poor condition,
● when mounting kerbs,
● when approaching very steep ramps, etc.,
● with the parts of the vehicle situated on the
low er p

art of the vehicle, i.e. the spoiler, the
exhaust pipe.
This applies especially to vehicles with a very
low suspension (sport) and when the vehicle
is fully loaded. 166

Wheels and tyres
Unusual vibration or the car pulling to one
s ide m
a
y indicate that one of the tyres is
damaged. Reduce speed immediately and
stop if you suspect that a wheel may have
been damaged! Check the tyres for damage
(blisters, cracks, etc.). If no external damage
is visible, drive slowly and carefully to the
nearest Official Service and have the vehicle
inspected.
Changing wheels Fig. 215
Interchanging tyres. Changing wheels around
If
the w
e

ar is visibly greater on the front tyres,
they should be exchanged for the rear tyres
as shown in the diagram ››› Fig. 215. All the
tyres will then last for about the same time.
To ensure that the wear is equal on all tyres
and maintain their optimum useful life, they
should be changed around every 10 000 km. Storing tyres
When you r

emove the tyres, mark them in or-
der to maintain the same direction of rotation
when they are installed again.
When removed, the wheels and/or tyres
should be stored in a cool, dry and preferably
dark location. Store tyres in a vertical posi-
tion, if they are not fitted on wheel rims.
New tyres or wheels All four wheels must be fitted only with tyres
of
the s
ame type, s

ize and the same tread
pattern.
The correct tyre/wheel combinations speci-
fied for your vehicle are listed in its docu-
mentation.
Understanding the tyre designations makes
it easier to choose the correct tyres. The tyre
designation is marked on the sidewall. For
example.
