Switching on the heating function
– Insert the cable plug in the cooling and heating box so that the red marking on the plug is pointing to the notch.
– Insert the connector cable plug into one of the vehicle's 12 volt sockets.
– Keep the lid of the cooling and heating box closed.
Switching the cooling and heating box off fully
– Disconnect the power supply to the 12 Volt socket.The internal temperature of the cooling and heating box is dependent on the
temperature in the vehicle. In cooling mode, the internal temperature can be
max. 20 degrees below the temperature in the vehicle. In heating mode it can
be max. 35 degrees above the temperature in the vehicle ⇒ in “Safety
notes on using the cooling and heating box” on page 150.
If you switch directly from cooling to heating (or vice versa) it will take a rela-
tively long time for the interior to reach the desired temperature.
Faults
If the cooling and heating box does not work, proceed as follows:•
Check whether there is power and whether the plug is securely in the
socket.
•
Make sure the power cable is not damaged.
•
Check the fuse for the power supply to the 12 Volt socket.
•
Run the engine to recharge the battery.
If these steps do not help, co ntact a qualified dealership.
Safety notes on using the cooling and heating box
WARNING
•
For reasons of safety, the cooling and heating box lid must always be
closed and latched when the vehicle is in motion. The cooling and heating
box must always be firmly secured in the correct floor anchorings.
•
If the temperature in the vehicle is too low, the temperature in the box
may fall below +2 degrees and the cont ents may freeze. Bottles and other
containers could burst. Risk of injury.
•
For reasons of safety, the cooling and heating box lid mu st not be used
as a table or shelf when the vehicle is in motion.
•
Always close the lid of the cooling and heating box before the vehicle
moves off. If the flap is open, it could drop down when the vehicle moves
off. Risk of injury.

Tips and Maintenance
Te c h n i c a l D a t a
Starting and stopping the engineStarting a petrol engine
The engine can only be started using a genuine SEAT key with
the correct code.– Place the gear in neutral (if it is an automatic gearbox, place the
gear lever in P or in N ).
– In vehicles with a manual gearbox, depress the clutch pedal fully and hold it in this position, the starter will then only have to turn
the engine.
– Turn the ignition key to position ⇒page 161, fig. 126 to start
the engine.
– Let go of the ignition key as soon as the engine starts; the starter motor must not be allowed to run on with the engine.You may need to press the accelerator briefly after starting a very hot engine.
When starting from cold, the engine ma y be a little noisy for the first few
seconds until oil pressure has built up in the hydraulic valve lifters. This is
quite normal, and no cause for concern.
If the engine does not start immediatel y, switch off the starter after about
10 seconds and try again after about half a minute. If the engine still does not
start, the fuel pump fuse should be checked.
WARNING
•
Never start or run the engine in unventilated or closed rooms. The
exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, an odourless and colourless poisonous gas. Risk of fatal accidents. Carbon monoxide can cause people
to lose consciousness. It can also cause death.
•
Never leave the vehicle unattended if the engine is running.
•
Never use “cold start sprays”, they could explode or cause the engine
to run at high revs. Risk of injury.Caution
•
When the engine is cold, you should avoid high engine speeds, driving at
full throttle and over-loading the engine. Risk of engine damage.
•
The vehicle should not be pushed or towed for more than approximately
50 metres to start the engine. Fuel could enter the catalytic converter and
damage it.
•
Before attempting to push-start or tow a vehicle to start it, you should first
try to start it using the battery of another vehicle. Observe the warnings in the
chapter Help with Ignition.For the sake of the environment
Do not warm up the engine by running it with the car stationary. You should
drive off as soon as you start the engine. This helps the engine reach oper-
ating temperature faster and reduces emissions.Starting a diesel engine
The engine can only be started using a genuine SEAT key with
the correct code.– Place the gear in neutral (if it is an automatic gearbox, place the gear lever in P or in N).

WARNING
•
If the prescribed torque of the wheel bolts is too low, they could loosen
whilst the vehicle is in motion. Risk of accident! If the tightening torque is
too high, the wheel bolts and threads could be damaged.Caution
The stipulated torque for the wheel bolts on steel wheels and alloy wheels is
170 Nm with a tolerance of ± 10 Nm. You should visit a specialised workshop
as soon as possible to check the torque with a torque wrench.
Note
•
The wheel bolts should be clean and turn easily. Do not grease or oil them.
•
The hexagonal socket in the screwdriver handle should be used only for
turning wheel bolts which have been slackened off. Do not use it to loosen or
tighten the wheel bolts.
•
If you notice that the wheel bolts are corroded and difficult to turn when
changing a wheel, they must be replaced before you have the tightening
torque checked.
•
If the spare tyre is not the same as the tyres that are mounted on the car -
for example with winter tyres - you should only use the spare tyre for a short
period of time and drive with extra care. Refit the normal road wheel as soon
as possible.
•
Have the flat tyre replaced as quickly as possible.
FusesChanging a fuse– Use the fuse tables, to find out where, and in which fuse box, the damaged fuse is located ⇒page 242.
– Switch off the ignition and the component concerned.
– Remove the fuse box cover ⇒fig. 163 .
– Use the plastic pliers in the fuse box to remove the fuse.
– If the fuse has blown (the metal strip will have melted), replace it with a new fuse of the same amp rating (same colour and same
imprint) and size.The individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. It is advisable to carry
several spare fuses at all times.

WARNING
Never “repair” damaged fuses and neve r replace them with higher rating
fuses. This could cause fires.
Note
•
If a newly inserted fuse blows after a short time, you must have the elec-
trical system checked by a qualifie d dealership as soon as possible.
•
If you replace a fuse with a stronger fuse, you could cause damage to
another location in th e electrical system.
Fuse tableThe table shows the fuse locations fo r the most important consumers. The
right-hand columns contain the insert loc ation, the figures in brackets indi-
cate the Ampère rating for the fuse. One single consumer could have more
than one fuse. Several consumers could run over one single fuse.
The fuse box has space for replacement fuses.
There are other fuses in the vehicle. These should be changed by a qualified
dealership.
