The system runs a check on certain compo-
nents
and f
u
nctions when the ignition is
switched on and while the vehicle is moving.
Faults in the operation are displayed on the
screen using red and yellow symbols and
messages on the instrument panel display
( ››› page 32, ››› page 32) and, in some ca-
ses, with audible warnings. The display may
vary according to the type of instrument pan-
el fitted.
Priority 1 warning (red symbols)
Symbol flashing or lit; partly combined with audible
warnings.
Stop the vehicle! It is dangerous ››› in Warning
and control lamps on page 98 !
Check the function that is faulty and repair it. If necessa-
ry, request assistance from specialised personnel.
Priority 2 warning (yellow symbols)
Symbol flashing or lit; partly combined with audible
warnings.
A faulty function, or fluids which are below the correct
levels may cause damage to the vehicle! ›››
in Warn-
ing and control lamps on page 99
Check the faulty function as soon as possible. If neces-

tion.
Changing between display modes on the
MFD
● In vehicles without multifunction steering

Multifunction display memory
The multifunction display is equipped with
three memories that work automatically: MFD
from departure, MFD from refuelling and MFD
total calculation. On the screen display, you
can read which memory is currently dis-
played. ● Toggle between memories with the ignition
on and the memory di
splayed: Press the
button on the windscreen wiper lever
or the button of the multifunction steering
wheel .26
Checking and refilling levels
Check the condition of all seat belts at regu-
l ar int
er
vals.
Very soiled belts may not retract properly. WARNING
● The seat belt
s should never be removed
from the vehicle for cleaning.
● Never clean using chemical products, as
chemica
l detergents destroy the fabric. En-
sure that the seat belts do not come into con-
tact with corrosive fluids such as acids, etc.
● If you find any damage to the belt webbing,
belt fitting
s, the belt retractor or the buckle,
the belt in question must be replaced by an
Official Service.
● Make sure that the inertia reel seat belts
are comp
letely dry before allowing them to
retract. Checking and refilling levels

– Check that the fuel flap is properly closed. WARNING
Observe all relevant statutory regulations on
tran s
porting spare fuel canisters. For safety reasons, we do not recommend carrying a
sp
ar
e canister in the vehicle. The canister
could be damaged in an accident and fuel
may leak. Risk of fire! CAUTION
● Sw itc
h off the auxiliary heater (heater and
independent heater) before filling the tank.
● The fuel tank is full as soon as the automat-
ic fil
ler nozzle cuts out. Do not continue fill-
ing, as this will fill the expansion chamber.
● Never completely empty the tank! An irreg-
ular f
uel supply can cause ignition faults,
which can result in damage to a substantial
amount of engine parts and the exhaust sys-
tem.
● If any fuel is spilt onto the paintwork of the
vehicl
e, it should be removed immediately.
Risk of damage to paintwork! Note
There is no emergency mechanism for the
manua l
release of the fuel tank flap. If neces-
sary, request assistance from specialised per-
sonnel. Note
The fuel tank capacity is around 55 litres, of
which 7 litr e
s are the reserve. Types of petrol
The correct grade of petrol is listed inside the
fuel
t
ank flap.
The vehicle is equipped with a catalytic con-
verter and must only be run on unleaded pet-
rol. The petrol must comply with European
Standard EN 228 or German standard DIN
51626-1 and must be unleaded. You can re-
fuel with a maximum ethanol proportion of
10 % (E10). The types of petrol are differenti-
ated by their octane rating (RON).
The following titles appear on the corre-
sponding adhesive on the fuel tank flap:
Super unleaded 95 octane or normal 91 oc-
tane unleaded petrol
We recommend you use super 95 octane pet-
rol. If this is not available: normal 91 octane
petrol, with a slight decrease in power.
Super unleaded petrol with a minimum of 95
octanes
You should use super petrol with a minimum
of 95 octanes.
If super is not available, in an emergency you
may refuel with normal 91 octane petrol. In
this case only use moderate engine speeds
and a light throttle. Refuel with super as soon
as possible.

authorised tyre in inches 1)
Type plate
The model plate is located at the bottom of
the B pillar, between the front and rear doors,
on the right-hand side.
The type plate indicates the following
weights:
● Total permitted weight of the vehicle when
loaded
● M
aximum authorised weight of the vehicle
with a trai
ler, when the vehicle operates as a
tractor
● Maximum permitted load of the front axle
● Maximum permitted load of the rear axle
Weight in ru
nning order
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
of the weight of the driver and service fluids,
in addition to a fuel tank at 90% capacity. 4 5 From the difference between the total permit-
t
ed w

in running order the approximate
carrying capacity can be calculated ››› .
The c arr
y
ing capacity must include:
● occupants,
● all pieces of equipment and other weights,
● roof loads including the roof rack,
● equipment that is not included in the run-
ning order w

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.
● Depending on the volume of equipment,
driving s
tyle, road conditions, weather condi-
tions and the condition of the vehicle, con-
sumption values can differ from the theoreti-
cal values stated here. Information on fuel consump-
