Checking and refilling levels

Topping up coolant

–Wait for the engine to cool down.

–Cover the coolant expansion tank cap with

a cloth and carefully unscrew it to the left

››› .

–Top up the coolant only if there is still cool-

ant in the expansion tank, otherwise you

could damage the engine. If there is no

coolant in the expansion tank, do not con-

tinue driving. You should obtain professio-

nal assistance ››› .

–If there is still some coolant in the expan-

sion tank, top up to the upper mark.

–Top up with coolant until the level becomes

stable.

–Screw the cap back on correctly.

Any loss of coolant fluid normally indicates a

leak in the cooling system. Take the vehicle

straight to a specialised workshop to have

the cooling system examined. If there are no

leaks in the engine cooling system, a loss of

coolant can only occur if the coolant boils

and is forced out of the system as a result of

overheating.

WARNING

●The cooling system is under pressure. Do

not unscrew the cap on the coolant expan-

sion tank when the engine is hot: risk of

burns!

●The antifreeze and coolant fluid can be a

health hazard. Therefore, the antifreeze

should be stored in the original container in a

safe place out of reach of children. Failure to

comply could result in poisoning.

●If working inside the engine compartment,

remember that, even when the ignition is

switched off, the radiator fan may start up au-

tomatically, and therefore there is a risk of in-

jury.

WARNING

If there is not enough anti-freeze in the cool-

ant system, the engine may fail leading to se-

rious damage.

●Please make sure that the percentage of

additive is correct with respect to the lowest

expected ambient temperature in the zone in

which the vehicle is to be used.

●When the outside temperature is very low,

the coolant could freeze and the vehicle

would be immobilised. In this case, the heat-

ing would not work either and inadequately

dressed passengers could die of cold.

CAUTION

Do not top up the expansion tank with cool-

ant fluid if it is empty! Air could enter the

cooling system. In this case, stop driving.

Seek specialist assistance. Otherwise, there

is a risk of engine damage.

CAUTION

The original additives should never be mixed

with coolants which are not approved by

SEAT. Otherwise, you run the risk of causing

severe damage to the engine and the engine

cooling system.

●If the fluid in the expansion tank is not pur-

ple but is, for example, brown, this indicates

that the G13 additive has been mixed with an

inadequate coolant. The coolant must be

changed as soon as possible if this is the

case! This could result in serious faults and

engine damage.

For the sake of the environment

Coolants and additives can contaminate the

environment. If any fluids are spilled, they

should be collected and correctly disposed

of, with respect to the environment.
