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-

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

Warning area. When the engine is work-

e switching it off. Note
After the engine is switched off the radiator
f an may run on f
or up to 10 minutes, even if
the ignition is switched off. It is also possi-
ble that the fan turns itself on once more if
the coolant temperature increases due to
the heat accumulated in the engine com-
partment or due to its prolonged exposure
to solar radiation. Electronic immobilizer
The electronic immobiliser prevents unau-
thorised persons fr
om driving the v
ehicle.
Inside the key there is a chip that deactivates
the electronic immobiliser automatically
when the key is inserted into the ignition.
The electronic immobiliser will be activated
again automatically as soon as you pull the
key out of the ignition lock. For vehicles with
the “Keyless Access” system, the key has to
be outside the vehicle.
If the following message is shown on the in-
strument panel display: S A F E , the vehicle
cannot be started.
The engine can only be started using a genu-
ine SEAT key with its correct code. Note
A perfect operation of the vehicle is ensur-
ed if genuine SEAT k eys ar
e used. Emergency starting function

On the right of the steering column:

art. If no valid key is detected inside the vehicle,
an emer
gency st
art-up will be required. The
relevant message will appear in the dash
panel display. This may happen when, for ex-
ample, the vehicle key battery is very low:

The layout of parts may vary depending on
the engine . Engine oil
Gener al not
es The engine comes with a special, multi-grade
oil that can be used all year r
ound.
Because the use of high-qualit
y oil is essen-
tial for the correct operation of the engine
and its long useful life, when topping up or changing oil, use only those oils that comply
with VW st
andar
ds.
We recommend that the oil change be done
by a technical service or specialised work-
shop.
If the engine oil level is too low
You can get information about the correct en-
gine oil for your vehicle at your workshop.
If the recommended engine oil is not availa-
ble, in the event of an emergency you can
change the oil once with a maximum of 0.5 L
of the next oil until the next oil change:
266
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.
