Seat belts
Safety instructions on using seat
belt s –
Always wear the seat belt as described in
this section.
– En s
ure that the seat belts can be fastened
at all time
s and are not damaged. WARNING
● If seat belt

s are worn incorrectly or not at
all, the risk of severe injuries increases. The
optimal protection from seat belts can be
achieved only if you use them properly.
● Fasten your seat belt before every trip -
even when driving in t
own. Other vehicle oc-
cupants must also wear the seat belts at all
times, otherwise they run the risk of being in-
jured.
● The seat belt cannot offer its full protection
if the seat belt
is not positioned correctly.
● Never allow two passengers (even children)
to share the s
ame seat belt.
● Always keep both feet in the footwell in
front of
your seat as long as the vehicle is in
motion.
● Never unbuckle a seat belt while the vehi-
cle is
in motion. Risk of fatal injury.
● The seat belt must never be twisted while it
is being w
orn.
● The seat belt should never lie on hard or
fragile o
bjects (such as glasses or pens, etc.)
because this can cause injuries. ●
Do not al lo

w the seat belt to be damaged or
jammed, or to rub on any sharp edges.
● Never wear the seat belt under the arm or
in any other incorr
ect position.
● Loose, bulky clothing (such as an overcoat
over a jac
ket) impairs the proper fit and func-
tion of the seat belts, reducing their capacity
to protect.
● The slot in the seat belt buckle must not be
blocked w
ith paper or other objects, as this
can prevent the latch plate from engaging se-
curely.
● Never use seat belt clips, fastening rings or
similar it
ems to alter the position of the belt
webbing.
● Frayed or torn seat belts or damage to the
connections, belt r
etractors or parts of the
buckle could cause severe injuries in the
event of an accident. Therefore, you must
check the condition of all seat belts at regular
intervals.
● Seat belts which have been worn in an acci-
dent and stret
ched must be replaced by a
specialised workshop. Renewal may be nec-
essary even if there is no apparent damage.
The belt anchorage should also be checked.
● Do not attempt to repair a damaged seat
belt your
self. The seat belts must not be re-
moved or modified in any way.
● The belts must be kept clean, otherwise the
retractor
s may not work properly. Head-on collisions and the laws of

Transporting children safely Saf ety
for c
hildren
Introduction For safety reasons, as we have learned from
accident
s

tatistics, we recommend that chil-
dren under 12 years of age travel in the rear
seats. Depending on their age, height and
weight, children travelling in rear seats must
use a child seat or a seat belt. For safety rea-
sons, the child seat should be installed in the
rear seat, behind the front passenger seat or
in the centre back seat.
The physical laws involved and the forces
acting in a collision apply also to children
››› page 63. But unlike adults, children do not
have fully developed muscle and bone struc-
tures. This means that children are subject to
a greater risk of injury.
To reduce the risk of injuries, children must
always use special child restraint systems
when travelling in the vehicle.
We recommend the use of child safety prod-
ucts from the SEAT Original Accessories Pro-
gramme, which includes systems for all ages
made by “Peke” (not for all countries).
These systems have been especially de-
signed and approved, complying with the
ECE-R44. regulation. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and
obser
v

e any statutory requirements when in-
stalling and using child seats. Always read
and note ››› page 72.
We recommend you always carry the manu-
facturer's Child Seat Instruction Manual to-
gether with the on-board documentation.
Important information regarding the
front pa
ssenger's airbag Read the additional information carefully
› ›
›
 p

age 16.
Read and always observe the safety informa-
tion included in the following chapters:
● Safety distance with respect to the passen-
ger airbag ››

› page 66.
● Objects between the passenger and the
passen
ger side airbag ››› in Front airbags
on p ag
e 69 .
The p
assenger side front airbag, when ena-
bled, is a serious risk for a child that is facing
backward since the airbag can strike the seat
with such force that it can cause serious or
fatal injuries. Children up to 12 years old
should always travel on the rear seat.
Therefore we strongly recommend you to
transport children on the rear seats. This is
the safest location in the vehicle. Alternative-
ly, the front passenger airbag can be disa- bled with a key-operated switch
››› p
age 70.
When transporting children, use a child seat
appropriate to the age and size of each child. WARNING
● If a chi l

d seat is secured to the front pas-
senger seat, the risk to the child of sustain-
ing critical or fatal injuries in the event of an
accident increases.
● An inflating front passenger airbag can
strike the re
ar-facing child seat and project it
with great force against the door, the roof or
the backrest.
● Never install a child seat facing backwards
on the front pa
ssenger seat unless the front
passenger front airbag has been disabled.
Risk of potentially fatal injuries to the child!
However, if it is necessary, in exceptional ca-
ses, to transport a child in the front passen-
ger seat, the front passenger front airbag
must always be disabled ››› page 70, Deacti-
vation of front passenger front airbag*. If the
front passenger seat has a height adjustment
option, move it to the highest position.
● For those vehicles that do not include a key
lock swit
ch to deactivate the airbag, the vehi-
cle must be taken to a technical service.
● All vehicle occupants, especially children,
must a
ssume the proper sitting position and
be properly belted in while travelling.
● Never hold children or babies on your lap,
this can r
esult in potentially fatal injuries to
the child! 72

Transporting children safely
●
Never al lo
w a child to be transported in a
vehicle without being properly secured, or to
stand up or kneel on a seat while travelling.
In an accident, the child could be flung
through the vehicle, causing possibly fatal in-
juries to themselves and to the other vehicle
occupants.
● If children assume an improper sitting posi-
tion when the vehicl
e is moving, they expose
themselves to greater risk of injury in the
event of a sudden braking manoeuvre or in an
accident. This is particularly important if the
child is travelling on the front passenger seat
and the airbag system is triggered in an acci-
dent; as this could cause serious injury or
even death.
● A suitable child seat can protect your child!
● Never leave a child alone in the child seat
or inside the v
ehicle because depending on
the season, very high temperatures may be
reached inside a parked vehicle, which could
be fatal.
● Children who are less than 1.5 metres tall
must not
wear a normal seat belt without a
child seat, as this could cause injuries to the
abdominal and neck areas during a sudden
braking manoeuvre or in an accident.
● Do not allow the seat belt to become twis-
ted and the seat belt
should be properly in
place ››› page 61.
● Only one child may occupy a child seat
››› p

age 73, Child seats. ●
When a chil d se

at is mounted in the rear
seats, the door child-proof lock should be ac-
tivated ››› page 110. Child seats

age 16. WARNING
When travelling, children must be secured in
the vehic l

e with a restraint system suitable
for age, weight and size.
● Read and always observe information and
warnings
concerning the use of child seats
››› page 72. WARNING
The retaining rings are designed only for use
with “ISOFIX” and Top T

ether* system child
seats.
● Never secure other child seats that do not
have the “ISOFIX” or Top
Tether* system, or
retaining belts or objects to the fastening
rings - this can result in potentially fatal inju-
ries to the child.
● Ensure that the child seat is secured cor-
rectly us
ing the “ISOFIX” and Top Tether* se-
curing rings. WARNING
An undue installation of the safety seat will
incre a

se the risk of injury in the event of a
crash.
● Never tie the retainer strap to a hook in the
luggage c
ompartment.
● Never secure or tie luggage or other items
to the lower anc
horages (ISOFIX) or the upper
ones (Top Tether). Categorisation of child seats into
gr
oup
s Only use child seats that are officially ap-
pr
o
ved and s

uitable for the child.
Child seats are subject to the regulation ECE-
R 44. ECE-R stands for: Economic Commis-
sion for Europe Regulation.
The child seats are grouped into 5 catego-
ries:
Group 0: Up to 10 kg (up to around 9
months)
Group 0+: Up to 13 kg (up to around 18
months)
Group 1: from 9 to 18 kg (up to approx. 4
years old)
Group 2: from 15 to 25 kg (up to approx. 7
years old) »

The central lock button allows you to lock and
unlock the vehicle from the inside.
The central lock button also works with the
ignition switched off, except when the “safe”
system is activated.
Please note the following if you lock your ve-
hicle with the central lock button:
● Locking the doors and rear lid prevents ac-
cess
from the outside (for safety reasons, e.g.
when stopped at a traffic light).
● The driver door cannot be locked while it is
open. This av
oids the user from forgetting his
key inside the vehicle. ●
All door
s can be unlocked separately from
inside the vehicle. Do this by pulling the door
release lever once. WARNING
● If the v ehic

le is locked, children and disa-
bled people may be trapped inside it.
● Repeated operation of central locking will
prevent the c
entral lock button from working
for a few seconds. Then, it can only be un-
locked in case it has been previously locked.
After few seconds, the central locking be-
comes operative again.
● The central lock button is not operative
when the vehicl
e is locked from the outside
(with the remote control or the key). Note
● Vehicl e loc

● An incorrect u

se of the keys can cause seri-
ous injuries.
● Never leave children or disabled persons in
the vehicl
e. In case of emergency, they may
not be able to leave the vehicle or manage on
their own.
● An uncontrolled use of the key could start
the engine or activate an
y electric equipment
(e.g. electric windows), causing risk of acci-
dent. The doors can be locked using the re-
mote control key. This could become an ob-
stacle for assistance in an emergency situa-
tion.
● Never forget the keys inside the vehicle. An
unauthorised u
se of your vehicle could result
in injury, damage or theft. Therefore always
take the key with you when you leave the ve-
hicle.
● Never remove the key from the ignition if
the vehicl
e is in motion. Otherwise, the steer-
ing could suddenly block and it would be im-
possible to steer the vehicle. CAUTION
There are electronic components in the re-
mote contr o

l key. Avoid wetting and hitting
