Operation
After approximately 7 minutes, the heating
dev ic
e of
the rear window switches off auto-
matically. For the sake of the environment
The heated rear window should be switched
off a s

soon as the glass is demisted. By sav-
ing electrical power you can also save fuel

In the event of a drop in voltage in the on-
boar d sy

stems, the heated rear window
switches off automatically to ensure enough
power to control the engine ››› page 216, Au-

Introduction The windscreen wipers and windscreen

switched on.
The speed of the automatic wipe in case of
rain is automatically adjusted according to
the intensity of the rainfall.
The rear window is wiped once if the wind-
screen wipers are switched on and reverse
gear is engaged.

perfect condition for good visibility and safe
driving.
● In cold conditions, you should not use the
wash/w
ipe system unless you have warmed
the windscreen with the heating and ventila-
tion system. The windscreen washer fluid
could otherwise freeze on the windscreen and
obscure your view of the road. CAUTION
● Durin g w

inter, always check that the wind-
screen wiper blades are not frozen to the
glass before each trip or before switching on 128

The layout of the engine compartment is very
simi l

ar to all petrol and diesel engines. Radiator fan
The radiator is driven by an electric motor
and c

of the coolant.
After the engine has been stopped and the
ignition switched off, the radiator fan may
continue running for around 10 minutes. Engine oil
General
notes The engine comes with a special, multi-grade
oil
th

at can be used all year round.
Because the use of high-quality oil is essen-
tial for the correct operation of the engine
and its long useful life, when topping up or
changing oil, use only those oils that comply
with VW standards.
The specifications (VW standards) set out in
the following page should appear on the con-
tainer of the service oil; when the container
displays the specific standards for petrol and
diesel engines together, it means that the oil
can be used for both types of engines.

Advice
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

The container for the windscreen washer con-

tem. The container is located in the engine
compartment.
The capacity of the reservoir is approximately
3.5 litres; in vehicles with a headlight washer
system, it is approximately 5.4 litres 1)

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
