everse order.
Checking the battery electrolyte level Fig. 211
Battery: Electrolyte level indicator. We recommend you have the acid level regu-
l
arly
c

hecked at an official technical service,
particularly in the following cases.
● At high outside temperatures.
● On long daily trips.
● Whenever the vehicle is loaded

page 215, Charging the battery.
In vehicles equipped with a battery with col-
our indicator, the so-called magic eye
››› Fig. 211 changes colour to indicate the
acid level. Air bubbles can influence the colour of the in-
dicator

. Therefore, carefully knock the indica-
tor before checking the acid level.
● Black – the acid level is correct.
● Colourless or light yellow – acid level too
low, b
attery must be changed. Note
● The batt er

y acid level is also regularly
checked during servicing at authorised SEAT
dealers.
● The electrolyte level on “AGM” batteries
cannot be c
hecked for technical reasons.
● Vehicles equipped with the “Start-Stop”
syst
em include a battery control unit to con-
trol the battery level for repeated engine
starting. Winter service
At low temperatures the battery provides only
a fr
action of
the s

tarting power it has at nor-
mal temperatures.
A flat battery can also freeze at temperatures
slightly below 0°C (+32°F).
We therefore recommend you have the bat-
tery checked and, if necessary, charged at an
official SEAT technical service before the start
of winter. Charging the battery A fully-charged battery is essential for relia-
bl
e s

tarting.
– Switch off the ignition and all electrical
equipment.
– For “f

ast-charging” only: disconnect both
batter
y connection cables (first the “nega-
tive” terminal and then the “positive”).
– Connect the charger cables to the battery
terminal

s (red = “positive”, black = “nega-
tive”).
– Plug in the battery charger and switch on.
– After charging the battery: Switch off the
batt er

y charger and disconnect the cable.
– Remove the charger cables.
– If necessary, reconnect both battery cables
to the batt

ery (first the “positive” cable,
then the “negative” cable).
When charging with a low current (e.g. with a
small battery charger ), the battery does not
normally have to be disconnected. The in-
structions of the battery charger manufactur-
er must be followed.
Use a current equivalent to or lower than
10% of the battery capacity to fully charge
the battery.
Before “fast-charging” the battery however,
both battery cables must be disconnected. »

Advice
“Fast-charging” a battery is dan
g erous and
requires a battery charger and special knowl-
edge. Fast charges should be performed by
an official technical service.
The battery caps should not be opened while
the battery is being charged. CAUTION
In vehicles fitted with the “Start-Stop” sys-
tem, the c h

arger cable cannot be directly con-
nected to the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery but must be attached to the engine
ground point ›››

We recommend having the vehicle checked by
an authorised S EA

T dealer to guarantee the
correct working order of all electrical sys-
tems. Changing the battery
A replacement battery must have the same
cap
ac

ity, voltage, current rating and size as
the original. The appropriate types of battery
can be acquired from authorised SEAT deal-
ers.
We recommend having the battery changed
by an authorised SEAT dealer, where the new
battery will be correctly installed and the
original disposed of in line with regulations.
Automatic disconnection of electrical
equipment When heavily-charging a battery, the pro-
gr
amme sel
ect

ed by the electrical system
control unit prevents the battery from auto-
matically discharging. This may result in the
following:
● Increase in idling speed so that the alterna-
tor can s
upply more current to the electrical
system.
● The performance of certain electrical com-
ponents cou
ld be limited or some may switch
off temporarily, e.g. the heated seats, the
heated rear window, the 12 V power socket. Note
Despite any measures taken by the control
unit, the b att

ery could drain. e.g. with the en- gine is switched off, the key is turned in the
ignition for a lon
g period or the s

ide lights or
parking lights are switched on. The switching
off of certain electrical components does not
impair driving comfort and often the driver
will not even notice. 216

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

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.
Interchanging tyres Fig. 214
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. 214. 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

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

 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

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 ››› .
The c arr

● occupants,
● all pieces of equipment and other weights,
● roof loads including the roof rack,
● equipment that is not included in the run-

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,
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-

tation provided to the purchaser of the vehi-
cle at the time of purchase.
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

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

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

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
