– For
vehicles with Start-Stop system: con-
nect one end of the b
lack jump lead X to a
s uit
abl
e ground terminal, to a solid piece of
metal in the engine block, or to the engine
block itself ››› Fig. 71.
5. Connect the other end of the black jump
l
ead X to a solid metal component bolted
t o the en
gine bloc
k 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
come int
o contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
Starting
7. Start the engine of the vehicle with the boosting b
attery and let it run at idling
speed. 8. Start the engine of the vehicle with the flat
battery
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 beam he
adlights if they are
switched on.
10.Turn on the heater blower and heated rear window in the v
ehicle 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 lead
s 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
● Plea se not
e 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 vo
ltage as the flat battery (12 V)
and approximately the same capacity (see imprint on battery). Failure to comply could
res
u
lt in an explosion.
● Never use jump leads when one of the bat-
teries i
s 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
away
from batteries, danger of explosion.
Failure to comply could result in an explo-
sion.
● Observe the instructions provided by the
manufactur
er of the jump leads.
● Do not connect the negative cable from the
other vehicl
e 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 vehicl
e to parts of the fuel system or to
the brake line.
● The non-insulated parts of the battery
clamps
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 come int
o contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
● Do not lean on the batteries. This could re-
sult in c
hemical burns. » 53
Self-help
After inserting the sealant residue in the tyre,
y ou mu
st
again check the tyre pressure about
10 minutes after starting the engine.
You should only use the tyre mobility set if
the vehicle is parked in a safe place, you are
familiar with the procedure and you have the
necessary tyre mobility set! Otherwise, you
should seek professional assistance.
Do not use the tyre sealant in the following
cases:
● If the wheel rim has been damaged.
● In outside temperatures below -20 °C
(-4 °F).
● In the event of cuts or perforations in the
tyre gre
ater than 4 mm.
● If you have been driving with very low pres-
sure or a comp
letely flat tyre.
● If the sealant bottle has passed its use by
date. WARNING
Using the tyre mobility system can be dan-
gerou s, e
specially when filling the tyre at the
roadside. Please observe the following rules
to minimise the risk of injury:
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Park it at
a safe distance from surrounding
traffic to fill the tyre.
● Ensure the ground on which you park is flat
and solid. ●
All p
assengers and particularly children
must keep a safe distance from the work area.
● Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn
other road u
sers.
● Use the tyre mobility system only if you are
familiar w
ith the necessary procedures. Oth-
erwise, you should seek professional assis-
tance.
● The tyre mobility set is intended for tempo-
rary emer
gency use only until you can reach
the nearest specialised workshop.
● Replace the repaired tyre with the tyre mo-
bility set
as soon as possible.
● The sealant is a health hazard and must be
cleaned immedi
ately if it comes into contact
with the skin.
● Always keep the tyre mobility set out of the
reach of
small children.
● Never use a jack, even if it has been ap-
proved f
or your vehicle.
● Always stop the engine, apply the hand-
brake lev
er firmly and engage gear if using a
manual gearbox, in order to reduce the risk of
vehicle involuntary movement. WARNING
A tyre filled with sealant does not have the
same perf orm
ance properties as a conven-
tional tyre.
● Never drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).
● Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and
fast
cornering. ●
Drive for on ly
10 minutes at a maximum
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) and then check
the tyre. For the sake of the environment
Dispose of used or expired sealant observing
an y le
gal requirements. Note
● A new bottle of se a
lant can be purchased at
SEAT dealerships.
● Take into account the separate instruction
manual of
the tyre mobility set* manufactur-
er. Contents of the tyre mobility system*

CAUTION
● To prev ent
damage to the engine, the rev
counter needle should only remain in the red
zone for a short period of time.
● When the engine is cold, avoid high revs
and heavy acc
eleration and do not make the
engine work hard. For the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear in time reduces fuel con-
sumption and noise. Rev counter
The rev counter indicates the number of en-
gine r
ev

T og
ether w ith the g
ear-change indicator, the
rev counter offers you the possibility of using
the engine of your vehicle at a suitable
speed.
The start of the red zone on the dial indicates
the maximum engine speed which may be
used briefly when the engine is warm and af-
ter it has been run in properly. Before reach-
ing this range, you should change to a higher
gear for vehicles with a manual gearbox or for
automatic gearboxes put the selector lever in
“D” or take your foot off the accelerator ped-
al. We recommend that you avoid high revs and
that y
ou follow the recommendations on the
gear-change indicator. Consult the additional
information in ›››
