Air conditioning
Troubleshooting
The cooling mode cannot be switched on
or oper
ates in a limited way
The cooling mode works only with the engine
running and if the ambient temperature is
above +3 °C (+38 °F). When the engine is very
hot, the cooling mode is deactivated.
●
Switch on the fan.
●
Check the air conditioning fuse

If the fault continues, consult a specialised
w
orkshop.
The heating and fresh air system cannot
be switched on or operates in a limited
way
●
The heating and fresh air system and the
defrost function operate best when the en-
gine is hot.
●
If the fault continues, consult a specialised
workshop.
The windows are misted up
Windows 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

The temperature unit is not correct
Use the infotainment system to change the
units for all of the vehicle's temperature dis-
plays.
Water or water vapour under the vehicle
When the outside air is very humid and the
ambient temperature is high, condensation
may drip from the evaporator of the cooling
system, which can form a puddle under the
vehicle. This is completely normal and is no
indication of a leak.
If the outside air is very humid and the ambi-
ent temperature is low, the auxiliary heating
can evaporate the condensation. In this case,
steam may come out from under the vehicle.
This does not mean that the vehicle has bro-
ken down.
Auxiliary heating and venti-
lation
Introduction
With the auxiliary heating and ventilation, it is
possibl
e 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 heat-
ing is powered by fuel from the vehicle’s tank
and can even continue to operate when the
ignition is switched off. The auxiliary ventila-
tion is powered by the 12-volt vehicle battery.
The auxiliary heating can be controlled by
the SEAT CONNECT mobile app or through
the MySEAT 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
auxiliary heater menu of the infotainment sys-
tem.
If the outside temperature is very high, the ve-
hicle interior can be ventilated with the en-
gine off 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
