Climate control usage instructions

The interior cooling system only works when
the engine is running and fan is switched on.

Economic use of the air conditioning

When the air conditioning is switched on, the
compressor consumes engine power and has
influence on fuel consumption.

The air conditioner operates most effectively
with the windows and the panoramic sliding
sunroof closed. However, if the vehicle has
heated up after standing in the sun for some
time, the air inside can be cooled more quick-
ly by opening the windows and the panoram-
ic sliding sunroof briefly.

Change the temperature unit (Climatron-
ic)

The temperature display can be changed
from Celsius to Fahrenheit on the screen of
the Infotainment system using the Infotain-
ment button

Settings > Units

The cooling system cannot be activated

If the air conditioning system cannot be
switched on, this may be caused by the fol-
lowing:

●

The engine is not running.

●

The fan is switched off.

●

The air conditioner fuse has blown.

●

The outside temperature is lower than ap-

proximately +3°C (+38°F).

140

Air conditioning

●

The air conditioner compressor has been

temporarily switched off because the engine
coolant temperature is too high.

●

Another fault in the vehicle. Have the air

conditioner checked by a specialised work-
shop.

Special characteristics

If the humidity and temperature outside the
vehicle are high,

condensation

can drip off

the evaporator in the cooling system and
form a pool underneath the vehicle. This is
normal and does not indicate a leak!

Note

After starting the engine, any residual hu-
midity in the air conditioner could mist over
the windscreen. Switch on the defrost func-
tion as soon as possible to clear the wind-
screen of condensation.

Air vents

To ensure proper heating, cooling and venti-
lation in the vehicle interior, the air vents must
remain open.

●

To close the air vents on the left side, move

the corresponding diffuser vent lever fully to
the right. To close the air vents on the rights
side, move the corresponding diffuser vent
lever fully to the left.

●

Change the air direction using the ventila-

tion grille lever.

There are other additional, non-adjustable air
vents in the dash panel, in the footwells and in
the rear area of the passenger compartment.

Note

Food, medicine and other heat or cold sen-
sitive objects should never be placed in
front of the air outlets as they may be dam-
aged or made unsuitable for use by the air.

Air recirculation



Air recirculation mode prevents the ambient
air from entering the interior.

When the outside temperature is very high,
selecting manual air recirculation mode for a
short period refreshes the vehicle interior
more quickly.

For safety reasons, air recirculation mode is
switched off when the button

duction on page 137

●

If the cooling system is switched off and

air recirculation mode switched on, the
windows can mist over very quickly, con-
siderably limiting visibility.

●

Switch air recirculation mode off when it

is not required.

CAUTION

Do not smoke when air recirculation is
switched on in vehicles with an air condi-
tioner. The smoke taken in could lie on the
cooling system vaporiser and on the acti-
vated charcoal cartridge of the dust and
pollen filter, leading to a permanently un-
pleasant smell.

Note

Climatronic: air recirculation mode is acti-
vated to prevent exhaust gas or unpleasant
odours from entering the vehicle interior
when it is in reverse and while the automat-
ic windscreen wiper is working.

Note

If the temperature regulator is turned to the
coldest setting (blue point), the air recircu-
lation function and the

buildings, mountains or due to the operation
of other electrical devices, such as chargers,
can also interfere with the reception of the ra-
dio signal.

Foils or adhesives with metallic layers on the
antenna and on the window panes can inter-
fere with radio reception.

WARNING

The infotainment central computer is inter-
connected with the control units mounted
on the vehicle. Therefore, there is a serious
danger of accident and injury if the central
computer is repaired or disassembled and
reassembled incorrectly.

●

Never replace the central computer with

another used, recycled or from another ve-
hicle at the end of its useful life.

●

The repair or disassembly and reassem-

bly of the central computer should only be
carried out at specialised workshops. SEAT
recommends visiting a SEAT dealership for
this.

WARNING

Infotainment system

Therefore, there is a serious danger of acci-
dent and injury if the radio is repaired or
disassembled and reassembled incorrect-
ly.

●

Never replace the radio with another ra-

dio that is used, recycled or from another
vehicle at the end of its useful life.

●

The repair or disassembly and reassem-

bly of the radio should only be carried out
at specialised workshops. SEAT recom-
mends visiting a SEAT dealership for this.

WARNING

Any distraction affecting the driver in any
way can lead to an accident and cause in-
juries. Reading the information on the
screen and managing the infotainment sys-
tem can distract your attention from traffic
and cause an accident.

●

Always drive as carefully and responsibly

as possible.

WARNING

Connecting, inserting or removing an audio
source or data media while driving can dis-
tract your attention from the traffic and
cause an accident.

WARNING

Select volume settings that allow you to
easily hear signals from outside the vehicle

at all times (e.g. emergency services si-
rens).

●

Hearing may be impaired if using too high

a volume setting, even if only for short peri-
ods of time.

WARNING

The following circumstances may result in
an emergency call, phone call or data
transmission not being made or being inter-
rupted:

●

When in areas with zero or insufficient

mobile telephony or GPS signal. Also in
tunnels, confined areas between very tall
buildings, garages, underpasses, moun-
tains and valleys.

●

When in areas with sufficient mobile

phone or GPS signal, the telephony net-
work of the telecommunications provider
has interference or is not available.

●

When the vehicle components necessary

to make emergency calls, phone calls and
to transmit data are damaged, do not work
or do not have sufficient electrical power.

●

When the battery of the mobile phone

device is discharged or its charge level is
insufficient.

WARNING

In some countries and some telephone net-
works it is only possible to make an emer-
gency call, if a mobile telephone device is

connected to the telephone interface of
the vehicle, inside it there is an “unlocked”
SIM card with sufficient balance to make
calls and with sufficient network signal
coverage.

WARNING

Read and observe the operating instruc-
tions provided by the manufacturer in
question when using mobile phone devices,
data media, external devices, external au-
dio and multimedia sources.

WARNING

Position the connection cables of the audio
sources and external devices so that they
do not interfere with the driver.

WARNING

When changing or connecting an audio or
multimedia source may cause sudden
changes in the volume.

●

Lower the volume before connecting or

switching to audio or multimedia sources.

WARNING

If mobile phone and radiocommunication
devices are used without connection to an
external antenna, the maximum electro-
magnetic radiation levels inside the vehicle
might be surpassed, thus posing a risk to
the health of the driver and passengers.

144

Introduction

This is also the case if the external antenna
has not been correctly installed.

●

Keep a distance of at least 20 centime-

tres between the antennas of the mobile
phone device and an active medical de-
vice, such as a pacemaker, as mobile
phones might alter the functioning of these
devices.

●

Do not carry a mobile phone switched on

very close or directly on top of an active
medical device, for instance in a chest
pocket.

●

Immediately turn off the mobile phone if

you suspect it is causing interferences in an
active medical device or any other medical
device.

WARNING

Mobile phones, external devices and ac-
cessories that are loose or not properly se-
cured could move around the passenger
compartment during a sudden driving or
braking manoeuvre or an accident and
cause damage or injury.

●

Set mobile phone devices, external devi-

ces and their accessories outside the air-
bag deployment areas or store them se-
curely.

WARNING

The centre armrest may obstruct the driv-
er's arm movements, which could cause an
accident and severe injuries.

●

Keep the storage compartments of the

centre armrest closed at all times while the
vehicle is in motion.

WARNING

If the light conditions are not good and the
screen is damaged or dirty, the indications
and information displayed on the screen
may not be read or be read incorrectly.

●

The indications and information dis-

played on the screen should never induce
to take any risk that compromises safety.
The screen is not a replacement for driver
awareness.

WARNING

Radio stations can transmit disaster or haz-
ard announcements. The following condi-
tions prevent such notices from being re-
ceived or issued:

●

When in areas with zero or insufficient ra-

dio signal. Also in tunnels, confined areas
between very tall buildings, garages, un-
derpasses, mountains and valleys.

●

When the frequency bands of the radio

station have interference or are not availa-
ble in areas with sufficient radio signal re-
ception.

●

When the speakers and the vehicle com-

ponents necessary for radio reception are
damaged, do not work or do not have suffi-
cient electrical power.

●

When the infotainment is switched off.

WARNING

Switch off mobile phone devices in areas
with a risk of explosion!

WARNING

The driving recommendations and traffic
indications shown on the navigation system
may differ from the current traffic situation.

●

Traffic signs, signalling systems, traffic

regulations and local circumstances pre-
vail over driving recommendations and
navigation system indications.

●

Adapt your speed and driving style to suit

visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.

●

Certain circumstances can significantly

initially planned lengthen both the duration
of the trip and the route to the destination,
or even temporarily prevent navigation to
it, for example, if a road is closed to traffic.

Note

In areas where special regulations apply or
the use of mobile phones is forbidden, the
mobile device in question must be switched
off at all times. The radiation produced by

Introduction

General instructions for use

Operating indications

●

The infotainment needs a few seconds for

the complete start-up of the system and dur-
ing that time it does not react to inputs. Only
the image of the rear view camera system
can be displayed during system start-up.

●

The display of all indications and the exe-

cution of functions only takes place once the
infotainment system has finished booting. The
duration of the system booting depends on
the number of infotainment functions and
may take longer than normal in the event of
very high or very low temperatures.

●

When using the infotainment system and

corresponding accessories, e.g., head-
phones, bear in mind country-specific regu-
lations and legal provisions.

●

Some functions of the infotainment system

require an active SEAT CONNECT user ac-
count and an Internet connection for the ve-
hicle. The data transmission must not be limi-
ted to perform the functions.

●

To use the infotainment system, simply

lightly press a button or touch the screen.

●

For the correct operation of the infotain-

ment system it is important that it is switched
on and that, if necessary, the time and date
of the vehicle are set correctly.

●

If a function button is missing on the screen,

it is not a device defect, but corresponds to
the specific equipment of the country or ver-
sion.

●

Some infotainment functions can only be

selected when the vehicle is at a standstill. In
some countries, the selector lever must also
be in the parking position

or in neutral posi-

tion

. It is not a malfunction, but is due to

compliance with legal provisions.

●

Restrictions on the use of devices using

Bluetooth® technology may apply in some
countries. For further information, contact the
local authorities.

●

If you disconnect the 12-volt battery, turn

on the ignition before restarting the infotain-
ment system.

●

If the setup is changed, this may change

the display on the screen and in some cases,
the infotainment system may behave in a
manner different to that described in this in-
struction manual.

●

Ensure that any repairs or modifications

that need to be carried out on the infotain-
ment system are carried out by a specialised
workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT
dealership for this.

●

Using a mobile phone device inside the ve-

hicle may cause noise in the speakers.

●

In some countries, the infotainment system

automatically shuts off when the engine is

switched off and the vehicle's 12-volt battery
charge level is low.

●

On vehicles with park assist, the audio

source volume is automatically lowered when
reverse gear is selected, as well as when the
doors are opened. The volume reduction can
be adjusted.

●

Information about the included software

and the license conditions can be found in

Settings > Copyright

●

When selling or lending the vehicle, make

sure that all saved data, files and settings
have been deleted and, if necessary, external
audio sources and data media have been re-
moved.

Note

You will find more information and tips for
using the infotainment system in the Help
menu.
