WARNING
Reduced visibility through the windows in-
creases the risk of serious accidents.
Always ensure that all windows are free of
●
ice and snow, and that they are not fogged,
so as to maintain good visibility of everything
outside.
● The maximum heat output required to de-
frost windows as quickly as possible is only
available when the engine has reached its
normal running temperature. Only drive when
you have good visibility.
● Always ensure that you use the heating
system, fresh air system, air conditioner and
the heated rear window to maintain good visi-
bility to the outside.
Never leave the air recirculation on for a
●
long period of time. If the cooling system is
switched off and air recirculation mode
switched on, the windows can mist over very
quickly, considerably limiting visibility.
● Switch air recirculation mode off when it is
not required.
WARNING
Stuffy or used air will increase fatigue and re-
duce driver concentration possibly resulting
in a serious accident.
Never leave the fresh air fan turned off or
●
use the air recirculation for long periods of
time; the air in the vehicle interior will not be
refreshed.
Air conditioning
CAUTION
● To replace the pollen filter, always visit a
service centre.
Switch the air conditioner off if you think it
●
may be broken. This will avoid additional
damage. Have the air conditioner checked by
a specialised workshop.
● Repairs to the air conditioner require spe-
cialist knowledge and special tools. SEAT rec-
ommends visiting a SEAT Official Service.
Note
When the cooling system is turned off, air
●
coming from the outside will not be dried. To
prevent fogging of the windows, SEAT recom-
mends leaving the cooling system (compres-
sor) turned on. To do this, press the button
. The button lamp should light up.

● The maximum heat output required to de-
frost windows as quickly as possible is only
available when the engine has reached its
normal running temperature.
● Keep the air intake slots in front of the
windscreen free of snow, ice and leaves to en-
sure heating and cooling are not impaired,
and to prevent the windows from misting
over.
