The fuses are located behind a cover below the steering wheel.
● Carefully tilt the cover in the direction indicated by the arrow and remove
it ⇒ Fig. 140.
● After changing the fuse, replace the cover on the dash panel in the di-
rection opposite that is indicated by the arrow so that the cover tabs fit into
the slots on the dash panel. Subsequently, press down on the cover to
close. List of fuses in the dash panel

The vehicle data sticker ⇒ Fig. 167 is located on the luggage compartment
floor and is also attached to the Service Plan.

Partial description of the vehicle
Weight in running order
Fuel consumption (in litres per/100 km (miles)) – urban/on the motor-
way/combined
Combined CO
2 emissions (g/km (miles))
Type plate
The type plate ⇒ Fig. 168 is located at the bottom of the front driver side
door pillar between the front and rear door.
The type plate indicates the following weights:
Total permitted weight of the vehicle when loaded
Maximum authorised weight of the vehicle with a trailer, when the vehi-
cle operates as a tractor
Maximum permitted load of the front axle
Maximum permitted load of the rear axle
Weight in running order
The weight in running order only has one approximate value. This value cor-
responds to the minimum operative weight of the vehicle without additional
equipment that increases its weight, i.e. air conditioning, spare wheel, tow-
ing bracket.
The weight in running order also includes 75 kg of the weight of the driver
and the service liquids, in addition to a fuel tank at 90 % capacity.
From the difference between the total permitted weight in running order the
approximate carrying capacity can be calculated ⇒
.
The carrying capacity must include:
● occupants
● all pieces of equipment and other weights
● roof loads incl. roof rack

Calculating fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions according to the ECE
regulations and the EU specifications
Calculation of fuel consumption for urban driving starts when cold-starting
the engine. Then, normal city driving is simulated.
In extra-urban driving fuel consumption calculation, the vehicle brakes and
accelerated in all gears, as in daily use of the vehicle. The driving speed
moves between a range of 0 and 120 km/h (0 and 75 mph).
The consumption value in combined driving is composed of 37 % of the val-
ue of urban driving and 63 % of the value of extra-urban driving.
WARNING
The maximum permitted weight values must not be exceeded – Risk of
an accident and damage to the vehicle!
Note
● If you wish to calculate the exact weight of your vehicle please contact a
SEAT dealer.
● Depending on the volume of equipment, the driving style, road condi-
tions, weather conditions and the condition of the vehicle, the consumption
values can differ from the theoretical values reproduced here. Information on fuel consumption
Fuel consumption
The consumption and emission details shown on the vehicle
data sticker differ from one vehicle to another.
The vehicle's fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions can be consulted on the
vehicle data sticker in the spare wheel well, inside the luggage compart-
ment and on the rear cover of the Maintenance Programme.
The fuel consumption and CO 2 emission values refer to the weight category
assigned to your vehicle according to the engine and gearbox combination,
as well as the specific equipment fitted, and is only used to compare be-
tween the different models.
The fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions do not depend only on the per-
formance of the vehicle, they can also differ from the established values de-
pending on other factors such as driving style, road conditions, traffic con-
ditions, environmental conditions, load and number of passengers.
Calculation of fuel consumption
The consumption values have been calculated based on measurements per-
formed or supervised by certified CE laboratories according to the latest ver-
sion of directives 715/2007/EC and 80/1268/CEE (for more information
consult the European Union Publications Office at EUR-Lex: © European Un-
ion, http://eur-lex.europa.eu/en/index.htm) and are valid for the kerb
weight indicated for the vehicle.
Note
In practice, and considering all the factors mentioned here, consumption
values can differ from those calculated in the current European regulations.
