2014 Seat Mii gearbox

Care and maintenance
Check first with a specialised workshop that
understands the technical possibilities of in-
stallation if you wish to use a two-way radio
with a transmitting power of over 10 watts.
SEAT recommends taking your car in for tech-
nical service.
All legal requirements, together with the in-
structions for the use of two-way radios must
be observed. WARNING
If the two-way radio is not securely fastened
in position, it could be sent flying around the
vehicle in the event of sharp braking, sudden
manoeuvres or accident, causing injury.
● While driving, two-way radios must be se-
curely fastened in position, outside the air-
bags deployment zones, or safely stowed
away. WARNING
When using a two-way radio without a con-
nection to an exterior aerial, the maximum
permitted levels of electromagnetic radiation
may be exceeded. This is also the case if the
aerial has not been correctly installed.
● You should only use a two-way radio inside
the vehicle if it has first been correctly con-
nected to an exterior aerial. Information stored by the control
units
Your vehicle is fitted at the factory with a ser-
ies of electronic control units responsible for
the engine and gearbox management. In ad-
dition, the control units supervise the per-
formance of the exhaust gas system and the
airbag systems.
Therefore, while the vehicle is being driven,
these electronic control units are continuous-
ly analysing the vehicle data. In the event of
faults or deviations from the theoretical val-
ues, only this data is stored. Normally, the
warning lamps on the instrument panel light
up in the event of faults.
This data can only be read and analysed us-
ing special equipment.
The storing of the data allows specialised
workshops to detect and repair faults. Stored
data may include:
● Data relating to the engine or the gearbox
● Speed
● Direction of travel
● Braking force
● Detection of seat belt
The vehicle control units never record conver-
sations held by passengers in the vehicle.
In vehicles equipped with an emergency call
function via the mobile phone or other appli- ances connected in the vehicle, it is possible
to send the vehicle position. If the control
unit records an accident with airbag activa-
tion, the system may automatically send a
signal. This will depend on the network oper-
ator. Normally, transmission is only possible
in areas with good coverage.
Event Data Recorder
The vehicle is
not
fitted with an event data re-
c or
der.
An event data recorder temporarily stores the
vehicle information. Therefore, in the event of
an accident, it is possible to obtain detailed
information about how the accident occur-
red. Vehicles with airbag systems can store
data relating to impact speed, seat belt sta-
tus, seat positions and airbag activation
times may be stored, etc. The volume of data
depends on the manufacturer.
Event data recorders can only be mounted
with authorisation from the vehicle owner
and, in some countries, they are governed by
local legislation.
Reprogramming control units
On the whole, all the data required for the
component management is stored in the con-
trol units. The programming of certain con-
venience functions, such as the turn signals,
individual door opening and instructions on
the display can be modified using special »

Changing a wheel Introduction Some vehicle versions and models do not
have a factory-fitted jack or box spanner. In
this case, we recommend consulting a Speci-
alised workshop to change the wheel.
You should only change the wheels yourself if
the vehicle is parked in a safe place, you are
familiar with the procedure and safety stand-
ards and you have all the necessary tools!
Otherwise, you should seek professional as-
sistance.
WARNING
Changing a wheel can be dangerous, espe-
cially on the hard shoulder. Please observe
the following rules to minimise the risk of in-
jury:
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Park at a safe distance from surrounding traf-
fic to change a wheel.
● When changing a wheel, keep all passen-
gers, and particularly children, a safe dis-
tance away from the work area.
● Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn
other road users.
● Ensure the ground on which you park is flat
and solid. If necessary, support the jack on a
wide solid base. ●
If you are changing a wheel yourself, you
should be familiar with the required proce-
dure. Otherwise, you should seek professio-
nal assistance.
● Only use suitable tools that are not dam-
aged when changing a wheel.
● Always stop the engine, apply the hand-
brake lever firmly and place the selector lever
in position P, or engage a gear for a manual
gearbox to reduce the risk of the vehicle mov-
ing accidentally.
● Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bolts checked as soon as possible with a reli-
able torque wrench. WARNING
If the wheel trims are not appropriate or not
fitted correctly, they could cause major acci-
dents or damage.
● Incorrectly mounted wheel trims may come
off while driving and endanger other road
users.
● Damaged trims must never be mounted on
the wheels.
● Always ensure that the brake ventilation
and cooling is not cut off or blocked. This is
also valid if hubcaps are fitted later. If there
is not enough air, you may require signifi-
cantly longer braking distances. CAUTION
Remove and remount wheel trims taking care
to avoid damage to the vehicle. Hubcaps
Fig. 124
Remove the hubcap of the steel
wheel trim In order to access the wheel bolts, first re-
move the hubcap.
Removing and fitting the hubcap
● To remove , take the vehicle tool kit wire
hook and att
ach it to the edge of the wheel
trim ››› Fig. 124

Emergencies
● In outside temperatures below -20 °C
(-4 °F).
● In the event of cuts or perforations in the
tyre greater than 4 mm.
● If you have been driving with very low pres-
sure or a completely flat tyre.
● If the sealant bottle has passed its use by
date. WARNING
Using the tyre mobility system can be dan-
gerous, especially when filling the tyre at the
roadside. Please observe the following rules
to minimise the risk of injury:
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Park it at a safe distance from surrounding
traffic to fill the tyre.
● Ensure the ground on which you park is flat
and solid.
● All passengers and particularly children
must keep a safe distance from the work area.
● Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn
other road users.
● Use the tyre mobility system only if you are
familiar with the necessary procedures. Oth-
erwise, you should seek professional assis-
tance.
● The tyre mobility set is intended for tempo-
rary emergency use only until you can reach
the nearest specialised workshop.
● Replace the repaired tyre with the tire mo-
bility set as soon as possible. ●
The sealant is a health hazard and must be
cleaned immediately if it comes into contact
with the skin.
● Always keep the tire mobility set out of the
reach of small children.
● Never use an equivalent jack, even if it has
been approved for your vehicle.
● Always stop the engine, apply the hand-
brake lever firmly and engage gear if using a
manual gearbox, in order to reduce the risk of
vehicle involuntary movement. WARNING
A tyre filled with sealant does not have the
same performance properties as a conven-
tional tyre.
● Never drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).
● Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and
fast cornering.
● Drive for only 10 minutes at a maximum
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) and then check
the tyre. For the sake of the environment
Dispose of used or expired sealant observing
any legal requirements. Note
● A new bottle of sealant can be purchased at
SEAT dealerships. ●

CAUTION
● Carefully fit and remove the towline anchor-
age and its cover to avoid damage to the ve-
hicle (e.g. paintwork).
● When towing, fuel could enter the catalytic
converter and cause damage! Note
Fitting a towline anchorage to the rear bump-
er is not possible. The vehicle is not suitable
for towing other vehicles. Instructions for tow starting
In general, the vehicle should not be started
by towing. Jump-starting is much more pref-
erable
›
› ›
page 181.
For technical reasons, the following vehicles
can
not be tow started:
● Vehicles with an automatic gearbox.
● If the vehicle battery is flat, it is possible
that the engine control unit does not operate
correctly.
However, if your vehicle must absolutely be
tow-started (manual gearbox):
● Put it into second or third gear.
● Keep the clutch pressed down. ●
Switch on the ignition and the hazard warn-
ing lights.
● Release the clutch when both vehicles are
moving.
● As soon as the engine starts, press the
clutch and move the gear lever into neutral.
This helps to prevent a collision with the tow-
ing vehicle. CAUTION
When tow-starting, fuel could enter the cata-
lytic converter and damage it. Notes on towing
Tow rope or tow bar
When towing, the tow bar is the safest and
vehicle friendly way. You should only use a
tow rope if you do not have a tow bar.
A tow rope should be slightly elastic to avoid
damage to both vehicles. It is advisable to
use a tow rope made of synthetic fibre or sim-
ilarly elastic material.
Only secure the tow rope or tow bar to the
towline anchorage or specially designed fit-
ting.
Towing vehicles with an automatic gearbox
Note the following for a towed vehicle:●
Make sure the gear selector lever is in the N
position.
● Do not drive faster than 50 km/h (30 mph)
when towing a vehicle.
● Do not tow further than 50 km (30 miles).
● If a breakdown truck is used, the vehicle
must be towed with the front wheels raised.
Situations in which the vehicle should not be
towed
In the following cases, the vehicle should not
be towed but transported on a trailer or spe-
cial vehicle:
● If the vehicle gearbox does not contain lu-
bricant due to a fault.
● If the battery is flat and the steering cannot
be unlocked as a result, the electronic steer-
ing lock and electronic parking brake cannot
be disengaged.
● If the vehicle to be towed has an automatic
gearbox and the distance to be covered is
greater than 50 km (30 miles). Note
The vehicle can only be towed if the steering
lock electronic gearbox lock is deactivated. If
the vehicle has no power supply or there is
an electric system fault, the engine must be
started using jump leads to deactivate the
steering column electronic gearbox lock. 184

whether additional equipment is fitted, for
different models and for special vehicles.
Kerb weight values shown in the following ta-
ble apply to a vehicle with driver (75 kg), liq-
uids including a fuel tank 90% full, in addi-
tion to tools and a spare wheel
››› . The
kerb weight indicated increases with optional
equipment and retrofitting of accessories,
while proportionally reducing carrying ca-
pacity.
The load is equivalent to the following
weights:
● Passengers.
● Total equipment.
● Roof load, included in the carrier. WARNING
Exceeding the maximum authorised weight
and the load on the axles could cause dam-
age to the vehicle, accidents and serious in-
juries.
● The real load on the axles should never ex-
ceed the maximum permitted.
● The load and its distribution in the vehicle
have effects on the vehicle handling and the
braking ability. Always drive at a suitable
speed. CAUTION
Distribute the load as uniformly and as low
down on the vehicle as possible. When trans-
porting heavy objects in the luggage com-
partment, these should be placed as far for-
ward as possible or over the rear axle to have
as little influence on handling as possible. Information on fuel consumption
The consumption and emission values indi-
cated do not refer to one specific vehicle.
They are only to be used to compare the val-
ues of the different vehicle versions. The fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions of a vehicle
not only depend on the effective use of fuel.
They also depend on your driving style and
other non-technical factors.
Calculation of fuel consumption
Fuel consumption and emission values are
determined according to the current version
of the 715/2007/EC or 80/1268/EEC regula-
tion and are valid for the vehicle kerb weight.
The specifications do not
refer to an individu-
al

vehicle. To measure the fuel consumption,
two measuring cycles are carried out on a
rolling road test bed. The test criteria are as
