Safety
In the event of failure of a brake circuit, the
br ak
e ped
al must be pressed harder than
normal to brake the vehicle. WARNING
Objects falling into the driver's footwell could
prev ent

use of the pedals. This could lead the
driver to lose control of the vehicle, increas-
ing the risk of a serious accident.
● Make sure the pedals can be used at all
times, with no o
bjects rolling underneath
them.
● Always secure the mat in the footwell.
● Never place other mats or rugs on top of
the original
mat supplied by the factory.
● Ensure that no objects can fall into the driv-
er's footw
ell while the vehicle is in motion. CAUTION
The pedals must always have free and unob-
struct ed p

assage to the floor. For example, in
case of a fault in the brake circuit, the brake
pedal will need to be pressed further to stop
the vehicle. To press the brake pedal down
further will require more force than usual. Seat belts
Wh y
w

ear a set belt
Introduction Check the condition of all the seat belts at
re
gu

lar intervals. If you notice that the belt
webbing, fittings, retractor mechanism or
buckle of any of the belts is damaged, the
belt must be replaced immediately by a spe-
cialised workshop ››› . The specialised
w ork
shop mu

st use the appropriate spare
parts corresponding to the vehicle, the
equipment and the model year. SEAT recom-
mends taking your car in for technical serv-
ice. WARNING
Unbuckled or badly buckled seat belts in-
cr e

ase the risk of severe or even fatal inju-
ries. The seat belt cannot offer its full protec-
tion if it is not fastened and used correctly.
● Seat belts are the most effective way of re-
ducing the ri
sk of sustaining severe or fatal
injuries in the event of an accident. Seat belts
must be correctly fastened when the vehicle
is in motion to protect the driver and all vehi-
cle occupants.
● Before each trip, every occupant in the ve-
hicle oc
cupants must sit properly, correctly
fasten the seat belt belonging to his or her
seat and keep it fastened throughout the trip. This also applies to other vehicle occupants
when drivin
g in t

own.
● When travelling, children must be secured
in the vehic
le with a child restraint system
suitable for their weight and height and with
the seat belts correctly fastened
››› page 64.
● Instruct your passengers to fasten their
seat belt
s properly before driving off.
● Insert the latch plate into the buckle for the
appropri
ate seat and ensure it is engaged.
Using the latch plate in the buckle of another
seat will not protect you properly and may
cause severe injuries.
● Do not allow liquids or foreign bodies to en-
ter the buc
kle fastenings. This could damage
the buckles and seat belts.
● Never unbuckle your seat belt when the ve-
hicle i
s moving.
● Never allow more than one passenger to
share the s
ame seat belt.
● Never hold children or babies on your lap
sharing the s
ame seat belt.
● Bulky and unbuttoned clothing, such as a
coat
worn over a sweatshirt, impairs the
proper fit and function of the seat belt. WARNING
It is extremely dangerous to drive using dam-
aged se at

belts and could result in serious in-
jury or loss of life. 52

7 You should only change the wheels yourself if
the
v
ehic

le is parked in a safe place, you are
familiar with the procedure and safety stand-
ards and you have all the necessary tools!
Otherwise, you should seek professional as-
sistance. WARNING
Changing a wheel can be dangerous, espe-
ci a

lly on the hard shoulder. Please observe
the following rules to minimise the risk of in-
jury:
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Park at
a safe distance from surrounding traf-
fic to change a wheel.
● When changing a wheel, keep all passen-
gers, and p
articularly children, a safe dis-
tance away from the work area.
● Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn
other roa
d users.
● Ensure the ground on which you park is flat
and solid. If nec
essary, support the jack on a
wide solid base.
● If you are changing a wheel yourself, you
should be f
amiliar with the required proce-
dure. Otherwise, you should seek professio-
nal assistance.
● Only use suitable tools that are not dam-
aged when ch
anging a wheel.
● Always stop the engine, apply the hand-
brake l
ever firmly and place the selector lever
in position N, or engage a gear for a manual gearbox to reduce the risk of the vehicle mov-
ing ac
c

identally.
● Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bolts
checked as soon as possible with a reli-
able torque wrench. WARNING
If the wheel trims are not appropriate or not
fitt ed c orr

ectly, they could cause major acci-
dents or damage.
● Incorrectly mounted wheel trims may come
off whil
e driving and endanger other road
users.
● Damaged trims must never be mounted on
the wheels.
● Alw

ays ensure that the brake ventilation
and coolin
g is not cut off or blocked. This is
also valid if hubcaps are fitted later. If there
is not enough air, you may require signifi-
cantly longer braking distances. CAUTION
Remove and remount wheel trims taking care
to av oid d

amage to the vehicle. Tyre repair

Safety

Operation
In the case of the Climatronic, the control
p anel
s
creen shows the functions that are
currently activated. WARNING
When visibility through the window display is
poor, the ri sk

of collisions and accidents
which may cause serious injury increases.
● To guarantee good visibility, keep all win-
dows
free of ice and snow and properly dem-
isted.
● Adjust the heating, air conditioning and the
heated r
ear window so that the windows do
not mist up.
● Drive off only when you have good visibility
through the windo
ws.
● Do not use the air recirculation for long pe-
riods of
time. When the cooling is switched
off and the air recirculation is on, the win-
dows can mist over very quickly and seriously
impair visibility.
● Switch the air recirculation off when you do
not need it. WARNING
Used air can quickly cause driver tiredness
and reduc e their att

ention span, which could
lead to collisions, accidents and serious in-
jury.
● Never switch off the fan for a long time or
leav
e the air recirculation on for too long, since no exterior air enters the interior during
that
time. CAUTION
If the air conditioning is not working, switch
it off immedi

ately, together with the de-
frost/demist function (in the case of manual
air conditioning) and have a specialised
workshop check it out. This may help to avoid
other possible damage. CAUTION
To avoid damaging the heated rear window,
nev er affi x

adhesives to the electric filaments
on the inside of it. Air recirculation
In air recirculation mode, no fresh air enters
the
v
ehic

le interior.
To switch on the air recirculation, turn the ad-
juster to the right  or press the  button.
To switch off the air recirculation, turn the ad-
juster to the left  or press the  button
again ››› .
WARNING
Used air can quickly cause driver tiredness
and reduc e their att

ention span, which could lead to collisions, accidents and serious in-
jury
.
● Nev

er use the air recirculation for too long,
since no e
xterior air enters the interior during
that time.
● When the cooling is switched off and the
air recir
culation is on, the windows can mist
over very quickly and seriously impair visibil-
ity.
● Switch the air recirculation off when you do
not need it. CAUTION
In vehicles with an air conditioner, do not
smoke when air r ec

irculation is switched on.
The smoke taken in could impregnate the
cooling vaporiser and the activated charcoal
cartridge of the dust and pollen filter, leading
to permanent unpleasant odours. Note
● Climatr onic:

When reverse gear is engaged,
the air recirculation switches on briefly to
prevent exhaust gas from entering the interi-
or.
● When the outside temperature is very high,
it is
recommendable to switch the air recircu-
lation on briefly to cool down the interior
faster. 130

Operation
Tips and instructions for use Fig. 144
At the top of the centre console: Clima-
tronic c
ontrols The following tips and instructions for use
w
i
l

l help you to use the systems properly.
Reasons why the cooling switches off auto-
matically or will not switch on
● The engine is not running.
● The fan is switched off.
● The air conditioner fuse has blown.
● The outside temperature is lower than ap-
prox
imately +3°C (+38°F).
● The cooling system compressor has been
temporari
ly switched off because the engine
coolant temperature is too high.
● Another fault in the vehicle. Have the air
conditioner chec
ked by a specialised work-
shop. How to optimise visibility
●
To improve heating or cooling performance
and to prev
ent the windows from misting
over, keep the air intake slots in front of the
windscreen free of snow, ice and leaves.
● To allow the air to move freely through the
interior from the fr
ont to the rear, keep the
ventilation slits located at the back of the
luggage compartment free.
● The highest possible heating power will on-
ly be re
ached and ice removed from the win-
dows as quickly as possible when the coolant
is at its operating temperature.
Recommended settings for the heating and
fresh air system and the manual air condi-
tioning
● Switch off the air recirculation. ●
Set fan s
peed  or .
● Turn the temperature control to the inter-
mediate po
sition.
● Open and direct all the air outlets in the
dash p
anel.
● Turn the air distribution control to the re-
quired pos
ition.
● Manual air conditioning: pres
s the  but-
ton in the control panel to switch on the cool-
ing. The air is dehumidified in cooling mode.
Recommended Climatronic settings
● Press the  button in the control panel.
● Set the temperature to +22°C (+72°F).
● Open and direct the air outlets in the dash

Driving
and increase braking distance. If you drive for
a pr o
lon
ged period on salted roads without
braking then brake carefully several times to
eliminate the layer of salt on the brakes ››› .
If the
v

ehicle remains parked for considera-
ble lengths of time, is used little, or if the
brakes are not used, there may be corrosion
on the brake discs and a build up of dirt on
the brake pads. If the brakes are not used fre-
quently, or if rust has formed on the discs,
SEAT recommends cleaning the pads and
discs by braking firmly a few times at a mod-
erately high speed. Only do this without en-
dangering vehicles behind you or any other
road users ››› .
F au
lt

s in the brake system
During braking, if you notice that the vehicle
does not react as usual (that the braking dis-
tance has increased suddenly) it may be pos-
sible that there is a fault in the braking sys-
tem. This is indicated by the warning lamp
. Take the vehicle to a specialised work-
shop immediately and have the fault re-
paired. Drive at a moderate speed and be
prepared to use more pressure on the brake
pedal, and allow for longer stopping distan-
ces.
Brake servo
The brake servo only operates when the en-
gine is running and the pressure applied by
the driver on the brake pedal increases. If the brake servo does not operate or the ve-
hicle mu

st be towed, then the brake pedal
will have to be pressed with more force given
that the braking distance will be increased
when the brake servo does not operate ››› .
WARNING
New brake pads do not brake to full efficien-
cy.
● For the fir

st 320 km, new brake pads have
not y
et reached their maximum braking ca-
pacity, and need to be “run in” first. For this,
to compensate for reduced braking efficiency
the brake pedal will have to be pressed with
more force.
● To avoid losing control of the vehicle and
caus
ing serious accidents, always take great
care when driving with new brake pads.
● When running in new brake pads, always
res
pect the safety distances between you and
other vehicles and do not cause situations re-
quiring extreme braking performance. WARNING
When brakes overheat, braking is less effi-
cient and br

aking distances increase.
● When driving on slopes, brakes can be
overlo
aded and overheat quickly.
● Reduce speed or change down a gear when
faced w
ith steep and long slopes. This allows
you to use the engine braking effect and to
reduce the strain on the brake system. ●
Non-s t

andard or damaged front spoilers
could restrict the airflow to the brakes and
cause them to overheat. WARNING
Wet, frozen or salt-covered brakes take lon-
g er t o en

gage and this increases braking dis-
tances.
● Test the brakes carefully.
● Dry the brakes, free them of ice and salt by
brakin
g gently several times, when visibility,
weather, and road and traffic conditions per-
mit. WARNING
Driving without the brake servo may signifi-
cantly inc

rease the braking distance and re-
sult in a severe accident.
● Never allow the vehicle to move forwards
when the engine is
switched off.
● If the brake servo does not operate or the
vehicl
e must be towed, then the brake pedal
will have to be pressed with more force given
that the braking distance will be increased
when the brake servo does not operate. CAUTION
● Never m ak

e the brakes “slip” by pressing
the pedal gently, if it is not really necessary
to brake. Continuously pressing on the brake
pedal will heat the brakes. This could signifi-
cantly reduce braking power, increase » 141

R u

nning-in the engine
The engine needs to be run in over the first
1,500 km. During its first few hours of run-
ning, the internal friction in the engine is
greater than later on when all the moving
parts have bedded down.
How the vehicle is driven for the first 1,500
km influences the future engine perform-
ance. Throughout the life of the vehicle, it
should be driven at a moderate speed, espe-
cially when the engine is cold, as this will re-
duce engine wear and increase its useful life.
Never drive at extremely low engine speeds.
Change down to a lower gear when the en-
gine no longer runs “smoothly”. Up to 1,000
kilometres the following instructions apply:
● Do not use full throttle.
● Do not force the engine above two thirds of
its m ax

imum speed.
Between 1,000 and 1,500 kilometres, gradu-
ally increase power until reaching the maxi-
mum speed and high engine speeds. Running in new tyres and brake pads
