WARNING
Do not exceed the maximum load that the
nets c
an support. Heavy objects cannot be
safely secured. Risk of injury! CAUTION
● The ret ainin

g nets support a maximum load
of 1.5 kg.
● Do not place any item with sharp edges in
the net. Risk
of damaging the net! Rear shelf

ported.
Removing the shelf
– Remove the straps from the shelf 1 ›››
Fig. 165.
– Remove the shelf from its housing 2 by
knoc k
in

g it gently from underneath be-
tween the supports.
Fitting the shelf – Place the shelf on the side supports on the
trim.
– Adjust the shelf supports 3

to
fit the supports 2 in the trim.
– Fit into place by knocking the top of the
shelf g
ently

between the supports.
– Attach the straps 1 to the tray. WARNING
Do not place objects on the rear shelf that
cou l

d endanger the vehicle occupants in case
of a sudden braking manoeuvre or an acci-
dent. CAUTION
● The re ar shelf

supports a maximum load of
1 kg.
● If handled incorrectly, the tray could bend
on clos
ing the rear lid and become damaged
or damage the trim. Follow the instructions
below:
– The shelf supports 3

st be
securely in place in the trim supports 2 .
– The siz e of
the load must not exceed the
height of the shelf.
– When open, the shelf must not be bent
against the shelf seal.
– There must be no objects in the space be-
tween the open shelf and the backrest of
the rear seat. Note
The shelf will lift when the rear lid is opened. 144

Transport and practical equipment
Roof rack* Intr oduction WARNING
● The loa d on the r
oof carrier must be proper-
ly secured. Risk of accident!
● Always secure the load using retaining
strap
s that are in good condition.
● Distribute the load evenly.
● When transporting heavy or large objects
on the roof, an
y change in normal vehicle be-
haviour due to a change in the centre of gravi-
ty or increased wind resistance must be taken
into account. Risk of accident! For this rea-
son, speed and driving style must be adjus-
ted for the situation.
● Avoid sudden manoeuvres and braking.
● Adjust your driving style to suit visibility,
the weather and r
oad and traffic conditions.
● Never exceed the allowed axle loads or al-
lowed m
aximum weight. Risk of accident! CAUTION
● Only u

se SEAT-authorised roof carriers.
● Where roof carriers from other systems are
used or where they
are not fitted properly,
any damage caused to the vehicle will not be
covered by the warranty. Therefore, carefully
follow the Instruction Manual for installation
of the roof carrier. ●
Remember th at

the rear lid must not hit the
roof load.
● The total height of the vehicle increases ac-
cordin
g to the roof load. Compare the height
of the vehicle with the heights of bridges or
other underpasses, for example, the height
of the garage door.
● Do not forget to remove the roof carrier be-
fore ent
ering an automatic carwash.
● Take into account that the load must not
damag
e the aerial located on the roof. For the sake of the environment
If aerodynamic resistance increases, fuel con-
sumption w i

ll also increase. Attachment points

Operation
CAUTION
Follow the instructions given in the manual. Roof load
The maximum permissible roof load (includ-
ing the s
up
port system) of 75 kg and the to-
tal authorised weight of the vehicle must not
be exceeded.
It will not be possible to carry the full maxi-
mum load if the roof carrier you are using is
rated for a load which is less than this figure.
In this case, you can only load the roof carrier
to the maximum load permitted in your in-
stallation manual. Air conditioning
He atin
g and air c

onditioning
General notes The power of the heating depends on the
temper
at

ure 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
cooling 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
corr
ect

use of heating and ventilation, win-
dow demisting and defrosting and cooling.
● Never use the air recirculation system for
too long, a
s 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. WARNING
Do not switch off Climatronic for longer than
nece s

sary.
● Switch Climatronic back on as soon as the
window
s begin to mist over. Note
● Used air e s

capes through ventilation slots
in the rear of the luggage compartment.
● Smoking is not recommended while the air
recir
culation 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 guarantee proper operation, never cover
the air outlets
in the luggage compartment.146

ing or heating power, respectively. The tem-
perature is not regulated.

 page 17 WARNING
● When mov in

g with the engine switched off,
the ignition key must always remain in posi-
tion 2
››› Fig. 172 ›
›› page 154 (ignition on).
The control lamps will light up in this posi-
tion. Otherwise, the steering lock could en-
gage suddenly. Risk of accident!
● Do not remove the key from the ignition un-
til the
vehicle has come to a standstill and is
secure (e.g. the handbrake is engaged). Oth-
erwise, the steering lock could suddenly en-
gage. Risk of accident!
● Always take the ignition key with you when
you le
ave the vehicle. This is particularly im-
portant if you leave children in the vehicle.
Children could, for example, start the engine
with the subsequent risk of accident.
● Never leave the engine running in unventi-
lated or c
losed rooms. The exhaust gases
contain carbon monoxide, an odourless and
colourless poisonous gas. Risk of fatal acci-
dents! Carbon monoxide can cause people to
lose consciousness and can cause death. ●
Never l e

ave the vehicle unattended if the
engine is running.
● Never switch the engine off until the vehi-
cle h
as come to a complete stop. Risk of acci-
dent! CAUTION
● Turnin g the s

teering wheel fully in either
direction when the vehicle is stationary and
the engine is in gear puts the power steering
under great stress. This could lead to noise.
Never leave the steering wheel turned fully in
either direction for more than 15 seconds.
Risk of damage to the power steering system!
● The starter motor may only be used (key
position 3
››› Fig. 172 ›
›› page 154 in the ig-
nition) if the engine is off. Using the starter
motor when the engine is running could dam-
age it.
● Immediately release the ignition key when
the engine st
arts, otherwise damage could be
caused to the starter motor.
● When the engine is cold, you should avoid
high engine speed
s, driving at full throttle
and over-loading the engine before it reaches
operating temperature. Risk of engine dam-
age!
● Do not tow-start the engine. Risk of engine
damag
e! In vehicles with a catalytic convert-
er, fuel that has not been burned could reach
the catalytic converter and catch fire in it.
This would lead to a fault in the catalytic con-
verter. You may use the battery from another » 153
