The power sockets and the connected acces-
sories will only operate when the ignition is
on or when the engine is running. Improper
use of the sockets or electrical accessories
can lead to serious injuries or cause a fire. To
avoid the risk of injury, never leave children
alone inside the vehicle. Note
● The use of electrical appliances with the
engine switched off will cause a battery dis-
charge.

●
Never leave your vehicle unattended, espe-
cially when the rear lid is open. Children
could climb into the luggage compartment,
closing the door behind them; they will be
trapped and run the risk of death.
● Never allow children to play in or around
the vehicle. Close and lock all the doors and
rear lid when you leave the vehicle. Before
you lock the vehicle, make sure that there are
no adults or children in the vehicle.
● Please observe the notes on the ››› page 29. CAUTION
Hard objects on the rear shelf could chafe
against the wires of the heating element in
the heated rear window and cause damage. Note
● The tyre pressure must be adjusted accord-
ing to the load. When necessary check the
tyre pressures on the label located on the in-
side fuel tank flap ››› page 177.
● Air c ir
culation in the vehicle helps reduce
fogging of the windows. Used air escapes
through ventilation slits in the side trim of
the luggage compartment. Ensure that the
ventilation slots are never covered.
● Straps for securing the load to the fasten-
ing rings* are commercially available from ac-
cessory shops. Fastening rings*
3 Applies to the model: IBIZA ST
Fig. 118
Location of fastening rings in lug-
gage compartment. There may be four fastening rings included in
the luggage compartment for fastening lug-
gage and other objects
››› Fig. 118 (arrows).
– Alw

ays use suitable and undamaged straps
to secure luggage and other objects to the
fastening rings ››› in Loading the lug-
gage compartment on page 108.
– Pull up the fastening rings to attach the
straps.
Example: An object weighing 4.5 kg is lying
unsecured in the vehicle. During a frontal col-
lision at a speed of 50 km/h (31 mph), this
object generates a force corresponding to 20
times its weight. That means that the effec-
tive weight of the object increases to approxi-
mately 90 kg. You can imagine the severity of the injuries which might be sustained if this
“object” strikes an occupant as it flies
through the interior of the vehicle. This in-
creased risk of injury will be further increased
if a loose object is struck by an inflating air-
bag.
WARNING
● If pieces of baggage or other objects are se-
cured to the fastening rings with inappropri-
ate or damaged retaining cords, injuries
could result in the event of braking manoeu-
vres or accidents.
● Never secure a child seat on the fastening
rings. Luggage net*

The storage compartment can be accessed
from the rear seats by lifting the front part of
the rear shelf ››› Fig. 122. WARNING
Do not place heavy or hard objects on the
rear shelf, because they will endanger the ve-
hicle occupants in case of sudden braking. CAUTION
● Before closing the rear lid, ensure that the
rear shelf is correctly fitted.
● An overloaded luggage compartment could
mean that the rear shelf is not correctly seat-
ed and it may be bent or damaged.
● If the luggage compartment is overloaded,
remove the tray.
● The load in the storage compartment
should not exceed 3 kg. Note
● Ensure that, when placing items of clothing
on the luggage compartment cover, rear visi-
bility is not reduced.
● If your vehicle has a storage compartment*,
only place light objects inside. Roof carrier system*
Introduction Please observe the following points if you in-
tend to carry loads on the roof:
● For safety reasons, only luggage racks and
accessories supplied by SEAT Official Serv-
ices are recommended.
● It is essential that you follow the assembly
instructions included with the bars exactly,
being especially careful to position front and
rear luggage compartment cover bars on the
special housings in the longitudinal bars.
You must also respect their position accord-
ing to the direction of travel indicated in the
assembly manual. Not following these in-
structions may damage the bodywork.
● Pay special attention to the tightening tor-
que of the attachment bolts and check them
following a short journey. If necessary, re-
tighten the bolts and check them at regular
intervals.
● Distribute the load evenly. A maximum load
of 40 kg is permitted for each roof rack sys-
tem support bar, the load must be distrib-
uted evenly along the entire length. However,
the maximum load permitted for the entire
roof (including the support system) of 75 kg
must not be exceeded nor the total weight
recommended for the entire vehicle. See the
“Technical Data” section. ●
When transporting heavy or large objects
on the roof, any change in the normal vehicle
behaviour due to a change in the centre of
gravity or an increased wind resistance must
be taken into account. For this reason, a suit-
able speed and driving style must be used.
● On vehicles fitted with a sliding/tilting sun-
roof*, make sure it does not hit the load on
the roof upon opening.

Note
Always read the assembly instructions that
come with the crossbars and the roof carrier
system carefully and keep them in the vehi-
cle. Air conditioning
General notes The pollution filter
The pollution filter (a combined particulate
filter and active carbon filter) serves as a bar-
rier against impurities in the outside air, in-
cluding dust and pollen.
For the climate control system to work with
maximum efficiency, the pollution filter must
be replaced at the specified intervals in the
Maintenance Programme.
If the filter loses efficiency prematurely due
to use in areas reaching very high pollution
levels, the pollen filter must be changed
more frequently than stated in the Service
Schedule.
CAUTION
● If you suspect that the air conditioner is
damaged, switch it off with the A/C button to
prevent further damage and have it checked
by a specialised workshop.
● Repairs to the air conditioner require spe-
cialist knowledge and special tools. There-
fore, we recommend you to take the vehicle
to a specialised workshop. Note
● If the humidity and temperature outside the
vehicle are high, condensation can drip off
the evaporator in the cooling system and
form a pool underneath the vehicle. This is
normal and does not indicate a leak.
● Keep the air intake slots in front of the
windscreen free of snow, ice and leaves to en-
sure heating and cooling are not impaired,
and to prevent the windows from misting
over.
● The air from the vents flows through the ve-
hicle interior and is extracted by slots in the
luggage compartment designed for this pur-
pose. Therefore, you should avoid obstruct-
ing these slots with any kind of object.
● The air conditioner operates most effective-
ly with the windows and the sliding/tilting
sunroof* closed. However, if the temperature
inside the vehicle is excessive because of the
sun, the air inside can be cooled faster by
opening the windows for a short time.
● Do not smoke while air recirculation mode
is on, as smoke drawn into the air condition-
ing system leaves residue on the evaporator,
producing a permanent unpleasant odour.
● At low outside temperatures, the compres-
sor switches off automatically and cannot be
switched on even with the AUTO button.
● It is advisable to turn on the air condition-
ing at least once a month, to lubricate the
system gaskets and prevent leaks. If a de-
crease in the cooling capacity is detected, a » 113Technical specifications

quired direction.

not recommended to switch air recirculation
on.

Air rec

irculation mode D on (a lamp lights
up in red) prevents strong odours from out-
side from entering the vehicle, for example
when passing through a tunnel or in a traffic
jam ››› .
When the outside temperature is low, air re-
circulation mode improves heating perform-
ance by heating air from the interior instead
of cold air from the outside. WARNING
● For your safety, the windows should never
be fogged up or covered with snow or ice.
This is essential to ensure good visibility.
Please familiarise yourself with the correct
operation of the heating and ventilation sys-
tem, including the demist/defrost functions
for the windows. ●
In air recirculation mode, no cold air from
the outside enters the vehicle interior. The
windows can quickly fog over if the heating is
switched off. Therefore, never leave the air re-
circulation mode switched on for a long time
(risk of accident). Note
● Please consider the general notes
