Air conditioning

Heating, ventilation and cooling
If the filt
er loses eciency prematurely due to
use in areas with very high levels of air pollu-
tion, the filter must be changed more frequently
than stated in the Service Schedule.
Air vents
To ensure proper heating, cooling and ventila-
tion in the vehicle interior, the air vents must
remain open.
There are other additional, non-adjustable air
vents in the instrument panel, in the footwells
and in the rear area of the passenger compart-
ment.
WARNING
Reduced visibility through the windows in-
cr
eases the risk of serious accidents.
●
Always ensure that all windows are free of
ice and snow, and that they are not fogged,
so as to maintain good visibility of everything
outside.
●
Only drive when you have good visibility.
●
Always ensure that you use the air condi-
tioner and heated rear window to maintain
good visibility.
●
Never leave the air recirculation on for a
long period of time. If the cooling system
is switched o and air recirculation mode
switched on, the windows can mist over very
quickly, considerably limiting visibility.
●
Switch air recirculation mode o when it is
not required.
NOTICE
Food, medicines and other objects sensitive
t
o heat or cold may be damaged or made
unsuitable for use by the air coming from the
vents.
●
Never place food, medicines or other tem-
perature-sensitive objects close to the air
vents.
Note
●
When the cooling system is turned o, air
coming fr
om the outside will not be dried. To
prevent fogging of the windows, SEAT recom-
mends leaving the cooling system (compres-
sor) turned on. To do this, press the function
button
. The icon should light up.
●
The maximum heat output required to de-
fr
ost windows as quickly as possible is only
available when the engine has reached its
normal running temperature.
●
Keep the air intake slots in front of the
windscreen free of snow, ice and leaves to
ensure heating and cooling are not impaired,
and to prevent the windows from misting
over.
●
The air from the vents flows through the ve-
hicle interior and is extracted by slots in the
luggage compartment designed for this pur-
pose. Therefore, you should avoid obstruct-
ing these slots with any kind of object.
●
It is advisable to turn on the air condition-
ing at least once a month, to lubricate the
system gaskets and prevent leaks. If a de-
crease in the cooling capacity is detected,
a Technical Service should be consulted to
check the system.
●
When the engine is under extreme strain,
switch o the compressor for a moment.
