Driving
●
It is recommended that you close the
windows when driving at more than
60 km/h (37 mph).
●
Do not drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, as the pressure can make the
plate slip. This causes wear and can dam-
age the clutch plate.
●
Do not ride the clutch on a hill, use the
brake. The fuel consumption will be lower
and you will prevent the clutch plate from
being damaged.
●
Use the engine brake on downhills by
changing to the gear that is best suited for
the gradient. Fuel consumption will be
“zero” and the brakes will not suffer.
Driving on flooded roads
To prevent damage to the vehicle driving on
flooded roads, take the following into ac-
count:
●
The water should never come above the
lower edge of the bodywork.
●
Drive at pedestrian speed.
WARNING
After driving through flooded zones, brak-
ing effectiveness can decrease if the brake
discs or pads are damp
.
CAUTION
●
Driving through flooded areas may dam-
age vehicle components such as the en-
gine, transmission or electrical system.
●
Whenever driving through water, the
Start-Stop system* must be switched off
.
Note
●
Check the depth of the water before en-
tering the flooded zone.
●
Do not stop in the water, drive in reverse,
or stop the engine.
●
Vehicles travelling in the opposite direc-
tion cause waves that could exceed your
vehicle's critical height.
●
Avoid driving through salt water (corro-
sion)
Trips abroad
●
With petrol vehicles, it should be ensured
that lead-free petrol is available throughout
the journey
. Seek
information about service station networks
selling unleaded fuel.
●
In some countries, it is possible that your
vehicle is not sold and some spare parts may
not be available or the technical services
may only be able to make limited repairs.
SEAT importers and distributors will provide
information about the technical preparation
that your vehicle requires and also about
necessary maintenance and repair possibili-
ties.
CAUTION
SEAT does not accept liability for any dam-
age to the vehicle due to the use of a lower
quality fuel, an inadequate service or the
non-availability of genuine spare parts.
