Driver assistance systems
●
To ensure that the parking aid system
works properly, the sensors must be kept
clean (e.g. free of ice).
● If the parking aid system is switched on
when the automatic gearbox selector lever is
in position P, the acoustic signal will be inter-
rupted (the car cannot be moved). Cruise control*
Introduction The cruise control system allows you to drive
at a constant speed of 30 km/h (19 mph) or
higher without having to press the accelera-
tor. However, the speed is only maintained
within the margin permitted by the engine
power and the braking effect of the engine.
The
warning lamp lights up on the general
instrument panel if cruise control is switched
on. WARNING
● For safety reasons the cruise control sys-
tem must not be used in dense traffic or
where roads conditions are poor (e.g. due to
ice, aquaplaning, loose grit, snow). – Risk of
accident!
● The programmed speed can only be re-es-
tablished if it is not too high for current traf-
fic conditions. ●
Always switch the cruise control system off
after using it in order to avoid involuntary
use. CAUTION
● The cruise control cannot maintain a con-
stant speed when the vehicle is moving
downhill. The vehicle tends to accelerate un-
der its own weight. Therefore, shift down or
use the brake pedal in good time to slow the
vehicle. Note
● In vehicles with an automatic gearbox, the
cruise control system cannot be switched on
if the selector lever is in position P, N or R.
● In vehicles with a manual gearbox, the
cruise control cannot be switched on if first
gear or reverse gear is engaged. Setting speed

serious damage to the engine! Contact an au-
thorised SEAT dealer to clean the engine fuel
system.
● Water allowed to collect in the fuel filter
can cause engine faults.
● Your vehicle is not prepared for use of bio-
fuel (RME) and, therefore, this fuel must not
be used for refuelling or driving. The use of
biofuel (RME) could cause serious damage to
the engine or the fuel system. Engine compartment
Introduction Always be aware of the danger of injury and
scalding as well as the risk of accident or fire
when working in the engine compartment,
e.g. when checking and refilling fluids.
Therefore, always observe the warnings and
follow all general safety precautions. The en-
gine compartment is a dangerous area
.WARNING
● Never open the bonnet if you see steam,
smoke or coolant escaping from the engine
compartment. Risk of scalding! Wait until no
steam or coolant can be seen before opening
the bonnet.
● Switch off the engine and remove the key
from the ignition. ●
Engage neutral in vehicles with manual
gearbox and move the selector lever to posi-
tion P in vehicles with automatic gearbox.
● Apply the handbrake firmly.
● Wait for the engine to cool down.
● For safety reasons, the bonnet must always
be closed when the vehicle is moving. There-
fore, after closing the bonnet always check
that it is properly secured.
● Should you notice that the bonnet is not
safely secured when the vehicle is moving,
stop the vehicle immediately and close the
bonnet properly. Risk of accident!
● Keep children away from the engine com-
partment.
● Do not touch hot engine parts. Risk of
burns!
● Never spill fluids on hot engine compart-
ments. These fluids can cause a fire (e.g. anti-
freeze in coolant)!
● Take care not to cause short circuits in the
electrical system, especially when working
on the battery.
● Never touch the radiator fan when the en-
gine is hot. The fan may start running sud-
denly!
● Never cover the engine with additional in-
sulating materials such as a blanket. Risk of
fire!
● Do not unscrew the cap on the coolant ex-
pansion tank when the engine is hot. The
cooling system is under pressure! ●
Protect face, hands and arms from any hot
steam or hot coolant released by covering the
cap with a large, thick rag when opening the
expansion tank.
● Do not leave any objects, such as cloths or
tools, in the engine compartment.
● When working underneath the vehicle, se-
cure it so that it cannot roll away and support
it safely on suitable supports. The hydraulic
jack is not sufficient for this purpose. Risk of
injuries!
● If any tests have to be performed with the
engine running, there is an extra safety risk
from rotating parts, such as the drive belt, al-
ternator and radiator fan, etc., and from the
high-voltage ignition system. You should also
note the following:
– Never touch the electrical wiring of the
ignition system.
– Keep away from moving engine parts
when wearing jewellery, loose clothing or
long hair. Risk of fatal injuries! All jewel- lery must be removed, hair tied back and
close-fitting clothing worn.
● Observe the following additional warnings
if work on the fuel system or the electrical
system is necessary.
–Always disconnect the battery from the
on-board network.
– Do not smoke.
– Never work near naked flames.
– Always keep an approved fire extinguish-
er immediately available. 132
Emergencies
on battery). Failure to comply could result in
an explosion.
●
Never use jump leads when one of the bat-
teries is frozen. Danger of explosion! Even af-
ter the battery has thawed, battery acid could
leak and cause chemical burns. If a battery
freezes, it should be replaced.
● Keep sparks, flames and lighted cigarettes
away from batteries, danger of explosion.
Failure to comply could result in an explo-
sion.
● Observe the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the jump leads.
● Do not connect the negative cable from the
other vehicle directly to the negative terminal
of the flat battery. The gas emitted from the
battery could be ignited by sparks. Danger of
explosion.
● Do not attach the negative cable from the
other vehicle to parts of the fuel system or to
the brake line.
● The non-insulated parts of the battery
clamps must not be allowed to touch. The
jump lead attached to the positive battery
terminal must not touch metal parts of the ve-
hicle, this can cause a short circuit.
● Position the leads in such a way that they
cannot come into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
● Do not lean on the batteries. This could re-
sult in chemical burns. Note
The vehicles must not touch each other, oth-
erwise electricity could flow as soon as the
positive terminals are connected. Towing the vehicle
Introduction Vehicles with manual gearbox can be towed
using a towbar or towrope. They can also be
towed with either the front or rear wheels lif-
ted off the road.
Vehicles with automatic gearbox can be tow-
ed using a towbar or towrope. They can also
be towed with the front wheels lifted off the
road. If the vehicle is towed with the rear
wheels lifted off the road the automatic gear-
box will be damaged!
It is safer to tow a vehicle with a
towbar. A
towrope should only be used if you do not
h av
e a towbar.
Follow the instructions below when towing a
vehicle:
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
– Engage the clutch very gently when starting
to move or on vehicles with automatic gear-
box press the accelerator carefully. –
On vehicles with a manual gearbox, the
towrope must be taut before driving off.
Maximum towing speed is 50 km/h (31
mph).
Note
s for the driver of the towed vehicle
– The ignition should be switched on so that
the steering wheel lock is not engaged and
the turn signals, horn and windscreen wip-
ers and washers can be used.
– Put the gear lever in neutral or move the se-
lector lever to position N (automatic gear-
bo
x).
The brake servo and power steering only
work when the engine is running. Considera-
bly more effort is required on the brake pedal
and steering wheel when the engine is
switched off.
Ensure the towrope remains taut at all times
when towing. CAUTION
● Do not tow-start the engine. Risk of engine
damage! In vehicles with a catalytic convert-
er, fuel that has not been burned could reach
the catalytic converter and catch fire in it.
This could damage and destroy the catalytic
converter. You may use the battery from an-
other vehicle to help you start your engine

Type plate
The type plate ››› Fig. 165 is located at the
bott om of
the front driver side door pillar be-
tween the front and rear doors.
The type plate indicates the following
weights:
Total permitted weight of the vehicle
when loaded
Maximum authorised weight of the vehi-
cle with a trailer, when the vehicle oper-
ates as a tractor
Maximum permitted load of the front axle
Maximum permitted load of the rear axle
Weight in running order
The weight in running order only has one ap-
proximate value. This value corresponds to
the minimum operative weight of the vehicle
without additional equipment that increases
its weight, i.e. air conditioning, spare wheel,
towing bracket.
The running order weight also includes 75 kg
of the weight of the driver and service fluids,
in addition to a fuel tank at 90% capacity.
From the difference between the total permit-
ted weight in running order the approximate
carrying capacity can be calculated ››› .
The carrying capacity must include:
● occupants,

all pieces of equipment and other weights,
● roof loads including the roof rack,
● equipment that is not included in the run-
ning order weight,
● when using the towing bracket, the draw-
bar load (max. 50 kg)
Calculating fuel consumption and CO 2
emissions according to the ECE regulations
and the EU specifications
Calculation of fuel consumption for urban
driving begins when cold-starting the engine.
Then, normal city driving is simulated.
In calculating extra-urban driving fuel con-
sumption, braking and acceleration is done
in all gears, as in daily use of the vehicle.
Driving speed varies within a range of 0 and
120 km/h (75 mph).
The consumption value in combined driving
is composed of 37% of the value of urban
driving and 63% of the value of extra-urban
driving. WARNING
The maximum permitted weight values must
not be exceeded – Risk of an accident and
damage to the vehicle! Note
● If you wish to calculate the exact weight of
your vehicle please contact a SEAT dealer. ●
Depending on the volume of equipment,
driving style, road conditions, weather condi-
tions and the condition of the vehicle, con-
sumption values can differ from the theoreti-
cal values stated here. Information on fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption The consumption and emission details
shown on the vehicle data sticker differ from
one vehicle to another.
Vehicle fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions
appear on the vehicle data sticker in the
spare wheel well, inside the boot and on the
rear cover of the Maintenance Programme.
The fuel consumption and CO 2 emission val-
ues refer to the weight category assigned to
your vehicle according to the engine and
gearbox combination, as well as the specific
equipment fitted, and is only used to com-
pare between the different models.
The fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions do
not depend only on the performance of the
vehicle, they can also differ from the estab-
lished values depending on other factors
such as driving style, road conditions, traffic
conditions, environmental conditions, load
and number of passengers. »
