If the engine will not start, first try starting it
us
in

g the battery of another vehicle
››› page 52. You should only attempt to tow-
start a vehicle if charging the battery does
not work. This is done by leveraging wheel
movement.
When tow-starting a vehicle with a petrol en-
gine, do not tow it more than a short dis-
tance, otherwise unburned fuel can enter the
catalytic converter.
However, if your vehicle has to be tow-star-
ted:
● Engage 2 nd
or 3 rd
g e
ar.
● Keep the clutch pressed down.
● Switch the ignition on.
● Once both vehicles are moving, release the
clutc
h.
● As soon as the engine starts, press the
clutc
h and move the gear lever into neutral.
This helps to prevent driving into the towing
vehicle. 

page 79 How to jump start
Jump l e
a

ds The jump lead must have a sufficient wire
cr
o

ss section.
If the engine fails to start because of a dis-
charged battery, the battery can be connec-
ted to the battery of another vehicle to start
the engine.
Jump leads
Jump leads must comply with standard DIN
72553 (see cable manufacturer's instruc-
tions). The wire cross section must be at least
25 mm 2
for petrol engines and at least
35 mm 2
for diesel engines. Note
● The v ehic

les must not touch each other,
otherwise electricity could flow as soon as
the positive terminals are connected.
● The discharged battery must be properly
connected t
o the on-board network. How to jump start: description

block itself ››› Fig. 71.
5. Connect the other end of the black
jump
lead X to a solid metal component bolted
t o the en
gine b
lock or to the engine block
itself of the vehicle with the flat battery.
Do not connect it to a point near the bat-
tery A .
6. Position the leads in such a way that they cannot
c

ome into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
Starting
7. Start the engine of the vehicle with the boostin
g battery and let it run at idling
speed. 8. Start the engine of the vehicle with the flat
batter
y and wait for 2 or 3 minutes until
the engine is running.
Removing the jump leads
9. Before you remove the jump leads, switch off the dipped be
am headlights if they are
switched on.
10.Turn on the heater blower and heated rear window in the
vehicle with the flat battery.
This helps minimise voltage peaks which
are generated when the leads are discon-
nected.
11.When the engine is running, disconnect the lea
ds in reverse order to the details
given above.
Make sure the battery clamps have sufficient
metal-to-metal contact with the battery termi-
nals.
If the engine fails to start, switch off the start-
er after about 10 seconds and try again after
about a minute. WARNING
● Ple a

se note the safety warnings referring to
working in the engine compartment
›››  page 201, Working in the engine
compartment.
● The battery providing assistance must have
the same v
oltage as the flat battery (12 V)
and approximately the same capacity (see imprint on battery). Failure to comply could
re
s

ult 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
awa
y from batteries, danger of explosion.
Failure to comply could result in an explo-
sion.
● Observe the instructions provided by the
manufact
urer of the jump leads.
● Do not connect the negative cable from the
other vehic
le 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 vehic
le to parts of the fuel system or to
the brake line.
● The non-insulated parts of the battery
clamp
s 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 c
ome into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
● Do not lean on the batteries. This could re-
sult
in chemical burns. » 53

Safety
frontal collision the system might not trigger
corr
ectly
or may fail to trigger at all. Airbag activation
The airbags deploy extremely rapidly, within
thous
andths

of a second, to provide addi-
tional protection in the event of an accident.
A fine dust may develop when the airbag de-
ploys. This is normal and it is not an indica-
tion of fire in the vehicle.
The airbag system is only ready to function
when the ignition is on.
In special accidents instances, several air-
bags may activate at the same time.
In the event of minor head-on and side colli-
sions, rear-end collisions, overturning or roll-
over of the vehicle, airbags do not activate.
Activation factors
The conditions that lead to the airbag system
activating in each situation cannot be gener-
alised. Some factors play an important role,
such as the properties of the object the vehi-
cle hits (hard/soft), angle of impact, vehicle
speed, etc.
Deceleration trajectory is key for airbag acti-
vation. The control unit analyses the collision trajec-
tor
y

and activates the respective restraint
system.
If the deceleration rate is below the prede-
fined reference value in the control unit the
airbags will not be triggered, even though
the accident may cause extensive damage to
the car.
The following airbags are triggered in seri-
ous head-on collisions
● Driver airbag.
● Front passenger front airbag
The fol
lowing airbags are triggered in seri-
ous side-on collisions
● Front side airbag on the side of the acci-
dent.
● Re

ar side airbag on the side of the acci-
dent.
● Cur

tain (head) airbag on the side of the ac-
cident.
In an ac

cident with airbag activation:
● the interior lights switch on (if the interior
light swit
ch is in the courtesy light position);
● the hazard warning lights switch on;
● all doors are unlocked;
● the fuel supply to the engine is cut. Airbag control lamp and seat belt ten-
sioner  The control lamp monitors all airbags and
seat
belt

tensioners in the vehicle, including
control units and wiring connections.
Monitoring of airbag and belt tensioner sys-
tem
Both the airbag and belt tensioner systems
operation is constantly monitored electroni-
cally. The control lamp  will light up for a
few seconds every time the ignition is switch-
ed on (self-diagnosis).
The system must be checked when the con-
trol lamp  :
● does not light up when the ignition is
swit c

hed on,
● turns off after 4 seconds after the ignition
is sw
itched on
● turns off and then lights up again after the
ignition is sw
itched on
● illuminates or flashes while the vehicle is
movin
g.
In the event of a malfunction, the warning
lamp remains on continuously. Have the air-
bag system inspected immediately by a spe-
cialised workshop.

Emergencies
●
Never s t
art the engine when the vehicle is
on the jack. Risk of accident.
● If work is to be carried out underneath the
vehicl
e, this must be secured by suitable
means. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury. Note
The jack does not generally require any main-
t en anc

e. If required, it should be greased us-
ing universal type grease. Spare wheel (temporary spare
wheel)*
The temporary spare wheel is stored under
the floor p
anel
in the lug

gage compartment
and is attached by a thumbnut.
How to use the temporary spare wheel
If you ever have a punctured tyre or loss of
pressure, the temporary spare wheel is only
intended for temporary use until you reach a
workshop. Change it for a duty wheel as soon
as possible.
Please note the following restrictions when
using the temporary spare wheel. This tem-
porary spare wheel has been specially de-
signed for your vehicle, thus, it cannot be
changed with the temporary spare wheel
from another vehicle. No other type of tyre (normal summer or win-
ter tyr

e) may be fitted on the compact tempo-
rary spare wheel rim.
Snow chains
For technical reasons, snow chains must not
be used on the temporary spare wheel.
If you have a puncture on one of the front
wheels when using snow chains, fit the tem-
porary spare wheel in place of one of the rear
wheels. Fit the snow chains on the rear wheel
that you have removed and replace the punc-
tured front wheel with this wheel.
Extraction of the spare wheel in vehicles
with SEAT SOUND 6 speakers (with subwoof-
er)*
● Disassemble the subwoofer's
floor panel
(carpet) as follows:
● Pull the carpet upwards to remove it.
● Disconnect the subwoofer's
speaker cable.
● Turn the securing wheel anti-clockwise.
● Remove the subwoofer
speaker and the
spare wheel.
● When replacing the spare wheel, place the
subwoofer
speaker in the direction indicated
by the arrow and with the word “FRONT” fac-
ing forward.
● Reconnect the speaker cable and firmly ro-
tat e the sec

uring wheel clockwise so that the subwoofer sys
t
em and wheel are firmly in
place. WARNING
● Aft er fittin

g the temporary spare wheel,
check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
Failure to do so may cause an accident. The
tyre pressures are listed on the inside of the
fuel tank flap.
● Do not drive at over 80 km/h (50 mph)
when the temporar
y spare wheel is fitted on
the vehicle: risk of accident!
● Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and
fas
t cornering: risk of accident!
● Never use more than one temporary spare
wheel at the s
ame time, risk of accident.
● No other type of tyre (normal summer or
winter ty
re) may be fitted on the compact
temporary spare wheel rim. Tyre repair

Self-help
Check the condition of the wiper blades regu-
l arly
.
If the wipers scrape across the glass ,
they should be changed if they are damaged,
or cleaned if they are dirty ››› .
If thi
s

does not produce the desired results,
the setting angle of the windscreen wiper
arms might be incorrect. They should be
checked by a specialised workshop and cor-
rected if necessary. WARNING
Do not drive unless you have good visibility
through a l

l windows!
● Clean the windscreen wiper blades and all
window
s regularly.
● The wiper blades should be changed once
or twice a
year. CAUTION
● Damag ed or dir

ty windscreen wipers could
scratch the glass.
● Never use fuel, nail varnish remover, paint
thinner or simil
ar products to clean the win-
dows. This could damage the windscreen
wiper blades.
● Never move any windscreen wiper by hand.
This c
ould cause damage.
● To prevent damage to the bonnet and the
winds
creen wiper arms, the latter should only
be lifted off the windscreen when in service
position. Note
● The wind s

creen wiper arms can be moved
to the service position only when the bonnet
is properly closed.
● You can also use the service position, for
examp
le, if you want to fix a cover over the
windscreen in the winter to keep it clear of
ice. Towing or tow-starting

taut.

Then accelerate gradually.
– Begin and change gears cautiously. If you
are drivin

g an automatic vehicle, accelerate
gently.
– Remember that the brake servo and power
steerin

g are not working in the vehicle you
are towing. Brake sooner than normal and
pressing the pedal gently. Notes for the driver of the towed vehicle
– Ensure that the tow rope remains taut at all
times when t

owing.
Towing vehicles with an automatic gearbox
● Put the selector lever into position “N”.
● Do not drive faster than 50 km/h (31 mph).
● Do not tow further than 50 km.
● If a breakdown vehicle is used, the vehicle
must
be towed with the front wheels raised. WARNING
If the vehicle has no electrical power, the
brak e light

s, turn signals and all other lights
will no longer function. Do not have the vehi-
cle towed away. Failure to follow this instruc-
tion could result in an accident. WARNING
Vehicle handling and braking capacity
ch an

ge considerably during towing. Please
observe the following instructions to mini-
mise the risk of serious accidents and injury:
● As the driver of the vehicle being towed:
– You shoul

d depress the brake much hard-
er as the brake servo does not operate.
Pay the utmost attention to avoid crash-
ing into the towing vehicle.
– More strength is required at the steering
wheel as the power steering does not op-
erate when the engine is switched off. » 79

 page 45
Before changing any bulb, first turn off the
failed device. Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with
your bar

e hands. The fingerprints left on the
glass will vaporise as a result of the heat gen-
erated by the bulb, reducing bulb life and
causing condensation on the reflector sur-
face, thus reducing effectiveness.
A bulb must only be replaced by one of the
same type. The type is indicated on the bulb,
either on the glass part or on the base.
Xenon headlights
With this type of headlight, the user can re-
place the turn signal bulb. Replacement of
the dipped/main beam bulb must be done by
Technical Services, given that complex ele-
ments must be removed from the vehicle and
the automatic control system that incorpo-
rates it must be reset.
The Xenon bulbs discharge 2.5 times the
light flux and have an average lifespan of 5
times more than that of halogen bulbs, this
means that, except due to unusual circum-
stances, there is no need to change the bulbs
for the whole life of the vehicle. WARNING
● Tak e p

articular care when working on com-
ponents in the engine compartment if the en-
gine is warm, there is a risk of burns.
● Bulbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The
glas
s can break when you touch the bulb,
causing injury. » 83
