For the sake of the environment
Changing to higher gears in advance helps to reduce fuel consumption and
noise levels, helps to protect the environment and benefits both the useful
life and the reliability of the engine. 
Speedometer
Speed warning
An audible warning will be heard on exceeding 120 km/h (75 mph). If the
speed falls below this limit, the audible warning switches off.
Note
This function is only valid for certain countries. 
Coolant temperature gauge
The coolant temperature gauge 4
⇒  Fig. 31
⇒ page 57 only works when
the ignition is switched on.
Damage to the engine can be avoided by observing the indications regard-
ing the temperature zones.
Engine cold
If the needle is still on the left of the scale, the engine has not yet reached
operating temperature. Avoid high engine speeds, hard acceleration and
submitting the engine to high loads.
Operating temperature zone
When the needle has reached the central part of the scale, this means the
engine has reached operating temperature. Running the engine at full throt- tle and the high temperatures involved can cause the needle to be posi-
tioned in the zone on the right.
CAUTION
The additional headlights and other parts placed in front of the fresh air in-
lets reduce the effect of engine cooling. With high outside temperatures
and engine speeds a risk becomes present of the engine overheating
⇒  page 72, Coolant level and temperature . 
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge 7 ⇒ Fig. 31 ⇒ 
page 57 operates only when the ignition is
switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of approx. 55 litres. When the needle reaches
the reserve area, the warning symbol  ⇒ page 75 lights up on the gener-
al instrument panel and an audible warning can be heard.
CAUTION
Never completely empty the tank! An irregularity in the fuel supply system
can cause irregularities when the engine is running. Unburned fuel can
reach the exhaust gas system, which can cause deterioration of the catalytic
converter.
Note
Some vehicles come fitted with the fuel gauge on the general instrument
panel. 

74Controls and displays
Bulb fault 
The control lamp  lights up when there is a fault in a bulb:
● For several seconds after switching on the ignition
● When connecting a faulty bulb
This is indicated on the informative display, e.g.: Check the front right dipped beam headlight!
Note
The rear side lights and number plate light contain several bulbs. The con-
trol lamp  lights up only when there is a fault in all the number plate
bulbs or side light bulbs (of a combined tail light). Therefore it is advisable
to regularly check the bulb operation. 
Emission control system 
If the warning lamp  is lit up, there is a fault in the emission system. The
engine control unit allows driving to continue in an emergency program.
Seek professional help. 
Preheating  (diesel engines)
When you switch on the ignition, the warning lamp  lights up. The engine
can be started straight away when the lamp switches off.
If the warning lamp  does not light up or if it does not switch off , there is
a fault in the glow plug system. If the warning lamp
 starts to flash while driving, there is a fault in the
engine power control electronic system. The engine control unit allows driv-
ing to continue in an emergency program.
Seek professional help. 
Engine management system  (petrol engines)
If the warning lamp  is lit up, there is a fault in the engine management
system. The engine control unit allows driving to continue in an emergency
program.
Seek professional help. 
Particulate filter  (diesel engines)
The particulate filter eliminates soot from emissions. The particles accumu-
late in the filter where they are normally burned off.
If the warning lamp  is lit up, the filter is obstructed by soot.
In order for the filter to clean itself (if the traffic conditions ⇒ 
so permit) it
is essential to drive for at least 15 minutes (or until the warning lamp
switches off) with 4th or 5th gear engaged (automatic gearbox: position S)
at a minimum speed of 60 km/h (37 mph) with the engine speed between
1800-2500 rpm.
The warning lamp  switches off once the filter has been successfully
cleaned.
If the cleaning process is not successful, the warning lamp  does not
switch off and the warning lamp  starts to flash.

Opening and closing electric windows Introduction
WARNING
● When locking the vehicle from the outside, make sure that nobody is
inside the vehicle, as the windows cannot be opened from the inside in
an emergency.
● For safety reasons, use the safety button S
⇒ Fig. 53 that deacti-
vates the window switches in the rear doors when children are travelling
in the rear seats.
CAUTION
● Keep the windows clean to ensure the system operates correctly.
● Defrost ⇒ page 175, Windows and exterior mirrors any frozen windows
before use. Risk of damaging the electric window riser mechanism.
● Always make sure all of the windows are closed on leaving the locked
vehicle.
Note
● The vehicle heating and ventilation system should be used to ventilate
the interior while driving. Leaving the windows open could allow dust and
other dirt to enter the vehicle and cause unpleasant noises at certain
speeds.
● Do not leave the side windows open at high speeds, as this will overly
increase fuel consumption. 

The heated rear window only works when the engine is running.
After approx. 7 minutes, the rear window heating device switches off auto-
matically.
For the sake of the environment
The heated rear window should be switched off as soon as the glass is dem-
isted. By saving electrical power you can also save fuel ⇒ page 160, Save
electrical energy.
Note
In the event of a drop in voltage in the onboard systems, the heated rear
window switches off automatically to ensure enough power to control the
engine ⇒ page 194, Automatic disconnection of electrical equipment. Sun visors

Windscreen wipers and windscreen washers
Introduction
The windscreen wipers and windscreen washers only work when the igni-
tion is switched on.
The rear window is wiped once if the windscreen wipers are switched on and
reverse gear is engaged.
Fill the windscreen washer fluid ⇒ page 190.
WARNING
● Make sure the blades ⇒ page 107 are in perfect condition for good
visibility and safe driving.
● In cold conditions, you should not use the wash/wipe system unless
you have warmed the windscreen with the heating and ventilation sys-
tem. The windscreen washer fluid could otherwise freeze on the wind-
screen and obscure your view of the road.
CAUTION
● During the winter, always check that the windscreen wiper blades are
not frozen to the glass before each trip or before switching on the ignition. If
you switch on the windscreen wipers when the wiper blades are frozen to
the glass, this could damage both the wiper blades and the wiper motor.
● If the ignition is switched off when the windscreen wipers are on, they
will start operating in the same mode when the ignition is switched back
on. The wiper blades could be frozen to the glass at low temperatures when
the ignition is switched off.
● Carefully separate the frozen wipers from the windscreen or rear win-
dow.
● Remove snow and ice from the wipers before starting your journey. ●
Careless handling could lead to the wiper arms damaging the wind-
screen.
● For safety reasons, the wiper blades should be changed once or twice a
year. They can be purchased at a SEAT Authorised Service.
● The ignition cannot be switched on while the windscreen wiper arms are
in a raised position. Otherwise, the windscreen wipers would return to their
original position and could damage the paintwork on the bonnet.
Note
Keep the wipers clean. The wipers can be soiled with remains of wax solu-
tions from car washes ⇒ page 173.
● On vehicles equipped with windscreen washer jets, these are heated
once the engine is running. 

– Turn the knob to position  ⇒ Fig. 68. The mirror movements are

WARNING
● Convex (wide-angle) rear vision mirrors give a larger field of vision.
However, they make objects appear smaller and further away than they
really are. For this reason, you should not rely on these rear vision mir-
rors for judging the distance of vehicle behind.
● If possible, use the interior rear vision mirror to estimate distances to
vehicles behind you.
Note
● Exterior mirrors are only heated when the engine is running.
● Do not touch the exterior mirrors when the heating system is running.
● If the electrical adjustment should ever fail to operate, the rear vision
mirrors can be adjusted by hand by pressing the edge of the mirror glass.
● Visit the technical service in the event of a fault in the electrical rear vi-
sion mirror adjustment system. 
