ar

you are in is not the most economical
choice. If no gear-change is recommended, it
means that you are already in the most eco-
nomical gear.

Shifting down a gear CAUTION
The gear-change indicator is intended to help
sav e f

uel, but it is not intended to recom-
mend the right gear for all driving situations.
In certain situations, only the driver can
choose the correct gear (for instance when
overtaking, driving up a steep gradient or
towing a trailer). Note
The display disappears from the instrument
panel when

you press the clutch pedal. Outside temperature display
Outside temperature
When the outs
ide t
emper

ature is below +4°C
(+39°F), the “ice crystal” symbol (warning of
risk of freezing) is also displayed. At first, this
symbol flashes and then it remains lit until
the outside temperature rises above +6°C
(+43°F) ››› in Indications on the display on

. When the vehicle is at a standstill or when
travel

ling at very low speeds, the tempera-
ture displayed may be higher than the true
outside temperature as a result of the heat
produced by the engine.
The temperatures measured range from
-40°C to +50°C (-40°F to +122°F).

The engine reaches its operating temperature
when in normal driving conditions, the oil

If there is a fault in the power system to the

selector lever lock system (flat bat-
tery, blown fuse) or the system itself is faulty,
the selector lever cannot be moved from po-
sition P in the normal manner, which pre-
vents the vehicle from being moved. The se-
lector lever must be unlocked using the man-
ual release.
● Apply the handbrake.
● Pull gently on both sides at the front of the
selector l
ever cover.
● Also loosen the cover at the rear.
● Press the yellow plastic part with your fin-
ger in the direction indic
ated by the arrow
››› Fig. 45.
● Press the interlock button on the selector
lever kno
b at the same time and move the se-
lector lever to position N (if the selector lever
is moved back to position P, it will lock
again). 36

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

Safe driving
risk of injury. The following points cover part
of the s
af
ety equipment in your SEAT:
● three-point seat belts,
● belt tension limiters for the front and rear
side seats,
● B

elt tensioners for the front seats,
● Belt height adjustment for the front seats
● front airbags,
● side airbags in the front seat backrests,
● side airbags in the rear seat backrests*,
● head-protection airbags,
● active front head restraints*,
● “ISOFIX” anchor points for child seats in
the rear s
ide seats with the “ISOFIX” system,
● height-adjustable front head restraints,
● rear head restraints with in-use position
and non-use pos
ition,
● adjustable steering column.
The safety
equipment mentioned above
works together to provide you and your pas-
sengers with the best possible protection in
the event of an accident. However, these
safety systems can only be effective if you
and your passengers are sitting in a correct
position and use this equipment properly.
Safety is everyone's business! Correct position of the vehicle

Correct head restraint position for the

. For your own safety and to reduce the risk of
injur
y
in the ev

ent of an accident, we recom- mend the following adjustments for the driv-
er:
– Adjust the steering wheel so that there is a
dist

ance of at least 25 cm between the
steering wheel and the centre of your chest
››› Fig. 72.
– Move the driver's seat forwards or back-
ward

s so that you are able to press the ac-
celerator, brake and clutch pedals to the
floor with your knees still slightly angled
››› .
– Ensure that you can reach the highest point
of the s
t

eering wheel.
– Adjust the head restraint so that its upper
edge is

at the same level as the top of your
head, or as close as possible to the same
level as the top of your head ››› Fig. 73.
– Move the seat backrest to an upright posi-
tion so that

your back rests completely
against it.
– Fasten your seat belt securely ›››
page 62.
– Keep both feet in the footwell so that you
have the

vehicle under control at all times.

Rear outer seat head restraints
– The rear outer seat head restraints have 4
po s
ition
s.
– Three positions for use ›
›› Fig. 75. In these
positions, the head restraints are used nor-
mally, and along with the rear seat belts,
protect passengers in the rear seats.
– And one position for non-use.
– T

o fit the head restraints in position for use,
pul
l on the edges with both hands in the
direction of the arrow.
Centre rear head restraint*
– The centre head restraint only has two posi-
tions, in-u

se (head restraint up) and non-
use (head restraint down). WARNING
● Under no cir c

umstances should the rear
passengers travel while the head restraints
are in the non-use position.
● Do not swap the centre rear head restraint
with either of the out
er seat rear head re-
straints. Risk of injury in case of an accident! CAUTION

P ed
a

ls –
Ensure that you can always press the accel-
erat or

, brake and clutch pedals unimpaired
to the floor.
– Ensure that the pedals can return unim-
paired t

o their initial positions.
– Ensure that the floor mats are securely fas-
tened during the trip and do not

obstruct
the pedals ››› .
On ly
u

se floor mats which leave the pedals
clear and which are secured to prevent them
from slipping. You can obtain suitable floor
mats from a specialised dealership. Fasten-
ers* for floor mats are fitted in the footwells.
If a brake circuit fails, the brake pedal must
be pressed down thoroughly in order to stop
the vehicle.
Wear suitable footwear
Always wear shoes which support your feet
properly and give you a good feeling for the
pedals. WARNING
● If the ped a

ls are obstructed, an accident
may occur. Risk of serious injuries. ●
Never l a

y or fit floor mats or other floor cov-
erings over the original floor mats. This
would reduce the pedal area and could ob-
struct the pedals. Risk of accident.
● Never place objects in the driver footwell.
An obj
ect could move into the pedal area and
impair pedal operation. In the event of a sud-
den driving or braking manoeuvre, you will
not be able to operate the brake, clutch or ac-
celerator pedal. Risk of accident! 61Technical data
