For vehicles fitted with a catalytic converter ensure that unleaded petrol is  
available for the journey. See the chapter “Refuelling”. Automobile organisa-  
tions will have information about service station networks selling unleaded  
fuel.  
WARNING  
The catalytic converter reaches very high temperatures! Risk of fire.  
•
Never park where the catalytic converter could come into contact with  
dry grass or inflammable materials under the vehicle.  
Do not apply additional underseal or anti-corrosion coatings to the

exhaust pipes, catalytic converter or the heat shields on the exhaust  
system. These materials could catch fire when the vehicle is driven.  
SEAT importers and distributors will gladly provide information about the  
technical preparation of your vehicle in addition to necessary maintenance  
and repair possibilities.  
Caution  
Never fully drain the fuel tank, in this case, the irregularity of the fuel supply  
may cause ignition problems. This allows unburnt fuel to enter the exhaust  
system, which could cause overheating and damage the catalytic converter.  
Adhesive strips for headlights  
If you have to drive a right-hand drive vehicle in a left-hand drive country, or  
vice versa, the asymmetric dipped beam headlights will dazzle oncoming  
traffic.  
For the sake of the environment  
Even when the emission control system is working perfectly, there may be a  
smell of sulphur from the exhaust under some conditions. This depends on  
the sulphur content of the fuel used. Quite often the problem can be reme-  
died by changing to another brand of fuel.  
To prevent dazzling, you must apply stickers to certain parts of the headlight  
lenses. Further information is available from your Authorised Service  
Centre.

Trailer towing  
What do you need to bear in mind when towing a trailer?  
Your vehicle may be used to tow a trailer when fitted with the correct equip-  
ment.  
If the car is supplied with a factory-fitted towing bracket it will already have  
the necessary technical modifications and meet the statutory requirements  
for towing a trailer. For the posterior fitting of a trailer towing bracket see  
⇒ page 164.
