Auxiliary Heating And Ventilation; Water Or Water Vapour Under The Vehicle; The Temperature Unit Is Not Correct - Seat Ateca 2020 Owner's Manual

The air vent in front of the windscreen
●
keeps it free of ice, snow and leaves, which
improves the performance of the heating and
cooling systems.
The air grooves located at the rear of the
●
luggage compartment must be kept clear to
allow the air to circulate through the vehicle
from front to back.

The temperature unit is not correct

Use the infotainment system to change the
units for all of the vehicle's temperature dis-
plays.

Water or water vapour under the vehicle

When the outside air is very humid and the
ambient temperature is high, condensation
may drip from the evaporator of the cooling
system, which can form a puddle under the
vehicle. This is completely normal and is no
indication of a leak.
If the outside air is very humid and the ambi-
ent temperature is low, the auxiliary heating
can evaporate the condensation. In this case,
steam may come out from under the vehicle.
This does not mean that the vehicle has bro-
ken down.
Air conditioning
Auxiliary heating and venti-
lation*
Introduction
With the auxiliary heating and ventilation, it is
possible to heat the vehicle interior in winter
and ventilate it in summer. It can also be used
›››
page 155,
to demist the windscreen and remove ice or
even a thin layer of snow. The auxiliary heat-
ing is powered by fuel from the vehicle's tank
and can even continue to operate when the
ignition is switched off. The auxiliary ventila-
tion is powered by the 12-volt vehicle battery.
The auxiliary heating can be controlled by
the SEAT CONNECT mobile app or through
the MySEAT website.
The auxiliary heater can be switched on using
the fast heating button of the air conditioning
controls, with the remote control or by previ-
ously programming a departure time in the
auxiliary heater menu of the infotainment sys-
tem.
If the outside temperature is very high, the ve-
hicle interior can be ventilated with the en-
gine off using the auxiliary heater.
Auxiliary heating exhaust system
The exhaust gases generated by the auxiliary
heater are removed via an exhaust pipe fitted
underneath the vehicle. This exhaust pipe
must not be blocked by snow, mud or any-
thing else.
WARNING
The auxiliary heater exhaust fumes contain
carbon monoxide, an odourless and colour-
less toxic gas. Carbon monoxide can cause
people to lose consciousness. It can also
cause death.
Never switch on the auxiliary heater or
●
leave it running in enclosed spaces or
areas with no ventilation.
Never programme the auxiliary heater so
●
that it switches itself on and is running in an
enclosed space or an area with no ventila-
tion.
WARNING
The components of the auxiliary heater are
extremely hot and could cause a fire.
Always park your vehicle so that no part
●
of the exhaust system can come in contact
with easily flammable materials that might
be below the vehicle, such as dried grass.
CAUTION
Never place food, medicines or other tem-
perature-sensitive objects close to the air
vents. Food, medicines and other objects
sensitive to heat or cold may be damaged
or made unsuitable for use by the air com-
ing from the vents.
