Coolant fluid loss
Any loss of coolant normally indicates a leak.
It is not sufficient merely to top up the cool-
ant. The cooling system should be inspected
by an Official Service without delay.

In the event of a fault that causes the engine
to overheat, contact an authorised SEAT deal-
er immediately, as this could damage the en-

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. For this reason, always 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
attention.
● Seek immediate medical attention if the
coolant is accidentally ingested.
CAUTION
If the coolant cannot be topped up under the
given conditions, do not drive on. We rec-
