Securing child seats
Ways to secure a child seat
A child seat can be secured differently on the rear seat and
on the front passenger seat. You can secure a child seat to the rear seat or front passenger seat in the
following ways:
● Child seats in groups 0 to 3 can be secured with a seat belt.
● Child seats in groups 0, 0+ and 1 with the ISOFIX and Top Tether* sys-
tems can be secured without using the seatbelt, thanks to the ISOFIX and
Top Tether* securing rings ⇒ page 52.

Suitable for universal approved restraining systems for use in this age
category (universal retention systems are those fitted using the adult
seat belt).
Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible, as high as pos-
sible and always disable the airbag.

WARNING
● When travelling, children must be secured in the vehicle with a re-
straint system suitable for age, weight and size.
● Never install a child seat facing backwards on the front passenger
seat unless the front passenger airbag has been disabled. This could
cause fatal injuries to the child! However, if, in exceptional cases, it is
necessary to transport a child in the front passenger seat, the front pas-
senger airbag ⇒ page 43 must always be disabled and the seat adjusted
to its highest position, where possible.
● Read and always observe information and warnings concerning the
use of child seats ⇒ page 46.

Child seats fastened with the “ISOFIX” and Top Tether*
system
Child seats with the ISOFIX or Top Tether* system can be se-
cured quickly, easily and safely on the rear outer seats.
Fig. 28 ISOFIX securing
rings
Fig. 29 Top Tether* se-
curing ring
When removing or fitting the child seat, please be sure to follow
the manufacturer's instructions.
– Move the rear seat as far to the rear as it will go. –
Press the child seat onto the ISOFIX retaining rings until the
child seat can be heard to engage securely. If the child seat is
equipped with Toptether* anchor points, secure it to the corre-
spondent ring. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
– Pull on both sides of the child seat to ensure that it is secure.
Two ISOFIX retaining rings are fitted on each rear seat. In some vehicles, the
rings are secured to the seat frame and, in others, they are secured to the
rear floor. The access to the ISOFIX rings is between the rear seat backrest
and the seat cushioning. The Top Tether* anchors are located at the rear of
the backrests of the rear seats (behind the seat backrest or in the luggage
compartment).
Child seats with the ISOFIX and Top Tether* attachment system are available
from Technical Services.
WARNING
● The securing rings are designed only for use with ISOFIX and Top
Tether* child seats.
● Never secure child seats that do not have the ISOFIX and Top Tether*
system, retaining belts or other objects to the securing rings – this could
result in potentially fatal injuries to the child!
● Ensure that the child seat is secured correctly using the “ISOFIX” and
Top Tether* securing rings.

82Communication
The MDI input is composed of the USB and AUX-IN inputs.
The purpose of the MDI input is to connect external devices (i.e. iPod ®
, mp3
players or USB memories) in order to play music using the audio system or
the navigation system.
In order to connect Apple multimedia devices (such as an iPod ®
/iPhone ®
…)
the corresponding adaptor from the SEAT Original Accessories catalogue is
required. 
Voice control
Fig. 41 Multifunction
steering wheel: Voice
control
The time during which the system is ready to receive and execute voice com-
mands is called dialogue. The system gives off acoustic warnings and if
necessary will take you through the respective functions.
The Help menu should be used the first time the voice system is used to be-
come more familiar with the way it works. For voice commands to work optimally, certain factors must be taken into
account:
●
Speak slowly and clearly, as far as possible. The system will not recog-
nise words pronounced unclearly, or words and figures in which syllables
are omitted.
● Speak at a normal volume, without exaggerated intonation or long pau-
ses.
● Close doors, windows and sunroof to dampen and eliminate annoying
noises from outside. Do not turn the air outlets towards the roof.
● When driving at high speed you should speak louder.
● Keep accidental noise in the vehicle during the dialogue to a minimum,
e.g. passengers talking at the same time.
● Do not talk while the system is providing information.
The voice-control microphone is located in the roof trim and faces the driver
and front passenger. This is why the driver and front passenger should use
the device.
Enter the telephone number
The telephone number can be entered as a continuous row of digits memo-
rised in succession (the whole number at once) or as blocks of digits (sepa-
rated by brief pauses). After each series of digits (separated by a brief
pause) the digits recognised until then are repeated.
Digits 0 - 9 and the symbols +, , # are allowed. The system does not rec-
ognise coherent numeric combinations such as twenty-three.
Voice control activation
Press the  1
⇒ Fig. 41 button briefly on the multi-function steering
wheel.
Voice control deactivation
If the system is giving a message it should be stopped by pressing the 
1
⇒ Fig. 41 button briefly on the multi-function steering wheel. 

switched off. Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, as locked
doors delay assistance in an emergency. Doors locked from the inside de-
lay assistance in an emergency. Risk of death!

Seats and storage
Luggage compartment
Introduction
Please observe the following points to ensure the vehicle handles
well at all times:
– Distribute the load as evenly as possible.
– Place heavy objects as far forward in the luggage compartment
as possible.
– Secure luggage using the fastening rings or retaining net
⇒ page 116.
During an accident, even small and light objects can have so much kinetic
energy that they can cause very severe injuries. The amount of kinetic ener-
gy depends on the speed of the vehicle and the weight of the object. How-
ever, the speed of the vehicle is the most important factor.
Example: An unsecured object weighing 4.5 kg produces energy corre-
sponding to 20 times its weight in a frontal collision at 50 km/h (31 mph).
This means that its weight “reaches” around 90 kg. You can imagine the se-
verity of the injuries that might be sustained if this “projectile” strikes an
occupant as it flies through the vehicle interior.
WARNING
● Store objects in the luggage compartment and secure to the fastening
points.
● In an accident or sudden manoeuvre, loose objects in the interior can
be flung forwards and possibly injure vehicle occupants or others. This
risk is increased if the flying objects hit and trigger an airbag. In this
case, any rebounding objects could injure vehicle occupants. Risk of fatal
injuries!
● Take into account that transporting heavy objects changes the centre
of gravity that could also cause changes in vehicle handling. Risk of acci-
dent! Therefore, always adjust your speed and driving style to suit these
circumstances.
● Securing the load to the rings using unsuitable or damage straps
could lead to injuries in the event of an accident or sudden braking ma-
noeuvre. Secure suitable straps safely to the rings to ensure this does
not happen.
● Position the load so that it cannot moved forwards during a sudden
braking manoeuvre. Risk of injuries!
● If transporting sharp or dangerous objects in the space provided
when the rear seats are folded, ensure the safety of the occupant of the
remaining rear seat ⇒ page 13.
● If the rear seat located alongside a folding seat is occupied, ensure
safety by placing the load so that it stops the seat from folding back-
wards in the event of a collision, for example.
● Never drive with the rear lid open or half-closed, exhaust gases may
penetrate into the interior of the vehicle. Danger of poisoning!
● Never exceed the allowed axle loads or allowed maximum weight.
Risk of accident!
● Never transport passengers in the luggage compartment! 
