Care and maintenance
●
The modification of the suspension of the
vehicle wheels, including the use of non-per-
mitted combinations of tyres and rims can al-
ter the operation of the airbag system and in-
crease the risk of serious or fatal injuries in
an accident.
● During all jobs on the airbag system, in ad-
dition to the removal and fitting of parts of
the system in the course of other repair jobs,
parts of the airbag system can be damaged.
Therefore in the event of an accident, this
may cause the airbags to activate incorrectly
or not activate at all. Care and cleaning
Introduction Regular and suitable care helps to
maintain
the useful life of your vehicle. This may also
be one of the requirements for upholding any
warranty claims in the event of corrosion or
paint defects.
We recommend you use cleaning products
from the SEAT Original Accessories pro-
gramme available in SEAT dealers. Please fol-
low the instructions for use on the packag-
ing. WARNING
● Cleaning products and other materials used
for car care can damage the health if mis-
used.
● Always keep car care materials in a safe
place out of the reach of children. Risk of poi-
soning!
● When washing the car during the winter
season: Moisture and ice on the brakes may
affect braking efficiency. Risk of accident!
● The ignition must always be switched off
when the car is washed. Risk of accident!
● Do not clean the underside of the car or in-
side the wheel arches without protecting your
hands and arms. You may cut yourself on
sharp metal parts!
● Perfumes and air fresheners inside the ve-
hicle may be harmful to health at high tem-
peratures in the interior. CAUTION
● Check the colour-fastness of your clothing
to avoid damaging or visibly staining the fab-
ric (leather), upholstery and fabric trim.
● Cleaning products containing solvents may
damage the material being cleaned.
● Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.
Risk of damage to paintwork.
● If washing the vehicle with a hose in win-
ter, do not direct the jet of water directly at
the locks or at the door seals or bonnet. Risk
of freezing. ●
Do not use sponges for removing insects or
abrasive household sponges, etc. on painted
surfaces. Risk of damage to the painted sur-
face!
● Do not put stickers on the inner side of the
rear window in areas where heating elements
or the aerial are located. This could cause
damage and, in the case of the aerial, radio
and navigation system reception faults.
● Do not clean the inside of the window with
sharp objects or corrosive or acidic cleaning
products. Risk of damaging the heating ele-
ments or the aerial.
● Do not attach any fragrance or air freshener
to the dash panel. Risk of damage to the
dash panel!
● To avoid damaging the parking aid system
sensors, spray them only briefly at a mini-
mum distance of 10 cm when cleaning the ve-
hicle with a high-pressure or steam cleaner.
● Do not clean the roof panel with a brush.
Risk of damage to the panel surface! For the sake of the environment
● The packaging of the product used to care
for your vehicle is hazardous waste. It must
be disposed of according to current local law.
● Only wash the car in special wash bays.

Checking and refilling levels
Brake fluid Checking brake fluid level Fig. 113
Engine compartment: brake fluid
reservoir. The brake fluid reservoir is located in the en-
gine compartment of the vehicle.
– Switch the ignition off.
– Open the bonnet ››› page 132.
– Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir
››› Fig. 113 . It should be between the “MIN”
and “MAX” m ark
s.
The fluid level drops slightly after a period of
time due to automatic compensation for
brake pad wear. This is quite normal.
However, if the level goes down noticeably in
a short time, or drops below the “MIN” mark,
there may be a leak in the brake system. If
the brake fluid level in the reservoir is too low, this will be indicated by the warning
lamp illuminating on the instrument panel
››› page 33, Brake system . WARNING
If the fluid level has dropped below the MIN
mark, do not continue driving. Risk of acci-
dent! Go t
o a technical service. Changing the brake fluid
Brake fluid absorbs moisture. Therefore, it
gradually absorbs moisture from the atmos-
phere. 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 specifications:
● 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 sys-
tem for too long. This would seriously affect
the efficiency of the brakes and the safety of
the vehicle. CAUTION
Brake fluid damages the vehicle paintwork. Windscreen washer
Fig. 114
Engine compartment: windscreen
washer reservoir. The container for the windscreen washer con-
tains the cleaning fluid for the windscreen or
rear window and the headlight washer sys-
tem. The container is located in the engine
compartment.
