Windscreen wipers and wind-
s c
r
een washers
Introduction The windscreen wipers and windscreen
wa
sher

s only work when the ignition is
switched on.
The speed of the automatic wipe in case of
rain is automatically adjusted according to
the intensity of the rainfall.
The rear window is wiped once if the wind-
screen wipers are switched on and reverse
gear is engaged.
Fill the windscreen washer fluid ›››
page 210. WARNING
● Mak e s

ure the blades ›››
 page 53 are in
perfect condition for good visibility and safe
driving.
● In cold conditions, you should not use the
wash/w
ipe system unless you have warmed
the windscreen with the heating and ventila-
tion system. The windscreen washer fluid
could otherwise freeze on the windscreen and
obscure your view of the road. CAUTION
● Durin g w

inter, always check that the wind-
screen wiper blades are not frozen to the
glass before each trip or before switching on the ignition. If you switch on the windscreen
wiper
s

when the wiper blades are frozen to
the glass, this could damage both the wiper
blades and the wiper motor.
● If the ignition is switched off when the
winds
creen wipers are on, they will start op-
erating in the same mode when the ignition
is switched back on. The wiper blades may be
frozen to the glass at low temperatures when
the ignition is switched off.
● Carefully separate the frozen wipers from
the winds
creen or rear window.
● Remove snow and ice from the wipers be-
fore s
tarting your journey.
● Careless handling could lead to the wiper
arms dam
aging the windscreen.
● For safety reasons, the wiper blades should
be chan
ged once or twice a year. They can be
purchased at a SEAT Authorised Service.
● The ignition cannot be switched on while
the winds
creen wiper arms are in a raised po-
sition. Otherwise, the windscreen wipers
would return to their original position and
could damage the paintwork on the bonnet. Note
Keep the wipers clean. The wipers can be
soil ed w

ith remains of wax solutions from car
washes ››› page 195.
● On vehicles equipped with windscreen
washer j
ets, these are heated once the en-
gine is running. Operating windscreen wipers and

Care and maintenance
For the sake of the environment
● The pac k
aging of the product used to care
for your vehicle is hazardous waste. It must
be disposed of according to current local law.
● Only wash the car in special wash bays. Note
● Remo v

e stains from fresh ball-pen and oth-
er inks, lipstick, shoe cream and similar
stains on the fabric (leather), upholstery and
fabric trim as soon as possible.
● We recommend that you visit an authorised
SEAT de
aler to clean and care for the interior
of your vehicle, due to the problems that may
arise when cleaning and caring for the interi-
or of your vehicle and to the utensils and
knowledge required. Washing the vehicle
The best protection of the vehicle from the
h
armf
u

l influences of the environment in-
volves frequent washing and waxing. The fre-
quency with which the vehicle is washed de-
pends on many different factors, such as:
● Frequency of use
● Type of parking (garage, underneath trees,
etc.)
● Time of

year
● Weather conditions ●
Envir
onmental conditions
The longer substances such as insects, bird
droppings, resinous tree sap, road dirt, in-
dustrial deposits, tar, soot or road salt and
other aggressive materials remain on the
paintwork, the more damage they do. High
temperatures (for instance in strong sunlight)
further intensify the corrosive effect.
After the winter season, it is important to
have the underside of the vehicle washed
thoroughly.
car washes Your vehicle can be washed in an automatic
c
ar w
a

sh.
Before going through an automatic car wash,
be sure to take the usual precautions such as
closing the windows, etc.
If the vehicle has special accessories such as
spoilers or a roof rack or two-way radio aerial,
etc., it is advisable to consult the car wash
operator beforehand.
The windscreen wiper rubbers must be de-
greased after going after the car wash and
waxing. Washing by hand When washing the car by hand, use plenty of
wat
er t

o soften the dirt first and rinse off as
well as possible.
Then clean the vehicle with a sponge, glove
or brush. Start on the roof and work down.
Use only slight pressure when cleaning the
painted surfaces of the vehicle. A car sham-
poo should only be used for very persistent
dirt.
Rinse the sponge or glove thoroughly and of-
ten.
Wheels, sills and underside should be
cleaned last. Use a second sponge for this.
After washing, rinse the vehicle thoroughly
and then dry with a chamois.
Washing with high-pressure cleaners When cleaning the vehicle with a high-pres-
s
ur
e c

leaner, always follow the operating in-
structions for the equipment. This particular-
ly applies to the operating pressure and the
distance of the spray from the surface of the
vehicle. Do not hold the spray nozzle too
close to the parking aid system sensors and
soft materials, such as rubber hoses or insu-
lating material. »

The layout of the engine compartment is very
simi l

ar to all petrol and diesel engines. Radiator fan
The radiator is driven by an electric motor
and c
ontr
o

lled according to the temperature
of the coolant.
After the engine has been stopped and the
ignition switched off, the radiator fan may
continue running for around 10 minutes. Engine oil
General
notes The engine comes with a special, multi-grade
oil
th

at can be used all year round.
Because the use of high-quality oil is essen-
tial for the correct operation of the engine
and its long useful life, when topping up or
changing oil, use only those oils that comply
with VW standards.
The specifications (VW standards) set out in
the following page should appear on the con-
tainer of the service oil; when the container
displays the specific standards for petrol and
diesel engines together, it means that the oil
can be used for both types of engines.
We recommend that the oil change indicated
in the Maintenance Programme, be
