If a radio is installed or if the factory-provided radio is replaced,
including speakers, the following must be noted:
•Connectors* fitted in the vehicle are for Original SEAT Radios
1).
•Radios with other connections must be connected with an
adapter cable which can also be obtained from Technical Service
Centres.

Furthermore, important electronic components could deteriorate or be
damaged. In case of a disturbance in the speed signal, for example, it could
cause failure in the engine control, automatic gearbox, ABS, etc.
Even if the speed signal is connected to a radio fitted with an automatic
volume adjustment by a different manufacturer, a failure of the previously
mentioned kind could occur.
To access the original speakers, the entire door panel must be
removed. Since this operation requires special tools and expertise,
we recommend that this be undertaken by a Technical Service
Centre.
• For this reason, it is advisable to have the radio and speakers
fitted by a Technical Service Centre.
• The radios from the SEAT Original Accessories program
1)
correspond to factory models and guarantee a trouble-free
installation. These radios are fitted with advanced technology and
are easy-to-use.
• It is also advisable to use speakers, assembly kits, antennas and
anti-parasite kits from the Original Accessories program
1). These
parts have been created for each type of vehicle.
K
Roof antenna*
The vehicle may be fitted with an extendable anti-theft roof
antenna* which can be folded backwards, i.e. at a car wash.

• There must be no contact between the vehicles, otherwise
current can flow as soon as the plus terminals are connected.
• The flat battery must be properly connected to the electrical
system.
• The engine of the boosting vehicle must be running.
• Ensure that the insulated clips have enough contact to metal.
This is particularly applicable to clips which are attached to the
engine block.

These values were calculated without extra equipment reducing
performance, such as air conditioning, mud flaps, extra wide tyres,
etc.
K
Fuel Consumption
The consumption and emission levels were calculated using the
93/116/CE measuring standards and take into account the true
free-standing weight of the vehicle (weight category). To measure
the fuel consumption the vehicle is tested in two different cycles
on a rolling bench under the following conditions:

• The consumption and emission levels given in the following tables are
correct for unloaded vehicles with basic fittings. If there are extra
fittings, the empty weight will increase and, as a result, the weight
category, which may slightly increase the consumption and CO
2levels.
Consult a Technical Service Centre to find out the exact specifications of
your vehicle.
• Driving style, road and traffic conditions, weather conditionsand the
condition of the vehicle will, in practice, produce consumption levels
different to those indicated.
