Auxiliary heating and ventilation
The windows are misted up
Windo
ws mist up when they are cooler than
the ambient temperature and the air is very
damp. Cold air can absorb less moisture than
hot air, so the windows mist up more often in
cold weather.
●
The air vent in front of the windscreen keeps
it free of ice, snow and leaves, which improves
the performance of the heating and cooling
systems.
●
The air grooves located at the rear of the
luggage compartment must be kept clear to
allow the air to circulate through the vehicle
from front to back.

Switch on the demist function.
Change the temperature unit (Climatronic)
The temperature display can be changed from
Celsius to Fahrenheit on the Infotainment sys-
tem screen using the function button
> Set-
tings > Units.

ater or water vapour under the vehicle
If the humidity and temperature outside the ve-
hicle are high, condensation can drip o the
evaporator in the cooling system and form a
pool underneath the vehicle. This is normal and
does not indicate a leak!
When the outside humidity is high and the am-
bient temperature is low, condensation water
may evaporate when the stationary air condi-
tioning is operating. In this case, steam may
be released from underneath the vehicle. This
does not mean that the vehicle has any dam-
age.
Note
After starting the engine, any residual humid-
it
y in the air conditioner could mist over the
windscreen. Switch on the defrost function
as soon as possible to clear the windscreen
of condensation.
Auxiliary heating and venti-
lation
Introduction
With the auxiliary heating and ventilation, it is
possible to heat the vehicle interior in winter
and ventilate it in summer. It can also be used
to demist the windscreen and remove ice or
even a thin layer of snow. The auxiliary heating
is powered by fuel from the vehicle’s tank and
can even continue to operate when the ignition
is switched o. The auxiliary ventilation is pow-
ered by the 12-volt vehicle battery.
The auxiliary heating can be controlled by the
SEAT CONNECT mobile app or through the My-
SEAT website.
The auxiliary heater can be switched on using
the fast heating button of the air conditioning
controls, with the remote control or by previ-
ously programming a departure time in the aux-
iliary heater menu of the infotainment system.
If the outside temperature is very high, the vehi-
cle interior can be ventilated with the engine o
using the auxiliary heater.
Auxiliary heating exhaust system
The exhaust gases generated by the auxiliary
heater are removed via an exhaust pipe fitted
underneath the vehicle. This exhaust pipe must
not be blocked by snow, mud or anything else.
WARNING
The auxiliary heater exhaust fumes contain
carbon mono
xide, an odourless and colour-
less toxic gas. Carbon monoxide can cause
people to lose consciousness. It can also
cause death.
●
Never switch on the auxiliary heater or
leave it running in enclosed spaces or areas
with no ventilation.
●
Never programme the auxiliary heater so
that it switches itself on and is running in an
enclosed space or an area with no ventila-
tion.
