Cooling system
● If the level is below the minimum level mark
( ) on the tank, top up with coolant. When the
motor is warm, the coolant level may be slightly
above the upper mark.
Topping up the fluid
When the motor coolant level is too low, the
coolant warning light comes on. In this case,
immediately seek assistance from specialist
personnel.
If the coolant level is too low and there is no
workshop nearby, note the following:
●Always protect your face, hands and arms
from hot coolant or steam by placing a suitable
cloth over the cap of the motor coolant expan-
sion tank.
●Carefully unscrew the cap ››› .
●Only top up with fresh coolant according to
SEAT specifications ›››page329.
●Only top up with coolant if there is still some
coolant left in the expansion tank; otherwise the
motor could be damaged! If you do not see any
coolant in the expansion tank, do not continue
driving and seek specialist assistance.
● If there is still some coolant left in the expan-
sion tank, top up with coolant up to the tank’s
upper mark and check the level the next day.
If the level drops again, go to a workshop and
request a check of the cooling system.
●The coolant level must be between the marks
on the expansion tank ›››Fig.227. Never ex-
ceed the top edge of the marked area ››› .
●Screw the cap on tightly.
● If engine coolant with the recommended
specifications is not available in an emergency,
do not use any other coolant additive! In this
case, top up with distilled water ››› only.
Next, ensure that the recommended additive is
topped up as soon as possible in the correct
proportion ›››page329.
WARNING
Steam and hot motor coolant can cause se-
vere burns.
●Never open the front bonnet if you see or
hear steam or coolant escaping from the
front compartment. Always wait until you can
no longer see or hear steam or coolant es-
caping. Touching hot parts can result in skin
burns.
●Before opening the front bonnet, please
note the following:
–Apply the electronic parking brake.
–Always keep children away from the front
compartment and never leave them unat-
tended.
●When the motor is hot, its cooling system is
pressurised. Do not open the expansion tank
cap, hot coolant may splash out and cause
severe burns and other injuries.
–Turn the cap slowly and very care-
fully anticlockwise while pressing it down
slightly.
–Always protect your face, hands and
arms from the hot coolant and steam with
a large thick cloth.
NOTICE
Only use distilled water! Other types of wa-
ter contain chemical substances that could
cause significant corrosion damage. If you
have added non-distilled water, have all of
the motor cooling system fluid changed im-
mediately by a specialist workshop.
●When topping up the, do not fill over the
upper edge of the marked area ›››Fig.227.
Otherwise, when the temperature rises the
excess fluid will be expelled from the motor
cooling system and could cause damage.
●If the system leaks a lot of coolant, only
refill once the motor has cooled down com-
pletely. If there is a significant loss of cool-
ant, there may be leaks in the cooling sys-
tem. Immediately go to a specialist workshop
to have the system checked. This could result
in motor damage.
