Safe driving8
x Check that the lights and turn signals operate correctly.

x Wear close-fitting shoes which do not prevent you from using the pedals
correctly.
x The driver's floor mat should be fixed to the floor, leaving the pedal area
unobstructed.
x Before starting out, ensure you are correctly seated and remain in this
position throughout the journey. This applies to all passengers in the vehicle
page 10.

fastened throughout the journey. This applies to all passengers in the vehicle
page 22.

belts in your vehicle.
x Never drive with impaired faculties (for example, due to medication,
alcohol or drugs).
x Do not allow yourself to be distracted from the traffic, for example, to reset

x Always try to adapt the speed of the vehicle and your style of driving to the
condition of the ground or the road and to weather and traffic conditions.
x Observe the highway code and speed limits.
x On long journeys, rest at regular intervals (at least every two hours).
x If carrying animals, make sure they are correctly restrained in accordance

WARNING
Always observe traffic regulations and speed limits and try to anticipate
traffic movements. Correctly anticipating traffic situations may mean the
difference between arriving safe and sound at your destination or having a
serious accident.
Note
Regular servicing of your vehicle not only helps to keep it in good working
order but also helps to ensure road safety. Therefore, please ensure the
vehicle is taken for service as indicated in the Maintenance Programme. If the
vehicle is subjected to hard use, it may require certain maintenance work
before the next service date. Hard use may involve frequent driving in traffic
jams, driving in dusty areas or frequent use of the tow-bar. For further infor-
mation, please refer to a SEAT dealer or specialised workshop.
Driving abroad
Check list
In some countries, certain safety regulations and requirements are in force
relating to exhaust gas emissions, which differ from the technical character-
istics of the vehicle. Before travelling abroad, SEAT recommends you consult
a SEAT dealer about the legal requirements and the following points:
x Does the vehicle need technical modifications for driving abroad, for
example, adjustment of the headlamps?
x Does the vehicle have all the tools, diagnostics equipment and spare
parts required for inspections and repairs?
x Are there any SEAT dealers in the destination country?
