Air conditioning
WARNING
Stuffy or used air will increase fatigue and
reduce driver concentration possibly re-
sulting in a serious accident.
●
Never l
eave 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 filter, al
ways 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 climate 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.
To pre
vent 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-
frost windows as quickly as possibl
e 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 av
oid 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.
