– Attach the straps 1 to the tray.
WARNING
Do not place objects on the rear shelf that
cou l

d endanger the vehicle occupants in case
of a sudden braking manoeuvre or an acci-
dent. CAUTION
● The re ar shelf

supports a maximum load of
1 kg.
● If handled incorrectly, the rear shelf could
bend when clos
ing the rear lid, and become
damaged or damage the trim. Follow the in-
structions below:

– The siz e of
the load must not exceed the
height of the shelf. –
When open, the shelf mu s

t not be bent
against the shelf seal.
– There must be no objects in the space be-
tween the open shelf and the backrest of
the rear seat. Note
The shelf will lift when the rear lid is opened. Roof rack*
Introduction WARNING
● The loa d on the r

oof carrier must be proper-
ly secured. Risk of accident!
● Always secure the load using retaining
strap
s that are in good condition.
● Distribute the load evenly.
● When transporting heavy or large objects
on the roof, an
y change in normal vehicle be-
haviour due to a change in the centre of gravi-
ty or increased wind resistance must be taken
into account. Risk of accident! For this rea-
son, speed and driving style must be adjus-
ted for the situation.
● Avoid sudden manoeuvres and braking.
● Adjust your driving style to suit visibility,
the weather and r
oad and traffic conditions.144

Transport and practical equipment
●
Never e x
ceed the allowed axle loads or al-
lowed maximum weight. Risk of accident! CAUTION
● On ly u

se SEAT-authorised roof carriers.
● Where roof carriers from other systems are
used or where they
are not fitted properly,
any damage caused to the vehicle will not be
covered by the warranty. Therefore, carefully
follow the Instruction Manual for installation
of the roof carrier.
● Remember that the rear lid must not hit the
roof lo
ad.
● The total height of the vehicle increases ac-
cordin
g to the roof load. Compare the height
of the vehicle with the heights of bridges or
other underpasses, for example, the height
of the garage door.
● Do not forget to remove the roof carrier be-
fore ent
ering an automatic carwash.
● Take into account that the load must not
damag
e the aerial located on the roof. For the sake of the environment
If aerodynamic resistance increases, fuel con-
sumption w i

ll also increase. Attachment points

Install and remove following the instructions
given. A B CAUTION
Follow the instructions given in the manual. Roof load
The maximum permissible roof load (includ-
ing the s
up

port system) of 75 kg and the to-
tal authorised weight of the vehicle must not
be exceeded.
It will not be possible to carry the full maxi-
mum load if the roof carrier you are using is
rated for a load which is less than this figure.
In this case, you can only load the roof carrier
to the maximum load permitted in your in-
stallation manual. 145

Air conditioning
He atin
g and air c
onditioning
General notes The power of the heating depends on the
temper
at

ure of the coolant. Therefore, maxi-
mum power is only obtained when the en-
gine has reached operating temperature.
The temperature and humidity of the air in-
side the vehicle decrease when the cooling
system is turned on. This therefore increases
the comfort of all vehicle occupants when
outside temperatures and humidity are high.
It also helps prevent the windows from mist-
ing over during cold periods of the year.
The air recirculation system can be switched
on temporarily to increase the cooling effect.
Keep the air intake slots in front of the wind-
screen clear of ice, snow or leaves to ensure
unimpaired heating and cooling.
When the air conditioning is on, condensa-
tion can drip from the evaporator in the air
cooling system and form a pool underneath
the vehicle. This is normal and does not indi-
cate a leak! WARNING
● All

windows must be clear of ice, snow and
condensation for driving safety. Therefore, make sure you familiarise yourself with the
corr
ect

use of heating and ventilation, win-
dow demisting and defrosting and cooling.
● Never use the air recirculation system for
too long, a
s it prevents fresh air from enter-
ing the vehicle and used air can cause tired-
ness, reduce your attention span and cause
the windows to mist over. This increases the
risk of an accident. Switch off the air recircu-
lation system as soon as the windows begin
to mist over. WARNING
Do not switch off Climatronic for longer than
nece s

sary.
● Switch Climatronic back on as soon as the
window
s begin to mist over. Note
● Used air e s

capes through ventilation slots
in the rear of the luggage compartment.
● Smoking is not recommended while the air
recir
culation system is in use, as the smoke
drawn from the interior of the vehicle settles
in the evaporator of the air conditioning sys-
tem. This causes a persistent, unpleasant
smell while the system is running that is
time-consuming and expensive (evaporator
replacement) to eliminate.
● To guarantee proper operation, never cover
the air outlets
in the luggage compartment. Economic use of the air-conditioning
sy
s
t

em When the air conditioning is switched on, the
compr
e

ssor consumes engine power and has
influence on fuel consumption.
If the vehicle interior has overheated due to
excessive solar radiation, it is best to open
the windows or doors to allow the hot air to
escape.
While in motion, the air conditioning should
not be switched on if the windows are open.
If the interior temperature can be reached
without switching on the air conditioning, the
fresh air mode should be used. For the sake of the environment
Saving fuel reduces emissions. Faults
If the air conditioning does not work at out-
s
ide t
emper

atures above +5°C (+41°F) then
the system is faulty. This may be due to one
of the following reasons:
● One of the fuses has blown. Check the fuse
and repl
ace if necessary ›››
page 81.
146

Air conditioning
● The air c onditionin
g c
ompressor has
switched off temporarily because of in-
creased engine coolant temperature
››› page 99. If you cannot repair the fault yourself or
where coo
ling power continues to drop,
switch off the system. Contact a specialised
service.
