lead to ﬂocculation and may block the wind-

screen washer jets.

●

Check if there is enough ﬂuid in the tank.

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.

solutely certain that you ﬁll the ﬂuids into

the correct reservoirs. Using the wrong ﬂuids

could cause serious malfunctions.

●

In cold conditions, you should not use the

windscreen wiper system unless you have

warmed the windscreen with the ventilation

system. The antifreeze could freeze on the

windscreen and reduce visibility.

Recommended windscreen wipers

●

Lack of window washer ﬂuid causes the

view through the windscreen to be obscured.

●

For the hottest seasons we recommend sum-

mer G 052 184 A1 for clear glass. Proportions of

the mixture in the washer ﬂuid tank: 1:100 (1 part

concentrate per 100 parts water).

Engine oil

NOTICE

●

All year round, G 052 164 A2 for clear glass.

Never mix an unsuitable antifreeze or other

similar additives with the windscreen washer

water. A greasy layer may be formed on the

windscreen which will impair visibility.

General notes

Approximate proportion of the winter mixture,

up to -18°C (0°F): 1:2 (1 part concentrate per

2 parts water); otherwise, a 1:4 proportion of

mixture in the washer ﬂuid tank.

●

Use clean water with a window cleaner

recommended by SEAT.

The capacity of the windscreen washer tank is

approximately 3 litres.

●

If necessary, add a suitable antifreeze to

the water in the reservoir.

NOTICE

Because the use of high-quality oil is essential

for the correct operation of the engine and its

long useful life, when topping up or changing

oil, use only those oils that comply with VW

standards.

SEAT recommends the use of engine oils

approved according to the appropriate VW

standard. Use of engine oils that do not meet

these quality requirements can cause engine

damage.

●

If you have topped up more than 0.5 l of

engine oil, drive with the engine at low load

levels and within the medium RPM range as a

maximum. Do not drive at more than 80 km/h

and do not travel more than 300 km (approx-

imately). Go to a specialised workshop as

soon as possible and request an oil change.

Otherwise, there is a danger of engine dam-

age.

For vehicles with an engine oil label

SEAT recommends the use of Original SEAT

Spare Part engine oils.

If the engine oil has to be topped up, use one

of the oils shown on the label ››› Fig. 185.

Depending on how you drive and the conditions

in which the vehicle is used, oil consumption

can be up to 0.5 l/1000 km. Oil consumption

is likely to be higher for the ﬁrst 5,000 km. For

this reason the engine oil level must be checked

at regular intervals, preferably when ﬁlling the

tank and before a journey.
