The Easy Connect system, the button and

Mirr or
s
and windscreen wipers can be used to
h av
e the e
xterior mirrors fold in when the ve-
hicle is parked ››› page 123.
When the vehicle is locked with the remote
control, by pressing for more than approxi-
mately 1 second the exterior mirrors are fol-
ded in automatically. When the vehicle is
opened with the remote control, the exterior
mirrors are deployed automatically. WARNING
● Con v
ex or aspheric mirrors increase the
field of vision however the objects appear
smaller and further away in the mirrors. If you
use these mirrors to estimate the distance to
vehicles behind you when changing lane, you
could make a mistake. Risk of accident.
● If possible, use the rear vision mirror to es-
timate di
stances to vehicles behind you.
● Make sure that you do not get your finger
trapped betw
een the mirror and the mirror
base when folding back the mirrors. Risk of
injury! For the sake of the environment
The exterior mirror heating should be switch-
ed off when it i
s no longer needed. Other-
wise, it is an unnecessary fuel waste. Note
● If the el ectric
al adjustment ever fails to op-
erate, the mirrors can be adjusted by hand by
lightly pressing the edge of the mirror glass.
● In vehicles with electric exterior mirrors,
the fol
lowing points should be observed: if,
due to an external force (e.g. being knocked
while manoeuvring), the adjustment of the
mirror housing is altered, the mirror will have
to be fully folded electrically. Do not readjust
the rear vision mirror housing by hand, as
this will interfere with the mirror adjuster
function.
● The fold-in function on the exterior mirrors
wil
l not activate at speeds over 40 km/h
(25 mph). Seats and head restraints

The safe driving chapter contains important
inform ation, tip
s, suggestions and warnings
that you should read and observe for your
own safety and the safety of your passengers
››› page 75. WARNING
● Never a dju
st the driver or front passenger
seat while the vehicle is in motion. While ad-
justing your seat, you will assume an incor-
rect sitting position. Risk of accidents. Adjust
the driver or front passenger seat only when
the vehicle is stationary.
● To reduce the risk of injury to the driver and
front p
assenger in case of a sudden braking
or an accident, never drive with the backrest
tilted towards the rear. The maximum protec-
tion of the seat belt can be achieved only
when the backrests are in an upright position
and the driver and front passenger have prop-
erly adjusted their seat belts. The further the 154
Seats and head restraints
backrests are tilted to the rear, the greater
the risk
of
injury due to improper positioning
of the belt web!
● Exercise caution when securing the seat
height into f
orwards/backwards position. In-
juries can be caused if the seat height is ad-
justed without due care and attention.
● To move the seat forwards and backwards,
pul
l upwards and not sideways on the lever,
as the force exerted on it in that direction
could damage it. Adjusting the front head restraints

WARNING
If the fabric of the cushion is wet, this can ad-
ver sely
affect the operation of the seat heat-
ing, increasing the risk of burns.
● Make sure the seat cushion is dry prior to
usin
g the seat heater.
● Do not sit on the seat with clothing that is
wet or d
amp.
● Do not leave clothing that is wet or damp
on the seat.
● Do not
spill liquid on the seat. CAUTION
● To av oid d
amaging the heating elements of
the seat heaters, please do not kneel on the
seat or apply sharp pressure to a single point
on the seat cushion or backrest.
● Liquids, sharps objects and insulating ma-
teria
ls (e.g. covers or child seats) can damage
the seat heating.
● In the event of smells, switch off the seat
heating immedi
ately and have it inspected by
a specialised workshop. For the sake of the environment
The seat heating should remain on only when
needed. Otherw i
se, it is an unnecessary fuel
waste. Folding down the back seat

Variable floor in the tilted position
When the v
ari
able floor is tilted you can ac-
cess the spare wheel/anti-puncture kit area.
● Lift the variable floor in the high position
usin
g handle 1 , pull it up and push it to-
w ar
d
s the backrest of the rear seats until the
floor folds along the hinge line and the mov-
able part of the floor is resting on itself.
● Rest the floor on its housings ›››
Fig. 171
(arrows). WARNING
During a sudden driving or braking manoeu-
vre, or in the ev ent
of an accident, objects
could be flung though the interior and cause
serious or fatal injuries.
● Always secure objects, even when the lug-
gage c
ompartment floor is properly lifted.
● Only objects that do not protrude more
than 2/3 the height of
the floor may be car-
ried between the rear seat and the raised lug-
gage compartment floor.
● Only objects that do not weigh than ap-
prox
imately 7.5 kg may be carried between
the rear seat and the raised luggage compart-
ment floor. CAUTION
● The max imum w
eight that can be loaded on
the luggage compartment variable floor in
the top position is 150 kg. ●
Do not l et
the luggage compartment floor
fall when closing it. Always carefully guide it
downwards in a controlled manner. Other-
wise, the lining and the floor of the luggage
compartment could be damaged. Note
SEAT recommends the use of straps to secure
o b j
ects to retaining rings. Roof carrier*
Intr oduction The vehicle roof has been designed to opti-
mi
se aer
ody
namics. For this reason, cross
bars or conventional roof carrier systems can-
not be secured to the roof water drains.
As the roof water drains are integrated in the
roof to reduce air resistance, only SEAT-ap-
proved cross bars and roof carrier systems
can be used.
Cases in which cross bars and the roof carri-
er system should be disassembled.
● When they are not used.
● When the vehicle is washed in a car wash.
● When the vehicle height exceeds the maxi-
mum height, for e x
ample, in some garages. WARNING
When heavy or bulky loads are transported
on the roof c
arrier system, car driving per-
formance is affected, as the centre of gravity
shifts and there is greater wind resistance.
● Always secure the load properly using belts
or retainin
g straps that are suitable and in a
good condition.
● Bulky, heavy, long or flat loads have a neg-
ative effect
on aerodynamics, the centre of
gravity and driving performance.
● Avoid sudden braking and manoeuvres.
● Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times t
o suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions. CAUTION
● Remo v
e the cross bars and the roof carrier
system before entering a car wash.
● Vehicle height is increased by the installa-
tion of cr
oss bars or a roof carrier system and
the load secured on them. For this purpose,
check that your vehicle's height does not sur-
pass the headspace limit, for example, for un-
derpasses or for entering garage doors.
● Cross bars, a roof carrier system and the
load sec
ured on them should not interfere
with the roof aerial or hamper the path of the
panoramic sun roof ››› page 144 and the rear
lid.
● On opening the rear lid make sure that it
does not
knock into the roof load.164
