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

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

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-
