Checking and refilling levels
WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous. Old brake fluid im-
pairs
the braking effect.
●
Before opening the bonnet to check the
brake fluid level, read and observe the warn-
ings ››› page 198.
●
Brake fluid should be stored in the closed
original container in a safe place out of reach
of children. There is a toxic risk.
●
Perform the brake fluid change according to
the Maintenance Programme. Heavy use of
the brakes may cause a vapour lock if the
brake fluid is left in the brake system for too
long. This would seriously affect the effec-
tiveness of the brakes and the safety of the
vehicle. This may cause an accident.
CAUTION
Brake fluid damages the vehicle paintwork.
Wipe off an
y brake fluid from the paintwork
immediately.
For the sake of the environment
The brake pads and brake fluid must be col-
lected and di
sposed of according the applica-
ble regulations. The SEAT Technical Service
network has the necessary equipment and
qualified personnel for collecting and dispos-
ing of this waste material.

The windscreen washer and the headlight
washers are supplied with fluid from the
windscreen washer fluid container in the en-
gine compartment. The container holds ap-
prox. 3 litres; in vehicles with headlight
washers* it holds approx. 4.5 litres.
The tank is in the engine compartment.
Plain water is not enough to clean the wind-
screen and headlights. We recommend that
you always add a product to the windscreen
washer fluid. Approved windscreen cleaning
products exist on the market with high deter-
gent and anti-freeze properties, these may be
added all-year-round. Please follow the dilu-
tion instructions on the packaging.
WARNING
Any work carried out in the engine compart-
ment or on the engine mu
st be carried out
cautiously.
●
When working in the engine compartment,
always observe the safety warnings
››› page 198.
CAUTION
●
Never put
radiator anti-freeze or other addi-
tives into the windscreen washer fluid.
●
Always use approved windscreen cleansing
products diluted as per instructions. If you
use other washer fluids or soap solutions,
the tiny holes in the fan-shaped nozzles
could become blocked.
