The essentials
How to jump start Jump l eads The jump lead must have a sufficient wire
cross section.
If the engine f
ail
s 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
Operation

partment. Fig. 120

cle key, under a co
ver.
Changing the battery
Driving
With the help of this system, the ABS is activa-
t ed mor
e quickly and mor
e efficiently.
The brake assist function is deactivated auto-
matically when the brake pedal is released.
Hill hold control (HHC)*
The HHC system makes it easier to start the
vehicle on hills. The system maintains the
brake pressure created by pressing down on
the brake pedal for 2 seconds after it has
been released. Your foot can be removed
from the brake pedal and you can use the
accelerator pedal and move away on a hill
without having to use the handbrake. The
brake pressure drops as the accelerator ped-
al is pressed. If the vehicle cannot be started,
it will start to move backwards after 2 sec-
onds.
The HHC is activated on gradients of over 5%,
if the driver door is closed. It only works for
starting on hills, moving both forward and in
reverse. It is not activated during start-up
down hill.
Control lamp
If the control lamp ! flashes, the ESC is working.
If the ! warning lamp illuminates on ignition,
the ESC system may have switched off due to
technical reasons. Turn off the ignition and
turn it on again. Upon switching on the igni-
tion again, if the warning lamp has switched off, this means the ESC is functioning correct-
ly again.
If the !
warning lamp is illuminat
ed there is a
fault in the ESC.
The informative display indicates:
F a u l t : e l e c t r o n i c s t a b i l i t y c o n -
t r o l ( E S C )
or F a u l t : t r a c t i o n c o n t r o l s y s t e m
( A S R )
Go to a technical service. Note
If the battery is disconnected and connec-
ted again, the yell o
w warning lamp !
lights up when the ignition is switched on.
This warning lamp must switch off after
covering a short distance. Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
The ABS system prevents the wheels locking
during br
aking. This helps the driv
er k
eep
control of the vehicle.
The driver is made aware of ABS assistance
by the pulsating of the brake pedal and a
characteristic noise.
Keep the brake pedal pressed down while the
ABS is working. The ABS will switch off when the brake pedal is released. Never brake in-
termittently whil
e the ABS is working!
Control lamp
If the warning lamp is illuminated, there is a fault in the ABS.
The informative display indicates:
A B S f a u l t
The brake system alone is operational in the
vehicle, without ABS.
Go to a technical service. WARNING
Practical tips
Checking levels Fig. 243
Diagram for the location of the various el-
ements. From time to time, the levels of the different
fluids in the v
ehicl
e must be check
ed. Never
fill with incorrect fluids, otherwise serious
damage to the engine may be caused.

Practical tips
Always be aware of the danger of injury and
scal ding as w
ell as the risk of accident or fir
e
when working on the battery and the electri-
cal system. Therefore, always observe the
warnings and follow all general safety pre-
cautions. WARNING
Checking and refilling levels
For the sake of the environment
A flat battery is particularly harmful waste
for the envir onment. It must ther
efore be
disposed of according to current local law. Note
Replace a battery once it is older than 5
years. Warning lamp
It lights up
Alternator fault. The control lamp lights up when the ignition is
s
wit
ched on. It shoul
d go out when the engine
has started running.
If the control lamp lights up while driving, the alternator is no longer charging the bat-
tery. You should immediately drive to the
nearest specialised workshop.
You should avoid using electrical equipment
that is not absolutely necessary because this
will drain the battery. CAUTION
Additionally, if the warning lamp lights up while driving, the w arning l
amp also
lights up (cooling system fault). Stop the vehicle and switch off the engine
Wheels and tyres
Changing the battery A replacement battery must have the same
capacity, v
olt
age, current rating and size as
the original. The appropriate types of battery
can be acquired from authorised SEAT deal-
ers.
We recommend having the battery changed
by an authorised SEAT dealer, where the new
battery will be correctly installed and the
original disposed of in line with regulations.
Automatic disconnection of elec-
trical equipment When heavily-charging a battery, the pro-
gr
amme sel
ect
ed by the electrical system
control unit prevents the battery from auto-
matically discharging. This may result in the
following:
