Opening and closing
will trigger the alarm) or when, for example, the vehicle is transported or
has to be towed with only one axle on the ground.
False alarms
The interior monitoring only operates correctly if the vehicle is completely
closed. Please observe legal requirements when doing so.
The following cases may cause a false alarm:
● opened windows (partially or fully)
● panoramic/tilting sunroof open (partially or completely).
● movement of objects inside the vehicle, such as loose papers, items
hanging from the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc.
Note
● If the vehicle is relocked and the alarm is activated without the volumet-
ric sensor function, relocking will activate the alarm with all its functions,
except the volumetric sensor. This function is reactivated when the alarm is
switched on again, unless it is deliberately switched off.
● If the alarm has been triggered by the volumetric sensor, this will be in-
dicated by a flashing of the warning lamp on the driver door when the vehi-
cle is opened. The flash is different to the flash indicating the alarm is acti-
vated.
● The vibration of a mobile phone left inside the vehicle may cause the ve-
hicle interior monitoring alarm to trigger, as both sensors react to move-
ments and shakes inside the vehicle.
● If on activating the alarm, any door or the rear lid is open, only the alarm
will be activated. The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-tow system
will only be activated once all the doors are closed (including the rear lid). Deactivating the vehicle interior monitoring and tow-away
protection

When the vehicle is locked, the alarm will be triggered if move-
ments are detected in the interior (e.g. by animals) or if the vehi-
cle's inclination is changed (e.g. during transport). You can prevent
the alarm from being triggered accidentally by switching off the ve-
hicle interior monitoring and/or tow-away protection.
– To switch off the vehicle interior monitoring and tow-away pro-
tection, switch off the ignition and press button ⇒ Fig. 54. The
button will light up.
– When the vehicle is locked now, the vehicle interior monitoring
and the tow-away protection are switched off until the next time
the door is opened.
If the anti-theft security system (Safelock)* ⇒ page 87 is switched off, the
vehicle interior monitoring and the tow-away protection are automatically
switched off. 

250Checking and refilling levels
For the sake of the environment
Do not overfill the fuel tank – it may cause the fuel to overflow if it becomes
warm.
Note
Diesel vehicles are fitted with a protective device that prevents the insertion
of the wrong fuel hose 1)
. It is only possible to refuel with Diesel nozzles.
● If the pump nozzle is worn, damaged, or if it is very small, it is possible
that it will not be able to open the protective device. Before trying to insert
the pump nozzle by turning it, try a different pump or request specialist
help.
● If you fill the tank from a reserve fuel canister, the protective device will
not open. One way to resolve this is to pour the fuel in very slowly. 
Refuelling natural gas
Fig. 152 Tank flap open:
gas filler mouth 1, filler

Before refuelling, the engine and the ignition, mobile telephone and heat-
ing must be switched off separately
⇒ .
Read the instructions on how to use the natural gas pump carefully.
The vehicle is not prepared for refuelling with liquefied natural gas (LNG)
⇒ 
. Before refuelling with natural gas, make sure to add the appropriate
type of fuel ⇒ page 246.
Opening the fuel tank cap
The natural gas filler mouth is behind the fuel tank cap, next to the petrol
filler mouth.
● Unlock the vehicle with the key or with the central locking button 
situ-
ated on the driver door ⇒ page 87.
● Press on the rear area of the flap and open it.
Refuelling
Thing to note: if the ambient temperature is very high, the natural gas pump
protection against overheating may disconnect this automatically.
● Remove the plug from the gas filler mouth ⇒ Fig. 152 1
.
● Connect the pump filling nozzle to the gas filler mouth.
● The fuel tank will be full when the pump compressor automatically cuts
the supply.
● If you wish to finish refuelling in advance, press the button on the pump
to stop the flow.
Closing the fuel tank cap
● Check that the gas filler mouth retainer 2
is not trapped with the filler
nozzle. If necessary, place it in the filler mouth again.
● Insert the plug in the filler mouth.
● Close the tank flap. Make sure you hear it click into place. 

272Accessories and modifications to the vehicle
Accessories and modifications to the vehicle
Accessories, replacement parts and repairs
Always ask your dealer or specialist retailer for advice be-
fore purchasing accessories and replacement parts.
Your vehicle is designed to offer a high standard of active and passive safe-
ty. For this reason, we recommend that you ask a SEAT Official Service for
advice before fitting accessories or replacement parts. Your SEAT Official
Service has the latest information from the manufacturer and can recom-
mend accessories and replacement parts which are suitable for your re-
quirements. They can also answer any questions you might have regarding
official regulations.
We recommend you to use only SEAT accessories and Genuine SEAT parts ®
.
SEAT has tested these parts and accessories for suitability, reliability and
safety. SEAT Official Services have the necessary experience and facilities to
ensure that the parts are installed correctly and professionally.
Any retro-fitted equipment which has a direct effect on the vehicle and/or
the way it is driven e.g. cruise control system or electronically-controlled
suspension, must bear the e mark (the European Union's authorisation
symbol) and be approved for use in the vehicle in question.
If any additional electrical components are fitted which do not serve to con-
trol the vehicle itself (for instance a refrigerator box, laptop or ventilator fan,
etc.), these must bear the  mark (manufacturer conformity declaration in
the European Union).
WARNING
Accessories, for example telephone holders or cup holders, should never
be fitted on the covers, or within the working range of the airbags. Other-
wise, there is a danger of injury if the airbag is triggered in an accident.
 Technical modifications
Modifications must always be carried out according to our
specifications.
Unauthorised modifications to the electronic components, software, wiring
or data transfer in the vehicle may cause malfunctioning. Due to the way the
electronic components are linked together in networks, other indirect sys-
tems may be affected by the faults. This can seriously impair safety, lead to
excessive wear of components, and also invalidate your vehicle registration
documents.
You will appreciate that your SEAT dealership cannot be held liable for any
damage caused by modifications and/or work performed incorrectly.
We recommend that all work should be performed by a SEAT Official Service
using Genuine SEAT parts
®
.
WARNING
Incorrectly performed modifications or other work on your vehicle can
lead to malfunctions and cause accidents.

Radio transmitters and business equipment
Radio transmitters (fixed installation)
Any retrofit installations of radio transmitters in the vehicle require prior ap-
proval. SEAT generally authorises in-vehicle installations of approved types
of radio transmitters provided that: 

273
Accessories and modifications to the vehicle
● the aerial is installed correctly.
● the aerial is installed on the exterior of the vehicle (and shielded cables
are used together with non-reflective aerial trimming).
● the effective transmitting power does not exceed 10 Watts at the aerial
base.
A SEAT Official Service and specialised workshop will be able to inform you
about options for installing and operating radio transmitters with a higher
transmitting power.
Mobile radio transmitters
Commercial mobile telephones or radio equipment might interfere with the
electronics of your vehicle and cause malfunctions. This may be due to:
● no external aerial
● external aerial incorrectly installed
● transmitting power more than 10 W
You must, therefore, do not operate portable mobile telephones or radio
equipment inside the vehicle without a properly installed external aerial
⇒ 
.
Please note also that the maximum range of the equipment can only be ach-
ieved with an external aerial.
Business equipment
Retrofit installation of business or private equipment in the vehicle is per-
mitted, provided the equipment cannot interfere with the driver's immedi-
ate control of the vehicle and that any such equipment carries the  mark.
Any retrofit equipment that could influence the driver's control of the vehi-
cle must have a type approval for your vehicle and must carry the e mark.
WARNING
Mobile telephones or radio equipment which is operated inside the vehi-
cle without a properly installed external aerial can create excessive mag-
netic fields that could cause a health hazard.
Note
● The posterior fitting of electric and electronic equipment in this vehicle
affects its licence type and could lead to the withdrawal of the vehicle regis-
tration document under certain circumstances.
● Please use the mobile telephone/radio operating instructions. 
