Practical tips
battery from “freezing”. If it freezes it will
be damaged.
Warning lamp
It lights up
Alternator fault.
The control lamp lights up when the ignition is
switched on. It should go out when the engine
has started running.
If the control lamp lights up while driving,
the alternator is no longer charging the bat-
tery. You should immediately drive to the
nearest specialised workshop.
You should avoid using electrical equipment
that is not absolutely necessary because this
will drain the battery.
Checking the battery electrolyte
level
The electrolyte level should be checked reg-
ularly in high-mileage vehicles, in hot coun-
tries and in older batteries.
Open the bonnet and then lift the cover
that protects the front part of the battery
in Working in the engine compart-
ment on page 315.
Check the colour display in the "magic eye"
on the top of the battery.
If there are air bubbles in the window, tap
the window gently until they disperse.
The position of the battery is shown in the
corresponding engine compartment diagram
page 317.
The “magic eye” indicator, located on the top
of the battery changes colour, depending on
the charge state and electrolyte level of the
battery.
There are two different colours:
Black: correct charge status.
Transparent/light yellow: the battery must
be replaced. Contact a specialised work-
shop.
Charging or changing the battery
If you often drive short distances or if the ve-
hicle is not driven for long periods, the battery
should be checked by a specialised work-
shop between the scheduled services.
If the battery has discharged and you have
problems starting the vehicle, the battery
might be damaged. If this happens, we rec-
ommend you have the vehicle battery
checked by a Technical Service where it will
be re-charged or replaced.
Charging the battery
The vehicle battery should be charged by a
specialised workshop only, as batteries using
special technology have been installed and
they must be charged in a controlled environ-
ment.
Replacing a vehicle battery
The battery has been developed to suit the
conditions of its location and has special
safety features. If the battery must be re-
placed, consult a technical service for infor-
mation on electromagnetic compatibility, the
size and maintenance, performance and
safety requirements of the new battery in
your vehicle before you purchase one. SEAT
recommends you have the battery replaced
by a technical service.
Start-Stop systems (››page 243) are equip-
ped with a special battery. Therefore, it must
only be replaced with a battery of the same
specifications.
Automatic disconnection of devices
The intelligent vehicle electrical system auto-
matically implements a range of measures to
prevent the battery from discharging when
high demands are made on it:
the idling speed is increased so that the al-
ternator provides more electricity.
