Lights Introduction
The location of the controls of right-hand drive cars differs slightly from the
location shown here ⇒ Fig. 55 ⇒  page 94. However, the symbols indicat-
ing the respective positions of the controls remain the same.
WARNING
Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright
enough to illuminate the road ahead and to ensure that other road users
are able to see you. Always use your dipped beam headlights if it is dark
or if visibility is poor.
CAUTION
● Use the lights in line with local law.
● However, drivers always remain responsible for correctly adjusting and
using the lights.
Note
● An audible warning will be heard when the light control is set to  and
you remove the ignition key and open the door. Once the driver door is
closed (ignition off), the audible warning will stop, whereas the side lights
will remain on to light up the stationary vehicle if necessary.
● Depending on weather conditions (cold or wet), the lights may mist up
temporarily on the inside. This is particularly the case in the event of a dif-
ference in temperature between the inside and in front of the light. By
switching on the lights, the area through which the beam of light is projec- ted will quickly be demisted, although the edges may remain misted. The
real lights and turn signals can mist up. This has no influence on the useful
life of the lighting system.

126Heating and air conditioning
While in motion, the air conditioning should not be switched on if the win-
dows are open.
If the interior temperature can be reached without switching on the air con-
ditioning, the fresh air mode should be used.
For the sake of the environment
This saves on fuel and reduces emissions. 
Faults
If the air conditioning does not work at outside temperatures above +5 °C
(+41 °F) then the system is faulty. This may be due to one of the following
reasons:
● One of the fuses has blown. Check the fuse and replace if necessary
⇒  page 210.
● The air conditioning compressor has switched off temporarily because
of an increased engine coolant temperature ⇒ page 56.
If you cannot repair the fault yourself or where the cooling power continues
to drop, switch the system off. Contact a specialised service. Air ventsFig. 97 Air vents
Opening air vents 3 and 4
– Turn the vertical circular control upwards.
Closing air vents 3 and 4
– Turn the vertical circular control downwards.
Changing the direction of air delivery from air vents 3 and 4
– The air circulation height can be varied by changing the posi-
tion of the sliding adjuster upwards or downwards ⇒ Fig. 97.
– The air circulation direction can be varied by changing the posi-
tion of the sliding adjuster to the right or to the left.
The flow of air from the vents is controlled using control C
⇒ Fig. 98. Vents
3 ⇒ Fig. 97 and 4 can be opened and closed individually.
Depending on the position of the adjusters and on the weather, open vents
can provide air which is either heated, unheated or cooled. 

Driving
● Do not tow-start the engine. Risk of engine damage! In vehicles with a
catalytic converter, unburnt fuel could reach the catalytic converter and
catch fire in it. This would lead to a fault in the catalytic converter. Use the
battery from another vehicle for help in starting the engine ⇒ page 205,
Jump-starting.
● After the engine has been working hard for a long time, leave the engine
idling for about one minute before switching it off at the end of a journey.
This will stop the engine from overheating.
For the sake of the environment
Do not warm up the engine when the vehicle is stationary. If possible, move
off immediately after starting the engine. This will help the engine reach op-
erating temperature more quickly, reducing the quantity of emissions.
Note
● The engine can only be started with the original SEAT key.
● Loud running noises may be heard briefly after cold-starting the engine.
This is normal and is no cause for concern.
● After the engine has been stopped and the ignition switched off, the ra-
diator fan may continue running for around 10 minutes.
● If the engine still does not start after a second attempt, the fuel pump
fuse might have blown. Check the fuse and replace if necessary
⇒ page 211, Fuses in the dash panel or contact your Specialised Service.
● You should always engage the steering lock when you leave the vehicle.
This will hinder any attempts at theft. Adjusting the steering wheel position
Fig. 101 Adjustable steering wheel: lever beneath steering column/safe distance from
steering wheel
The steering wheel can be adjusted vertically and horizontally.
– First adjust the position of the driver seat ⇒ page 107, Front
seats.
– Pull down the leave located below the steering wheel
⇒ Fig. 101 .
– Adjust the steering wheel vertically or horizontally.
– Pull the lever upwards as far as it will go. 
Power steering
The power steering allows you to turn the steering wheel more easily.
If the power steering fails or the engine is off (towing), it is still possible to
turn the vehicle's steering wheel fully. However, you need more strength to
steer the vehicle. 

Driving
With a sporty driving style , characterised by sudden acceleration, heavy ac-
celeration, speeds that often increase and decrease and maximum speed,
the gearbox adapts to this driving style when the accelerator is pressed fully
down (kick-down) by shifting down as quickly as possible and can even
shift down by several gears at once.
Selecting the best driving programmes is an endless job. Regardless of this,
the driver can also make the gearbox switch to a more dynamic gear shift
programme by pressing the accelerator quickly. This makes the automatic
gearbox shift down into a lower gear that would normally apply to the cur-
rent speed for more rapid acceleration (e.g. to overtake another vehicle)
without having to press the accelerator fully down into the kick-down posi-
tion. On shifting up in a corresponding driving style, the gearbox returns to
the original programme.
When driving along mountain roads, the gearbox adapts to the gradients.
This avoids having to frequently change gears when driving uphill. In Tip-
tronic mode, it is possible to shift down manually when driving downhill to
use the braking effect of the engine. 
Back-up programme
A back-up programme exists in case of faults.
In the event of a fault in the gearbox electronics, this will continue to work
in one of the corresponding back-up programmes. All segments of the
screen are lit up or switched off.
The fault can be seen as follows:
● The gearbox only engages certain gears
● Reverse gear R cannot be engaged
● The manual gearbox switches off in the back-up programme
Note
If the gearbox switches to the back-up programme, visit an Authorised Serv-
ice as soon as possible to solve the problem. 
Manual release of the selector lever
Fig. 108 Manual release
of the selector lever
If there is a fault in the power system to the electronic selector lev-
er lock system (flat battery, blown fuse) or the system itself is faul-
ty, the selector lever cannot be moved from position P in the nor-
mal manner, which prevents the vehicle from being moved. The se-
lector lever must be unlocked using the manual release.
– Apply the handbrake.
– Pull gently on both sides at the front of the selector lever cover.
– Also loosen the cover at the rear.
– Press the yellow plastic part with your finger in the direction in-
dicated by the arrow ⇒
