What to do first ●
Park the vehicle on a horizontal surface
and in a s af

e place as far away from traffic as
possible.
● Apply the handbrake.
● Switch on the hazard warning lights.
● Manual gearbox: select
the 1st gear.
● Automatic gearbox: Mov
e the selector lever
to position P.
● If you are towing a trailer, unhitch it from
your
vehicle. ●
Have the
vehicle tool kit ›››
 page 83
and the spare wheel* ready
›››  page 298.
● Observe the applicable legislation for each
cou
ntry (reflective vest, warning triangles,
etc.).
● All occupants should leave the vehicle and
wait
in a safe place (for instance behind the
roadside crash barrier). WARNING
● Alw

ays observe the above steps and pro-
tect yourself and other road users.
● If you change the wheel on a slope, block
the wheel on the op
posite side of the car with
a stone or similar to prevent the vehicle from
moving. 52

Airbag system
●
The s ide and he
ad airbags are managed
through sensors located in the interior of the
front doors. To ensure the correct operation of
the side and curtain airbags neither the
doors nor the door panels should be modified
in any way (e.g. fitting loudspeakers). If the
front door is damaged, the airbag system
may not work correctly. All work carried out
on the front door must be done in a special-
ised workshop. Deactivating airbags

tain cases, i.e. if:
● a child seat is required in the front passen-
ger se
at with the child facing in the opposite
direction to the direction of travel (in some
countries, due to divergent legal require-
ments, facing in the direction of travel)
››› page 80;
● despite the driver's seat being in the cor-
rect
position, a minimum distance of 25 cm
cannot be maintained between the centre of
the steering wheel and the driver's torso,
● installation of special devices is required in
the st
eering wheel area due to a physical dis-
ability,
● if you have special seats installed (e.g. an
orthop
aedic seat without side airbags).
The front passenger front airbag can be disa-
bled using the switch ››› page 78.
We recommend that you contact an author-
ised SEAT dealer for the disabling of other air-
bags.

tem:
● the airbag system warning lamp  il
lumi-

about 4 seconds, and then flashes for about
12 seconds.
If the airbag has been disabled with the air-

In the event of a fault in the airbag system,
the airb ag m

to trigger or may even trigger unexpectedly,
leading to severe or fatal injuries.
● Have the airbag system checked immedi-
ately
by a specialised workshop.
● Never mount a child seat in the front pas-
seng
er seat or remove the mounted child
seat! The front passenger front airbag may
deploy during an accident in spite of the
fault. CAUTION
Always pay attention to any lit control lamps

Emergencies
CAUTION
● The t o
wing eye must always be completely
and firmly tightened. Otherwise, it could be
released while towing and tow-starting.
● If the vehicle is factory-equipped with a
to

wing bracket, it is only allowed to tow with
a tow bar if this has been specially designed
to be installed with a tow hitch. If an unsuita-
ble tow bar is used, both the tow hitch and
the vehicle may be damaged. Instead, a tow
rope should be used. Driving tips for towing
Towing requires some expertise and experi-
enc
e, e

specially when using a tow rope. Both
drivers should be familiar with the difficulties
involved in towing. For this reason, inexper-
ienced drivers should abstain from towing.
During towing, it should be ensured that no
impermissible tractive forces or shocks are
generated. When towing on an unpaved
road, there is always a risk of overloading
and damaging the anchorage points.
During towing, the towing vehicle can signal
the change of direction even with the hazard
warning lights turned on. To do so, at the
same time, the turn signal lever must be op-
erated with ignition switched on. Meanwhile,
the hazard warning lights will go off. When
the turn signal lever is returned to the rest position, the hazard warning lights will be
autom

atically reactivated.
Notes for the driver of the towed vehicle ● Leave the ignition on, so that the steering
is

not blocked, and the electronic parking
brake may be deactivated and the turn sig-
nals and wash/wipe operated.
● More strength is required at the steering
wheel a
s the power steering does not oper-
ate when the engine is switched off.
● You should depress the brake much harder
as
the brake servo does not operate. Avoid
hitting the towing vehicle.
● Bear in mind the information and instruc-
tions
in the manual of the vehicle to be tow-
ed.
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
● Accelerate with particular care and caution.
Av
oid sharp manoeuvres.
● Brake earlier than usual and smoothly.
● Bear in mind the information and instruc-
tions
in the manual of the towed vehicle. Fuses and bulbs
F u

ses
Introduction In general, a fuse can be assigned to various
el
ectric

al components. Likewise, an electrical
component can be protected by several
fuses.
Only replace fuses when the cause of the
problem has been solved. If a newly inserted
fuse blows after a short time, you must have
the electrical system checked by a special-
ised workshop as soon as possible. WARNING
The high voltages in the electrical system can
giv e seriou

s electrical shocks, causing burns
and even death!
● Never touch the electrical wiring of the igni-
tion sys
tem.
● Take care not to cause short circuits in the
electric
al system. WARNING
Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses or
bridgin g a c

urrent circuit without fuses can
cause a fire and serious injury. 90
