The Telephone functions described below
can be used through the Infotainment system
if there is a mobile telephone connected to it
via Bluetooth
®
›››
In order for the mobile telephone to be able
to connect to the Infotainment system the tel-
ephone must be equipped with
Bluetooth
®
.
If there is no mobile telephone connected to
the Infotainment system, the telephone man-
agement system will not be available.
The instructions shown on the screen for the
telephone menus will depend on the mobile
telephone used. There may be variations.
Only use compatible Bluetooth
®
devices. For
further information on compatible Bluetooth
®
products, ask your nearest SEAT dealer or
check on the internet.
Use the instruction manual of the mobile tele-
phone and of any accessories.
If you detect any operating issues between
your mobile telephone and the Infotainment
system, restart your mobile by switching it off
and on again.
WARNING
General, mandatory, legal and country-
specific instructions and laws for the use of
mobile phones inside the vehicle must al-
ways be considered.
WARNING
Speaking by telephone and using the mo-
bile telephone management system whilst
driving can distract you from the road and
cause an accident.
●
Always drive carefully and responsibly.
●
Select volume settings that allow you to
easily hear signals from outside the vehicle
at all times (e.g. emergency services sirens
and horns).
●
In areas of little or no coverage or, in
some cases, in a tunnel, garage or under-
pass, your call may be cut off and you may
not be able to make even emergency calls.
WARNING
If a mobile telephone is not secured or is in-
correctly secured in the vehicle, it could
move around the passenger compartment
in the event of a sudden driving manoeuvre
or emergency stop, resulting in injury.
●
While the vehicle is in motion, always se-
cure the mobile telephone properly outside
the airbag deployment zone.
WARNING
Mobile telephones may interfere with and
alter the correct operation of pacemakers
if they are carried directly over them.
●
Maintain a minimum distance of at least
20 centimetres between the aerials of the
mobile telephone and the pacemaker.
●
Do not carry your switched-on mobile
telephone in your breast pocket directly
over the pacemaker.
●
If you suspect interference, switch off the
mobile telephone immediately.
CAUTION
High speeds, poor weather or road condi-
tions and the quality of reception can all
»

Infotainment System
affect the audio quality of a telephone con-
versation in the vehicle.
Note
●
Restrictions on the use of devices using
Bluetooth
®
technology may apply in some
countries. For further information, contact
the local authorities.
●
If you wish to connect a device to the tel-
ephone management system via Blue-
tooth
®
technology, consult the safety
warnings in its instruction manual. Only use
compatible Bluetooth
®
devices.
Places with special regulations
Switch off the mobile telephone and the mo-
bile’s Bluetooth
®
function in places with a risk
of explosion. In the majority of cases, these
places are signposted, but not always clearly
in General information on page 189
.
They include, for example:
●
the vicinity of chemical pipelines and tanks
●
The lower decks of boats and ferries.
●
In the proximity of vehicles that run on liquid
gas (such as propane or butane).
●
places where the air is laden with chemi-
cals or particles such as flour, dust or metal
powder.
●
all other places where the vehicle engine
must be switched off.
WARNING
Switch off the mobile phone in areas with a
risk of explosion! The mobile telephone can
automatically connect to the mobile tele-
phone network again if it loses the Blue-
tooth
®
connection to the telephone man-
agement system.
CAUTION
In areas where special regulations apply or
the use of mobile telephones is prohibited,
both the telephone and the telephone
management system must be switched off.
The radiation produced by the mobile tele-
phone when switched on may interfere with
sensitive technical and medical equipment,
possibly resulting in a malfunction or dam-
age to the equipment.
Bluetooth
®
Bluetooth
®
technology allows a mobile tele-
phone to be connected to your vehicle's tele-
phone management system. In order to use
the telephone management system with a
mobile telephone with Bluetooth
®
technolo-
gy, it is first necessary to pair them.
Some Bluetooth
®
mobile telephones detect
and automatically connect when turning on
the ignition if a connection has been previ-
ously established. For this to take place the
telephone must be switched on and its Blue-
tooth
®
function activated, and there must be
no active Bluetooth
®
connection with other
devices.
Bluetooth
®
connections are free.

WARNING
●
When moving with the engine switched
off, the ignition key must always remain in
position
2
›››
(ignition
on). The control lamps will light up in this
position. Otherwise, the steering lock could
engage suddenly. Risk of accident!
●
Do not remove the key from the ignition
until the vehicle has come to a standstill
and is secure (e.g. the handbrake is engag-
ed). Otherwise, the steering lock could sud-
denly engage. Risk of accident!
●
Always take the ignition key with you
when you leave the vehicle. This is particu-
larly important if you leave children in the
vehicle. Children could, for example, start
the engine with the subsequent risk of acci-
dent.
●
Never leave the engine running in unven-
tilated or closed rooms. The exhaust gases
contain carbon monoxide, an odourless
and colourless poisonous gas. Risk of fatal
accidents! Carbon monoxide can cause
people to lose consciousness and can
cause death.
●
Never leave the vehicle unattended if the
engine is running.
●
Never switch the engine off until the vehi-
cle has come to a complete stop. Risk of
accident!
CAUTION
●
The starter motor may only be used (key
position
3
›››
in the ig-
nition) if the engine is off. Using the starter
motor when the engine is running could
damage it.
●
Immediately release the ignition key
when the engine starts, otherwise damage
could be caused to the starter motor.
●
When the engine is cold, you should
avoid high engine speeds, driving at full
throttle and over-loading the engine before
it reaches operating temperature. Risk of
engine damage!
●
Do not tow-start the engine. Risk of en-
gine damage! In vehicles with a catalytic
converter, fuel that has not been burned
could reach the catalytic converter and
catch fire in it. This would lead to a fault in
the catalytic converter. You may use the
battery from another vehicle to help you
start your engine
›››
●
After prolonged and demanding opera-
tion of the engine, when the journey has
ended, do not stop the engine immediately.
Let the engine run at idle for about one
more minute. This will stop the engine from
overheating.
For the sake of the environment
Do not warm up the engine when the vehi-
cle is stationary. If possible, move off im-
mediately after starting the engine. This
will help the engine reach operating tem-
perature more quickly, reducing the quanti-
ty of emissions.
Note
●
The engine can only be started with the
original SEAT key.
●
Loud running noises may be heard briefly
after cold-starting the engine. This is nor-
mal and is no cause for concern.
●
After the engine has been stopped and
the ignition switched off, the radiator fan
may continue running for around 10 mi-
nutes.
●
If the engine still does not start after a
second attempt, the fuel pump fuse might
have blown. Check it and replace if neces-
sary
or contact your Special-
ised Service.

box, petrol engine vehicle at low speed.
Otherwise, the brake servo might not work
properly. Risk of accident!
●
In the event of damage to the standard
front spoiler or where a different front
spoiler, wheel trims, etc. are subsequently
fitted, make sure the air vent to the brakes
on the front wheels is not blocked. Other-
wise, braking operations may be impaired.
Risk of accident!
●
Always fully release the handbrake. If it is
only partially released, this will cause
overheating of the rear brakes, which can
impair the function of the brake system.
Risk of accident!
●
Never leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle. They could release the handbrake
or move the gear lever. The vehicle could
start moving. Risk of accident!
●
Insufficient fuel can cause the engine to
run irregularly or to switch off. Brake assist
systems could be impaired. Risk of acci-
dent!
●
Always adjust your driving style to suit
visibility, the weather and road and traffic
conditions. The best vehicle safety offered
by brake assist systems must never encour-
age you to run greater risks. Risk of acci-
dent!
CAUTION
●
Observe the information concerning new
brake pads
●
Where braking is not necessary, do not
wear down the brake pads by pressing
down gently on the brake pedal. This cau-
ses the brakes to overheat, increasing their
wear and increasing braking distances.
●
To ensure the brake assist systems work
properly, all wheels must be fitted with
tyres approved by the manufacturer.
Note
●
If you brake suddenly and the brake sys-
tem control unit regards the situation as
hazardous for the drivers behind you, the
brake lights will begin to flash automatical-
ly. After reducing speed to approximately
10 km/h (6 mph) or stopping the vehicle,
the brake lights will stop flashing and the
hazard warning lights will switch on. The
hazard warning lights are automatically
switched off when you accelerate or re-
start the vehicle.
●
On long, steep gradients, reduce your
speed and change to a lower gear (manual
gearbox) or move the selector lever to a
lower gear position (automatic gearbox).
This uses the force of the engine and the
brakes do not suffer as much. If you still
have to brake, do so intermittently, press-
ing down repeatedly on the brake pedal.
●
Vehicle modifications (e.g. to the engine,
brakes, frame or a combination of wheels
and tyres) could impair the brake assist
systems
.
●
In the event of a fault in the ABS system,
the ESC, TCS and EDL are switched off au-
tomatically. A fault in the ABS is indicated
by the
warning lamp.

Brakes
Wear
The rate of wear of the brake pads depends
on the driving style and on the way in which
the vehicle is used. The brake pads will wear
more quickly if you use your vehicle frequent-
ly in urban traffic and short trips or drive in a
sporty style. Under these
demanding condi-
tions
, visit your specialised service, even be-
fore the scheduled service date, so that the
thickness of the brake pads can be meas-
ured.
Wet roads or road salt
If brakes are wet or frozen, or if you are driving
on roads which have been gritted with salt,
braking power may set in later than normal.
Dry the brakes as soon as possible by braking
repeatedly.
Corrosion
Long periods of inactivity and little use can
lead to rust on the brake discs and dirt on the
brake pads. Where the brake system is sub-
jected to light stress or in the case of corro-
sion, clean the brake discs by braking fully
several times at a high speed.
Brake system fault
If you notice that the braking distance sud-
denly increases and the brake pedal can be
pressed down more fully, there may be a
fault in the brake system. Visit a specialised
service immediately and adjust your driving
style to the extent of the damage and to limit
the effect of the brakes.
Low brake fluid level
Insufficient brake fluid could cause faults in
the brake system. The brake fluid level is con-
trolled electronically
Brake servo
The brake servo supplements the pressure
you exert on the brake pedal. The brake servo
only works when the engine is running.
Handbrake

Control lamp
The warning lamp lights up when the hand-
brake is applied with the ignition on
.
Additionally, driving the vehicle at speeds ex-
ceeding 6 km/h (4 mph) for at least 3 sec-
onds produces an audible warning.
The informative display indicates:
Release the handbrake!
Braking and stability sys-
tems

It lights up
Fault in the ESC or disconnection caused by the sys-
tem.
As the ESC operates in conjunction with the ABS, the
ESC light will also come on if a fault should occur in
the ABS.
Flashes
ESC or ASR activated.
It lights up
ASR manually deactivated.
It lights up
ABS faulty or does not work.
The control lamps light up together when the
ignition is switched on and should turn off af-
ter approximately 2 seconds. This is the time
taken for the function check.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
The ESC system increases control of the ve-
hicle in emergency situations, e.g. during a
sudden change in direction. Depending on
the driving conditions, it reduces the risk of
skidding and increases driving stability.
The system uses the steering wheel angle
and road speed to calculate the changes of
direction desired by the driver, and constant-
ly compares them with the actual behaviour
of the vehicle. When irregularities occur, for
example, if the vehicle begins to skid, the ESC
brakes the appropriate wheel automatically.
The
warning lamp on the general instru-
ment panel starts flashing when the system is
working.
The
stability (ESC)
system includes the fol-
lowing systems:
●
Anti-lock brake system (ABS),
●
Traction control system (TCS),
●
Electronic differential lock (EDL),
●
Hydraulic brake assist system (HBA),
●
Hill hold control (HHC).
The ASR should be switched on at all times.
Only under certain circumstances should the
system be switched off, e.g.
●
driving with chains,
●
driving in deep snow or on very soft surfa-
ces,
●
During the “swinging movement” required
to remove a stuck vehicle
Switch the ASR back on as soon as possible.
Brake assist system (HBA)*
The HBA system is activated when you press
down on the brake pedal suddenly. It increa-
ses braking power, helping to reduce braking
distances. To reduce braking distance as
much as possible, keep the brake pedal
pressed down firmly until the vehicle comes
to a standstill.

Driving
With the help of this system, the ABS is activa-
ted more quickly and more 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 illuminated there is a
fault in the ESC.
The informative display indicates:
Fault: electronic stability con-
trol (ESC)
or
Fault: traction control system
(ASR)
Go to a technical service.
Note
If the battery is disconnected and connec-
ted again, the yellow 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 braking. This helps the driver keep
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 while the ABS is working!
Control lamp
If the
warning lamp is illuminated, there is a
fault in the ABS.
The informative display indicates:
ABS fault
The brake system alone is operational in the
vehicle, without ABS.
Go to a technical service.
WARNING
●
If the
warning lamp illuminates togeth-
er with the
›››
warning lamp,
, stop the vehicle! Go to a technical serv-
ice.
●
A fault in the Anti-lock brake system
(ABS) can lead to longer braking distances
– Risk of accident!
Anti-slip regulation of the driving
wheels (ASR)*
If the wheels start to slip, the TCS adapts the
engine speed to the driving conditions. Par-
ticularly in unfavourable conditions, the TCS
helps starting, accelerating and hill starts.
