Checking and refilling levels
Charging the battery
The v ehicl
e battery should be charged by a
specialised workshop only, as batteries using
special technology have been installed and
they must be charged in a controlled environ-
ment.
Replacing a vehicle battery
The 12-volt vehicle battery has been de-
signed to suit its location and has special
safety features. If you need to change the
battery, please go to a service centre before
buying a new one to get information about
the electromagnetic compatibility, size and
maintenance requirements, performance and
safety of your vehicle’s new battery. SEAT
recommends you have the battery replaced
by a technical service.
Start-Stop systems ( ››› page 223
) are equip-
ped with a special battery. Therefore, it must
only be replaced with a battery of the same
specifications.
Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent
power management system to control the
distribution of electrical energy ››› page 351
.
The power management function ensures
that the battery is charged much more effi-
ciently than on vehicles without a power
management system. To maintain this func-
tion after replacing the battery, we recom-
mend that the replacement battery used is of
the same make and type as the original fitted battery. To make proper use of the power
management function after the batt
ery has
been changed, have the battery coded to the
power management mode at a specialised
workshop. WARNING
