Coolant specifications
The engine cooling system is supplied from
the factory with a specially treated mixture of
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 an optimum anti-
corrosion protection ››› in Checking the

l

ant level and topping up on page 194.
The mixture of G13 with G12 plus (TL-VW 774
F), G12 (red) or G11 (green-blue) engine cool-
ants will significantly reduce anti-corrosion
protection and should therefore be avoided

Advice
equipment at the workshop. If the comfort
f u
nction
s are reprogrammed, the information
and Instruction Manual descriptions will not
coincide with the modified functions. There-
fore, SEAT recommends that any modifica-
tions be recorded in the section “Other work-
shop notes” in the Maintenance Programme.
The SEAT Official Service must have a record
of any modification to the programming.
Reading the vehicle fault memory
There is a diagnostics connector in the vehi-
cle interior for reading the vehicle fault mem-
ory. The fault memory documents errors and
deviations from the theoretical values of the
electronic control units.
The diagnostics connector is in the driver
side footwell area, next to the lever for open-
ing the bonnet, below a cover.
The fault memory should only be read and re-
set by a specialised workshop.
Using a mobile telephone in a vehicle
without c
onnection to an exterior aer-
ial Mobile telephones transmit and receive radio
w
av
e

s also called high-frequency energy,
both when in use and when on stand-by. Sci-
entific studies state that radio waves exceed-
ing certain values may be harmful to the hu- man body. International committees and au-
thorities h

ave established limits and direc-
tives in order to ensure electromagnetic radi-
ation from mobile phones remains within cer-
tain limits that do not endanger health. Nev-
ertheless, there is no conclusive scientific
evidence that wireless telephones are totally
safe.
That is why some experts recommend moder-
ate use of the mobile telephone, and the ap-
pliance of measures to reduce radiation on
the human body.
When a mobile phone not connected to an
exterior aerial is used inside the vehicle, the
electromagnetic radiation may be greater
than if the mobile phone were connected to a
built-in aerial or to another exterior aerial.
If the vehicle is fitted with a suitable hands-
free device that allows the employment of
numerous additional mobile telephone func-
tions with compatible Bluetooth technolo-
gy ®
, it will comply with the legislation in
many countries which only permits the use of
mobile phones inside vehicles using a
hands-free device.
Mobile telephones must be placed in a suita-
ble telephone support or stored safely in the
vehicle. If a support is used for the tele-
phone, it must be securely fastened to the
base plate. The mobile will be secure on the
instrument panel and always within reach of
the driver only by following these procedures. Mobile telephone connection with an exter-
nal aeri
al is carried out subject to the hands-
free device, via the telephone support or by
the Bluetooth ®
connections present in the
mobile telephone and the vehicle.
If the mobile phone is connected to an aerial
incorporated into the vehicle or an exterior
aerial connected to the vehicle, it will help re-
duce the electromagnetic radiation transmit-
ted and the risk to human health. It will also
improve the quality of the connection.
If the phone is used inside the vehicle with-
out the hands-free system, it will not be se-
curely fastened and will not be connected to
the exterior aerial of the vehicle telephone.
Nor will the telephone charge if it is not on
the support. In addition, some calls may
break off and the quality of the connection
will be affected.
Mobile telephones should only be used in-
side the vehicle if they are connected to a
hands-free system. SEAT recommends using
an external aerial should you wish to use a
mobile telephone inside the vehicle.

If the mobile phone is not securely fastened
in pos ition, it

could be sent flying around the
vehicle in the event of sharp braking, sudden
manoeuvres or accident, causing injury. 168

Advice

wood
s, dr
ains, roads, paths, rivers and drain-
age systems. Engine coolant
Introduction WARNING
Engine coolant is toxic!
● Only keep engine coolant in its original
c ont ainer

, tightly shut and in a safe place.
● Never store engine coolant in empty food
container
s or bottles as other people may ac-
cidentally drink it.
● Always keep engine coolant out of reach of
chil
dren.
● Ensure that the proportion of engine cool-
ant ad
ditive corresponds to the lowest out-
side temperature to which the vehicle will be
exposed.
● If the outside temperature is extremely low,
the engine coo
lant could freeze causing the
vehicle to stop. As this would also cause the
heating to stop working, vehicle occupants
without warm clothing could freeze. For the sake of the environment
Coolants and additives can contaminate the
env ir

onment. If any fluids are spilled, they should be collected and correctly disposed
of, w
ith r

espect to the environment. Coolant warning lamp
