The warning and control lights can be lit individually or in combination and serve as a warning, to indicate the presence of an anomaly or to warn of the activation of certain functions. Some turn on when the ignition is switched on and have to be switched off after a certain period of time.
Depending on the model, additional text messages may be viewed on the instrument panel display. These may be purely informative or they may be advising of the need for action.
Depending upon the equipment fitted in the vehicle, instead of a warning lamp, sometimes a symbol may be displayed on the instrument panel.
WARNING
If the warning lamps and messages are ignored, faults may occur in the vehicle, it may stall in traffic, or accidents and serious injuries may occur.
Never ignore warning lamps or text messages.
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.

Revolution counter
The rev counter indicates the number of engine revolutions per minute.
Together with the gear-change indicator, the rev counter offers you the possibility of using the engine of your vehicle at a suitable speed.
The beginning of the red zone of the rev counter indicates the maximum speed in any gear after running-in and with the engine hot. However, it is advisable to move the selector lever to D or lift your foot off the accelerator before the
needle reaches the red zone >>> .
We recommend that you avoid high revs and that you follow the recommendations on the gear-change indicator. See the additional infor-
mation in >>> page 148, Selecting the optimal
gear.

NOTICE To prevent damage to the engine, the rev counter needle should only remain in the red zone for a short period of time. When the engine is cold, avoid high revs and heavy acceleration and do not make the engine work hard.
For the sake of the environment Changing up a gear early will help you to save fuel and minimise emissions and engine noise.

WARNING
When driving with low fuel, the vehicle may stall in traffic and cause accidents and severe injuries. If the fuel tank level is too low, fuel could reach the engine irregularly, particularly when driving up or down slopes. The steering system and the assistant systems and brakes do not work when the engine is running irregularly or switches off due to lack of fuel or an irregular supply thereof. SEAT recommends always refuelling when the tank is approximately one quarter full, to prevent the vehicle from stopping due to a lack of fuel.
NOTICE
Never run the fuel tank completely dry. An irregular fuel supply can cause misfiring and unburnt fuel could enter the exhaust system. The catalytic converter or the particulate filter may get damaged!
Note
The small arrow on the fuel gauge next to the fuel pump symbol points out towards the side of the vehicle with the fuel tank flap.

Battery level indicator
Valid for: hybrid vehicles
Fig. 8 Instrument cluster: battery level indicator. The small arrow next to the battery symbol on the fuel gauge indicates which side of the vehicle the charging cover is on.
NOTICE Never drive with the tank completely empty. Under certain circumstances, the energy stored in the high-voltage battery may not be sufficient to reach the nearest service station. When the outside temperature is very low, and therefore the high-voltage battery is very cold, difficulties may arise in starting the internal combustion engine and the range in the electric driving mode may be reduced.

NOTICE
To ensure a long useful life for the engine, avoid high revs, driving at high speed and making the engine work hard for approximately the first 15 minutes when the engine is cold. The phase until the engine is warm also depends on the outside temperature. If necessary, use the engine oil temperature as
a guide >>> page 23.
Additional lights and other accessories in front of the air inlet reduce the cooling effect of the coolant. At high outside temperatures and high engine loads, there is a risk of the engine overheating.
The front spoiler also ensures proper distribution of the cooling air when the vehicle is moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can reduce the cooling effect, which could cause the engine to overheat. Seek specialist assistance.

WARNING
Even when the outside temperature is higher than freezing temperature, some roads and bridges could be frozen.
The “ice crystal symbol” indicates that there may be a risk of freezing. At outside temperatures above +4 °C (+39 °F), there may be ice even when the “ice crystal symbol” is not on. The outside temperature sensor takes a guideline measurement.
Note
There are different instrument panels and therefore the versions and instructions on the display may vary. In the case of displays without warning or information texts, faults are indicated exclusively by the control warning lamps. Some settings can be saved in the user accounts of the personalization function and can therefore be changed automatically
when switching user accounts >>> page 244.

Some indications on the instrument panel screen may be concealed by a sudden event, e.g. an incoming call.
Depending on the equipment, some settings and instructions can be carried out or displayed on the infotainment system as well.
If there are several warnings at the same time, the symbols will be displayed one after the other for a few seconds. The symbols will stay on until you remove the cause.
If when switching on the ignition warnings are shown about existing faults, it might not be possible to change the settings or show the information as described. In this case, go to a specialised workshop and request a repair.

Oil temperature display
The engine reaches its operating temperature when, under normal driving conditions, the oil temperature is between 80°C (176°F) and 120°C (248°F). If a great effort is required from the engine and the outside temperature is high, the engine oil temperature may increase. This does not present any problem as long as the
warning lamps or >>> page 343 do not
appear on the display.
Warning and information messages
The system runs a check on certain components and functions when the ignition is switched on and while the vehicle is moving. Faults are displayed on the instrument cluster display as red and yellow warning symbols

Priority 2 warning (in yellow) The symbol lights up or flashes (in part accompanied by audible warnings). Operating faults or the lack of operating fluids can cause damage to the vehicle or a fault. Check the faulty function as soon as possible. If necessary, seek professional assistance.

Driver alert system (break recommendation)
Fig. 12 On the screen of the instrument panel: fatigue detection. The driver alert system informs the driver when it deduces tiredness due to his/her behaviour at the wheel.
Function and operation Fatigue detection determines the driving behaviour of the driver when starting a journey, making a calculation of tiredness. This is constantly compared with the current driving behaviour. If the system detects that the driver is tired, an audible warning is given with a sound and an optical warning is shown with a symbol and supplementary message on the instru-
ment cluster screen >>> Fig. 12. The message
on the instrument panel display is shown for

Driver information

approximately 5 seconds, and depending on the case, is repeated. The system stores the last message displayed.
The warning on the instrument cluster display can be hidden as follows:
Press the button on the multifunction steering wheel.
The message can be recovered on the instrument cluster display using the multifunction dis-
play >>> page 23.
Conditions of operation
Driving behaviour is only calculated on speeds above about 65 km/h (40 mph) up to around 200 km/h (125 mph).
Activating and deactivating
Fatigue detection can be activated or deactivated in the infotainment system using the function button Driver assistance > Fatigue detector.
The driver alert system is always switched on
when the ignition is switched on >>> page 37.
System limitations
The Fatigue detection has certain limitations inherent to the system. The following conditions can limit the Fatigue detection or prevent it from functioning.
At speeds below 60 km/h (40 mph). At speeds above 200 km/h (125 mph)

When cornering
In sections with roadworks.
On roads in poor condition
In unfavourable weather conditions
When a sporty driving style is employed
In the event of a serious distraction to the driver
Fatigue detection will be restored when the vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes, when the ignition is switched off or when the driver has unbuckled their seat belt and opened the door.
In the event of slow driving during a long period of time (below 60 km/h, 40 mph) the system automatically re-establishes the tiredness calculation. When driving at a faster speed the driving behaviour will be recalculated.
WARNING
The smart technology of the driver alert system cannot overcome the limits imposed by the laws of physics and only works within the limits of the system. Do not let the comfort afforded by the Fatigue detection system tempt you into taking any risks when driving. Take regular breaks, sufficient in length when making long journeys.
The driver always assumes the responsibility of driving to their full capacity.
Never drive if you are tired.

The system does not detect the tiredness of the driver in all circumstances. Consult the
information in the section >>> page 26, Con-
ditions of operation. In some situations, the system may incorrectly interpret an intended driving manoeuvre as driver tiredness.
No warning is given in the event of the effect called microsleep!
Please observe the indications on the instrument panel and act as is necessary.
Note
Fatigue detection has been developed for driving on motorways and well paved roads only.
If there is a fault in the system, have it checked by a specialised workshop.

Road signs detection system
Fig. 13 On the instrument panel display: examples of speed limits or overtaking prohibitions with their respective additional signs. The dynamic road signs display records standard road signs using a camera fitted to the base of the interior mirror, and provides information about speed limits, overtaking prohibitions and warning signs that it recognises.

Within its limitations, the system also displays a additional sign to indicate aspects such as temporary prohibitions. Even on routes without signs, the system can, if necessary, display the applicable speed limits.
The dynamic road sign display system is activated whenever the ignition is switched on.
The traffic sign detection system does not work in all countries. Keep this in mind when travelling abroad.
Shown on the display
In Germany, on motorways and vehicle roads, besides speed limits and overtaking provisions the system also displays the end of prohibition signs. The valid speed limit at the time in other countries is always shown.
The road signs detected by the system are displayed on the instrument cluster display

Display of traffic signs
After checking and evaluating the information from the camera, the navigation system and the current vehicle data, the system displays up
to three current road signs >>> Fig. 13 with
their additional signs.
First: The sign that is currently valid for the driver is shown in the left side of the screen For example, a maximum speed limit of 130 km/h
(100 mph) >>> Fig. 13 .
Second: A sign valid only in certain circumstances, e.g. 100 km/h (60 mph) is shown second, together with the additional rain sign.
Additional sign: Displays the circumstances (rain, times of day, fog, etc.) under which the displayed speed limit is in force.
Third: Thirdly, a sign prohibiting overtaking is partially displayed. If there is no conditional speed limit and overtaking is prohibited, the latter sign will be displayed in second place

The speed warning can be set or deactivated completely in the menu Driver
assistance > Road sign detection

Limited operation
The traffic sign detection system has certain limitations. The following cases may lead the system to operate with limitations or not at all:
In the case of poor visibility, e.g. in snow, rain, fog or intense mist.
In cases of dazzling, e.g. caused by head-on traffic or by the sun.
When driving at high speeds.
If the camera is covered or dirty.
If the traffic signs are partially or totally obstructed, e.g. by trees, snow, dirt or other vehicles.
In the case of traffic signs that do not fulfil the regulations.
In the case of damaged or bent traffic signs.
In the case of variable messages on overhead or gantry signs (LED-based variable traffic signs or other lighting units).
If the maps on the navigation system are not up-to-date.
In the case of adhesives affixed to vehicles that depict traffic signs, e.g. speed limits on lorries.

WARNING
The technology in the traffic sign detection system cannot change the limits imposed by the laws of physics and only works within the system’s limits. Do not let the extra convenience afforded by the traffic sign detection system tempt you into taking any risks when driving. The system is not a replacement for driver awareness.
Adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
Poor visibility, darkness, snow, rain and fog may lead to the system failing to display traffic signs or not displaying them correctly.
If the camera’s field of vision is dirty, covered or damaged, system operation may be impaired.
WARNING
The driving recommendations and traffic indications shown on the traffic sign detection system may differ from the actual current traffic situation.
The system may not detect or correctly show all the traffic signs.
Traffic signs and traffic regulations have priority over the recommendations and displays provided by the system.

DInrsivterurminefonrtmpatnioenl
Note
To avoid affecting the correct operation of the system, take the following points into consideration:
Regularly clean the area of vision of the camera and keep it in a clean state, without snow or ice.
Do not cover the field of vision of the camera.
Always replace damaged or worn blades when required to avoid lines on the camera’s field of vision.
Check that the windscreen is not damaged in the area of the camera’s field of vision.
The use of outdated maps on the navigation system may cause the system to show traffic signs incorrectly.
In the waypoints mode of the navigation system, the traffic sign detection system is only partly available.

Eco-efficient driving assistance
Fig. 14 Eco-efficient driving assistance indication (schematic representation).
Eco-efficient driving assistance helps you drive with care and with low energy consumption by following instructions superimposed in the digital cockpit, depending on the situation. When you approach places such as a junction, a roundabout or a section of road with a speed limit, the symbol is displayed along with an
event in the digital cockpit >>> Fig. 14.
As soon as you follow the indication and take your foot off the accelerator, the vehicle adapts, based on the selected driving profile and distance to the incident, brake energy recuperation and speed. Eco-efficient driving assistance uses the trip data from the infotainment system and the sensors of some assist systems. If no destination guidance is active, the most likely route is used.

Driver information

Pressing the accelerator can cancel the intervention of the assistance at any time.
Eco-efficient driving assistance can be switched on and off in the infotainment system,
in the assistance system settings >>> page 37.
Eco-efficient driving assistance is temporarily switched off if:
The gear selector is in the S position. The Sport driving program is used. Driving with adaptive cruise control (ACC) or cruise control (GRA).
When these conditions no longer exist, the assistance is reactivated if it is switched on in the assist system settings.
Eco-efficient driving assistance is available depending on the equipment, although not in all countries.
WARNING
The system is not a replacement for driver awareness.
Adapt your speed and driving style at all times to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
Traffic signs on the road and traffic regulations have priority over eco- driving notes.

Note
The appearance of the symbols may vary slightly depending on the equipment and model. System updates may modify or expand the symbols. When the system is switched on, eco-efficient driving assistance can also increase recuperation without any indication being displayed. This can occur in situations such as when the accelerator pedal is released when a vehicle is driving in front. In this case, energy recuperation is adapted match the speed of the vehicle in front without any indication being displayed.

DInrsivterurminefonrtmpatnioenl

In vehicles with Services established by time or mileage, the service intervals are already pre-defined.
In vehicles with LongLife Service, the intervals are determined individually. Thanks to technological progress, maintenance work has been greatly reduced. The oil only needs to be changed when the vehicle requires it. To calculate this variation (max. 2 years), the vehicle’s conditions of use and individual driving styles are considered. The advance warning first appears 20 days before the date established for the corresponding service. The kilometres (miles) remaining until the next service are always rounded up to the nearest 100 km (miles) and the time is given in complete days. The current service message cannot be viewed until 500 km after the last service. Prior to this, only lines are visible on the display.
Inspection reminder
If a service or an inspection has to be carried out soon, a service reminder will be displayed when the ignition is switched on.
The figure displayed are the kilometres that can still be travelled or the time until the next service.
Service due
When it is time for a service or an inspection, an audio warning will sound when the ignition is switched on, and a spanner symbol may ap-

pear for a few seconds on the instrument cluster display , along with one of the following messages.

through the Service >>> page 30 menu.

Do not restart the indicator between the service intervals, otherwise the information displayed will be incorrect.
If the oil change service is reset manually, the service interval display changes to a fixed service interval, also in vehicles with Flexible oil change service.
Note
The service message disappears after a few seconds, when the engine is started or when the button is pressed on the multifunction steering wheel.
In vehicles with the LongLife system in which the battery has been disconnected for a long period of time, it is not possible to calculate the date of the next service. Therefore the service interval display may not be correct. In this case, bear in mind the maximum
service intervals permitted >>> page 367.
If you reset the display manually, the next service interval will be indicated as in vehicles with fixed service intervals. For this reason we recommend that the service interval display be reset by an authorised dealer.

Safety
Safe driving
Safety first!
WARNING
This manual contains important information about the operation of the vehicle, both for the driver and the passengers. The other sections of the on-board documentation also contain further information that you should be aware of for your own safety and for the safety of your passengers. Ensure that the on- board documentation is kept in the vehicle at all times. This is especially important when lending or selling the vehicle to another person.
Before driving
For your own safety and the safety of your passengers, always note the following points before every trip: Make sure that the vehicle’s lights and turn signals are working properly. Check tyre pressure. Ensure that all windows provide a clear and good view of the surroundings.

Safety

Make sure all luggage is secured

Always reduce your speed as appropriate for road, traffic and weather conditions. When travelling long distances, take breaks regularly – at least every two hours. If possible, avoid driving when you are tired or stressed.
WARNING
Driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medication or narcotics may result in severe accidents and even loss of life.
Alcohol, drugs, medication and narcotics may significantly alter perception, affect reaction times and safety while driving, which could result in the loss of control of the vehicle.

The safety equipment mentioned above works together to provide you and your passengers with the best possible protection in the event of an accident. However, these safety systems can only be effective if you and your passengers are sitting in a correct position and use this equipment properly.

Safety is everybody’s business.
Correct sitting position of vehicle occupants
Correct position on the seat
Fig. 20 The correct distance between the driver and the steering wheel must be at least 25 cm (10 inches). The correct sitting positions for the driver and passengers are shown below. If your physical constitution prevents you from maintaining the correct sitting position, contact a specialised workshop for help with any special devices. The seat belt and airbag can only provide optimum protection if a correct sitting position is adopted. SEAT recommends taking your car in for technical service.

For your own safety and to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident or sudden braking or manoeuvre, SEAT recommend the following positions:
Valid for all vehicle occupants:
Adjust the headrest so that its upper edge is at the same level as the top of your head, or as close as possible to the same level as the top of your head and under no circumstances below eye level . Keep the back of your neck as close as possible to the headrest.
Short people must fully lower the headrest completely, even if your head is below its upper edge.
Tall people must fully raise the headrest.
Always keep your feet in the footwell while the vehicle is in motion.
Adjust and fasten your seat belt correctly

Safety

Adjust the steering wheel so that it is at a distance of at least 25 cm (10 inches) from the
sternum >>> Fig. 20 and can hold it with both
hands on the sides, on the outside, with the arms slightly flexed.
The steering wheel must always point towards the chest and never towards the face.
Adjust the seat lengthwise so that you can fully step on the pedals with your knees slightly bent and there is a distance between the knee area and the instrument panel of at least 10 cm (4 inches).
Adjust the height of the seat so that you can reach the top of the steering wheel.
Always keep both feet in the footwell so that you have the vehicle under control at all times.
For the passenger, the following applies:
Given that the vehicle is equipped with adjustable headrests, move the headrest as close as possible to the rear of the head.
Move the seat backrest to an almost upright position so that your back rests completely against it.
Move the seat as far back as possible (minimum 25 cm between the chest and the instrument panel check translation). If you are sitting closer than 25 cm, the airbag system cannot protect you properly.

Number of seats

The vehicle has 5 or 7 seats, depending on the features. All seats are equipped with a safety belt.
Check the official documentation for the number of occupants approved for your vehicle.
No one taller than 1.60 m should sit on the third row of seats.

WARNING
Sitting in an incorrect position may increase the risk of severe or lethal injuries in the event of sudden braking or manoeuvring, in case of collision or accident and if the airbags deploy.
Before starting the car, all passengers must be sitting in a correct position and stay like that for the entire journey. This also applies to a correct use of the seat belt.
The maximum amount of people in the vehicle is the same as the amount of seats with seat belts.

For children, always use a protection system that is approved and suited for their
weight and height >>> page 55.
While driving, always keep your feet in the footwell. Never place them over the seat or the dash panel, for example, or outside the window. Otherwise the airbag and seat belt may offer insufficient protection and also increase the risk of injury in the event of an accident.
WARNING
If people taller than 1.60 m travel in the third row of seats, they may receive severe head injuries in the event of an accident.
Never transport anyone taller than 1.60 m on the third row of seats.
When closing the rear lid, always be mindful of the passengers of the rearmost seats.
Risks of sitting in an incorrect position
If seat belts are worn incorrectly or not at all, the risk of severe or lethal injuries increases. Seat belts can provide optimal protection only if the belt web is properly worn. Incorrect sitting positions substantially reduce the protective function of seat belts and, therefore, increase the risk of severe or even lethal injuries. The risk of severe or fatal injuries is especially heightened when a deploying airbag strikes a vehicle

SeSaatfbeteylts

occupant who has assumed an incorrect sitting position. The driver is responsible for all people, particularly children, inside the vehicle.
The following list contains examples of incorrect sitting positions that could be dangerous for all vehicle occupants.
When the vehicle is in motion:
Never stand in the vehicle. Never stand on the seats. Never kneel on the seats. Never tilt your seat backrest too far to the rear. Never lean against the instrument panel. Never lie on the rear seats. Never sit on the front edge of a seat. Never sit sideways. Never lean out of a window. Never put your feet out of a window. Never put your feet on the instrument panel. Never place your feet on the bench or on the backrest of the seat. Never travel in a footwell. Never sit on the armrests. Never travel without wearing the seat belt. Never travel in the luggage compartment.

WARNING Sitting in an incorrect position increases the risk of severe or fatal injuries in the event of accidents and sudden braking or manoeuvres. All occupants must sit correctly during the journey and wear the seat belt correctly. Occupants of the vehicle that are not sitting correctly, not wearing the seat belt or are not at a proper distance of the airbag risk suffering very serious or lethal injuries, especially if the airbags deploy and strike them.
Seat belts
Introduction
Fig. 21 Drivers with properly worn seat belts will not be thrown forward in the event of sudden braking.

Properly worn seat belts hold the occupants in the proper position. They also help prevent uncontrolled movements that may result in serious injury and reduce the risk of being thrown out of the vehicle in case of an accident.
Vehicle occupants wearing their seat belts correctly benefit greatly from the ability of the belts to absorb kinetic energy. In addition, the front part of your vehicle and other passive safety features (such as the airbag system) are designed to absorb the kinetic energy released in a collision. Taken together, all these features reduce the releasing kinetic energy and consequently, the risk of injury. This is why it is so important to fasten seat belts before every trip, even when “just driving around the corner”.
Ensure that your passengers wear their seat belts as well. Accident statistics have shown that wearing seat belts is an effective means of substantially reducing the risk of injury and improving the chances of survival when involved in a serious accident. Furthermore, properly worn seat belts improve the protection provided by airbags in the event of an accident. For this reason, wearing a seat belt is required by law in most countries.
Although your vehicle is equipped with airbags, the seat belts must be fastened and worn. The front airbags, for example, are only triggered in some cases of head-on collision. The front airbags will not be triggered during minor frontal or side collisions, rear-end collisions, overturns or accidents in which the airbag trigger threshold value in the control unit is not exceeded.

Safety

Important safety instructions for the use of seat belts
Always wear the seat belt as described in this section.
Ensure that the seat belts can be fastened at all times and are not damaged.
WARNING
If seat belts are worn incorrectly or not at all, the risk of severe injuries increases. The optimal protection from seat belts can be achieved only if you use them properly.
Never allow two passengers (even children) to share the same seat belt.
Never unbuckle a seat belt while the vehicle is in motion. Risk of fatal injury.
The seat belt should never lie on hard or fragile objects (such as glasses or pens, etc.) because this can cause injuries.
Do not allow the seat belt to be damaged or jammed, or to rub on any sharp edges.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm or in any other incorrect position.
Bulky and unfastened clothing (such as an overcoat over a sweater) impairs the proper fit and function of the seat belts, reducing their capacity to protect.
The slot in the seat belt buckle must not be blocked with paper or other objects, as this can prevent the latch plate from engaging securely.

Never use seat belt clips, fastening rings or similar items to alter the position of the belt webbing.
Frayed or torn seat belts or damage to the connections, belt retractors or parts of the buckle could cause severe injuries in the event of an accident. Therefore, you must check the condition of all seat belts at regular intervals.
Seat belts which have been worn in an accident and have been stretched must be replaced by a specialised workshop. Renewal may be necessary even if there is no apparent damage. The belt anchorage should also be checked.
Do not attempt to repair a damaged seat belt yourself. The seat belts must not be removed or modified in any way.
The belts must be kept clean, otherwise the retractors may not work properly.
Seat belt buckled indication
It lights up red The driver or passenger has not fastened the seat belt.
The control lamp lights up to remind the driver to fasten their seat belt.
Before starting the vehicle:

Fasten your seat belt securely. Instruct your passengers to fasten their seat belts properly before driving off. Protect children by using a child seat according to the child’s height and weight

Depending on the version of the model, when the ignition is switched on, the status display of
the belts >>> Fig. 22 informs the driver on the in-
strument panel display whether the occupants of the rear seats have their seat belts fastened.
Depending on the seat occupancy and the status of the seat belts, the following symbols light up in different colours:
The white symbol indicates that the corresponding seat is empty.
A green symbol indicates that the seat is occupied and the occupant is wearing the seat belt.
A red symbol indicates that the seat is occupied and the occupant is not wearing the seat belt.
If a rear seat occupant unfastens his/her seat belt while driving, the symbol lights up permanently in red for that seat. In addition, the red warning light flashes on the instrument cluster screen. If you drive faster than approx. 25 km/h (15 mph), an audio signal sounds for a few seconds.
If a seat belt is fastened or unfastened while driving in some of the rear seats, the seat belt status is displayed for approximately 30 seconds.

SeSaatfbeteylts Head-on collisions and the laws of physics
Fig. 23 A driver not wearing a seat belt may be thrown forward violently.
Fig. 24 Any rear seat occupants not wearing a seat belt may be thrown forward violently, hitting the driver who is wearing the seat belt.

The effects of the laws of physics in the case of a head-on collision are easy to explain: the moment a vehicle starts moving, a type of energy called “kinetic energy” starts acting on both the vehicle and its passengers.
The amount of “kinetic energy” depends on the speed of the vehicle and on the weight of the vehicle and of its passengers. The higher they are, the more energy there is to be “absorbed” in the event of an accident.
The most significant factor, however, is the speed of the vehicle. If the speed doubles from 25 km/h (15 mph) to 50 km/h (30 mph), for example, the corresponding kinetic energy is multiplied by four.
Given that the passengers of the vehicle in our example do not have their seat belts fastened, in the event of a collision the entire amount of the passengers’ kinetic energy will be only absorbed by the mentioned impact.
Even at speeds of 30 km/h (19 mph) to 50 km/h (30 mph), the forces acting on bodies in a collision can easily exceed one tonne (1000 kg). At greater speed these forces are even higher.
Vehicle occupants not wearing seat belts are not “attached” to the vehicle. In a head-on collision, they will move forward at the same speed their vehicle was travelling just before the impact. This example applies not only to head- on collisions, but to all accidents and collisions.
Even at low speeds the forces acting on the body in a collision are so great that it is not possible to brace oneself with one’s hands. In the
43

Safety

event of a head-on collision, vehicle occupants not wearing a seat belt will be thrown uncontrollably forward and will collide, for example, against the steering wheel, instrument panel or
windscreen >>> Fig. 23.
It is also important for rear passengers to wear seat belts properly, as they could otherwise be thrown forward violently through the vehicle interior in an accident. If a rear seat occupant is not wearing a seat belt, they are not only endangering themselves but also the occupants
of the front seats >>> Fig. 24.
Fastening and unfastening the seat belt
Fig. 25 Insert the latch plate of the seat belt into the buckle.

Fig. 26 Release the seat belt’s latch plate.
Properly worn seat belts hold the vehicle occupants in the position that most protects them in the event of an accident or sudden braking

Releasing the seat belt
Only unfasten the seat belt when the vehicle
has come to a standstill >>> . Press the red button on the buckle >>> Fig. 26.
The latch plate is released from the buckle. Guide the belt back by hand so that it rolls up easily and the trim will not be damaged.
WARNING
The seat belt cannot offer its full protection unless the seat backrest is in an upright position and the seat belt is worn correctly, according to your size.
Unbuckling your seat belt while the vehicle is in motion can cause severe or fatal injuries in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
The seat belt itself, or a loose seat belt, can cause severe injuries if the belt moves from hard areas of the body to soft areas (e.g. the stomach).

In the case of pregnant women, the seat belt should pass uniformly over the chest and as low as possible through the pelvic area with the strap flat so it does not press down on the abdomen; in addition, it must be used throughout
the entire pregnancy >>> Fig. 28.

braking, when driving in the mountains, around bends and when accelerating, the retractor locks the seat belt if it extends rapidly.
In critical driving situations, e.g. in the event of emergency braking or in the case of oversteer and understeer, the proactive occupant protection can tension the front seat belts automatically if they are worn1). The two belts are loosened again if an accident does not happen or when the critical situation passes. Proactive occupant protection is ready to operate again

PreCrSaasfhetsyystem

Reversible belt tensioning (proactive occupant protection)
A reversible tensioning of the seat belts may
occur in certain driving situations >>> page 47.
For example: in the event of sudden brakes in the event of oversteering or understeering in the event of minor collisions
Belt force limiter
Depending on the equipment and the country in question, in the event of an accident, the seat belt force limiter reduces the force the seat belt exerts on the body.
Note
After certain driving situations, the reversible belt tensioners may be left permanently tensioned1). In this case, to loosen the belt, it must be removed manually while the vehicle is stationary and then replaced correctly. The relevant safety requirements must be observed if the vehicle or any components of the system are to be scrapped. Specialised workshops are aware of these requirements.

Maintenance and disposal of seat belt tensioners
The belt tensioners are components of the seat belts that are installed in the seats of your vehicle. If you work on the belt tensioners or remove and install parts of the system when performing other repair work, the seat belt may be damaged. The consequence may be that, in the event of an accident, the belt tensioners function incorrectly or may not function at all.
So that the effectiveness of the seat belt tensioner is not reduced and that removed parts do not cause any injuries or environmental pollution, regulations, which are known to the specialised workshops, must be observed.
WARNING
Improper handling and home repairs to seat belts, automatic retractors and belt tensioners may increase the risk of serious or fatal injuries. The tensioners may not activate, even though they should, or they may activate unexpectedly.
Never repair, adjust, or disassemble and reassemble seat belt components or tensioners. Always have this work carried out by a specialist workshop.
Seat belts, tensioners and their automatic retractors cannot be repaired and have to be replaced.

For the sake of the environment
Airbag modules and belt tensioners may contain perchlorate.
Observe the legal requirements for their disposal.
PreCrash system
How it works
The PreCrash system is an assistance system that actives a series of measures to protect the occupants of the vehicles in potentially risky situations, but which cannot prevent a collision. It only works completely if no special driving profile is selected and if there are no operating anomalies.
Basic features
Depending on the legal provisions of the country and the features of the vehicle, in critical situations (e.g. in certain cases of emergency braking or loss of control of the vehicle by the driver) the following functions can be activated separately or at the same time when the vehicle is travelling faster than approximately 30 km/h (20 mph). Reversible tensioning of front seat belts that are fastened. Operation of the hazard warning lights.

Only if fitted with the PreCrash System.

Safety

Automatic closing of the windows until they are just cracked open and, depending on the equipment, of the sunroof.
In the event of overturning, depending on the equipment, activation of the belt tensioners.
Depending on how critical the driving situation is, the belts are either tightened individually, or both belts at the same time.
In addition to Front Assist
In vehicles with Front Assist >>> page 196, within
the limits of the system, information is assessed on the risk of collision with the vehicle in front. The functions of the PreCrash system may also be activated if there is a high likelihood of a rear-end collision, or during the activation of Front Assist.
In addition to Side Assist
In vehicles with lane assist >>> page 205, within
the limitations of each system, information is assessed on the risk of collision with traffic to the rear of the vehicle. If a rear-end collision is highly likely, the functions of the PreCrash system may also be activated. In this situation, the hazard warning lights are turned on with a higher frequency of flashes.

In addition to the Emergency Assist system
In vehicles with emergency assist, driver status information is assessed within the limitations of this system. The following PreCrash systems may be activated if a lack of activity is detected:
Reversible seat belt tensioning of the driver’s seat belt. Automatic closing of the windows until they are just cracked open and, depending on the equipment, of the sunroof.
Activation of the PreCrash system
The PreCrash system can be partially deactivated by deactivating the traction and/or stability control, depending on the equipment. When these vehicle safety controls are switched on (by default, every time the ignition is turned on), the system is fully activated.
Driving profile selection settings
In vehicles with driving profile selection, PreCrash adapts to suit the special vehicle configuration of the corresponding profile

When the TCS and/or ESC is off. When driving in reverse. When the airbag control unit is not operating properly. When there is a fault in the system itself, in the ESC or in the Front Assist.
Troubleshooting
If the PreCrash is not working correctly, the message System unavailable or System with limited functions is shown permanently on the instrument cluster screen. Get the system checked by a SEAT Official Service.
WARNING
The PreCrash system cannot overcome the limits imposed by the laws of physics; it only works within the limits of the system. Risks that compromise safety are never justified by the use of this system. The system is not a replacement for driver awareness and cannot prevent a collision.
Adapt your speed and safe distance to the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
The system is not always able to recognise objects.
The system may not react to people or animals or objects that cross length- wise or that are hard to detect.

AirbSaagfseytystem

Metallic objects (e.g. fences) or other elements of the public road or adverse weather conditions can hinder its operation and thus its ability to detect collision risk. Never ignore the warning lamps that light up or the messages shown on the dashboard.
WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to an accident and cause injuries.
Never change settings on the Infotainment System while driving.
Airbag system
Why is it so important to wear a seat belt and to sit correctly?
For the inflating airbags to achieve the best protection, the seat belt must always be worn properly and the correct sitting position must be assumed. The airbag system is not a substitute for seat belts, but it is an integral part of the vehicle’s overall passive safety system. Please bear in mind that the airbag system can only work effectively when the vehicle occupants are wearing their seat belts correctly and have adjusted the head restraints properly. Therefore, it is most important to properly wear the seat belts

at all times, not only because this is required by law in most countries, but also for your safety

in an accident, no matter how serious, is not a determining factor for the airbags to have been activated.
WARNING
Wearing the seat belt incorrectly or assuming an incorrect sitting position can lead to critical or fatal injuries
All vehicle occupants, including children, who are not properly belted can sustain critical or fatal injuries if the airbag is triggered. Children up to 12 years old should always travel on the rear seat. Never transport children in the vehicle if they are not restrained or the restraint system is not appropriate for their age, size or weight. To reduce the risk of injury from an inflating airbag, always wear the seat belt properly

The airbag system operation is monitored electronically. The airbag control lamp will illuminate for a few seconds every time the ignition is switched on (self-diagnosis).
There is a fault in the system if the control lamp :
does not light up when the ignition is switched
on >>> page 51,
turns off after 4 seconds after the ignition is switched on, turns off and then lights up again after the ignition is switched on, illuminates or flashes while the vehicle is moving.
The airbag system is not triggered if:
the ignition is switched off there is a minor frontal collision there is a minor side collision there is a rear-end collision

in the event of the vehicle overturning if the dynamic characteristics measured by the control unit are too low, the impact speed is lower than the reference value programmed in the control unit.
WARNING
The seat belts and airbags can only provide maximum protection if the occupants
are seated correctly >>> page 39.
If a fault has occurred in the airbag system, have the system checked immediately by a specialised workshop. Otherwise there is a danger that during a collision, the system may fail to trigger, or not trigger correctly.
Airbag activation
The airbags deploy extremely rapidly, within thousands of a second, to provide additional protection in the event of an accident. A fine dust may develop when the airbag deploys. This is normal and it is not an indication of fire in the vehicle.
The airbag system is only ready to function when the ignition is on.
In special accidents instances, several airbags may activate at the same time.
In the event of minor head-on and side collisions, rear-end collisions, overturning or rollover of the vehicle, airbags do not activate.

Airbags only activate if the vehicle overturns in the hybrid plug-in version of the vehicle.
Activation factors
The conditions that lead to the airbag system activating in each situation cannot be generalised. Some factors play an important role, such as the properties of the object the vehicle hits (hard/soft), angle of impact, vehicle speed, etc. Deceleration trajectory is key for airbag activation. The control unit analyses the collision trajectory and activates the respective restraint system. If the deceleration rate is below the predefined reference value in the control unit the airbags will not be triggered, even though the accident may cause extensive damage to the car.
The following airbags are triggered in serious head-on collisions:
Driver airbag. Front passenger front airbag Knee airbag for the driver.
The following airbags are triggered in serious side-on collisions:
Curtain (head) airbag on the side of the accident. Front side airbag on the side of the accident.

AirbSaagfseytystem

In an accident with airbag activation:
the interior lights switch on (if the interior light switch is in the courtesy light position); the hazard warning lights switch on; all doors are unlocked; the fuel supply to the engine is cut; in hybrid vehicles, the high voltage system is switched off; an emergency call is started.

OR: Fault in the airbag system. Have the system checked immediately by a specialised workshop.
It lights up on the dash panel Front passenger front airbag activated. The control lamp turns off automatically 60 seconds after the ignition is switched on.

Several warning and control lamps light up for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on, signalling that the function is being verified. They will switch off after a few seconds.

If the airbag and seat belt tensioner system control lamp remains on or flashes, it indicates a malfunction in the airbag and seat
belt tensioner system >>> . Have the system
checked immediately by a specialised workshop.

If the front passenger airbag has been deacti-

vated, the warning lamp

remains lit in the

middle of the dash panel to remind you that

the airbag is deactivated. If, with the front pas-

senger airbag deactivated, this lamp does not

remain lit or if it is lit along with the control

lamp on the instrument panel, there is a fault

in the airbag system >>> . If the control lamp

is flashing, there is a fault in the disabling of the

airbag system >>> . Have the system checked

immediately by a specialised workshop.

WARNING
In the event of a fault in the airbag and seat belt tensioner system, the airbags and seat belts may not trigger correctly, may fail to trigger or may even trigger unexpectedly.
The vehicle occupants run the risk of sustaining severe or fatal injuries. Have the system checked immediately by a specialised workshop.

Do not mount a child seat in the front passenger seat or remove the mounted child seat! The front passenger front airbag may deploy during an accident in spite of the fault.
NOTICE Always pay attention to any lit control lamps and to the corresponding descriptions and instructions to avoid damage to the vehicle or harm to the occupants. Front airbags
Fig. 30 Driver’s airbag in the steering wheel.

Fig. 31 Front passenger airbag located in dash panel.
The driver’s front airbag is housed in the steering wheel and that of the front passenger, on the dash panel. Airbags are identified by the word “AIRBAG”.
The airbag covers open and remain attached to the steering wheel and instrument panel when the driver and front passenger air-
bags are triggered, respectively >>> Fig. 30 , >>> Fig. 31.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the front airbag system gives the front occupants additional protection for the head and chest in the
event of a severe frontal collision >>> .
In addition, in certain head-on collisions, the head airbag is triggered on both sides of the vehicle.
Their special design allows the controlled escape of the propellant gas when an occupant puts pressure on the bag. Thus, the head and

Safety chest are protected by the airbag. After the collision, the airbag deflates sufficiently to allow visibility.
WARNING The deployment space between the front passengers and the airbags must not in any case be occupied by other passenger, pets and objects. The airbags provide protection for just one accident; replace them once they have deployed. It is also important not to attach any objects such as cup holders or telephone mountings to the surfaces covering the airbag units.
Activate and deactivate front passenger front airbag

Deactivate the front passenger front airbag only if you have to use a rear- facing child seat in the front passenger seat.
SEAT recommends fitting the child seat in the rear seat to avoid having to deactivate the front passenger airbag.
When the front passenger airbag is deactivated, this means that only the front passenger front airbag is deactivated. All the other airbags in the vehicle remain activated.
Deactivate and activate the front passenger front airbag
Switch the ignition off. Open the passenger side door. Remove the key shaft from the vehicle key.

AirbSaagfseytystem

Insert the key blade into the slot provided in the front passenger airbag disconnection
switch >>> Fig. 32. About 3/4 of the key should
enter; this is as far as it will go.

Turn the key gently to change its position to (deactivate) or to (activate). If you have
difficulty, ensure that you have inserted the key as far as it will go.

Close the front passenger door.

When deactivating the airbag, switch the ignition on and check that the control lamp
remains lit >>> Fig. 33.

When reactivating the airbag, check that

when the ignition is switched on, the

con-

trol lamp does not light up and the

lamp

lights up for 60 seconds and then turns off.

WARNING
The driver of the vehicle is responsible for disabling or switching on the airbag.
Always switch off the ignition before disabling the front passenger airbag! Failure to do so could result in a fault in the airbag deactivation system.
Never leave the key in the airbag disabling switch as it could get damaged or enable or disable the airbag during driving.
If for any reason an airbag is deactivated, reactivate it as soon as possible so that it can fulfil its protective function.

Side airbags

passengers in the event of a side collision; this is how these airbags provide maximum protection.

The side airbags are located in the front seat
backrests >>> Fig. 34.
Its location is marked with the word “AIRBAG” on the upper part of the back of the seats or on the lower coverings with the word AIRBAG in relief.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the side airbag system provides additional protection for the upper body in the event of a severe side
collision >>> .1)
In a side collision, the side airbags reduce the risk of injury to passengers to the areas of the body facing the impact. In addition to their normal protection, the seat belts also hold the

WARNING
If you do not wear a seat belt, if you lean forward, or are not seated correctly while the vehicle is in motion, you are at a greater risk of injury if the side airbag system is triggered in an accident.
In order for the side airbags to provide their maximum protection, the prescribed sitting position must always be maintained with seat belts fastened while travelling.
In a side-on collision the side airbags will not work if the sensors do not correctly measure the pressure increase on the interior of the doors, due to air escaping through the areas with holes or openings in the door panel.
Never drive if the interior door panels have been removed or if the panels have not been correctly fitted.
Occupants of the outer seats must never carry any objects or pets in the deployment space between them and the airbags, or allow children or other passengers to travel in this position. It is also important not to attach any accessories (such as cup holders) to the doors. This would impair the protection offered by the side airbags.

Depending on the equipment, also in the event of a rollover. 53

The built-in coat hooks should be used only for lightweight clothing. Do not leave any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets.
Great forces, such as hard blows or kicks, must not be exerted upon the backrest bolster because the system may be damaged. In this case, the side airbags would not be triggered.
Under no circumstances should protective covers be fitted over seats with side airbags unless the covers have been approved for use in your vehicle. Because the airbag deploys from the side of the backrest, the use of conventional seat covers would obstruct the side airbag, seriously reducing the airbag’s effectiveness.
Any damage to the original seat upholstery or around the seams of the side airbag units must be repaired immediately by a specialised workshop.
The airbags provide protection for just one accident; replace them once they have deployed.
Any work on the side airbag system or removal and installation of the airbag components for other repairs (such as removal of the front seat) should only be performed by a specialised workshop. Otherwise, faults may occur during the airbag system operation.

Safety Head-protection airbags

The head-protection airbags reduce the risk of injury to passengers in the front and rear side seats facing the impact.

Fig. 35 Location and deployment area of the head-protection airbag.
Head-protection airbags are on both sides of the passenger compartment, above the doors

WARNING
In order for the head-protection airbags to provide their maximum protection, the prescribed sitting position must always be maintained with seat belts fastened while travelling.
For safety reasons, the curtain airbag must be disabled in those vehicles fitted with a screen dividing the interior of the vehicle. See your technical service to make this adjustment.
There must be no other persons, animals or objects between the occupants of the outer seats and the deployment space of the head-protection airbags so that the headprotection airbag can deploy completely without restriction and provide the greatest possible protection. Therefore, sun blinds which have not been expressly approved for use in your vehicle may not be attached to the side windows.
The built-in coat hooks should be used only for lightweight clothing. Do not leave any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets. Please, do not hang the clothes on coat hangers.
The airbags provide protection for just one accident; replace them once they have deployed.

TransportinSgacfehtiyldren safely

Any work on the head-protection airbag system or removal and installation of the airbag components for other repairs (such as removal of the roof lining) should only be performed by a specialised workshop. Otherwise, faults may occur during the airbag system operation. The side and head airbags are managed through sensors located in the interior of the front doors. To ensure the correct operation of the side and curtain airbags neither the doors nor the door panels should be modified in any way (e.g. fitting loudspeakers). If the front door is damaged, the airbag system may not work correctly. All work carried out on the front door must be done in a specialised workshop.

The framed area (deployment area) >>> Fig. 37
is covered by the knee airbag when it is deployed. Objects should never be placed or mounted in this area.
WARNING The knee airbag is deployed in front of the driver’s knees. Always keep the deployment areas of the knee airbags free. Never not fix objects to the cover or in the deployment area of the knee airbag. Adjust the driver’s seat so that there is a distance of at least 10 cm (4 inches) between your knees and the location of the this air-

bag. If your physical constitution prevents you from meeting these requirements, make sure you contact a specialised workshop.
Transporting children safely
Introduction
For safety reasons, as we have learned from accident statistics, we recommend that children under 12 years of age travel in the rear seats. Depending on their age, height and weight, children travelling in rear seats must use a child seat or a seat belt. For safety reasons, the child seat should be installed in the rear seat, behind the front passenger seat or in the centre back seat.
The laws of physics involved and the forces acting in a collision apply also to children

Safety

These systems have been especially designed and approved, complying with the ECE-R44. regulation.
SEAT recommends securing the child seats shown on the website as described below:
Child seats in the opposite direction of travel (group 0+): ISOFIX and support peg (ROMER BABY SAFE PLUS SHR II + ISOFIX BASE / PEKE G0 I-SIZE + I-SIZE BASE).
Child seats in the direction of travel (group 1): ISOFIX and Top Tether (ROMER DUO PLUS + TOP TETHER / PEKE G1 TRIFIX I-SIZE).
Forward facing child seats (group 2): safety belt and ISOFIX (ROMER BRITAX KIDFIX2 S).
Child seats directed towards the front of the vehicle (group 3): safety belt (TAKATA MAXI).
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and observe any statutory requirements when installing and using child seats. Always read and
note >>> page 57.
We recommend you always carry the manufacturer’s Child Seat Instruction Manual together with the on-board documentation.
