As a result of the special engine construction and the subsequent space
requirements and depending on the vehicle version, access to the bulbs
may be very difficult.
Changing bulbs should be carried out by a Technical Service Center.
Nonetheless, procedures on changing bulbs, except for xenon* bulbs, is
described as follows.
K
Main beam bulbs
1)Replacing this type of the light must be carried out by a Technical Service Centre since
complex vehicle parts must be disassembled and the incorporated automatic
regulatory system must be reset.
2)The glowing capacity of Xenon bulbs is 2.5 times higher than regular ones and their
life span is 5 times higher than halogen bulbs. It is not necessary to replace these
bulbs during the vehicle’s life, unless there is an anomaly.

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.
C Ca

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.

Mobile phones and radio – telephones should be installed by a
specialised workshop.
SEAT has authorised the use of mobile telephones and two-way
radios for your vehicle with correctly installed external aerial and
maximum broadcast power of 10 Watts.
C Ca

on
n
When using mobile telephones or two-way, faults in the vehicle electrics
could occur under the following conditions:
– no external aerial
– external aerial incorrectly installed
– broadcast power higher than 10 Watts.
Mobile telephones or two-way radios must not, therefore, be operated
inside the vehicle without a separate external aerial or with an aerial which
has been incorrectly installed.
Furthermore, optimal range is only achieved with an external aerial.
N No

Please take the time to review the instruction manuals provided with mobile
telephones and two-way radios!
If you wish to use mobile phones or radio telephones with a
transmission power of over 10 W, you must necessarily check with
your Technical Service Centre. They will inform you about the
technical possibilities for additional mobile and radio phone
equipment.

engine. The following points should be noted:
• Both batteries must be of the 12 Volt variety and the capacity
(Ah) of the booster battery must be approximately the same as that
of the flat battery.
• The jumper cables must be heavy enough to carry the load. Note
cable manufacturer’s data.
• Only use jumper cables with insulated clips.

These values were calculated without extra equipment reducing

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

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.
