Check there is enough windscreen water in

the reservoir.
Plain water is not enough to clean the wind-
screen and headlights. We recommend that
you always add a product to the windscreen
washer fluid.
Recommended windscreen wipers

summer G 052 184 A1 for clear glass. Propor-
tions of the mixture in the washer fluid tank:

Never mix an unsuitable antifreeze or other
similar additives with the windscreen wash-

the windscreen which will impair visibility.
Use clean water with a window cleaner

could lead to flocculation and may block
the windscreen washer jets.
When topping up service fluids, make ab-

Battery

General information
The battery is located in the engine compart-
ment and is almost maintenance-free. It is
checked as part of the Inspection Service.
Nevertheless, check the terminals are clean
and have the correct tightening torque, espe-
cially in summer and winter.
All work on batteries requires specialist
knowledge. Please refer to a SEAT Official
Service or a workshop specialising in batter-
ies: risk of burns or exploding battery!
The battery must not be opened. Never try
