Operation
Things to note
If the v ehicl
e is left parked for a long time im-
mediately after refuelling, the natural gas lev-
el indicator may not accurately indicate the
same level shown after refuelling when the
vehicle is started up again. This is not due to a
leak in the system, but to a drop in pressure in
the gas tank for technical reasons after a
cooling phase just after refuelling. Note
In vehicles with natural gas engines, the
petr ol t

ank fuel level gauge may display
the refuelled amount with a slight delay
(depending on the refuelled amount). Engine coolant temperature indica-
t

Normal zone. At high outside tempera-
tures and when making the engine work
hard, the diodes may continue lighting up
and reach the upper zone. This is no
cause for concern, provided the control

Retrofitting a towing bracket Description Fig. 178
Limits and attachment points for ret-
r ofitting a t
owing bracket. SEAT recommends that towing brackets be
r
etr

ofitted at a specialised workshop. For ex- ample, it may very well be necessary to ad-
just the cooling system or mount thermal pr

o-
tection plates. SEAT recommends visiting a
SEAT dealership for this.
If a towing bracket is retrofitted, the distance
specifications should always be kept in mind.
The distance between the centre of the ball
head and the road ››› Fig. 178
C must never
be l ess than that indicat

ed. This also applies
when the vehicle is fully loaded, including the
technically permissible maximum vertical
load on the coupling device.

Practical tips
increased, but only up to 60 %; otherwise an-
tifr ee
ze protection will diminish and this will
worsen cooling.
When the coolant is topped up, use a mixture
of distilled water and at least 40 % of the
additive G12evo for optimal protection
against corrosion. Mixing G12evo with G13
(TL-VW 774 J), G12 plus-plus (TL-VW 774 G),
G12 plus (TL-VW 774 F), G12 (red) or G11
(green blue) engine coolants decreases pro-
tection again corrosion and should be avoi-
ded. WARNING
If there is not enough anti-freeze in the
cool ant syst

em, the engine may fail lead-
ing to serious damage.
