2015 Seat Alhambra turn signal

Advice
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 radi-
us of action of the airbags, 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. For example, in vehicles with airbag sys-
tems, data relating to speed of impact, seat
belt status, seat positions and airbag activa-
tion times may be stored. 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

and a serious accident.
● If the fuel level is too low then the fuel sup-
ply to the engine can become irregular espe-
cially on slopes.
● If the engine “is choked” or stalls due to
lack of or irregularity of the fuel supply, the
power steering as well as all of the driver as-
sistance systems including braking assis-
tance will stop working.
● Always refuel when there is only one quar-
ter of the fuel tank left to avoid running out of
fuel. CAUTION
● Always pay attention to any lit control
lamps and to the corresponding descriptions
and instructions to avoid damage to the vehi-
cle.
● Never run the fuel tank completely dry. An
irregular fuel supply may lead to ignition
faults and unburnt fuel could enter the ex-
haust system. This could damage the catalyt-
ic converter filter or the diesel particulate fil-
ter! Note

Advice
● After towing, remove the towline anchorage
by turning it clockwise and put the cover
b ac
k in place. CAUTION
The towline anchorage must always be com-
pletely and firmly tightened. Otherwise, it
could be released while towing and tow-start-
ing. Fitting the rear towline anchorage
Fig. 195
On the rear bumper, to the right
hand side: Tow ring in position The location for the removable towline an-
chorage is on the right-hand side of the rear
bumper
››› Fig. 195 . For
vehicles with a facto-
ry

fitted towing bracket , there is no fitting be-
hind the cover to insert the towline anchor-
age. For towing, fit and use the tow hitch
››› page 179, ››› . Note the instructions for towing
››› page 256.
Fitting the towline anchorage to the rear for
vehicles without factory fitted tow hitch ● Take the towline anchorage from the vehi-
cle tool kit in the luggage compartment
››› page 244 .
● Pr e

ss on the upper cover and carefully re-
move it back. This may require some
strength. Allow the cover to hang.
● Screw in the towline anchorage into its po-
sition anticlockwise as far as it will go ›
›› .
Use a suitable tool to firmly tighten the tow-
line anchorage in its location.
● After towing, remove the towline anchorage
by turning it clockwise and put the cover
b ac

k in place. CAUTION
● The towline anchorage must always be
completely and firmly tightened. Otherwise,
it could be released while towing and tow-
starting.
● Vehicles with a factory fitted towing brack-
et, can only be used for towing with a tow
bar, specially designed to fit on a tow hitch
ball. Otherwise, the tow hitch ball and the ve-
hicle may be damaged. Otherwise, a tow rope
should be used. Towing advice
Towing requires some experience, especially
when using a tow rope. Both drivers should
be familiar with the technique required for
towing. For this reason, inexperienced drivers
should abstain.
While driving, avoid excessive traction forces
and jerking. When towing on an unpaved
road, there is always a risk of overloading
and damaging the anchorage points.
If the vehicle is towed, with the hazard warn-
ing lights on and the ignition switched on,
the turn signal may be used to indicate
changes of direction. Simply operate the turn
signal lever as usual. Meanwhile, the hazard
warning lights will go off. When the turn sig-
nal lever is returned to the rest position, the
hazard warning lights will be turned on auto-
matically.
Notes for the driver of the towed vehicle
●
Leave the ignition on to avoid locking the
steering wheel, to release the electronic
parking brake and to activate the turn sig-
nals, the horn as well as the window wipers
and window washers.
● As the power assisted steering does not
work if the engine is not running, you will
need more strength to steer than normally.

Fuses and bulbs
WARNING
Failure to replace bulbs correctly may cause
serious accidents.
● Before carrying out any work in the engine
compartment please read and observe the
warnings ››› page 214. In any vehicle, the en-
gine c omp
artment is a hazardous area and
could cause severe injury.
● Discharge lamps work with high-voltage
and can cause serious or fatal injury if han-
dled incorrectly.
● H7 and discharge lamps are highly pressur-
ised and could explode when being changed.
● Only replace the bulbs concerned when
they have cooled.
● Never replace bulbs alone if you are not fa-
miliar with the operations necessary. If you
are not sure about procedures then visit a
specialised workshop to carry out the neces-
sary work.
● Never touch the bulb glass directly. Finger-
prints will be evaporated by the heat of the
operating bulb thus “fogging” up the reflec-
tor.
● The headlamp frameworks in the engine
compartment and the tail lamps contain sharp elements. Always protect your hands
when changing bulbs.
CAUTION
● After changing a bulb, if the rubber covers
are not replaced correctly on the headlamp
framework, the electrical installation may be
damaged, especially if water is allowed to en-
ter.
● Remove the ignition key before working on
the electric system. Otherwise, a short circuit
could occur.
● Switch off the lights and the parking light
before changing a bulb.
● Take good care to avoid damaging any com-
ponents. Control lamp
