Seat belts
The reasons why we should
wear seat belts Number of seats Your vehicle has
five seats, two in the front
and thr ee in the r
ear. Each seat is equipped
with a three-point seat belt.
In some versions, your vehicle is approved
only for four seats. Two front seats and two
r e

ar seats. WARNING
● Never transport more than the permitted
amount of people in your vehicle.
● Every vehicle occupant must properly fas-
ten and wear the seat belt belonging to his or
her seat. Children must be protected with an
appropriate child restraint system. Seat belt warning lamp* 
The control lamp illuminates to remind the
driver to fasten his seat belt.
Before starting the vehicle: –
Fasten your seat belt securely.
– Instruct your passengers to fasten their
seat belts properly before driving off.
– Protect children by using a child seat ac-
cording to the child's height and weight.
The control lamp 1)
on the instrument panel
lights up  if the driver or passenger has not
fastened their belt when the ignition is
switched on.
If, when starting to drive, speed surpasses
25 km/h (15 mph) approx. and no seat belts
are worn or they are unfastened during the
drive, a warning sound will be heard for a few
seconds. The warning light will also flash .
The  lamp goes out when the driver and
passenger seat belts are fastened with the ig-
nition switched on. Seat belt protection Fig. 6
Drivers with properly worn seat belts
will not be thrown forward in the event of sud-
den braking Properly worn seat belts hold the occupants
in the proper position. They also help prevent
uncontrolled movements that may result in
serious injury and reduce the risk of being
thrown out of the vehicle in case of an acci-
dent.
Vehicle occupants wearing their seat belts
correctly benefit greatly from the ability of the
belts to absorb kinetic energy. In addition,
the front part of your vehicle and other pas-
sive safety features (such as the airbag sys-
tem) are designed to absorb the kinetic ener-
gy released in a collision. Taken together, all
these features reduce the releasing kinetic
energy and consequently, the risk of injury.

and the airbag system is triggered in an acci-
dent; as this could cause serious injury or
even death.
●
A suitable child seat can protect your child!
● Never leave a child alone in the child seat
or inside the vehicle because depending on
the season, very high temperatures may be
reached inside a parked vehicle, which could
be fatal.
● Children who are less than 1.5 metres tall
must not wear a normal seat belt without a
child seat, as this could cause injuries to the
abdominal and neck areas during a sudden
braking manoeuvre or in an accident.
● Only one child may occupy a child seat
››› page 26, Child seats. Child seats
Categorisation of child seats into
groups Use only child seats that are officially ap-
proved and suitable for the child.
Child seats are subject to the regulation ECE-
R 44. ECE-R stands for: Economic Commis-
sion for Europe Regulation.
The child seats are grouped into 5 catego-
ries: Group 0: Up to 10 kg (up to around 9
months)
Group 0+
: Up to 13 kg (up to around 18
months)
Gr oup 1: From 9 to 18 kg (up to around 4
years old)
Group 2
: from 15 to 25 kg (up to approx. 7
years old)
Group 3: From 22 to 36 kg (over around 7
ye

ars old)
Child seats that have been tested and ap-
proved under the ECE R44 standard bear the
test mark on the seat (the letter E in a circle
with the test number below it).
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and
observe any statutory requirements when in-
stalling and using child seats.
We recommend you to always include the
manufacturer's Child Seat Instruction Manual
together with the on-board documentation.
SEAT recommends you use child seats from
the
Original Accessories Catalogue . These
child seats have been designed and tested
for use in SEAT vehicles. You can find the
right child seat for your model and age group
at SEAT dealers. WARNING
Read and always observe information and
warnings concerning the use of child seats

Information system
Current fuel consumption
Current fuel consumption is indicated on the
display in litres/100 km (miles) 1)
. You can
adapt your driving style to the required con-
sumption with the assistance of this indica-
tor.
The consumption is displayed in litres per
hour while the vehicle is stopped or at idling
speed 2)
.
Average fuel consumption
The display shows the average fuel consump-
tion in litres/100 km 1)
calculated since the
memory was last reset ››› page 39.
If you wish to measure the average fuel con-
sumption for a specific period, the memory
must first be deleted ››› page 40. While driv-
ing the first 300 m after deleting the memory
this value is not shown on the display.
The value is updated regularly while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
Operating range
The approximate operating range is indicated
in kilometres (miles) on the display. It shows how far the vehicle can travel with the availa-
ble fuel using the same driving conditions as
a reference.
The operating range is calculated in sections
of 10 kilometres (miles). When the fuel
gauge enters the reserve zone, the operating
range is displayed in steps of 5 kilometres.
The operating range is calculated based on
the fuel consumption during the last 50 kilo-
metres (miles). The operating range increa-
ses when driving in a more economical man-
ner.
When the memory is reset (after disconnect-
ing the battery), the operating range is calcu-
lated with a 10 litres per 100 km consump-
tion and adjusts to represent the current driv-
ing style.
Distance
The display shows the distance you have cov-
ered since the memory was last reset
››› page 39 . If you wish to measure the dura-
tion of a j
ourney from a specific moment, the
memory must be deleted ››› page 40.
The maximum value for both memories is
1999 km (miles), or 9999 km (miles) in vehi- cles fitted with an informative display. The
memory is reset if this value is exceeded.
Average speed
The display shows the average speed in
km/h (mph) calculated from the last time the
memory was reset

Heating and air conditioning
Heating and air conditioning Heating and air conditioning General notes The power of the heating depends on the
temperature of the coolant. Therefore, maxi-
mum power is only obtained when the en-
gine has reached operating temperature.
The temperature and humidity of the air in-
side the vehicle decrease when the cooling
system is turned on. This therefore increases
the comfort of all vehicle occupants when
outside temperatures and humidity are high.
It also helps prevent the windows from mist-
ing over during cold periods of the year.
The air recirculation system can be switched
on temporarily to increase the cooling effect.
Keep the air intake slots in front of the wind-
screen clear of ice, snow or leaves to ensure
unimpaired heating and cooling.
When the air conditioning is on,
condensa-
tion can drip from the evaporator in the air
c oo
ling system and form a pool underneath
the vehicle. This is normal and does not indi-
cate a leak! WARNING
● All windows must be clear of ice, snow and
condensation for driving safety. Therefore, make sure you familiarise yourself with the
correct use of heating and ventilation, win-
dow demisting and defrosting and cooling.
●
Never use the air recirculation system for
too long, as it prevents fresh air from enter-
ing the vehicle and used air can cause tired-
ness, reduce your attention span and cause
the windows to mist over. This increases the
risk of an accident. Switch off the air recircu-
lation system as soon as the windows begin
to mist over. Note
● Used air escapes through ventilation slots
in the rear of the luggage compartment.
● Smoking is not recommended while the air
recirculation system is in use, as the smoke
drawn from the interior of the vehicle settles
in the evaporator of the air conditioning sys-
tem. This causes a persistent, unpleasant
smell while the system is running that is
time-consuming and expensive (evaporator
replacement) to eliminate.
● To ensure proper functioning, never cover
the air outlets. Economic use of the air conditioning
system
When the air conditioning is switched on, the
compressor consumes engine power and has
influence on fuel consumption.If the vehicle interior has overheated due to
excessive solar radiation, it is best to open
the windows or doors to allow the hot air to
escape.
While in motion, the air conditioning should
not be switched on if the windows are open.
If the interior temperature can be reached
without switching on the air conditioning, the
fresh air mode should be used.
For the sake of the environment
Saving fuel reduces emissions. Faults
If the air conditioning does not work at out-
side temperatures above +5 °C (+41 °F) then
the system is faulty. This may be due to one
of the following reasons:
● One of the fuses has blown. Check the fuse
and replace if necessary ›››
page 163.
● The air conditioning compressor has
switched off temporarily because of in-
creased engine coolant temperature
››› page 31 .
If

you cannot repair the fault yourself or
where cooling power continues to drop,
switch off the system. Contact a specialised
service.
