Practical tips
throttle. Refuel with super as soon as possi-
bl
e
.
CAUTION
●
Fuels high percent
age of ethanol, e.g.
E30 - E100 button must not be used. The
fuel system would be damaged. Exception:
vehicles with Totalflex engine

Ethanol fuel.
●
A single refuelling with leaded fuel or
other metal additives entails a permanent
deterioration of the effectiveness of the
catalytic converter.
●
Only use fuel additives that have been
approved by SEAT. The products that con-
tain substances to increase the octane rat-
ing or decrease knocking may contain met-
al additives that damage the engine and
catalytic converter. This type of products
must not be used.
●
Do not use fuels shown in the pump as
containing metals. LRP (lead replacement
petrol) fuels contain high concentrations of
metal additives. Risk of engine damage!
●
High engine speed and full throttle can
damage the engine when using petrol with
an octane rating lower than the correct
grade for the engine.
Note
●
Fuel with an octane rating higher than the
one r
equired by the engine can be used.
●
In countries in which there is no sulphur-
free fuel, it is also allowed to use low sul-
phur content fuel.
Ethanol fuel
3 Applies to vehicles: with Totalflex engine
You can r
ecognise vehicles with Totalflex en-
gines
1)
by label on the fuel tank lid with with
the marking “Petrol/ethanol”.
Vehicles with Totalflex engine can run with
unleaded petrol (95 octane / 91 AKI) accord-
ing to ANP No. 57 and with fuels with any high
percentage of ethanol. The vehicle is refuel-
led in the same way as petrol refuelling.

Note
SEAT recommends filling the tank exclu-
sively with petrol e
very 10,000 km to de-
crease impurities that using E100 ethanol
fuel might have left in the engine.
Diesel
3 Applies to vehicles: with diesel engine
Please not
e the information on the inside of
the fuel tank flap.
We recommend you use Diesel according to
standard EN 590.
The diesel can thicken at very low tempera-
tures, thus affecting the start or operation of
the engine. To ensure that you can continue
to use your vehicle as usual, the diesel sold in
gas stations is provided -depending on the
station- with fluidity when cold. Ask the em-
ployee of the petrol station whether their die-
sel is suitable for use in winter and if it is suited
for current and future temperatures.
Water in the fuel filter
2)
If your vehicle has a diesel engine and is
equipped with a fuel filter with a water sep-
arator, the instrument panel may display the
following warning:
Water in the fuel filter.
If this is the case, take the vehicle to a speci-
alised workshop so that they can drain the
fuel filter.

This motor is only available in some markets.
