WARNING
Read and always observe safety infor-
mation concerning the passenger

Safe driving
an incorrect position means the seat belt
cannot off er its full pr
ot
ection. This could re-
sult in severe and even fatal injuries. The risk
of severe or fatal injuries is especially height-
ened when a deploying airbag strikes a vehi-
cle occupant who has assumed an incorrect
sitting position. The driver is responsible for all
passengers in the vehicle, particularly chil-
dren.
The following list shows just some examples
of incorrect sitting positions which can be
dangerous to all vehicle occupants.
When the vehicle is in motion:

Specific child seat regulations for each
country (sel ection)
Chil d seats must comply with the ECE-R 44 1)
r
egulation. You can get additional information
by consulting your SEAT dealership or at the
internet address www.seat.es.

. Nor do all seats adapt t

o the vehicle.
Therefore, always check whether the child fits properly in the child seat and whether the
seat can be installed saf

ely in the vehicle.
Child seats approved under the ECE-R 44
regulation are fitted with the corresponding
approval symbol. The sign is an upper-case E
in a circle with the identification number be-
low it.
Use of the child seat on the front
passenger seat 2) Transporting children on the front passenger
seat is not permitt
ed in all countries. Further
-
mor

e, not all child seats are approved for use
on the front passenger seat. Your SEAT deal-
ership has an updated list of all approved
child seats. Only used child seats that are
approved for each vehicle.
The front airbag on the front passenger side
is highly dangerous for a child. The front pas-
senger seat is life-threatening to a child if he
or she is transported in a rear-facing child
seat.
If a rear-facing child seat is secured to the
front passenger seat, an inflating front airbag can strike it with such great force that severe
or fatal injuries may r

esult

Transporting children safely
Suitable child seats
The chil d seat must be authorised by the
manuf act
urer especially for use on a front
passenger seat with a front or side airbag.
Universal seats for children can be fitted in
the front passenger seat, in groups 0, 0+, 1, 2
or 3 according to the ECE-R 44 regulation. WARNING
If a child seat is mounted on the front pas-
senger seat, the risk of the child sust aining
se

vere or fatal injuries in the event of an ac-
cident increases. Rear-facing child seats
must never be mounted on the front pas-
senger seat when the front passenger front
airbag is enabled. This is life-threatening to
the child should the front airbag deploy, as
the child seat would be struck by the infla-
ted airbag and thrown against the seat
backrest. WARNING
If, in exceptional circumstances, a child
must be transpor t

ed in a rear-facing child
seat on the front passenger seat, strictly
observe the following:

Air conditioning
To achieve sufficient heating power, cooling
and v entil
ation in the int
erior, the vents should
be left open.
Key to the Fig. 141:
Adjustable air vents: the vent slats can be
used to open and close the vents and to
adjust air direction. For the air to reach
1 the windows as best as possible, open the
corr
esponding v
ent and t
urn it to the de-
frost/demist position, where it will en-
gage.
Non-adjustable air vents
There are more vents in the footwell areas
and at the back of the interior. 2 CAUTION
Never place food, medicines or other tem-
perat ur

e-sensitive objects close to the air
vents. Food, medicines and other objects
sensitive to heat or cold may be damaged
or made unsuitable for use by the air com-
ing from the vents. Tips and instructions for use

Start and driving
Run-in and economical driv-
ing Running in Please observe the instructions for running-in
new components.
Running-in the engine
The engine needs t
o be run in o
ver the first
1,500 km. During its first few hours of running,
the internal friction in the engine is greater
than later on when all the moving parts have
bedded down.
How the vehicle is driven for the first 1,500 km
influences the future engine performance.
Throughout the life of the vehicle, it should be
driven at a moderate speed, especially when
the engine is cold, as this will reduce engine
wear and increase its useful life. Never drive
at extremely low engine speeds. Change
down to a lower gear when the engine no
longer runs “smoothly”. Up to 1,000 kilome-
tres the following instructions apply:

fusion when choosing the fuel.
Petrol with ethanol (“E” stands for Etha-
nol). The number indicates the percent-
1 age of ethanol in the petrol. “E5” means,

ample, an ethanol ratio of 5% max.
Diesel with biodiesel (“B” stands for Bio-
diesel). The number indicates the per-
centage of biodiesel in the diesel. “B7”
means, for example, a proportion of bio-
diesel of max. 7%.
Natural gas: “CNG” means Compressed
Natural Gas.
Type of petrol  Applies to v
ehicl
es: with petrol engine
The correct grade of petrol is listed inside the
fuel tank flap.
The vehicle is equipped with a catalytic con-
verter and must only be run on unleaded
petrol. The petrol must comply with the
standard EN 228 and be sulphur-free. Fuels
with a 10% ethanol ratio can be refuelled
(E10) 2)
. The types of petrol are differentiated
by using the octane numbers (RON) or via
the anti-knock index (AKI).

mation included in the corresponding stickers

We recommend refuelling with super 95 oc-
tane petrol (91 AKI). If not available: normal 91
octane petrol (87 AKI) (with a slight power
loss).
Super unleaded petrol, 95 octanes at
least
You should use super 95 octane petrol (91
AKI) at least.
If super is not available, if necessary, use nor-
mal 91 octane petrol (87 AKI). In this case only
use moderate engine speeds and a light
throttle. Refuel with super as soon as possi-
ble.
Unleaded super plus 98 octane petrol or
super 95 octane petrol at least
We recommend refuelling with super plus 98
octane petrol (93 AKI). If not available: super
95 octane petrol (91 AKI) (with a slight power
loss).
If super is not available, if necessary, use nor-
mal 91 octane petrol (87 AKI). In this case only
