Engine coolant
Introduction
Never work on the engine cooling system or if you are not familiar with the
operations to be carried out, the applicable safety standards and especially
if you do not have the instruments, liquids and tools necessary Ÿ! Have
the work carried out by a qualified workshop if you are uncertain. SEAT recom-
mends visiting a qualified workshop.
Negligent work can cause serious injury.

WARNING
Engine coolant is toxic!
xOnly keep engine coolant in its original container, tightly shut and in a
safe place.
xNever store engine coolant in empty food containers or bottles as other
people may accidentally drink it.
xAlways keep engine coolant out of reach of children.
xEnsure that the proportion of engine coolant additive corresponds to
the lowest outside temperature to which the vehicle will be exposed.
xIf the outside temperature is extremely low, the engine coolant could
freeze causing the vehicle to stop. As this would also cause the heating to
stop working, passengers without sufficient clothing could freeze.
For the sake of the environment
Coolants and additives can contaminate the environment. Collect any spilt
fluids in suitable containers and dispose of in accordance with legislation
and with the utmost respect for the environment.
Coolant temperature warning lamp and gauge
When driving normally, the needle will remain in the middle area. The temper-
ature may also rise when the engine is working hard, especially at high
outside temperatures and so the indicator will move quite far to the right-
hand side.
Several warning and control lamps should light up for a few seconds when
the ignition is switched. This signals that the lamp is working properly. They
will switch off after a few seconds.

WARNING
In the event of insufficient antifreeze protection in the engine cooling
system, the engine could be damaged and severe injuries caused.
xEnsure that the proportion of engine coolant additive corresponds to
the lowest outside temperature to which the vehicle will be exposed.
xIf the outside temperature is extremely low, the engine coolant could
freeze causing the vehicle to stop. As this would also cause the heating to
stop working, passengers without sufficient clothing could freeze.
Caution
Never mix genuine additives with other additives that are not approved by
SEAT. Otherwise, you run the risk of causing severe damage to the engine and
the engine cooling system.
xThe engine coolant G 12 plus-plus can be mixed with G 12 plus and G 11.
xIf the fluid in the expansion reservoir is not purple but, for example,
brown, this means that you have mixed G 12 plus-plus or G 12 plus with
another coolant. The coolant must be changed as soon as possible if this is
the case! Failure to observe this point will result in serious malfunctions and
engine damage!
For the sake of the environment
Coolants and additives can contaminate the environment. Collect any spilt
fluids in suitable containers and dispose of in accordance with legislation
and with the utmost respect for the environment.
Checking the engine coolant level and refilling
If the coolant level is low, the coolant warning indicator will light.

If and when373
Safety FirstOperating instructionsPractical tipsTe c h n i c a l D a t a The vehicles should not touch. Otherwise, current may be allowed to flow
when the positive poles are connected.
Connect the clamps so they have good metal-to-metal contact with the termi-
nals.
If the engine fails to start straight-away, switch off the starter after about 10
seconds and try again after about a minute.
Complete operations only in the sequence given.
Jump lead terminal connections
xSwitch off the ignition of both vehicles Ÿpage 195.
xLikewise, open the battery cover in the engine compartment Ÿpage 318,
or remove the positive pole cap from one side 3), in the direction of the arrow
Ÿpage 372, fig. 225.
xConnect one end of the red jump lead to the positive terminal
Ÿpage 372, fig. 226 or Ÿpage 372, fig. 225 of the vehicle with the
flat battery Ÿ.
xConnect the other end of the red jump lead to the positive terminal in
the vehicle providing assistance .
xFor vehicles without Start-Stop system: Connect one end of the black
jump lead to the negative terminal in the vehicle providing assistance
Ÿpage 372, fig. 226.
xFor vehicles with Start-Stop system: Connect one end of the black
jump lead to a suitable ground connection, a solid piece of metal in the
engine block, or to the engine block Ÿpage 372, fig. 227.
xConnect the other end of the black jump lead to a solid metal compo-
nent connected to the engine block, or onto the engine block itself of the
vehicle with the flat battery however, connect it as far away as possible from
the battery Ÿ.
xPlace the leads so that they cannot be caught by any moving parts in the
engine compartment.Switching on
xStart the engine of the vehicle supplying current and let it run at idling
speed.
xStart the engine of the car with the flat battery and wait two or three
minutes until the engine is “running smoothly”.
Removing the jump leads
xBefore you remove the jump leads, switch off the headlights (if they are
switched on).
xTurn on the heating and rear window heater in the vehicle with the flat
battery. This helps minimise voltage peaks which are generated when the
leads are disconnected.
xWith the engines running, disconnect the leads in reverse order to
connection.
xClose the battery cover, or replace the positive pole cap 3).
WARNING
Incorrectly jump starting could cause the battery to explode resulting in
serious injury. Please observe the following rules to minimise the risk of a
battery explosion:
xAll work involving the vehicle battery and electrical system can cause
corrosion, fire and serious electric shocks. Always read and take into
account the safety warnings and standards before beginning work on the
battery Ÿpage 318, “Vehicle battery”.
xAlways protect your eyes with suitable working goggles and never lean
over the vehicle battery.
xThe jump leads must be connected in the correct order: first the positive
cable, then the negative cable.
xDo not attach the negative cable to parts of the fuel system or to the
brake hose/pipe.
