The essentials
way, in the event of an accident, the front air-
bags can depl oy fully when trigger
ed, pr
ovid-
ing maximum protection.
The front airbag for the driver is located in the
steering wheel

The essentials
Place the gear lever in neutral on vehicles
with a manual gearbo x. With an aut
omatic
gearbo
x, 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 switched on, provided that the battery
is sufficiently charged. Otherwise, it will need
more force.
Ensure that the tow rope remains taut at all
times.

Safety
Airbag system
Brief intr oduction
Intr oduction Front airbags have been installed for both
driver and passenger
. The fr
ont airbags can
also protect the chest and head of driver and
passenger if the seats, seat belts head re-
straints and, for the driver, the steering wheel
are correctly adjusted and used. Airbags are
considered as additional safety equipment.
An airbag cannot replace the seat belt, which
must be worn at all times, even in front seats
where front airbags have been installed.
The airbag can protect vehicle occupants in
the event of an accidents, cushioning the
movement of the occupants in the direction
of the collision in frontal and side accidents.
Deployed airbags fill with a propellant gas.
This causes the airbag covers to break and
the airbags to deploy extremely quickly in
their entire deployment space within frac-
tions of a second. When an occupant with the
seat belt properly fastened puts pressure on
the inflated airbag, the propellant gas es-
capes to absorb the force of the impact and
slow the movement. This reduces the risk of
severe or fatal injuries. Airbag deployment
does not mean that other types of injury such
as swelling, bruising and skin injuries can be ruled out. Upon deployment of the airbag,
friction can cause the generation of heat.
Airbags do not pr
ot

ect the arms or the lower
part of the body.
The most important factors for triggering the
airbag are the type of accident, the angle of
impact, the vehicle speed and the character-
istics of the object the vehicle hits. Therefore,
airbags are not triggered every time the vehi-
cle is visibly damaged.
The activation of the airbag system depends
on the magnitude of the deceleration of the
vehicle caused by a collision, which registers
through an electronic control unit. If the de-
celeration magnitude value is below the ref-
erence value programmed in the control unit,
the airbags will not deploy even though seri-
ous damage might be caused to the vehicle
as the result of an accident. Damage suf-
fered by the vehicle, reparation costs or ab-
sence of damage suffered from the accident
are not indications of whether an airbag
should have been deployed. Due to the vary-
ing nature of collision situations, it is impossi-
ble to define a speed range of the vehicle
and reference values. For this reason, it is not
possible to cover all types of collisions and
collision angles resulting in the deployment of
the airbag. Factors necessary for the airbag
to be deployed can be, the characteristics of
the object (hard or soft) against which the ve-
hicle collides, the collision angle and the ve-
hicle speed. Airbags act in conjunction with the three-
point seat belts in certain accident situations,
when the v
ehicle deceleration rate is severe
enough to trigger the airbags. Airbags only
deploy once and only under certain circum-
stances. Seat belts remain present to offer
protection in situations where airbags are not
triggered or where they have already de-
ployed. For example, when a vehicle hits an-
other after an initial collision or is hit by an-
other vehicle.
The airbag system is an integral part of the
car

The vehicle can only be towed if the steer-
ing lock el ectr
onic gearbox lock is deacti-
vated. If the vehicle has no power supply or
there is an electric system fault, the engine
must be started using jump leads to deacti-
vate the steering column electronic gear-

Lights and visibility
Adjusting the headlights In those countries where vehicles drive on the
other side of the road t
o the home country,
the asymmetric dipped beam may dazzl
e
drivers of oncoming vehicles.
For this reason, stickers may be needed to
cover the headlights when driving abroad.
For further information, please refer to a spe-
cialised workshop. SEAT recommends visiting
a technical service. Note
The use of stickers to cover headlights is
only permitted o v

er a short period. To mod-
ify the direction of the headlamps more
permanently, please take the vehicle to a
specialised workshop. SEAT recommends
taking your car in for technical service. Headlight range control, lighting of

The ESC* has limits. It is important to realise
that ESC* is also subject to the laws of phys-
ics. ESC* will not be able to deal with all sit-
uations with which drivers may be faced. For
example, if the road surface changes sud-
denly then ESC* will not be useful in all ca-
ses. If the vehicle suddenly enters a section
covered by water, mud or snow then ESC*
will not provide assistance in the same way
as on dry ground. If the vehicle loses its grip
on the ground and moves on a film of water
(“aquaplaning”), the ESC* will not be able to
help the driver control the vehicle due to the
loss of adherence with the road surface pre-
venting braking and steering. If the vehicle is
driven through series of bends at high speed,
the ESC* will not always be as effective: ag-
gressive driving is not the same as slow driv-
ing.
Adjust your speed and driving style to suit vis-
ibility, and weather, road and traffic condi-
tions. ESC* cannot push the limits of the laws
of physics; improve the transmission available
or maintain the vehicle on the road if a lack of
driver attention creates an inevitable situa-
tion. Otherwise, ESC* assists in maintaining
vehicle control in extreme situations and uses
the movements of the steering made by the driver to maintain the vehicle moving in the
desired direction. If the v
ehicle is driven at
such a speed that it will leave the road before
ESC* can intervene then the system cannot
provide assistance.
The ABS, BAS, ASR and EDL systems are in-
corporated into the ESC*. The ESC* is al-
ways on 1)
.
Anti-lock system (ABS)
ABS can prevent the wheels from locking dur-
ing braking until just before the vehicle stops
thus helping the driver to steer the vehicle
and maintain control. This means that, even
during full braking, the risk of skidding is re-
duced:
