WARNING
●
Alwa
ys drive according to the road weather
conditions, the terrain and traffic. Driving rec-
ommendations should never lead to illegal
manoeuvres in surrounding traffic.

Driving tips
Driv
in
g abr
oad
In some countries, certain safety regulations
and r
equir
ements
are in force relating to ex-
haust gas emissions, which differ from the
technical characteristics of the vehicle. Be-
fore travelling abroad, SEAT recommends you
consult a technical service about the legal re-
quirements and the following points:
●
Does the vehicle need technical modifica-
tions for driving abroad, for example, adjust-
ment of the headlamps?
●
Does the vehicle have all the tools, diag-
nostics equipment and spare parts required
for inspections and repairs?
●
Are there any SEAT dealers in the destina-
tion country?
●
For petrol vehicles: Is unleaded petrol avail-
able at the right octane rating?
●
For diesel engines: Is diesel fuel available
with a low sulphur content?
●
Are a suitable engine oil (››› page 271) and
other engine fluids complying with SEAT
specifications available in the destination
country?
●
Will the navigation system fitted at the fac-
tory operate correctly in the destination coun-
try with the available navigation data?
●
Are special tyres required in the destination
country?
CAUTION
SEAT does not accept liability for any damage
to the v
ehicle due to the use of a lower quali-
ty fuel, an inadequate service or the non-
availability of genuine spare parts.
Driving along flooded roadways
To prevent damage to the vehicle when driv-
in
g thr
ough w
ater, for example, along a floo-
ded road, please observe the following:
●
Check the depth of the water before enter-
ing the flooded zone. The water should never
come above the lower edge of the bodywork
›››
.
●
Do not
driv
e f
aster than a pedestrian.
●
Do not stop in the water, use reverse gear
or switch off the engine.
●
Oncoming traffic will cause waves which
raise the level of the water, making it difficult
to cross the water.
The Start/Stop system must be deactivated
when driving through flooded areas
WARNING
When driving through water, mud, melted
snow
, etc., please remember that due to
damp or frozen brake discs and shoes in win-
ter, the braking effect may be delayed, there-
fore the required braking distance is greater.
●
“Dry the brakes and remove ice” by braking
carefully. Ensure that you are not endanger-
ing other road-users or breaking traffic regu-
lations in the process.
●
After driving through water, avoid sudden
sharp manoeuvres.
CAUTION
●
Driving thr
ough flooded areas may severely
damage vehicle components such as the en-
gine, transmission, drive train or electrical
system.
●
Never drive through salt water as salt cau-
ses corrosion. Always rinse any parts of the
vehicle which have been in contact with salt
water.
