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

Airbag system
frontal collision the system might not trigger
corr
ectly
or may fail to trigger at all. Airbag activation
The airbags deploy extremely rapidly, within
thous
andths

of a second, to provide addi-
tional protection in the event of an accident.
A fine dust may develop when the airbag de-
ploys. This is normal and it is not an indica-
tion of fire in the vehicle.
The airbag system is only ready to function
when the ignition is on.
In special accidents instances, several air-
bags may activate at the same time.
In the event of minor head-on and side colli-
sions, rear-end collisions, overturning or roll-
over of the vehicle, airbags do not activate.
Activation factors
The conditions that lead to the airbag system
activating in each situation cannot be gener-
alised. Some factors play an important role,
such as the properties of the object the vehi-
cle hits (hard/soft), angle of impact, vehicle
speed, etc.
Deceleration trajectory is key for airbag acti-
vation. The control unit analyses the collision trajec-
tor
y

and activates the respective restraint
system.
If the deceleration rate is below the prede-
fined reference value in the control unit the
airbags will not be triggered, even though
the accident may cause extensive damage to
the car.
The following airbags are triggered in seri-
ous head-on collisions:
● Driver airbag.
● Front passenger front airbag
The fol
lowing airbags are triggered in seri-
ous side-on collisions:
● Front side airbag on the side of the acci-
dent.
● Re

ar side airbag on the side of the acci-
dent.
● Cur

tain (head) airbag on the side of the ac-
cident.
In an ac

cident with airbag activation:
● the interior lights switch on (if the interior
light swit
ch is in the courtesy light position);
● the hazard warning lights switch on;
● all doors are unlocked;
● the fuel supply to the engine is cut. Airbag and seat belt tensioner control
lamp  The control lamp monitors all airbags and
seat
belt

tensioners in the vehicle, including
control units and wiring connections.
Monitoring of airbag and belt tensioner sys-
tem
Both the airbag and belt tensioner systems
operation is constantly monitored electroni-
cally. Each time the ignition is switched on,
the control lamp  illuminates for several
seconds (self-diagnosis) and the instrument
panel display* shows AIRBAG/TENSIONER.
The system must be checked when the con-
trol lamp  :
● does not light up when the ignition is
swit c

hed on,
● turns off after 4 seconds after the ignition
is sw
itched on,
● turns off and then lights up again after the
ignition is sw
itched on,
● illuminates or flashes while the vehicle is
movin
g.
In the event of a malfunction, the warning
lamp stays on continuously. In addition, de-
pending on the malfunction, a fault message
appears on the instrument panel display for
approximately 10 seconds and a short audi-
ble warning is given. In this event, you »

lation
s.
This is for your own safety and that of
other drivers.
● If you have a flat tyre, stop the vehicle as
far aw
ay as possible from moving traffic. Stop
on flat, solid ground.
● If you have to change the tyre on a gradi-
ent, block
the wheel opposite the wheel be-
ing changed by placing a stone or similar ob-
ject under it to prevent the vehicle from roll-
ing away unexpectedly.
● If the vehicle has been fitted with tyres or
allo
ys that are different to those fitted in
manufacture, the instructions ››› page 219,
New tyres or wheels must be followed.
● Always raise the vehicle with the doors
closed.
● Nev

er place parts of your body, e.g. arms
and leg
s, underneath the vehicle when it is
supported only by the jack.
● Secure the base of the jack with suitable
suppor
ts so that it cannot slip. The jack could
slide if the ground below it is soft and slip-
pery and the vehicle could slip off it. There-
fore, place the jack on a firm surface or use a
large, stable base. On a slippery surface, e.g.
tile, use a non-slip base such as a rubber
mat.
● Never start the engine when the vehicle is
jack
ed. Risk of injury.
● The jack should only be used in the correct
jack
ing points. CAUTION
● The pre s

cribed tightening torque for wheel
bolts on steel and alloy wheels is 120 Nm.
● If the anti-theft wheel bolt is overly tight-
ened, this c
ould damage the bolt and the
adapter. Note
● The set of anti-thef

t wheel bolts or the
adapter are available from authorised SEAT
dealers.
● Please observe the relevant local legal reg-
ulation
s when changing the wheel. Wheel bolts
The wheel
bolts
ar
e m
atched to the rims.
When installing different wheels, e.g. to fit
light alloy wheels or wheels with winter tyres,
it is important to use the correct wheel bolts
with the right length and correctly shaped
bolt heads. This is essential for a secure fit of
the wheels and for proper operation of the
brake system. Note
● Never gr e

ase or oil the wheel bolts!
● If the wheel bolt is very tight, it may be
poss
ible to loosen it by pushing down the
end of the box spanner carefully with your foot. Hold on to the vehicle for support and
tak
e c

are not to slip.
● If you notice that the wheel bolts are rusty
and difficult
to turn when changing a wheel,
they must be replaced before having the
tightening torque checked. Tyre repairs

The Tyre Mobility System is stored in a box
under the carpet in the boot.
Using the Tyre Mobility System you can relia-
bly seal tyres damaged by foreign bodies,
provided that cuts or punctures are no larger
than approx. 4 mm in diameter. Do not re-
move the foreign bodies, e.g. bolts or nails,
from the tyre!
The tyre must be repaired immediately.
The repair made using the Tyre Mobility Sys-
tem under no circumstances replaces perma-
nent tyre repair and should only be used to
drive to the nearest official service. »
