CAUTION
If the engine has been driven at high speed
for a prolonged period of time, it may over-
heat when turned off. To avoid engine dam-
age, allow the engine to run for approximate-
ly 2 minutes in neutral before switching it off.
Note
After stopping the engine, the engine com-
partment fan may continue running for a few
minutes, even when the ignition has been
switched off or the key removed. The radiator
fan is automatically switched off.
Electronic immobiliser
The gear lock prevents the engine from being
started with an unauthorised key and the ve-
hicle being moved.
The vehicle key has a built-in chip. It auto-
matically deactivates the electronic immobil-
iser when the key is inserted into the ignition
lock.
The electronic immobilizer will be activated
again automatically as soon as you remove
the key from the ignition lock.
For this reason, the vehicle can only be used
with a genuine SEAT key with the correct
code. Coded keys can be obtained from SEAT

Operation
If an unauthorised key is used, the signal
appears on the instrument panel display. The
vehicle cannot be started in this case
Note
The correct operation of the vehicle is only
guaranteed when original SEAT keys are
used.
Braking and parking
Introduction
The assisted brake systems are the electron-
ic distribution of the brake force (EBV), the
anti-lock brake system (ABS), the brake as-
sist system (BAS), the electronic differential
lock (EDL), the traction control (TC), the trac-
tion control system (ASR) and the electronic
stability control (ESC*).
WARNING
Driving with worn brake pads or a faulty
brake system may lead to serious accident.
If you believe the brake pads to be worn or
●
the brake system to be faulty, immediately
refer to a specialised workshop to check the
brake pads and replace the worn ones.
WARNING
Careless parking can cause serious injury.
Never remove the key from the ignition if
●
the vehicle is in motion. The steering lock
may engage and lock the steering wheel mak-
ing the vehicle impossible to control.
Always park your vehicle so that no part of
●
the exhaust system can come in contact with
flammable materials (such as wood, leaves,
dried grass, spilled fuel, etc.).
●
Always apply the handbrake when you
leave your vehicle and when you park.
●
Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the vehicle. They could release the
electronic parking brake, activate the selec-
tor lever or gear stick and start the vehicle
moving. This could result in a serious acci-
dent.
●
Always take all the keys with you whenever
you leave the vehicle. The engine could acci-
dentally be started and electrical equipment
such as the windows could accidentally be
operated resulting in serious injury.
●
Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the car. They could be trapped in the
car in an emergency and will not be able to
get themselves to safety. For example, de-
pending on the time of the year, tempera-
tures inside a locked and closed vehicle can
be extremely high or extremely low resulting
in serious injuries and illness or even death,
particularly for young children.
