Changing the battery
A replacement battery must have the same
capacity, voltage, current rating and size as
the original. The appropriate types of battery
can be acquired from authorised SEAT deal-
ers.
We recommend having the battery changed
by an authorised SEAT dealer, where the new
battery will be correctly installed and the
original disposed of in line with regulations.
Automatic disconnection of elec-
trical equipment
When heavily-charging a battery, the pro-
gramme selected by the electrical system
control unit prevents the battery from auto-
matically discharging. This may result in the
following:
Increase in idling speed so that the alterna-
●
tor can supply more current to the electrical
system.
The performance of certain electrical com-
●
ponents could be limited or some may switch
off temporarily, e.g. the heated seats, the
heated rear window, the 12 V power socket.
Note
Despite any measures taken by the control
unit, the battery could drain. e.g. with the

engine is switched off, the key is turned in
the ignition for a long period or the side
lights or parking lights are switched on. The
switching off of certain electrical compo-
nents does not impair driving comfort and
often the driver will not even notice.

Introduction
WARNING
During the first 500 km, new tyres do not
●
give maximum grip, therefore you should
drive carefully. Risk of accident!
Never drive with damaged tyres. Risk of
●
accident!
Only use wheels and tyres that been au-
●
thorised by SEAT or your vehicle model.
Failure to do so could impair road safety.
Risk of accident!
Never exceed the maximum speed per-
●
mitted for your tyres. Risk of accident due
to tyre damage and loss of vehicle control!
Under-inflated tyres are submitted to
●
greater rolling resistance. This means that
they can overheat at high speeds. This can
cause tread separation and even tyre
blow-out.
For driving safety, tyres should be re-
●
placed at least in pairs according to the
axle and not individually. The tyres with the
deepest tread should always be used on
the front wheels.
Never fit used tyres of an unknown age or
●
prior use.
