Fluids and consumables
Intr
oduction
All fluids and consumables, such as engine
coolant or vehicle batteries, are subject to con-
tinuous development. For this reason, whenever
a fluid or consumable needs to be replaced,
please contact a specialist workshop.
SEAT dealers always promptly receive informa-
tion about any modifications.
WARNING
If unsuitable fluids and consumables are
used or used improperly, accidents, injuries,
burns and severe poisoning can occur.
●
Only store operating fluids in their original
containers, tightly closed.
●
Never store operating fluids in empty food
cans, bottles or other empty containers, as
they could be ingested by somebody.
●
Keep all fluids and consumables out of
reach of children.
●
Always read and observe the information
and warnings given on containers of operat-
ing fluids.
●
When using products that emit harmful va-
pours, always work outdoors or in a well-ven-
tilated area.
NOTICE
Use only appropriate operating fluids. Ne
ver
confuse operating fluids. This could result in
serious malfunctions and motor damage!
For the sake of the environment
Leakages of operating fluids can cont
ami-
nate the environment. If any operating fluid
leaks, collect it in an appropriate container
and dispose of it properly and in an environ-
mentally friendly manner.
Cooling system
Introduction
Only carry out work on the motor cooling sys-
tem yourself if you are familiar with the neces-
sary operations and the generally applicable
safety measures, and if you have the appro-
priate tools, equipment and operating fluids.
Works performed inadequately could lead to
serious injuries . In this case, seek a specialised
workshop to perform all the works. SEAT rec-
ommends visiting a SEAT dealership for this.
WARNING
Engine coolant is toxic!
●
Only store coolant in its original container,
tightly cl
osed and in a safe place.
●
Never store motor coolant in empty food
cans, bottles or other empty containers, as it
could be ingested by another person.
●
Always keep motor coolant out of reach of
children.
●
Ensure that the coolant fluid additive per-
centage is correct, taking into account the
lowest ambient temperature expected in the
location where the vehicle is to be used.
●
When the outside temperature is very low,
the coolant could freeze and the vehicle
could be immobilised. In this case, the heat-
ing would not work either and inadequately
dressed passengers could die of cold.
For the sake of the environment
Coolants and additives can contaminate the
envir
onment. If any operating fluid leaks out,
collect it and dispose of it properly and in an
environmentally friendly manner.
Coolant specifications
The factory fitted motor cooling system is filled
with a mixture of specially treated water and at
least 40% coolant additive G12evo (TL-VW 774
L).
