Operation
During an accident, even small and light ob-
j ects
c
an have so much kinetic energy that
they can cause very severe injuries. The
amount of kinetic energy depends on the
speed of the vehicle and the weight of the
object. However, the speed of the vehicle is
the most important factor.
Example: An unsecured object weighing 4.5
kg produces energy corresponding to 20
times its weight in a frontal collision at 50
km/h (31 mph). This means that its weight
reaches around 90 kg. You can imagine the
severity of the injuries that might be sus-
tained if this “projectile” strikes an occupant
as it flies through the vehicle interior. WARNING
● Stor e o

bjects in the luggage compartment
and secure to the fastening points.
● In an accident or sudden manoeuvre, loose
obj
ects in the interior can be flung forward
and possibly injure vehicle occupants or oth-
ers. This risk is even greater if the flying ob-
jects hit a triggering airbag. In this case, any
rebounding objects could injure vehicle occu-
pants. Risk of fatal injuries!
● Take into account that transporting heavy
obj
ects changes the centre of gravity that
could also cause changes in vehicle handling.
Risk of accident! Therefore, always adjust
your speed and driving style to suit these cir-
cumstances. ●
Securin g the lo

ad to the rings using unsuit-
able or damaged straps could lead to injuries
in the event of an accident or sudden braking
manoeuvre. Secure suitable straps safely to
the rings to ensure this does not happen.
● Position the load so it cannot move forward
during a sud
den braking manoeuvre. Risk of
injuries!
● If transporting sharp or dangerous objects
in the spac
e provided when the rear seats are
folded, ensure the safety of the occupant of
the remaining rear seat ››› page 59.
● If the rear seat located alongside a folded
seat i
s occupied, ensure safety, for example,
by placing the load so that it stops the seat
from folding backward in the event of being
hit from behind.
● Never drive with the rear lid open or half-
closed, e
xhaust gases may penetrate into the
interior of the vehicle. Danger of poisoning!
● Never exceed the allowed axle loads or al-
lowed m
aximum weight. Risk of accident!
● Never transport passengers in the luggage
compar
tment! CAUTION
Make sure sharp objects stored in the boot
cannot not

damage the rear window heating
filaments. Note

Operation
Air conditioning
He atin
g and air c
onditioning
General notes The power of the heating depends on the
temper
at

ure of the coolant. Therefore, maxi-
mum power is only obtained when the en-
gine has reached operating temperature.
The temperature and humidity of the air in-
side the vehicle decrease when the cooling
system is turned on. This therefore increases
the comfort of all vehicle occupants when
outside temperatures and humidity are high.
It also helps prevent the windows from mist-
ing over during cold periods of the year.
The air recirculation system can be switched
on temporarily to increase the cooling effect.
Keep the air intake slots in front of the wind-
screen clear of ice, snow or leaves to ensure
unimpaired heating and cooling.
When the air conditioning is on, condensa-
tion can drip from the evaporator in the air
cooling system and form a pool underneath
the vehicle. This is normal and does not indi-
cate a leak! WARNING
● All

windows must be clear of ice, snow and
condensation for driving safety. Therefore, make sure you familiarise yourself with the
corr
ect

use of heating and ventilation, win-
dow demisting and defrosting and cooling.
● Never use the air recirculation system for
too long, a
s it prevents fresh air from enter-
ing the vehicle and used air can cause tired-
ness, reduce your attention span and cause
the windows to mist over. This increases the
risk of an accident. Switch off the air recircu-
lation system as soon as the windows begin
to mist over. WARNING
Do not switch off Climatronic for longer than
nece s

sary.
● Switch Climatronic back on as soon as the
window
s begin to mist over. Note
● Used air e s

capes through ventilation slots
in the rear of the luggage compartment.
● Smoking is not recommended while the air
recir
culation system is in use, as the smoke
drawn from the interior of the vehicle settles
in the evaporator of the air conditioning sys-
tem. This causes a persistent, unpleasant
smell while the system is running that is
time-consuming and expensive (evaporator
replacement) to eliminate.
● To guarantee proper operation, never cover
the air outlets
in the luggage compartment. Economic use of the air-conditioning
sy
s
t

em When the air conditioning is switched on, the
compr
e

ssor consumes engine power and has
influence on fuel consumption.
If the vehicle interior has overheated due to
excessive solar radiation, it is best to open
the windows or doors to allow the hot air to
escape.
While in motion, the air conditioning should
not be switched on if the windows are open.
If the interior temperature can be reached
without switching on the air conditioning, the
fresh air mode should be used. For the sake of the environment
Saving fuel reduces emissions. Faults
If the air conditioning does not work at out-
s
ide t
emper

atures above +5°C (+41°F) then
the system is faulty. This may be due to one
of the following reasons:
● One of the fuses has blown. Check the fuse
and repl
ace if necessary ›››

Periodic maintenance
P eriodic
m
aintenance work guarantees that,
before beginning a journey, you will not con-
sume more than the required amount of fuel.
A well-serviced engine gives you the benefit
of improved fuel efficiency as well as maxi-
mum reliability and an enhanced resale val-
ue.
A badly serviced engine can consume up to
10% more fuel than necessary.
Avoid short journeys
To reduce the consumption and emission of
polluting exhaust gases, the engine and the
exhaust gas filtration systems should reach
the optimum operating temperature.
With the engine cold, fuel consumption is
proportionally higher. The engine does not
warm up and fuel consumption does not nor-
malise until having driven approximately four
kilometres (2.5 miles). This is why we recom-
mend avoiding short trips whenever possi-
ble.
Maintain the correct tyre pressures
Bear in mind that keeping the tyres at an ad-
equate pressure saves fuel. If the tyre pres-
sure is just one bar (14.5 psi/100 kPa) too
low, fuel consumption can increase by as
much as 5%. Due to the greater rolling resist-
ance, under-inflation also increases tyre wear
wear and impairs handling. The tyre pressures should always be checked
when the tyre
s are cold.
Do not use 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
● If y

ou vehicle has Start-Stop, it is not rec-
ommended to switch this function off. ●
It i s

recommended that you close the win-
dows when driving at more than 60 km/h
(37 mph).
● Do not drive with your foot resting on the
clutc
h pedal,, as the pressure can make the
plate spin, more fuel will be used and it can
burn the clutch plate lining, causing a serious
fault.
● Do not hold the vehicle on a hill with the
clutc
h, 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.
● On descents, use the engine brake, chang-
ing to the g
ear that is more suitable for the
slope. Fuel consumption will be “zero” and
the brakes will not suffer. Engine management and emis-

Care and maintenance
●
The modification of the s
uspension 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.
● During all jobs on the airbag system, in ad-
dition to the remo
val 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. Radio and aerial reception
In vehicles factory-fitted with an audio or
n
av
ig

ation system, the aerial may be instal-
led in different places:
● inside the rear window next to the heating
elements,
● on the roof

of the vehicle.
Care and cleaning Introduction Regular and suitable care helps to
m
aint ain
the u
seful life of your vehicle. This may also
be one of the requirements for upholding any warranty claims in the event of corrosion or
paint def

ects.
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
● Cle

aning products and other materials used
for car care can damage the health if mis-
used.
● Always keep car care materials in a safe
plac
e out of the reach of children. Risk of poi-
soning!
● When washing the car during the winter
season: Moi
sture and ice on the brakes may
affect braking efficiency. Risk of accident!
● The ignition must always be switched off
when the car is
washed. Risk of accident!
● Do not clean the underside of the car or in-
side the wheel ar
ches without protecting your
hands and arms. You may cut yourself on
sharp metal parts!
● Perfumes and air fresheners inside the ve-
hicle m
ay be harmful to health at high tem-
peratures in the interior. CAUTION
● Check the c

olour-fastness of your clothing
to avoid damaging or visibly staining the fab-
ric (leather), upholstery and fabric trim. ●
Cle

aning products containing solvents may
damage the material being cleaned.
● Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.
Risk of
damage to paintwork.
● 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.
● Do not use sponges for removing insects or
abras
ive household sponges, etc. on painted
surfaces. Risk of damage to the painted sur-
face!
● Do not put stickers on the inner side of the
rear w
indow 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.
● Do not clean the inside of the window with
sharp ob
jects or corrosive or acidic cleaning
products. Risk of damaging the heating ele-
ments or the aerial.
● Do not attach any fragrance or air freshener

Advice
For the sake of the environment
● The pac k
aging of the product used to care
for your vehicle is hazardous waste. It must
be disposed of according to current local law.
● Only wash the car in special wash bays. Note
● Remo v

e stains from fresh ball-pen and oth-
er inks, lipstick, shoe cream and similar
stains on the fabric (leather), upholstery and
fabric trim as soon as possible.
● We recommend that you visit an authorised
SEAT de
aler to clean and care for the interior
of your vehicle, due to the problems that may
arise when cleaning and caring for the interi-
or of your vehicle and to the utensils and
knowledge required. Washing the vehicle
The best protection of the vehicle from the
h
armf
u

l influences of the environment in-
volves frequent washing and waxing. The fre-
quency with which the vehicle is washed de-
pends on many different factors, such as:
● Frequency of use
● Type of parking (garage, underneath trees,
etc.)
● Time of

year
● Weather conditions ●
Envir
onmental conditions
The longer substances such as insects, bird
droppings, resinous tree sap, road dirt, in-
dustrial deposits, tar, soot or road salt and
other aggressive materials remain on the
paintwork, the more damage they do. High
temperatures (for instance in strong sunlight)
further intensify the corrosive effect.
After the winter season, it is important to
have the underside of the vehicle washed
thoroughly.
Car washes Your vehicle can be washed in an automatic
c
ar w
a

sh.
Before going through an automatic car wash,
be sure to take the usual precautions (close
the windows and fold in the rear-view mir-
rors).
If the vehicle has special accessories such as
spoilers or a roof rack or two-way radio aerial,
etc., it is advisable to consult the car wash
operator beforehand.
The windscreen wiper rubbers must be de-
greased after going after the car wash and
waxing. Washing by hand When washing the car by hand, use plenty of
wat
er t

o soften the dirt first and rinse off as
well as possible.
Then clean the vehicle with a sponge, glove
or brush. Start on the roof and work down.
Use only slight pressure when cleaning the
painted surfaces of the vehicle. A car sham-
poo should only be used for very persistent
dirt.
Rinse the sponge or glove thoroughly and of-
ten.
Wheels, sills and underside should be
cleaned last. Use a second sponge for this.
After washing, rinse the vehicle thoroughly
and then dry with a chamois.
Washing with high-pressure cleaners When cleaning the vehicle with a high-pres-
s
ur
e c

leaner, always follow the operating in-
structions for the equipment. This particular-
ly applies to the operating pressure and the
distance of the spray from the surface of the
vehicle. Do not hold the spray nozzle too
close to the parking aid system sensors and
soft materials, such as rubber hoses or insu-
lating material.

c

ount to avoid damaging adhesive
sheets:
● Do not use high pressure cleaners.
● Do not use scrapers to remove ice or snow
from the sheets.
● Do not po

lish the adhesive sheets.
● Do not use dirty cloths or sponges.
● It is preferable to wash them with a soft
spong
e and gentle neutral soap.
Camera sensors and lenses ●
Use a small brush to remove snow and a
