The essentials
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
● The tow rope must be taut before you drive
off .
● Rel
ease the clutch very carefully when start-
ing the v
ehicle (manual gearbox), or acceler-
ate gently (automatic gearbox).
Driving style
Towing requires some experience, especially
when using a tow rope. Both drivers should
realise how difficult it is to tow a vehicle. In-
experienced drivers should not attempt to
tow.
Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle
and take care to avoid jerking the tow rope.
When towing on an unpaved road, there is al-
ways a risk of overloading and damaging the
anchorage points.
The towline anchorages are located under
the floor panel in the luggage compartment.
Switch on the ignition so that the turn sig-
nals, windscreen wipers and windscreen
washer can work. Ensure that the steering
wheel is unlocked and moves freely.
Place the gear lever in neutral on vehicles
with a manual gearbox. With an automatic
gearbox, place the lever in N.
To brake, press the brake pedal firmly. The
brake servo does not work when the engine
is switched off. The power steering only works when the igni-
tion is sw

itched on and the vehicle is moving,
provided that the battery is sufficiently charg-
ed. Otherwise, it will need more force.
Ensure that the tow rope remains taut at all
times.

››› page 79 Tow-starting
If the engine will not start, first try starting it
u
s
in

g the battery of another vehicle
››› page 52. You should only attempt to tow-
start a vehicle if charging the battery does
not work. This is done by leveraging wheel
movement.
When tow-starting a vehicle with a petrol en-
gine, do not tow it more than a short dis-
tance, otherwise unburned fuel can enter the
catalytic converter.
● Engage 2nd or 3rd gear before moving off.
● Press the clutch and hold the pedal down.
● Switch the ignition on.
● Once both vehicles are moving, release the
clutc
h.
● As soon as the engine has started, press
the clutc
h and move the gear lever to neutral. How to jump start
Jump lea
ds The jump lead must have a sufficient wire
cr
o

ss section.
If the engine fails to start because of a dis-
charged battery, the battery can be connec-
ted to the battery of another vehicle to start
the engine.
Both batteries need to have nominal voltage
of 12 V. The capacity (Ah) of the back-up bat-
tery should not be notably less than the
drained battery.
Jump leads must comply with standard DIN
72553 (see cable manufacturer's instruc-
tions). The wire cross section must be at least
25 mm 2
for petrol engines and at least
35 mm 2
for diesel engines.
Jump leads
Positive cable – usually red
Negative cable – usually black WARNING
● A flat b

attery can also freeze at tempera-
tures slightly below 0°C (+32°F). Do not at-
tempt to start the vehicle with a frozen bat-
tery. Risk of explosion! 52

The essentials
●
Ple a
se note the safety warnings referring to
working in the engine compartment
›››  page 204.
● The non-insulated parts of the battery
clamp
s must not be allowed to touch. Addi-
tionally, the jump lead attached to the posi-
tive battery terminal must not touch metal
parts of the vehicle. Risk of short circuit!
● Do not connect the negative lead to the
negativ
e terminal of the discharged battery.
In the event of sparks when starting the en-
gine, the explosive gas given off by the bat-
tery could catch fire.
● Position the jump leads in such a way that
they cannot
come into contact with any mov-
ing parts in the engine compartment.
● Do not bend over the battery. Risk of acid
burns!
● The s

crew plugs on the battery cells must
be scr
ewed in firmly.
● Keep sources of fire (flames, lit cigarettes,
etc.) a
way from the battery. - Risk of explo-
sion!
● Never use the jump leads on batteries in
which the electr
olyte level is too low. Risk of
explosion and acid burns. Note
● The v ehic

les must not touch each other, as
electricity could flow as soon as the positive
terminals are connected. ●
The dis c

harged battery must be properly
connected to the vehicle electrical system.
● The jump leads should be checked in a spe-
cia
list vehicle battery shop. How to jump start: description

The essentials
Starting Star
t
the engine of the vehicle with the
boosting battery and let it run at idling
speed.
Start the engine of the vehicle with the
flat battery and wait for 2 or 3 minutes
until the engine is running.
Removing the jump leads Before you remove the jump leads,
switch off the dipped beam headlights if
they are switched on.
Turn on the heater blower and heated
rear window in the vehicle with the flat
battery. This helps minimise voltage
peaks which are generated when the
leads are disconnected.
When the engine is running, disconnect
the leads in reverse order to the details
given above.
Make sure the battery clamps have sufficient
metal-to-metal contact with the battery termi-
nals.
If the engine fails to start after about 10 sec-
onds, switch off the starter and try again after
about 1 minute. WARNING
● Ple a

se note the safety warnings referring to
working in the engine compartment
›››  page 204. 7.

11. ●
The batt er

y providing assistance must have
the same voltage as the flat battery (12V) and
approximately the same capacity (see imprint
on battery). Failure to comply could result in
an explosion.
● Never use jump leads when one of the bat-
teries
is frozen. Danger of explosion! Even af-
ter the battery has thawed, battery acid could
leak and cause chemical burns. If a battery
freezes, it should be replaced.
● Keep sparks, flames and lighted cigarettes
awa
y from batteries, danger of explosion.
Failure to comply could result in an explo-
sion.
● Observe the instructions provided by the
manufact
urer of the jump leads.
● Do not connect the negative cable from the
other vehic
le directly to the negative terminal
of the flat battery. The gas emitted from the
battery could be ignited by sparks. Danger of
explosion.
● Never attach the negative cable to fuel sys-
tem component
s or the brake lines in the oth-
er vehicle.
● The non-insulated parts of the battery
clamp
s must not be allowed to touch. The
jump lead attached to the positive battery
terminal must not touch metal parts of the ve-
hicle, this can cause a short circuit.
● Position the leads in such a way that they
cannot c
ome into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
● Do not lean on the batteries. This could re-
sult
in chemical burns. Note
The vehicles must not touch each other, oth-
erw i

se electricity could flow as soon as the
positive terminals are connected. Changing the windscreen wiper

Emergencies
CAUTION
● Do not t o
w-start the engine. Risk of engine
damage! In vehicles with a catalytic convert-
er, fuel that has not been burned could reach
the catalytic converter and catch fire in it.
This could damage and destroy the catalytic
converter. You may use the battery from an-
other vehicle to help you start your engine
›››  page 53.
● If, due to a fault, there is no oil in the gear-
box, the car m
ay only be towed with the driv-
en wheels lifted clear of the road and trans-
ported on a special vehicle transporter or
trailer.
● If normal towing is not possible or if the ve-
hicle i
s to be towed for further than 50 km,
the vehicle must be transported on a special
vehicle transporter or trailer.
● The towrope should be slightly elastic to
reduce the lo
ad on both vehicles during tow-
ing. It is advisable to use a towrope made of
synthetic fibre or similar material only.
● Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle
and alwa
ys take care to avoid jerking the tow-
rope. When towing on a loose surface there is
always a risk of overloading and damaging
the anchorage points.
● Attach the towrope or towbar only to the
towline anc
horages or to the removable tow-
ing bracket ››› page 186, or ››› page 80. Note
● We r ec

ommend you use the towrope or tow-
bar available in the SEAT Original Accessories
programme from authorised SEAT dealers.
● Towing a vehicle requires a certain degree
of practic
al skill. Both drivers should be fa-
miliar with the technique required for towing.
Inexperienced drivers should not attempt to
tow away another vehicle or to have their ve-
hicle towed.
● Note the legal regulations concerning tow-
ing, par
ticularly those regarding the signal-
ling of the towed and towing vehicle.
● The towrope must not be twisted, as under
cert
ain circumstances this could unscrew the
front towline anchorage. Anchoring the front tow line
