Seat Mii. Service Manual - part 5

Transporting children safely

●

Children must always be protected with an

approved child restraint system suited to
their height and weight.

Use of the child seat on the rear seat

If a child seat is mounted on the rear seat,
adapt the position of the front passenger
seat so that the child has enough space.
Therefore, adapt the front passenger seat to
the size of the child seat and the height of
the child. Ensure the passenger is in the cor-
rect position 



.

Suitable child seats
The manufacturer must authorise the child
seat for use in the rear seats with side air-
bags.

Universal seats for children can be fitted in
the passenger seat, in groups 0, 0+, 1, 2 or 3
according to the ECE-R 44 regulation.

The rear seats are suitable for child seats
with the 

ISOFIX system specially designed

for this type of vehicle in accordance with
regulation ECE-R 44.

ISOFIX child seats approved for rear seats
ISOFIX child seats are divided into the follow-
ing certified categories: “universal”, “semi-
universal” or “specific categories for the ve-
hicle”.

●

If the ISOFIX child seat is certified “univer-

sal”, it must be supported by the lower an-
chor points and the Top Tether retaining
strap.

●

If the ISOFIX child seat is certified “semi-

universal” or “specific categories for the ve-
hicle”, check that the child seat is certified
for the vehicle before employing it. The child
seat manufacturer supplies, in addition to
the ISOFIX child seat, a list of vehicles for
which the corresponding ISOFIX child seat
has been certified. If necessary, contact the
child seat manufacturer for an updated list of
vehicles.

Changing a wheel

Introduction

Read the additional information carefully

››› 



page 36

Some vehicle versions and models do not
have a factory-fitted jack or box spanner. In
this case, we recommend consulting a Speci-
alised workshop to change the wheel.

You should only change the wheels yourself if
the vehicle is parked in a safe place, you are
familiar with the procedure and safety stand-
ards and you have all the necessary tools!
Otherwise, you should seek professional as-
sistance.

WARNING

Changing a wheel can be dangerous, espe-
cially on the hard shoulder. Please observe
the following rules to minimise the risk of in-
jury:

●

Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.

Park at a safe distance from surrounding traf-
fic to change a wheel.

●

When changing a wheel, keep all passen-

gers, and particularly children, a safe dis-
tance away from the work area.

●

Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn

other road users.

●

Ensure the ground on which you park is flat

and solid. If necessary, support the jack on a
wide solid base.

●

If you are changing a wheel yourself, you

should be familiar with the required proce-
dure. Otherwise, you should seek professio-
nal assistance.

●

Only use suitable tools that are not dam-

aged when changing a wheel.

●

Always stop the engine, apply the hand-

brake lever firmly and place the selector lever
in position N or the manual gearbox in gear-

to reduce the risk of the vehicle accidentally
moving.

●

Have the tightening torque of the wheel

bolts checked as soon as possible with a reli-
able torque wrench.

WARNING

If the wheel trims are not appropriate or not
fitted correctly, they could cause major acci-
dents or damage.

●

Incorrectly mounted wheel trims may come

off while driving and endanger other road
users.

●

Damaged trims must never be mounted on

the wheels.

●

Always ensure that the brake ventilation

and cooling is not cut off or blocked. This is
also valid if hubcaps are fitted later. If there
is not enough air, you may require signifi-
cantly longer braking distances.

CAUTION

Remove and remount wheel trims taking care
to avoid damage to the vehicle.

Self-help

The Anti-puncture kit* (Tyre Mobility System)
will reliably seal punctures caused by the
penetration of a foreign body of up to about
4 mm in diameter. Do not remove foreign ob-
jects, e.g. screws or nails, from the tyre.

After inserting the sealant residue in the tyre,
you must again check the tyre pressure about
10 minutes after starting the engine.

You should only use the tyre mobility set if
the vehicle is parked in a safe place, you are
familiar with the procedure and you have the
necessary tyre mobility set! Otherwise, you
should seek professional assistance.

The tyre sealant must not be used in the fol-
lowing cases:

●

If the wheel rim has been damaged.

●

In outside temperatures below -20 °C

(-4 °F).

●

In the event of cuts or perforations in the

tyre greater than 4 mm.

●

If you have been driving with very low pres-

sure or a completely flat tyre.

●

If the sealant bottle has passed its use by

date.

WARNING

Using the tyre mobility system can be dan-
gerous, especially when filling the tyre at the
roadside. Please observe the following rules
to minimise the risk of injury:

●

Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.

Park it at a safe distance from surrounding
traffic to fill the tyre.

●

Ensure the ground on which you park is flat

and solid.

●

All passengers and particularly children

must keep a safe distance from the work area.

●

Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn

other road users.

●

Use the tyre mobility system only if you are

familiar with the necessary procedures. Oth-
erwise, you should seek professional assis-
tance.

●

The tyre mobility set is intended for tempo-

rary emergency use only until you can reach
the nearest specialised workshop.

●

Replace the repaired tyre with the tyre mo-

bility set as soon as possible.

●

The sealant is a health hazard and must be

cleaned immediately if it comes into contact
with the skin.

●

Always keep the tyre mobility set out of the

reach of small children.

●

Never use an equivalent jack, even if it has

been approved for your vehicle.

●

Always stop the engine, apply the hand-

brake lever firmly and engage gear if using a
manual gearbox, in order to reduce the risk of
vehicle involuntary movement.

WARNING

A tyre filled with sealant does not have the
same performance properties as a conven-
tional tyre.

●

Never drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).

●

Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and

fast cornering.

●

Drive for only 10 minutes at a maximum

speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) and then check
the tyre.

For the sake of the environment

Dispose of used or expired sealant observing
any legal requirements.

Note

●

A new bottle of sealant can be purchased at

SEAT dealerships.

●

Take into account the separate instruction

manual of the tyre mobility set* manufactur-
er.

.

The windscreen wiper blades are supplied as
standard with a layer of graphite. This layer is
responsible for ensuring that the wipe is si-
lent. If the graphite layer is damaged, the
noise of the water as it is wiped across the
windscreen will be louder.

Check the condition of the wiper blades regu-
larly. 

If the wipers scrape across the glass

they should be changed if they are damaged,
or cleaned if they are dirty 

››› 

.

Damaged wiper blades should be replaced
immediately. These are available from quali-
fied workshops.

WARNING

Worn or dirty wiper blades reduce visibility
and increase the risk of accident and serious
injury.

●

Always replace damaged or worn blades or

blades which do not clean the windscreen
correctly.

CAUTION

●

Damaged or dirty windscreen wipers could

scratch the glass.

●

If products containing solvents, rough

sponges or sharp objects are used to clean
the blades, the graphite layer will be dam-
aged.

●

Never use fuel, nail varnish remover, paint

thinner or similar products to clean the win-
dows.

CAUTION

●

To prevent damage to the bonnet and the

wiper arms, only leave them in the service
position.

●

Before driving, always lower the wiper

arms.

Note

Fuses and bulbs

Fuses

Introduction

Due to the constant updating of vehicles,
fuse assignments based on equipment and
the use of the same fuse for various electrical
components, it is not possible to provide an
up-to-date summary of the fuse positions for
the electrical components at the time of
printing this manual. For detailed information
about the fuse positions, please consult a
technical service.

In general, a fuse can be assigned to various
electrical components. Likewise, an electrical
component can be protected by several
fuses.

Only replace fuses when the cause of the
problem has been solved. If a newly inserted
fuse blows after a short time, you must have
the electrical system checked by a special-
ised workshop as soon as possible.

WARNING

The high voltages in the electrical system can
give serious electrical shocks, causing burns
and even death!

●

Never touch the electrical wiring of the igni-

tion system.

●

Take care not to cause short circuits in the

electrical system.

WARNING

Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses or
bridging a current circuit without fuses can
cause a fire and serious injury.

●

Never use a fuse with a higher value. Only

replace fuses with a fuse of the same amper-
age (same colour and markings) and size.

●

Never repair a fuse.

●

Never replace a fuse by a metal strip, staple

or similar.

CAUTION

●

To prevent damage to the vehicle's electric

system, before replacing a fuse always turn
off the ignition, the lights and all electrical
elements and remove the key from the igni-
tion.

●

If you replace a fuse with higher-rating

fuse, you could cause damage to another part
of the electrical system.

●

Protect the fuse boxes when open to pre-

vent the entry of dust or humidity as they can
damage the electrical system.

Note

●

One component may have more than one

fuse.

Changing bulbs

Introduction

Changing bulbs requires a certain amount of
manual skill. If you are unsure, SEAT recom-
mends that you consult a technical service or
request assistance from a specialist. In gen-
eral a specialist is needed if, in addition to
the bulbs, other vehicle components require
removal.

You should store spare light bulbs in the ve-
hicle for safety-relevant lights. Spare bulbs
may be obtained from the technical services.
In some countries, it is a legal requirement to
carry spare bulbs in the vehicle.

Driving with faults and blown bulbs on the
vehicle exterior lighting is against the law.

Additional bulb specifications
The specifications of some headlamp bulbs
and bulbs for the rear lamps fitted at the fac-
tory may be different to those of conventional
bulbs. Bulb information is displayed on the
bulb socket or on the bulb itself.

WARNING

If the road is not well-lit and the vehicle is
not clearly visible to other drivers, there is a
risk of accident.

WARNING

Failure to replace bulbs correctly may cause
serious accidents.

●

Before carrying out any work in the engine

compartment please read and observe the
warnings 

››› 

page 186

. In any vehicle, the en-

gine compartment is a hazardous area and
could cause severe injury.

●

The bulbs H4, HB4 and H7 are pressurised

and might explode on changing them.

●

Only replace the bulbs concerned when

they have cooled.

●

Never replace bulbs alone if you are not fa-

miliar with the operations necessary. If you
are not sure about procedures then visit a
specialised workshop to carry out the neces-
sary work.

●

Never touch the bulb glass directly. Finger-

prints will be evaporated by the heat of the

operating bulb thus “fogging” up the reflec-
tor.

●

The headlamp frameworks in the engine

compartment and the rear lamps contain
sharp elements. Always protect your hands
when changing bulbs.

CAUTION

●

After changing a bulb, if the rubber covers

are not replaced correctly on the headlamp
framework, the electrical installation may be
damaged, especially if water is allowed to en-
ter.

●

Remove the ignition key before working on

the electric system. Otherwise, a short circuit
could occur.

●

Switch off the lights and the parking light

before changing a bulb.

●

Take good care to avoid damaging any com-

ponents.
