Operation
switched on, the windows can mist over
very quickly, considerably limiting visibility.
Swit
ch air recirculation mode off when it
is not required.
WARNING
Stuffy or used air will increase fatigue and
r
educe driver concentration possibly re-
sulting in a serious accident.
Ne
ver leave the fresh air fan turned off or
use the air recirculation for long periods of
time; the air in the vehicle interior will not
be refreshed.
CAUTION
To replace the pollen filt
er, always visit a
service centre.
Switch the climate control or air condi-
tioner off if you think it may be broken. This
will avoid additional damage. Have the cli-
mate control or air conditioning checked
by a specialised workshop.
Repairs to the climat
e control or air con-
ditioning require specialist knowledge and
special tools. SEAT recommends visiting a
SEAT Official Service.
Note
When the cooling syst
em is turned off, air
coming from the outside will not be dried.
T
o prevent fogging of the windows, SEAT
recommends leaving the cooling system
(compressor) turned on. To do this, press
the 
button. The button lamp 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 im-
paired, and to prevent the windows from
misting over.
The air from the vents flows through the
vehicle interior and is extracted by slots in
the luggage compartment designed for this
purpose. Therefore
, you should avoid ob-
structing these slots with any kind of ob-
ject.
Do not smoke while air recirculation
mode is on, as smoke drawn into the air
conditioning system leaves residue on the
evaporator, producing a permanent un-
pleasant odour.
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 off the compressor for a moment.
