Changing brake fluid

of the windscreen washer tank.  
NOTICE  
We recommend that you have the brake fluid  
changed by a Technical Service.  
Brake fluid should not come into contact with  
the vehicle paintwork, as it is abrasive.  
Check the water level in the windscreen washer  
reservoir regularly and top up as required.  
WARNING  
Note  
If the brake fluid level is low or unsuitable/old  
brake fluid is used, the brake system may fail  
or braking power may be reduced.  
The window washer tank contains liquid deter-  
gent for the windscreen and rear window.  
Brake fluid is an environmental pollutant.  
Collect any spilt service fluids and allow a  
professional to dispose of them.  
There is a sieve in the filler neck of the washer  
fluid tank. When filling the tank, this sieve re-  
tains large dirt particles so that they do not  
reach the nozzles. Do not remove the sieve ex-  
cept for cleaning. If the sieve is damaged or  
not fitted, these dirt particles could enter the  
system during filling and clog the windscreen  
washer nozzles.  
●
Check the brake system and the brake fluid  
level regularly!  
●
When the brake fluid is used and brakes  
are subjected to extreme braking forces,  
bubbles of vapour form in the brake system.  
These bubbles can significantly reduce brak-

If the water from the windscreen washer  
does not contain enough anti-freeze, it may  
freeze on the windscreen and rear window,  
reducing forward and rear visibility.

ded by SEAT with other products. This could  
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.

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.
