Checking and refilling levels
●
If the brake fluid is left in the system for
too long and the brakes are subjected to
heavy use, vapour bubbles may form in the
brake system. This would seriously affect
the efficiency of the brakes and the safety
of the vehicle. This may cause an accident.
CAUTION
Brake fluid should not come into contact
with the vehicle paintwork, as it is abrasive.

washer reservoir regularly and top up as re-

on the cap.
● Check there is enough windscreen water in
the reservoir.
Recommended windscreen wipers
●
For the hottest seasons we recommend
summer G 052 184 A1 for clear glass. Propor-
tions of the mixture in the washer fluid tank:
1:100 (1 part concentrate per 100 parts wa-
ter).
●
All year round, G 052 164 A2 for clear glass.
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.
Capacity
The reservoir holds approximately 3 litres in
versions without headlight washer and 5 litres
in versions with headlight washer.
WARNING
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.
●
In winter, ensure the windscreen washer
contains enough anti-freeze.
● In cold conditions, you should not use the
windscreen wiper system unless you have
warmed the windscreen with the ventila-
tion system. The antifreeze could freeze on
the windscreen and reduce visibility.
WARNING
Never mix an unsuitable antifreeze or other
similar additives with the windscreen wash-
er water. A greasy layer may be formed on
the windscreen which will impair visibility.
●
Use clean water with a window cleaner
recommended by SEAT.
●
If necessary, add a suitable antifreeze to
the water in the reservoir.
CAUTION
● Do not mix cleaning products recommen-
ded by SEAT with other products. This
could lead to flocculation and may block
the windscreen washer jets.
●
When topping up service fluids, make ab-
solutely certain that you fill the fluids into
the correct reservoirs. Using the wrong flu-
ids could cause serious malfunctions and
engine damage!
●
Not having windscreen wiper fluid re-
duces visibility through the windscreen,
and leads to loss of visibility in headlights
in models with headlight washer.
