Coolant specifications
The engine cooling system is supplied from
the factory with a specially treated mixture of 40

The essentials
water and at least 40 % of the additive G13
(TL -
VW
774 J), purple. This mixture gives the
necessary frost protection down to -25°C
(-13°F) and protects the light alloy parts of
the engine cooling system against corrosion.
It also prevents scaling and considerably rai-
ses the boiling point of the coolant.
To protect the cooling system, the percentage
of additive must always be at least 40 %,
even in warm climates where anti-freeze pro-
tection is not required.
If for weather reasons further protection is
necessary, the proportion of additive may be
increased, but only up to 60 %; otherwise an-
tifreeze protection will diminish and this will
worsen cooling.
When the coolant is topped up, use a mixture
of distilled water and at least 40 % of the
G13 or G12 plus-plus (TL-VW 774 G) additive
(both are purple) to obtain optimal anti-corro-
sion protection. The mixture of G13 with G12
plus (TL-VW 774 F), G12 (red) or G11 (green-
blue) engine coolants will significantly re-
duce anti-corrosion protection and should
therefore be avoided.

lation
s.
This is for your own safety and that of
other drivers.
● If you have a flat tyre, stop the vehicle as
far aw
ay as possible from moving traffic. Stop
on flat, solid ground.
● If you have to change the tyre on a gradi-
ent, block
the wheel opposite the wheel be-
ing changed by placing a stone or similar ob-
ject under it to prevent the vehicle from roll-
ing away unexpectedly.
● If the vehicle has been fitted with tyres or
allo
ys that are different to those fitted in
manufacture, the instructions ››› page 217,
New tyres or wheels must be followed.
● Always raise the vehicle with the doors
closed.
● Nev

er place parts of your body, e.g. arms
and leg
s, underneath the vehicle when it is
supported only by the jack.
● Secure the base of the jack with suitable
suppor
ts so that it cannot slip. The jack could
slide if the ground below it is soft and slip-
pery and the vehicle could slip off it. There-
fore, place the jack on a firm surface or use a
large, stable base. On a slippery surface, e.g.
tile, use a non-slip base such as a rubber
mat.
● Never start the engine when the vehicle is
jack
ed. Risk of injury.
● The jack should only be used in the correct
jack
ing points. CAUTION
● The pre s

cribed tightening torque for wheel
bolts on steel and alloy wheels is 120 Nm.
● If the anti-theft wheel bolt is overly tight-
ened, this c
ould damage the bolt and the
adapter. Note
● The set of anti-thef

t wheel bolts or the
adapter are available from authorised SEAT
dealers.
● Please observe the relevant local legal reg-
ulation
s when changing the wheel. Wheel bolts
The wheel
bolts
ar
e m
atched to the rims.
When installing different wheels, e.g. to fit
light alloy wheels or wheels with winter tyres,
it is important to use the correct wheel bolts
with the right length and correctly shaped
bolt heads. This is essential for a secure fit of
the wheels and for proper operation of the
brake system. Note
● Never gr e

ase or oil the wheel bolts!
● If the wheel bolt is very tight, it may be
poss
ible to loosen it by pushing down the
end of the box spanner carefully with your foot. Hold on to the vehicle for support and
tak
e c

are not to slip.
● If you notice that the wheel bolts are rusty
and difficult
to turn when changing a wheel,
they must be replaced before having the
tightening torque checked. Tyre repairs

 page 45
The Tyre Mobility System is stored in a box
under the carpet in the boot.
Using the Tyre Mobility System you can relia-
bly seal tyres damaged by foreign bodies,
provided that cuts or punctures are no larger
than approx. 4 mm in diameter. Do not re-
move the foreign bodies, e.g. bolts or nails,
from the tyre!
The tyre must be repaired immediately.
The repair made using the Tyre Mobility Sys-
tem under no circumstances replaces perma-
nent tyre repair and should only be used to
drive to the nearest official service.

Self-help
CAUTION
● Do not t o
w-start the engine. Risk of engine
damage! In vehicles with a catalytic convert-
er, fuel that has not been burned could reach
the catalytic converter and catch fire in it.
This could damage and destroy the catalytic
converter. You may use the battery from an-
other vehicle to help you start your engine
›››  page 52.
● If, due to a fault, there is no oil in the gear-
box, the car m
ay only be towed with the driv-
en wheels lifted clear of the road and trans-
ported on a special vehicle transporter or
trailer.
● If normal towing is not possible or if the ve-
hicle i
s to be towed for further than 50 km,
the vehicle must be transported on a special
vehicle transporter or trailer.
● The towrope should be slightly elastic to
reduce the lo
ad on both vehicles during tow-
ing. It is advisable to use a towrope made of
synthetic fibre or similar material only.
● Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle
and alwa
ys take care to avoid jerking the tow-
rope. When towing on a loose surface there is
always a risk of overloading and damaging
the anchorage points.
● Attach the towrope or towbar only to the
towline anc
horages or to the removable tow-
ing bracket ››› page 184, or ››› page 79. Note
● We r ec

ommend you use the towrope or tow-
bar available in the SEAT Original Accessories
programme from authorised SEAT dealers.
● Towing a vehicle requires a certain degree
of practic
al skill. Both drivers should be fa-
miliar with the technique required for towing.
Inexperienced drivers should not attempt to
tow away another vehicle or to have their ve-
hicle towed.
● Note the legal regulations concerning tow-
ing, par
ticularly those regarding the signal-
ling of the towed and towing vehicle.
● The towrope must not be twisted, as under
cert
ain circumstances this could unscrew the
front towline anchorage. Front towline anchorage

orks when the ignition is
switched on. In order to avoid engine dam-
age, please read the following notes for the
different temperature ranges. Engine cold
If on
ly

the diodes in the lower part of the
scale light up, this indicates that the engine
has not yet reached operating temperature.
Avoid high revs and heavy acceleration and
do not make the engine work hard.
Normal temperature
If in normal operations, the diodes light up
until the central zone, it means that the en-
gine has reached operating temperature. At
high outside temperatures and when making
the engine work hard, the diodes may contin-
ue lighting up and reach the upper zone. This
is no cause for concern, provided the control
lamp  does not light up on the instrument
panel digital display.
Heat range
When the diodes light up in the upper area of
the display and the control lamp appears 
on the instrument panel display, the coolant
temperature is excessive ››› page 208. CAUTION
● To en s

ure a long useful life for the engine,
avoid high revs, driving at high speed and
making the engine work hard for approxi-
mately the first 15 minutes when the engine
is cold. The phase until the engine is warm al-
so depends on the outside temperature. If
necessary, use the engine oil temperature*

Operation
●
Addition a
l lights and other accessories in
front of the air inlet reduce the cooling effect
of the coolant. At high outside temperatures
and high engine loads, there is a risk of the
engine overheating.
● The front spoiler also ensures proper distri-
bution of the c
ooling air when the vehicle is
moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can re-
duce the cooling effect, which could cause
the engine to overheat. Seek specialist assis-
tance. Fuel level gauge
Fig. 112
Fuel gauge. The fuel gauge
››
›
Fig. 112 operates only
when the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of approx. 55 li-
tres. When the needle reaches the fuel re-
serve area there are only approximately 7 li-
tres left in the tank. In the general instrument panel a warning signal lights up
 and an
audible s
ignal sounds.
The informative display indicates: Refuel! Fuel range…km...(miles) CAUTION
Never completely empty the tank! An irregu-
larity in the f

uel supply system can cause ir-
regularities when the engine is running. Un-
burned fuel can reach the exhaust gas sys-
tem, which can cause deterioration of the cat-
alytic converter. Note
● Some v ehic

les come fitted with the fuel
gauge on the general instrument panel.
● The message on the display switches off
only af

● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
● Park the vehicle away from traffic and en-

contact with the exhaust system (e.g. dry
grass, fuel).
● A faulty vehicle represents a risk of acci-

necessary, switch on the hazard warning
lamps and put out the warning triangle to ad-
