2015 Seat Toledo fuel filter

Operation
Preheating  (die sel
en gines)When you switch on the ignition, the warning
lamp


lights up. The engine can be started
straight away when the lamp switches off.
If the  warning lamp does not illuminate or
if it does not switch off , there is a fault in the
glow plug system.
If the warning lamp  starts to flash while
driving, there is a fault in the engine power
control electronic system. The engine control
unit allows driving to continue in an emer-
gency program.
Go to a technical service.
Engine management  (petr
ol en-
gines) If the
 warning lamp is illuminated, there is
a f au

lt in the engine management system.
The engine control unit allows driving to con-
tinue in an emergency program.
Go to a technical service.
Particulate filter  (diesel en
gines)The diesel engine particulate filter eliminates
mo
st

of the soot from the exhaust gas sys-
tem. Under normal driving conditions, the fil-
ter cleans itself. The diesel particulate filter is cleaned automatically without need for indi-
cation by

the warning lamp . This may be
noticed because the engine idle speed in-
creases and an odour may be detected.
If automatic filter purification cannot be car-
ried out (because only short trips are taken,
for example), soot will accumulate on the fil-
ter and the Diesel particulate filter warning
lamp will  switch on.
Facilitate the automatic filter cleaning proc-
ess by driving in the following manner: drive
for approximately 15 minutes at a minimum
speed of 60 km/h in 4th or 5th gear (auto-
matic gearbox: gear S). Maintain the engine
speed at approximately 2,000 rpm. The rise
in temperature causes the soot on the filter
to burn. On completion of the cleaning the
warning lamp will switch off.
If the lamp  does not turn off, or the three
lamps turn on (particulate filter , fault in
the emission control system  and glow
plugs ), drive the vehicle to a specialised
workshop and have the fault repaired at the
earliest opportunity. WARNING
● Alw a

ys drive according to the road weather
conditions, the terrain and traffic.
● The particulate filter attains very high tem-
peratur
es. Therefore, do not park the vehicle
in places where the exhaust pipe could come into contact with dry grass or with highly-
flamm
ab

le materials. Risk of fire! CAUTION
While the warning lamp  i s lit
up, the fuel
consumption is high, and in certain condi-
tions, the engine power is reduced. Note
● In order f or the p

articulate filter to burn off
soot in a correct manner, avoid carrying out
frequent short journeys.
● Using diesel fuel with a high sulphur count
can con
siderably reduce the useful life of the
particulate filter. The specialised service pro-
vides information about the countries where
fuel with a high sulphur content is used. Fuel reserve
 The  w
arning lamp illuminates when ap-
pr o

ximately only 7 litres of fuel remain in the
tank
The informative display indicates:
Refuel! Fuel range…km...(miles) Note
The message on the display switches off only
aft er r

efuelling and carrying out a short jour-
ney. 102

Advice
In vehicles running on prescribed unleaded
petr o
l
with 95/91 RON, there is no notable
increase in power or lower fuel consumption
when petrol with a RON higher than 95 is
used.
In vehicles running on prescribed unleaded
petrol with min. 95 RON, there is an increase
in power and a lower fuel consumption when
petrol with a RON higher than 95 is used.
Prescribed fuel – unleaded petrol (98/(95)
RON)
Use unleaded petrol with 98 RON. Unleaded
petrol with 95 RON can also be used, al-
though this will result in a slight loss of pow-
er.
If unleaded petrol with 98 or 95 RON is not
available, you can fill up with petrol with 91
RON as an emergency measure. In this case,
use only moderate engine speeds and a light
throttle. High engine speed and full throttle
can seriously damage the engine! Fill up with
petrol with the correct RON as soon as possi-
ble.
Petrol with a RON below 91 cannot be used,
even as an emergency measure. Risk of seri-
ously damaging the engine!
Petrol additives
The quality of the fuel influences the behav-
iour, power and service life of the engine.
This is why the petrol you use should carry suitable additives already included by the
petrol
industry, free of metals. These addi-
tives will help to prevent corrosion, keep the
fuel system clean and prevent deposits from
building up in the engine.
If good-quality petrol with metal-free addi-
tives is not available or engine problems
arise, the necessary additives must be added
when refuelling ››› .
Not al
l

petrol additives have been shown to
be effective. The use of unsuitable petrol ad-
ditives may cause significant damage to the
engine and the catalytic converter. Metal ad-
ditives should never be used. Metal additives
may also be contained in petrol additives for
improving anti-detonation ratings or octane
ratings ››› .
S EA
T r

ecommends “genuine Volkswagen
Group Fuel Additives for petrol engines”.
These additives can be bought at SEAT deal-
ers, where information on how to use them
can also be obtained. CAUTION
● Do not r ef

uel if the filler indicates that the
fuel contains metal. LRP (lead replacement
petrol) fuels contain high concentrations of
metal additives. Using them may damage the
engine!
● All SEAT vehicles with petrol engines can
only ru
n on unleaded petrol. Refuelling just once with leaded petrol disables the exhaust
sys
t

em!
● Use of petrol with a lower RON to that pre-
scribed c
ould damage the engine compo-
nents.
● Fuels marked as containing metal on the
garag
e fuel pump cannot be used. Risk of
damage to most engine parts or the exhaust
system!
● The use of unsuitable additives in petrol
can cau
se damage to most engine parts or
the exhaust system. Diesel fuel
Please note the information on the inside of
the f
uel
t

ank flap.
Your vehicle can only work using diesel fuel,
which must comply to European standard EN
590. If diesel fuel which meets European
standard EN 590 is not available, the Cetane
number (CZ) must, at minimum, be 51. If the
engine is equipped with a particulate filter,
the sulphur content of the fuel must be below
50 parts per million.
Winter-grade diesel
Summer fuel becomes thicker in winter and it
is more difficult to start the engine. For this
reason, petrol stations in some countries al-
so offer winter diesel with improved fluidity
when cold (winter-grade diesel).

Checking and refilling levels
Water in the fuel filter 1)
If
y
our vehicle has a diesel engine and is
equipped with a fuel filter with a water sepa-
rator, the instrument panel may display the
following warning:  Water in the
fuel filter. If this is the case, take the
vehicle to a specialised workshop so that
they can drain the fuel filter.
Preheating the fuel filter
The vehicle is fitted with a glow plug system
for the fuel filter. Therefore, the reliability of
the diesel is ensured at ambient tempera-
tures of down to approximately -25°C (-13°F).
Fuel additives
Fuel additives, known as “thinners” (petrol or
similar substances) should not be mixed with
the diesel fuel. CAUTION
● Ev en one t

ankful of diesel fuel that does
not comply with the standard could damage
engine parts, the fuel system and the ex-
haust system!
● Your vehicle is not designed to use biodie-
sel fuel
. Never, under any circumstances re-
fuel with biodiesel. The use of biodiesel fuel
could damage the engine and the fuel sys-
tem. The addition of biodiesel to diesel fuel by the diesel manufacturer in accordance
with s
t

andard EN 590 or DIN 51628 is author-
ised and will not cause damage.
● The diesel engine has been designed to be
used ex
clusively with diesel fuel conforming
to standard EN 590. Never refuel or use pet-
rol, kerosene, fuel oil or any other type of
fuel. If you accidentally fill up the vehicle
with the wrong type of fuel, do not start the
engine. Seek assistance from specialised per-
sonnel. The composition of these fuels may
severely damage the fuel system and the en-
gine. Water allowed to collect in the fuel filter
can cause engine faults. Engine compartment
