Recommended systems for attaching

child seats

SEAT recommends attaching child seats as

follows:

●

Baby carriers or child seats in the oppo-

site direction of travel: ISOFIX and support

bracket or iSize.

●

Child seats in the direction of travel: ISO-

FIX and Top Tether.

WARNING

Incorrect use of the support bracket can

cause serious or fatal injury.

●

Make sure the support bracket is correct-

ly and safely installed.

WARNING

To access the vehicle tools:

Using the tyre mobility system can be dan-

gerous, especially when filling the tyre at

the roadside. Please observe the following

rules to minimise the risk of injury:

The Anti-puncture kit* (Tyre Mobility System)

will reliably seal punctures caused by the

penetration of a foreign body of up to about

4 mm in diameter. Do not remove foreign

objects, e.g. screws or nails, from the tyre.

●

Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possi-

ble. Park it at a safe distance from sur-

rounding traffic to fill the tyre.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the an-

ti-puncture kit* is located under the floor

panel in the luggage compartment.

●

Ensure the ground on which you park is

flat and solid.

After inserting the sealant residue in the tyre,

you must again check the tyre pressure

about 10 minutes after starting the engine.

However, if the vehicle must absolutely be

It is safer for the vehicle to be towed using a

tow bar, avoiding damage to the vehicle. A

tow rope should only be used if a tow bar is

not available.

with a tow bar if this has been specially de-

signed to be installed with a tow hitch. If an

unsuitable tow bar is used, both the tow

hitch and the vehicle may be damaged. In-

stead, a tow rope should be used.

In general, a fuse can be assigned to various

electrical components. Likewise, an electrical

component can be protected by several

fuses.

●

More strength is required at the steering

wheel as the power steering does not oper-

ate when the engine is switched off.

Only replace fuses when the cause of the

problem has been solved. If a newly inserted

fuse blows after a short time, you must have

the electrical system checked by a special-

ised workshop as soon as possible.

●

You should depress the brake much harder

as the brake servo does not operate. Avoid

hitting the towing vehicle.

Driving tips for towing

Function and operation

Fatigue detection determines the driving be-

haviour of the driver when starting a journey,

making a calculation of tiredness. This is con-

stantly compared with the current driving be-

haviour. If the system detects that the driver is

tired, an audible warning is given with a

sound and an optic warning is shown with a

symbol and complementary message on the

instrument panel display››› Fig. 126. The

message on the instrument panel display is

shown for approximately 5 seconds, and de-

pending on the case, is repeated. The system

stores the last message displayed.

●

If when switching on the ignition warnings

be possible to change the settings or show

go to a specialised workshop and request a

tions can limit the Fatigue detection or pre-

vent it from functioning.

sufficient in length when making long jour-

neys.
