Operation
WARNING
Wet, frozen or salt-covered brakes take lon-
ger to en
gage and this increases braking dis-
tances.
●
Test the brakes carefully.
●
Dry the brakes, free them of ice and salt by
braking gently several times, when weather,
road and traffic conditions permit.
WARNING
Driving without the brake servo may signifi-
cantly inc
rease the braking distance and re-
sult in a severe accident.
●
Never allow the vehicle to move forwards
when the engine is switched off.
●
If the brake servo does not operate or the
vehicle must be towed, then the brake pedal
will have to be pressed with more force given
that the braking distance will be increased
when the brake servo does not operate.
CAUTION
●
Never mak
e the brakes “slip” by pressing
the pedal gently, if it is not really necessary
to brake. Continuously pressing on the brake
pedal will heat the brakes. This could signifi-
cantly reduce braking power, increase brak-
ing distance or even result in the total failure
of the brake system.
●
Reduce speed or change down a gear when
faced with steep and long slopes. This allows
you to use the engine braking effect and to
reduce the strain on the brake system. Other-
wise, the br
akes may overheat and fail. Only
use the brakes to reduce speed or to stop.
Note
When checking the front brake pads, take the
time t
o al
so check the rear brake pads. The
thickness of the brake pads should be
checked visually and regularly, by looking
through the openings in the wheel rims or
from underneath the vehicle. If necessary, re-
move the wheels to check them thoroughly.
SEAT recommends taking your car in for tech-
nical service.
Gearbox
Intr
oduction
When reverse gear is engaged and the igni-
tion i
s
sw
itched on the following takes place:
●
Reverse lights light up.
●
When reversing, the air conditioner auto-
matically changes to air recirculation mode.
●
The rear window heater switches on when
the windscreen wiper is activated.
●
Also, the parking sensor system, the opti-
cal parking sensor and the camera for the re-
verse assist system are connected.
WARNING
Rapid acceleration can cause loss of traction
and skiddin
g, especially on slippery ground.
This could cause loss of control of the vehicle
resulting in an accident and considerable
damage.
●
Only use the kick-down function or rapid
acceleration if visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions so permit.
WARNING
Do not allow the brakes to “rub” for a pro-
longed period of
time, or brake frequently or
for long periods of time. Continuous braking
heats up the brakes. This could significantly
reduce braking power, increase braking dis-
tance or even result in the total failure of the
brake system.
