. Avoid high engine speeds, hard acceleration and subjecting the engine to
high load
s.
If the warning lamp (red) is lit up or flash-
ing, the coolant temperature is too high or its
level is too low.
The informative display indicates:
Check coolant! Instruction Man-
ual!
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, check
the coolant level ››› page 210 and refill if
necessary ››› page 211.
If the coolant is situated in the prescribed
area, the high temperature may be due to a
fault in the cooling system fan. Check the ra-
diator fan fuse and replace it if necessary
››› page 44.
If the warning lamp (red) remains lit up,
despite both the coolant level and the radia-
tor fan fuse being in correct condition,
stop the vehicle!
Go to a technical service. WARNING
● Tak e c

Checking and refilling levels
– Re
a
d off the coolant level on coolant ex-
pansion tank ››› Fig. 207. 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 210, Control lamp . However,
we recommend checking the coolant level di-
rectly 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. 207 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. 207 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 204.
– Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir
›››
Fig. 208. 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 157, Control lamp .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

Checking and refilling levels
therefore recommend using clean water with
a gl a
s
s cleaning product to eliminate any
stubborn dirt (with an anti-freeze additive in
winter).
Although your vehicle has heated windscreen
washer jets, anti-freeze should always be
added to the water in winter.
Ethanol can be used where glass cleaner with
anti-freeze is unavailable. The concentration
of ethanol must be no greater than 15 %.
However, remember that anti-freeze in this
proportion only protects down to -5°C
(+23°F). CAUTION
● Never mi x
the windscreen washing water
with anti-freeze used for the cooling system
or other additives.
● If the vehicle is equipped with a headlight
washer sy
stem, only mix in with the water a
detergent that does not damage polycarbon-
ates. Note
When topping up the fluid, do not move the
filt er fr
om the container opening, as this
could contaminate the fluid hoses and lead to
a windscreen washer malfunction. Battery

Warning symbols on the battery
Always wear safety glasses!
Battery acid is extremely corrosive. Always wear
gloves and hearing protection!
Keep open flames, sparks, uncovered lights
and lit cigarettes away when working on the
battery!
A highly explosive mixture of gases is released
when the battery is under charge!
Keep children away from the battery!
Incorrect handling of the vehicle battery
c
ou
l
d lead to damage. We therefore recom-
mend all work on the vehicle battery be per-
formed by an authorised SEAT dealer.
Always be aware of the danger of injury and
scalding as well as the risk of accident or fire
when working on the battery and the electri-
cal system. Therefore, always observe the
warnings and follow all general safety pre-
cautions. WARNING
● Batt er
y acid is very corrosive, therefore, the
battery must be handled with the utmost
care. Wear protective gloves and protect your
eyes and skin when handling batteries. The
corrosive fumes in the air irritate and inflame
the respiratory tract and cause conjunctivitis.
It corrodes tooth enamel. Causes deep and
difficult-to-heal wounds when it comes in
contact with the skin. Repeated contact with
diluted acids causes skin disease (inflamma-
tion, ulcers and fissures). When in contact
with water, acids dilute and develop a great
deal of heat.
● Do not tilt the battery, as acid could leak
out of the
vapour vents. Protect your eyes
with glasses or a protective helmet! Risk of
blindness! If acid should splash into the
eyes, rinse the affected eye immediately for
several minutes using clean water. Then seek
medical care immediately.
● Neutralize any acid splashes on the skin or
clothing w
ith soap solution as quickly as pos-
sible and rinse off with plenty of water. If acid
is swallowed by mistake, consult a doctor im-
mediately.
● Keep children away from the battery.
● Hydrogen is released and a highly explo-
sive mi
xture of gases is generated when the
battery is under charge. Sparks when discon-
necting or releasing cable terminals with the
ignition switched on could also cause an ex-
plosion. » 213

Advice
●
A short c
ircuit is produced if the battery ter-
minals are bridged, e.g. using metal objects,
cables, etc. Possible consequences of a short
circuit: melting of lead plates, battery explo-
sion and fire, splashing acid.
● The following is forbidden while working on
the batter
y: fire and open flames, smoking
and activities that could produce sparks.
Avoid causing sparks when handling cables
or electrical apparatus. Risk of injury in the
event of large sparks.
● Before working on the electrical system,
you mus
t switch off the engine, the ignition
and all electrical components and disconnect
the cable from the negative terminal (-) of the
battery. To change a bulb, simply switch off
the corresponding light.
● Never charge a frozen or thawed out bat-
tery
. Risk of explosion and acid burns! Re-
place a frozen battery.
● Never use the jump leads on batteries in
which the electr
olyte level is too low. Risk of
explosion and acid burns!
● Never use a damaged battery. Risk of ex-
plos
ion! Replace a damaged battery immedi-
ately. CAUTION
● Never di s
connect the battery when the igni-
tion is switched on, as the electrical system
(electronic components) of the vehicle could
be damaged. When disconnecting the battery
from the vehicle electrical system, disconnect its negative terminal (-) first. Only then may
the pos
itiv
e terminal (+) be disconnected.
● When connecting the battery, first connect
the positiv
e terminal (+) and then the nega-
tive terminal (-). The battery cables must nev-
er be connected to the wrong battery termi-
nals. Risk of burning the electrical installa-
tion!
● Make sure the battery acid does not come
into cont
act with the bodywork. Risk of paint-
work damage.
● Do not expose the battery to direct sunlight
to prot
ect it from ultraviolet radiation.
● If the vehicle is not used for 3 or 4 weeks,
the batter
y could run flat. This is because
some components use electricity even in
standby mode (e.g. control units). Prevent the
battery from running flat by disconnecting its
negative terminal or leave it charging at a low
current.
● If you frequently use the vehicle for short
trips, the batt
ery may not fully charge and
could run flat. For the sake of the environment
A flat battery is particularly harmful waste for
the env ir
onment. It must therefore be dis-
posed of according to current local law. Note
Replace a battery once it is older than 5
ye ar
s. Control lamp
If the
control lamp is illuminated while the
en gine i
s running, the battery is not charg-
ing.
Go to a technical service. Have the car's elec-
trical equipment inspected. CAUTION
Additionally, if the warning lamp lights up
whi
le driving, the warning lamp also lights
up (cooling system fault). Stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine – Risk of engine
damage! Lifting the battery cover

Introduction WARNING
● Durin g the fir
st 500 km, new tyres do not
give maximum grip, therefore you should
drive carefully. Risk of accident!
● Never drive with damaged tyres. Risk of ac-
cident!
● Only
use wheels and tyres that been au-
thorised by
SEAT or your vehicle model. Fail-
ure to do so could impair road safety. Risk of
accident!
● Never exceed the maximum speed permit-
ted for
your tyres. Risk of accident due to tyre
damage and loss of vehicle control!
● Under-inflated tyres are submitted to great-
er rol
ling resistance. This means that they
can overheat at high speeds. This can cause
tread separation and even tyre blow-out.
● For driving safety, tyres should be replaced
at le
ast in pairs according to the axle and not
individually. The tyres with the deepest tread
should always be used on the front wheels.
● Never fit used tyres of an unknown age or
prior use.
● Ty
res must be immediately changed at the
very
latest when they have worn down to the
tread wear indicators. ●
Worn ty r
es reduce the necessary grip at
high speeds on damp surfaces. This could
lead to “aquaplaning” (uncontrolled vehicle
movement –“skidding” on damp surfaces).
● Damaged wheels and tyres must be re-
plac
ed immediately.
● Do not use summer or winter tyres that are
more than 6 or 4
years old respectively.
● Wheel bolts should be clean and screw
eas
ily. However, they must never be treated
with grease or oil.
● If the tightening torque of the wheel bolts
is t
oo low, they could loosen while the vehi-
cle is moving. Risk of accident! If the tighten-
ing torque of the wheel bolts is too high, the
bolts and threads could be damaged, leading
to the permanent deforming of the rim sup-
port surfaces.
● Incorrectly handled wheel bolts could lead
to a wheel c
oming loose while the vehicle is
moving. Risk of accident!
● Observe the national legal requirements re-
gardin
g the use of snow tyres and chains. CAUTION
● Where a s p
are wheel that is not compatible
with the wheels fitted is used, follow the in-
structions ››› page 220.
● The prescribed tightening torque for wheel
bolts
on steel and alloy wheels is 120 Nm.
● Protect your tyres from coming into contact
with oil, gr
ease and fuel.
● Replace any lost valve caps immediately. For the sake of the environment
Under-inflated tyres increases fuel consump-
tion. Note
● We r ec
ommend having all work on tyres
and wheels carried out by an authorised SEAT
dealer.
● We recommend using wheels, tyres, hub
caps
and snow chains from the SEAT Original
Accessories programme. 217

means, for example, that the tyre was pro-
duc ed in the 27th w
eek

Follow the instructions ››› page 220 if you
only have a temporary spare wheel. Note
A SEAT Service Centre should be consulted to
find out whether wheel s
or tyres of different
sizes to those originally fitted by SEAT can be
fitted, and to find out about the combinations
allowed between the front axle (axle 1) and
the rear axle (axle 2). Tyres with directional tread pattern
The direction of rotation is indicated by the
arr
o
w
s on the tyre sidewall . The direction of
rotation indicated must be respected. This
guarantees optimum grip and helps avoid ex-
cessive noise, wear and aquaplaning.
In the event of a flat tyre, a spare wheel with
an undetermined tread pattern or an oppo-
site tread pattern must be used and you must
drive carefully, as in these cases the tyres no
longer offer maximum performance. Spare wheel
Spar
e wheel location* Fig. 215
Luggage compartment: spare wheel. The spare wheel is housed in a well under
the floor p
anel
in the lug
gage compartment
and is secured by a special bolt ››› Fig. 215.
Take out the tool box before removing the
spare wheel.
The tyre pressure of the spare wheel must be
checked (preferably whenever the tyre pres-
sure is checked – see sticker on fuel tank flap
››› page 218) to ensure the spare wheel re-
mains ready for use.
If the spare wheel is not the same size or de-
sign as the tyres that are mounted on the car
(for example if the car has winter tyres or
tyres with direction tread), only use the spare
tyre for a short period of time in the event of breakdown and drive with the corresponding
care
›
›› .
It mu
s
t be replaced as soon as possible for a
wheel with a normal size and finish.
Temporary spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with a temporary
spare wheel, there will be a warning sign on
the rim of the wheel.
Follow the instructions below when driving
with this wheel fitted.
● After fitting the wheel, the warning sign
must
not be covered.
● Do not drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph)
with the sp
are wheel and take great care
while driving. Avoid heavy acceleration, hard
braking and fast cornering.
● The tyre pressure is the same as that of the
stand
ard tyres.
● Only use this spare wheel to reach the
neare
st Official Service, as it is not designed
for permanent use. WARNING
● Under no cir c
umstances must damaged
spare wheels be used.
● If the spare wheel is different in size or de-
sign to the ty
res currently fitted, never drive
faster than 80 km/h (50 mph). Avoid heavy
acceleration, hard braking and fast cornering. 220

Wheels and tyres
CAUTION
Follow the instructions given on the tempora-
ry s
pare wheel label. Note
The tyre pressure of the spare wheel must al-
wa y
s correspond to the highest pressure pre-
scribed for the model of vehicle in question. Tyre monitoring systems
Ty r
e pressure* The tyre pressure monitoring system uses
ABS
sen
sor
s to compare the revolutions and
the circumference of each wheel. Should the
circumference of any wheel change, the
warning lamp on the general instrument
panel will light up and an audible warning
will be heard.
Tyre circumference may change if:
● Tyre pressure is too low
● Tyre structure is damaged
● Vehicle load not evenly distributed
● wheels on one axle are subjected to greater
load, (e.
g. driving with trailer, uphill, down-
hill);
● Snow chains are fitted
● The temporary spare wheel is fitted ●
One wheel on the axl
e has been changed
Basic system settings
Should the tyre pressure change or if one or
more wheels are changed or the position of
the wheel on the vehicle is changed, e.g.
changing round the front and rear wheels, or
where a warning lamp lights up when driv-
ing, the system must be adjusted as follows: ● Inflate all tyres to the prescribed pressures
›››
page 218.
● Switch the ignition on.
● Store the new tyre pressure in the Easy
Connect sy
stem with the button and the
S ET
TINGS function button
››
›
page 21.
● In vehicles without radio : pres
s and hold
down the button with the ignition on,
until an acoustic signal is heard.
The warning lamp lights up
If the pressure on at least one tyre is signifi-
cantly lower than the pressure set by the driv-
er, the warning lamp will light up ››› .
The w arnin
g l
amp flashes
If the warning lamp flashes, there is a fault in
the system. Contact a specialised service to
have it fixed. WARNING
● If the w arnin
g lamp lights up, slow down
immediately and avoid any severe braking or
steering manoeuvres. Stop and check the
tyres and their pressure as soon as possible.
● Under certain conditions (e.g. sporty driv-
ing styl
e, driving on loose surfaces or in win-
ter) the warning lamp may take a while to
light up or may remain switched off.
● Despite the tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem, the driver r
emains responsible for main-
taining the correct tyre pressure. You must
therefore check the tyre pressure often. Note
● The tyr e pr
essure monitoring system is not
a replacement for regularly checking the tyre
pressure, as it is unable to recognise an even
drop in pressure.
● The tyre pressure monitoring system is un-
able t
o warn of a sudden drop in tyre pres-
sure, e.g. a puncture. In this case, try to stop
the vehicle carefully with no severe braking
or steering manoeuvres.
● To ensure the tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem work
s correctly, the basic setting must
be performed every 10 000 km (6000 miles)
or once a year.
● If the battery is disconnected the warning
lamp lights
up when the ignition is switch-
ed on. This warning lamp must switch off af-
ter covering a short distance. 221

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 c
omposed 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! Note
● If y
ou wish to calculate the exact weight of
your vehicle please contact a SEAT dealer.
● Depending on the volume of equipment,

Fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions depend
on the equipment/features of each individual
vehicle, as well as on the driving style, road
conditions, traffic conditions, environmental
conditions, load or number of passengers. Note
In practice, and considering all the factors
mentioned here, c on

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
Tr
ai
ler weights Trailer weight
The tr
ai
l
er weights and drawbar loads ap-
proved are selected in intensive trials accord-
ing to precisely defined criteria. The ap-
proved trailer weights are valid for vehicles in
the EU for maximum speeds of 80 km/h (50
mph) (in certain circumstances up to 100
km/h (62 mph)). The figures may be different
in other countries. All data in the official vehi-
cle documentation takes precedence over
these data at all times ››› .Drawbar loads
The maximum permitt
ed dr
a
wbar load on the
ball joint of the towing bracket must not ex-
ceed 50 kg.
In the interest of road safety, we recommend
that you always tow approaching the maxi-
mum drawbar load. The response of the trail-
er on the road will be poor, if the drawbar
load is too small.
If the maximum permissible drawbar load
cannot be met (e.g. with small, empty and
light-weight single axle trailers or tandem
axle trailers with a wheelbase of less than 1
metre), a minimum of 4% of the actual trailer
weight is legally required for the drawbar
load. WARNING
● For s af
ety reasons, you should not drive at
speeds above 80 km/h (50 mph) when towing
a trailer. This also applies in countries where
higher speeds are permitted.
● Never exceed the maximum trailer weights
or the drawb
ar load. If the permissible axle
load or the permissible total weight is excee-
ded, the driving characteristics of the vehicle
may change, leading to accidents, injuries
and damage to the vehicle. 225
