therefore recommend using clean water with
a gl a
s
s cleaning product to eliminate any
stubborn dirt (with an anti-freeze additive in
winter).
Although your vehicle has heated windscreen
washer jets, anti-freeze should always be
added to the water in winter.
Ethanol can be used where glass cleaner with
anti-freeze is unavailable. The concentration
of ethanol must be no greater than 15 %.
However, remember that anti-freeze in this
proportion only protects down to -5°C
(+23°F). CAUTION
● Never mi x

the windscreen washing water
with anti-freeze used for the cooling system
or other additives.
● If the vehicle is equipped with a headlight
washer sy
stem, only mix in with the water a
detergent that does not damage polycarbon-
ates. Note
When topping up the fluid, do not move the
filt er fr

om the container opening, as this
could contaminate the fluid hoses and lead to
a windscreen washer malfunction. Battery

d lead to damage. We therefore recom-
mend all work on the vehicle battery be per-
formed by an authorised SEAT dealer.
Always be aware of the danger of injury and
scalding as well as the risk of accident or fire
when working on the battery and the electri-
cal system. Therefore, always observe the
warnings and follow all general safety pre-
cautions. WARNING
● Batt er

y acid is very corrosive, therefore, the
battery must be handled with the utmost
care. Wear protective gloves and protect your
eyes and skin when handling batteries. The
corrosive fumes in the air irritate and inflame
the respiratory tract and cause conjunctivitis.
It corrodes tooth enamel. Causes deep and
difficult-to-heal wounds when it comes in
contact with the skin. Repeated contact with
diluted acids causes skin disease (inflamma-
tion, ulcers and fissures). When in contact
with water, acids dilute and develop a great
deal of heat.
● Do not tilt the battery, as acid could leak
out of the
vapour vents. Protect your eyes
with glasses or a protective helmet! Risk of
blindness! If acid should splash into the
eyes, rinse the affected eye immediately for
several minutes using clean water. Then seek
medical care immediately.
● Neutralize any acid splashes on the skin or
clothing w
ith soap solution as quickly as pos-
sible and rinse off with plenty of water. If acid
is swallowed by mistake, consult a doctor im-
mediately.
● Keep children away from the battery.
● Hydrogen is released and a highly explo-
sive mi
xture of gases is generated when the
battery is under charge. Sparks when discon-
necting or releasing cable terminals with the
ignition switched on could also cause an ex-
plosion. » 211

Checking and refilling levels
– Open the b att
er
y cover in the direction indi-
cated by the arrow ››› Fig. 211.
– The positive terminal (+) of the battery is
connected in r

everse order.
Checking the battery electrolyte level Fig. 212
Battery: Electrolyte level indicator. We recommend you have the acid level regu-
l
arly
c

hecked at an official technical service,
particularly in the following cases.
● At high outside temperatures.
● On long daily trips.
● Whenever the vehicle is loaded
›››
page 213, Charging the battery.
In vehicles equipped with a battery with col-
our indicator, the so-called magic eye
››› Fig. 212 changes colour to indicate the
acid level. Air bubbles can influence the colour of the in-
dicator

. Therefore, carefully knock the indica-
tor before checking the acid level.
● Black – the acid level is correct.
● Colourless or light yellow – acid level too
low, b
attery must be changed. Note
● The batt er

y acid level is also regularly
checked during servicing at authorised SEAT
dealers.
● The electrolyte level on “AGM” batteries
cannot be c
hecked for technical reasons.
● Vehicles equipped with the “Start-Stop”
syst
em include a battery control unit to con-
trol the battery level for repeated engine
starting. Winter service
At low temperatures the battery provides only
a fr
action of
the s

tarting power it has at nor-
mal temperatures.
A flat battery can also freeze at temperatures
slightly below to 0°C (32°F).
We therefore recommend you have the bat-
tery checked and, if necessary, charged at an
official SEAT technical service before the start
of winter. Charging the battery A fully-charged battery is essential for relia-
bl
e s

tarting.
– Switch off the ignition and all electrical
equipment.
– For “f

ast-charging” only: disconnect both
batter
y connection cables (first the “nega-
tive” terminal and then the “positive”).
– Connect the charger cables to the battery
terminal

s (red = “positive”, black = “nega-
tive”).
– Plug in the battery charger and switch on.
– After charging the battery: Switch off the
batt er

y charger and disconnect the cable.
– Remove the charger cables.
– If necessary, reconnect both battery cables
to the batt

ery (first the “positive” cable,
then the “negative” cable).
When charging with a low current (e.g. with a
small battery charger ), the battery does not
normally have to be disconnected. The in-
structions of the battery charger manufactur-
er must be followed.
Use a current equivalent to or lower than
10% of the battery capacity to fully charge
the battery.
Before “fast-charging” the battery however,
both battery cables must be disconnected. »

Advice
“Fast-charging” a battery is dan
g erous and
requires a battery charger and special knowl-
edge. Fast charges should be performed by
an official technical service.
The battery caps should not be opened while
the battery is being charged. CAUTION
In vehicles fitted with the “Start-Stop” sys-
tem, the c h

arger cable cannot be directly con-
nected to the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery but must be attached to the engine
ground point ›››

We recommend having the vehicle checked by
an authorised S EA

T dealer to guarantee the
correct working order of all electrical sys-
tems. Replacing the battery
A replacement battery must have the same
cap
ac

ity, voltage, current rating and size as
the original. The appropriate types of battery
can be acquired from authorised SEAT deal-
ers.
We recommend having the battery changed
by an authorised SEAT dealer, where the new
battery will be correctly installed and the
original disposed of in line with regulations.
Automatic disconnection of electrical
equipment When heavily-charging a battery, the pro-
gr
amme sel
ect

ed by the electrical system
control unit prevents the battery from auto-
matically discharging. This may result in the
following:
● Increase in idling speed so that the alterna-
tor can s
upply more current to the electrical
system.
● The performance of certain electrical com-
ponents cou
ld be limited or some may switch
off temporarily, e.g. the heated seats, the
heated rear window, the 12 V power socket. Note
Despite any measures taken by the control
unit, the b att

ery could drain. e.g. with the en- gine is switched off, the key is turned in the
ignition for a lon
g period or the s

ide lights or
parking lights are switched on. The switching
off of certain electrical components does not
impair driving comfort and often the driver
will not even notice. 214

Intr oduction WARNING
● Durin g the fir
st 500 km, new tyres do not
give maximum grip, therefore you should
drive carefully. Risk of accident!
● Never drive with damaged tyres. Risk of ac-
cident!
● Only

use wheels and tyres that been au-
thorised by
SEAT or your vehicle model. Fail-
ure to do so could impair road safety. Risk of
accident!
● Never exceed the maximum speed permit-
ted for
your tyres. Risk of accident due to tyre
damage and loss of vehicle control!
● Under-inflated tyres are submitted to great-
er rol
ling resistance. This means that they
can overheat at high speeds. This can cause
tread separation and even tyre blow-out.
● For driving safety, tyres should be replaced
at le
ast in pairs according to the axle and not
individually. The tyres with the deepest tread
should always be used on the front wheels.
● Never fit used tyres of an unknown age or
prior use.
● Ty

res must be immediately changed at the
very
latest when they have worn down to the
tread wear indicators. ●
Worn ty r

es reduce the necessary grip at
high speeds on damp surfaces. This could
lead to “aquaplaning” (uncontrolled vehicle
movement –“skidding” on damp surfaces).
● Damaged wheels and tyres must be re-
plac
ed immediately.
● Do not use summer or winter tyres that are
more than 6 or 4
years old respectively.
● Wheel bolts should be clean and screw
eas
ily. However, they must never be treated
with grease or oil.
● If the tightening torque of the wheel bolts
is t
oo low, they could loosen while the vehi-
cle is moving. Risk of accident! If the tighten-
ing torque of the wheel bolts is too high, the
bolts and threads could be damaged, leading
to the permanent deforming of the rim sup-
port surfaces.
● Incorrectly handled wheel bolts could lead
to a wheel c
oming loose while the vehicle is
moving. Risk of accident!
● Observe the national legal requirements re-
gardin
g the use of snow tyres and chains. CAUTION
● Where a s p

are wheel that is not compatible
with the wheels fitted is used, follow the in-
structions ››› page 218.
● The prescribed tightening torque for wheel
bolts
on steel and alloy wheels is 120 Nm.
● Protect your tyres from coming into contact
with oil, gr
ease and fuel.
● Replace any lost valve caps immediately. For the sake of the environment
Under-inflated tyres increases fuel consump-
tion. Note
● We r ec

ommend having all work on tyres
and wheels carried out by an authorised SEAT
dealer.
● We recommend using wheels, tyres, hub
caps
and snow chains from the SEAT Original
Accessories programme. 215

Wheels and tyres
Unusual vibration or the car pulling to one
s ide m
a
y indicate that one of the tyres is
damaged. Reduce speed immediately and
stop if you suspect that a wheel may have
been damaged! Check the tyres for damage
(blisters, cracks, etc.). If no external damage
is visible, drive slowly and carefully to the
nearest Official Service and have the vehicle
inspected.
Changing wheels Fig. 215
Interchanging tyres. Changing wheels around
If
the w
e

ar is visibly greater on the front tyres,
they should be exchanged for the rear tyres
as shown in the diagram ››› Fig. 215. All the
tyres will then last for about the same time.
To ensure that the wear is equal on all tyres
and maintain their optimum useful life, they
should be changed around every 10 000 km. Storing tyres
When you r

emove the tyres, mark them in or-
der to maintain the same direction of rotation
when they are installed again.
When removed, the wheels and/or tyres
should be stored in a cool, dry and preferably
dark location. Store tyres in a vertical posi-
tion, if they are not fitted on wheel rims.
New tyres or wheels All four wheels must be fitted only with tyres
of
the s
ame type, s

ize and the same tread
pattern.
The correct tyre/wheel combinations speci-
fied for your vehicle are listed in its docu-
mentation.
Understanding the tyre designations makes
it easier to choose the correct tyres. The tyre
designation is marked on the sidewall. For
example.

s correspond to the highest pressure pre-
scribed for the model of vehicle in question. Tyre monitoring systems
Ty r

s to compare the revolutions and
the circumference of each wheel. Should the
circumference of any wheel change, the
warning lamp  on the general instrument
panel will light up and an audible warning
will be heard.
Tyre circumference may change if:
● Tyre pressure is too low
● Tyre structure is damaged
● Vehicle load not evenly distributed
● wheels on one axle are subjected to greater
load, (e.
g. driving with trailer, uphill, down-
hill);
● Snow chains are fitted
● The temporary spare wheel is fitted ●
One wheel on the axl
e has been changed
Basic system settings
Should the tyre pressure change or if one or
more wheels are changed or the position of
the wheel on the vehicle is changed, e.g.
changing round the front and rear wheels, or
where a warning lamp lights up when driv-
ing, the system must be adjusted as follows: ● Inflate all tyres to the prescribed pressures

cantly lower than the pressure set by the driv-
er, the warning lamp  will light up ››› .
The w arnin
g l

amp  flashes
If the warning lamp flashes, there is a fault in
the system. Contact a specialised service to
have it fixed. WARNING
● If the w arnin

g lamp  lights up, slow down
immediately and avoid any severe braking or
steering manoeuvres. Stop and check the
tyres and their pressure as soon as possible. ●
Under cer t

ain conditions (e.g. sporty driv-
ing style, driving on loose surfaces or in win-
ter) the warning lamp  may take a while to
light up or may remain switched off.
● Despite the tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem, the driver r
emains responsible for main-
taining the correct tyre pressure. You must
therefore check the tyre pressure often. Note
● The ty re pr

essure monitoring system is not
a replacement for regularly checking the tyre
pressure, as it is unable to recognise an even
drop in pressure.
● The tyre pressure monitoring system is un-
able t
o warn of a sudden drop in tyre pres-
sure, e.g. a puncture. In this case, try to stop
the vehicle carefully with no severe braking
or steering manoeuvres.
● To ensure the tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem work
s correctly, the basic setting must
be performed every 10 000 km (6000 miles)
or once a year.
● If the battery is disconnected the warning
lamp  lights

up when the ignition is switch-
ed on. This warning lamp must switch off af-
ter covering a short distance. 219

The weight in running order only has one ap-
proximate value. This value corresponds to
the minimum operative weight of the vehicle
without additional equipment that increases
its weight, i.e. air conditioning, spare wheel,
towing bracket.
The running order weight also includes 75 kg

Calculating fuel consumption and CO 2 emis-
sions according to the ECE regulations and
the EU specifications
Calculation of fuel consumption for urban
driving begins when cold-starting the engine.
Then, normal city driving is simulated.
In calculating extra-urban driving fuel con-
sumption, braking and acceleration is done
in all gears, as in daily use of the vehicle.
Driving speed varies within a range of 0 and
120 km/h (75 mph).
The consumption value in combined driving
is composed of 37% of the value of urban
driving and 63% of the value of extra-urban
driving. WARNING
The maximum permitted weight values must
not be e x

ceeded – Risk of an accident and
damage to the vehicle! Note
● If y

ou wish to calculate the exact weight of
your vehicle please contact a SEAT dealer.
