er cap of the expansion tank when the engine heats up.
WARNING
● The anti-freeze additive and, therefore, the entire coolant, are a
health hazard. Avoid touching the coolant. Coolant fumes are also a
health hazard. Store the coolant additive in a safe place out of the reach
of children. Risk of poisoning!
● If splashed into eyes, rinse immediately with clean water and seek
immediate medical advice.
● Seek immediate medical advice if the coolant is accidentally inges-
ted.
CAUTION
If the engine oil cannot be topped up under the given conditions,  do not
drive on. We recommend contacting an authorised SEAT dealer, as this can
damage the engine.
Radiator fan

temperature of the coolant.
After the engine has been stopped and the ignition switched off, the radia-
tor fan may continue running for around 10 minutes.

Checking brake fluid level
The brake fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment of
the vehicle.
– Switch the ignition off.

– Open the bonnet ⇒ p age 182.
– Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir
be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks.
The fluid level drops slightly after a period of time due to automatic com-
pensation for brake pad wear. This is quite normal.
However, if the level goes down noticeably in a short time, or drops below
the "MIN" mark, there may be a leak in the brake system. If the brake fluid

level in the reservoir is too low, this will be indicated by the warning lamp in
the instrument panel  ⇒ p age 70, Brake system .
