If the front passenger airbag has been disabled with the airbag switch loca-
ted in the storage compartment side:
● When the ignition is turned on, the warning light  switches on for
around 4 seconds.
● The airbag is disabled, signalled with the warning lamp   which
lights up with the word      placed in the centre part of the
dash panel ⇒ Fig. 24 ⇒  page 44.
WARNING
When there is a fault in the airbag system, have an inspection carried out
by an Authorised Service. Otherwise the airbags may fail to trigger in an
accident.

Tyre pressure monitoring* 
If the warning lamp  lights up, the pressure of a tyre has decreased signif-
icantly. Check and adjust the pressure of all the tyres ⇒ page 196.
If the warning lamp  flashes, there is a fault in the system.
Seek professional help.
Further information ⇒  page 201, Tyre pressure *.
Note
If the battery is disconnected the warning lamp  lights up when the igni-
tion is switched on. This warning lamp must switch off after covering a short
distance. Windscreen washer fluid level

If the warning lamp  lights up, the level of windscreen washer fluid in the
tank is very low. Fill the windscreen washer fluid ⇒ page 190, Windscreen
washer.
The informative display indicates:
Refill windscreen washer fluid! 
Turn signals  
Depending on the position of the turn signal lever the left warning lamp on
the left  or right  flashes.
If there is a turn signal fault the warning lamp flashes at approximately dou-
ble speed.
All the turn signals flash in addition to both warning lamps when the hazard
warning lights are switched on.

106Lights and visibility
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. 

190Checking and refilling levels
WARNING
If the fluid level has dropped below the MIN mark,  do not drive on.
Risk of accident! Seek professional help.

Changing the brake fluid
Brake fluid absorbs moisture. Therefore, it gradually absorbs moisture from
the atmosphere. If the water content in the brake fluid is too high, the brake
system could corrode. The water content also reduces the boiling point of
the brake fluid.
The brake fluid must comply with one of the following standards or specifi-
cations:
● VW 50114
● FMVSS 116 DOT4
WARNING
Heavy use of the brakes may cause a vapour lock if the brake fluid is left
in the brake system for too long. This would seriously affect the efficien-
cy of the brakes and the safety of the vehicle.
CAUTION
Brake fluid damages the vehicle paintwork. Windscreen washer
Fig. 128 Engine com-
partment: Windscreen
washer container
The container for the windscreen washer contains the cleaning fluid for the
windscreen or rear window and the headlight washer system. The container
is located in the engine compartment.
The container capacity is approx. 3.5 litres and, in vehicles with windscreen
washer system, approx. 5.4 litres 1)
.
Plain water on its own is not enough to clean the glass and the headlights
properly. We therefore recommend using clean water with a glass cleaning
product to eliminate any stubborn dirt (with an anti-freeze additive in win-
ter).
Although your vehicle has heated windscreen washer jets, anti-freeze
should always be added to the water in winter.
Ethanol can be used where glass cleaner with anti-freeze is unavailable. The
concentration of ethanol must be no greater than 15 %. However, remember
that anti-freeze in this proportion only protects down to -5 °C (23 °F). 
1)
Valid only for certain countries. 5.4 litres for both versions.

191
Checking and refilling levels
CAUTION
● Never mix the windscreen washing water with anti-freeze used for the
cooling system or other additives.
● If the vehicle is equipped with a headlight washer system, only mix a de-
tergent that does not damage polycarbonates with the water.
Note
On topping up the fluid, do not move the filter on the container opening, as
this could contaminate the fluid pipes and, therefore, lead to a windscreen
washer malfunction. 
Battery Introduction
Warning symbols on the battery
SymbolMeaning
Always wear safety glasses!
Battery acid is extremely corrosive. Always wear gloves and
hearing protection!
Keep open flames, sparks, uncovered lights and lit cigarettes
away when working on the battery!
A highly explosive mixture of gases is released when the bat-
tery is under charge!
Keep children away from the battery!
Incorrect handling of the vehicle battery could lead to damage. We therefore
recommend all work on the vehicle battery be performed by an authorised
SEAT dealer.
Always be aware of the danger of injury and scalding as well as the risk of
accident or fire when working on the battery and the electrical system.
Therefore, always observe the warnings and follow all general safety pre-
cautions.
WARNING
● Battery acid is very corrosive, therefore, the battery must be handled
with the utmost care. Wear protective gloves and protect your eyes and
skin when handling batteries. The corrosive fumes in the air irritate and
inflame the respiratory tract and cause conjunctivitis. It corrodes tooth
enamel and causes deep, difficult-to-heal wounds when in contact with
the skin. Repeated contact with diluted acids causes skin disease (in-
flammation, ulcers and fissures). When in contact with water, acids dilute
and develop a great deal of heat.
● Do not tilt the battery, as acid could leak out of the vapour vents. Pro-
tect your eyes with glasses or a protective helmet! Risk of blindness! If
acid should splash into the eyes, rinse the affected eye immediately for
several minutes using clean water. Then seek medical care immediately.
● Neutralize any acid splashes on the skin or clothing with soap solu-
tion as quickly as possible and rinse off with plenty of water. If acid is
swallowed by mistake, consult a doctor immediately.
● Keep children away from the battery.
● Hydrogen is released and a highly explosive mixture of gases is gen-
erated when the battery is under charge. Sparks when disconnecting or
releasing cable terminals with the ignition switched on could also cause
an explosion.
● A short circuit is produced if the battery terminals are bridged, e.g.
using metal objects, cables, etc. Possible consequences of a short cir-
cuit: melting of lead plates, battery explosion and fire, splashing acid. 

Checking fluid levels
From time to time, the levels of the different fluids in the ve-
hicle must be checked. Never fill with incorrect fluids, other-
wise serious damage to the engine may be caused.
