Checking coolant level Fig. 112
Engine compartment: coolant fluid
tank. The coolant expansion tank is located in the
engine compartment of the vehicle.
– Switch the ignition off.
– Open the bonnet ››› page 132.
– Read off the coolant level on coolant ex-
pansion tank ››› Fig. 112 . When the engine
i s
cold, the coolant should be between
marks B (min.) and
A (max.). When the
engine is hot, it may be slightly above mark A (max.).
If the coolant fluid level in the reservoir is too
low, this will be indicated by the red warn-
ing lamp illuminating on the general dash
panel ›››
page 35, Coolant level and tempera-
ture . However, we recommend checking
the coolant level directly in the tank. Coolant fluid loss
Any loss of coolant normally indicates a
leak.
It is not sufficient merely to top up the cool-
ant. The cooling system should be inspected
by an Official Service without delay. CAUTION
In the event of a fault that causes the engine
to overheat, contact an authorised SEAT deal-
er immediately, as this could damage the en-
gine. Topping up coolant
–
Switch the ignition off.
– Wait for the engine to cool down.
– Cover the cap on the coolant expansion
tank ›››
Fig. 112 with a cloth and
carefully
u
nscrew the cap.
– Refill the level of coolant.
– Screw the cap on again until it clicks into
place.
Do not use a different type of additive if the
prescribed anti-freeze additive is not availa-
ble, in the event of an emergency. In this
case, use only water and bring the coolant
concentration back up to the correct level as
soon as possible at an Official Service.
Always top up with unused coolant. Never fill the coolant tank above mark
A (max.)
››› Fig. 112 Excess coolant is forced
out of
the cooling system through the over-
pressure valve in the filler cap of the expan-
sion tank when the engine heats up. WARNING
● The anti-freeze additive and, therefore, the
entire coolant, are a health hazard. Avoid
touching the coolant. Coolant fumes are also
a health hazard. For this reason, always store
the coolant additive in a safe place out of the
reach of children. Risk of poisoning!
● If splashed into eyes, rinse immediately
with clean water and seek immediate medical
attention.
● Seek immediate medical attention if the
coolant is accidentally ingested. CAUTION
If the coolant cannot be topped up under the
given conditions, do not drive on. We rec-
ommend c
ontacting an authorised SEAT deal-
er, as this can damage the engine. 138

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.
