Checking and refilling levels
Get information from a specialist workshop
about which coolant is suitable for your vehicle.
SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT dealership
for this.
WARNING
WARNING
Engine coolant is toxic!
If the vehicle’s cooling system does not have
sucient antifreeze protection, the engine
could fail and this could result in serious in-
jury.
●
Only store coolant in its original container,
tightly closed and in a safe place.
To protect the engine cooling system, the ad-
ditive percentage should always be at least
40%. If more antifreeze protection is required
for climatic reasons, the additive proportion
can be increased. However, it should only be
increased up to a maximum of 55 %, otherwise
the antifreeze protection would be reduced and
the cooling eect would be impaired.
●
Never store motor coolant in empty food

Ensure that the coolant fluid additive per-

Always keep motor coolant out of reach of
children.

The G12evo (TL-VW 774 L) can be recognised
by its lilac colouring. This mixture of water
and additive not only provides antifreeze pro-
tection down to -25°C (-13°F), but also pro-
tects the light alloy parts of the cooling system
against corrosion, prevents limescale build-up
and considerably raises the boiling point of the
coolant.

When the outside temperature is very low,
the coolant could freeze and the vehicle
could be immobilised. In this case, the heat-
ing would not work either and inadequately
dressed passengers could die of cold.
NOTICE
Never mix the original additives for the
G12evo coolant (TL-VW 774 L) with motor
coolant fluid not authorised by SEAT.
When topping up the coolant, a mixture of dis-
tilled water and at least 40% of the appropri-
ate coolant additive should be used for opti-
mum corrosion protection ››› page 271.

If the fluid in the expansion tank does not

have a pink colour (resulting from mixing the
lilac additive with distilled water), but is, for
example, brown, the suitable coolant may
have been mixed with another unsuitable
one. The coolant must be changed as soon
as possible if this is the case! Otherwise se-
rious malfunctions or damage to the engine
and the cooling system could occur!
Coolants and additives can contaminate the
environment. If any operating fluid leaks out,
collect it and dispose of it properly and in an
environmentally friendly manner.
Coolant specifications
The factory fitted motor cooling system is filled
with a mixture of specially treated water and at
least 40% coolant additive G12evo (TL-VW 774
L).
