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 conditioning operates most effective-
ly with the windows and the sunroof closed.
However, if the passenger compartment has
heated up after standing in the sun for some

159

Operation

time, the air inside can be cooled more quick-
ly by briefly opening the windows and the
sunroof.

Change the temperature unit (Climatron-
ic)

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



> 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).

●

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.

The Smart Heated Seats function requires a
period for learning usage habits. Information

about the start of the learning process is
shown in the seat heating submenu on the In-
fotainment display. Its evolution (LEARNING)
will also be shown during this process, until it
is complete (AUTO).

Seat heating level 3 (maximum) needs to be
used to ensure correct learning of habits.

It is advisable to use the seat heating at dif-
ferent ambient temperatures during the
learning period to ensure that the automatic
seat heating subsequently functions perfect-
ly.

Once the learning period is over, the heated
seats are turned on and their temperature
level adjusted automatically.

If you are not satisfied with the temperature
level provided by the system during automat-
ic regulation, adjust the seat heating manual-
ly and the function will be optimised (Opti-
mising). The optimisation process will be dis-
played in the seats submenu of the infotain-
ment display.

Operation

Auxiliary heating (additional
heating)

Introduction

The auxiliary heater runs on fuel from the ve-
hicle's tank and can be used while you are
driving and when the vehicle is stationary.

The auxiliary heating can be controlled
through the auxiliary heating menu in the In-
fotainment system, through the SEAT CON-
NECT mobile app, the MySEAT website or
with the remote control.

In winter, with the auxiliary heater switched
on, you can defog the windscreen and leave
it free of ice and snow (if it is a thin layer) be-
fore you start driving.

If the outside temperature is very high, the ve-
hicle interior can be ventilated with the en-
gine off using the auxiliary heater.

The maximum operating period of the park-
ing ventilation is 60 min.

WARNING

The auxiliary heater exhaust fumes contain
carbon monoxide, an odourless and colour-
less toxic gas. Carbon monoxide can cause
people to lose consciousness. It can also
cause death.

●

Never switch on the auxiliary heater or

leave it running in enclosed spaces or
areas with no ventilation.

●

Never programme the auxiliary heater so

that it switches itself on and is running in an
enclosed space or an area with no ventila-
tion.

WARNING

The components of the auxiliary heater are
extremely hot and could cause a fire.

●

Always park your vehicle so that no part

of the exhaust system can come in contact
with easily flammable materials that might
be below the vehicle, such as dried grass.

CAUTION

Never place food, medicines or other tem-
perature-sensitive objects close to the air
vents. Food, medicines and other objects
sensitive to heat or cold may be damaged
or made unsuitable for use by the air com-
ing from the vents.

Operation

Range

The receiver is inside the vehicle. The remote
control, when fitted with new batteries, has a
range of several hundred metres. Obstacles
between the remote control and the vehicle,
bad weather conditions and discharged bat-
teries can considerably reduce the range of
the remote control.

WARNING

Swallowing a battery with a 20 mm diame-
ter or any other button battery can cause
serious and even fatal injuries within a very
short time.

●

Always keep the remote control, keyrings

with batteries, the spare batteries, button
batteries and all other batteries over 20
mm out of reach of children.

●

If you suspect that someone may have

swallowed a battery, seek immediate med-
ical attention.

CAUTION

●

The radio frequency remote control con-

tains electronic components. Therefore,
avoid getting it wet and exposing it to
knocks or direct sunlight.

●

The use of inappropriate batteries may

damage the radio frequency remote con-
trol. For this reason, always replace the
used battery with another of the same volt-
age, size and specifications.

For the sake of the environment

●

Please dispose of your used batteries

correctly and with respect for the environ-
ment.

●

The remote control battery may contain

perchlorate. Observe the legal provisions
regarding disposal.

●

Care should be taken so as not to oper-

ate the remote control unintentionally so
as to prevent the auxiliary heater being
switched on accidentally.

Programming the auxiliary heater

The activation of the parking ventilation for a
scheduled time is only valid for a single venti-
lation process. The departure time must be
for each newly programmed ventilation proc-
ess.

Before programming the departure time, you
must check that the date and time of the car
are correctly set.

When programming a departure time, the car
automatically calculates, depending on the
environmental conditions, the necessary op-
erating time of the parking ventilation.

WARNING

Never programme the auxiliary heater so
that it switches itself on and is running in an
enclosed space or an area with no ventila-

tion. The auxiliary heater exhaust fumes
contain carbon monoxide, an odourless
and colourless toxic gas. Carbon monoxide
can cause people to lose consciousness. It
can also cause death.

Usage instructions

The auxiliary heater exhaust system located
below the vehicle must be kept clear of snow,
mud and other objects. The exhaust fumes
must be able to exit freely. The emissions
generated by the auxiliary heater are re-
moved via an exhaust pipe fitted underneath
the vehicle.

On heating the vehicle interior, depending on
the outside temperature, the warm air is first
directed at the windscreen and then to the
rest of the vehicle interior through the air
vents. Directing the diffusers – towards the
windows for example – can affect air distribu-
tion.

When the auxiliary heater is not switched
on

●

The auxiliary heater requires about as

much power as the dipped beam headlights.
If the 12-volt battery charge is too low, the
auxiliary heater switches off automatically
and cannot be switched on. This avoids prob-
lems when starting the engine.

166

Air conditioning

●

The heating must be activated every time

you want to set off. Similarly, the departure
time must reactivate each time.

●

The control lamp



(fuel level indicator)

lights up.

Note

●

Noises will be heard while the auxiliary

heater is running.

●

When the air humidity is high and the in-

side temperature low, condensation from
the heating and ventilating system may
evaporate when the auxiliary heater is
switched on. In this case, steam may be re-
leased from underneath the vehicle. This
does not mean that there is a vehicle mal-
function.

●

If the vehicle is tilted, e.g. if parked on a

slope, the operation of the auxiliary heater
may be restricted if the fuel tank level is
low (just above the reserve level).

●

If the auxiliary heater is used a number of

times for a long period of time, the 12-volt
battery will lose its charge. To recharge the
battery, the vehicle must be driven for a
number of kilometres from time to time. As
a guideline: the journey should last approx-
imately as long as the heater was connec-
ted.

●

At temperatures below +5 °C (+41 °F), the

auxiliary heater may switch itself on auto-
matically when the engine is switched on.
The auxiliary heater is switched off again
after a certain time.

Stationary air conditioning

Introduction

Valid for: hybrid vehicles.

With stationary air conditioning, the vehicle
interior can be cooled, ventilated or heated
while the vehicle is parked. It can also be
used to demist and remove ice or a thin layer
of snow from the windscreen. The stationary
air conditioning is powered by the vehicle’s
electrical socket or high-voltage battery.

Stationary air conditioning can be program-
med and controlled in the Infotainment sys-
tem in the

Battery Manager

menu, through

the SEAT CONNECT mobile App and on the

when the stationary air conditioning is run-
ning. In this case, steam may be released
from underneath the vehicle. This does not
mean that there is a vehicle malfunction.

Setting the stationary air condi-
tioning

Valid for: hybrid vehicles.

The stationary air conditioning can be set in
the Infotainment system for the scheduled
departure time. You can set the desired tem-
perature of the inside of the vehicle for the
vehicle’s planned departure time.

Based on the desired temperature, the vehi-
cle calculates the time that the stationary air
conditioning needs to be switched on to

reach the desired temperature at the depar-
ture time.

Vehicle air conditioning prior to departure

●

Open the

Battery Manager

menu.

●

Set the scheduled departure time.

●

Turn on the

air conditioning

and

charging

functions as needed.

If the two

air conditioning

and

charging

functions are on at the same time, the high-
voltage battery is charged first and then the
vehicle is air conditioned. The departure time
can only be enabled when one of the two
functions has been enabled.

If the charging connector is plugged in, the
vehicle starts cooling down around 30 mi-
nutes before the scheduled departure time. If
the vehicle is not ready to drive at the sched-
uled departure time, it will be cooled for a fur-
ther 15 minutes.

If the charging connector is not plugged in,
the air conditioning operating time is reduced
to 10 minutes. The operating time is extended
by 5 minutes if the vehicle is not ready to
drive.

The stationary air conditioning switches off
automatically.

Air conditioning

Extended stationary air conditioning

In the

Battery Manager

menu can be found

an option to add extended air conditioning.
This means if the vehicle is air conditioned
(either by being switched on immediately or
due to departure scheduling), the conven-
ience consumers, e.g. seat or rear window
heating may switch on automatically if con-
sidered necessary by the Climatronic (in cold
conditions) before the departure time.

Comfort consumers depend on features.

●

Open the

Battery Manager

menu.

●

Tap on the icons of the seats whose con-

venience consumers should be switched on
in addition to the stationary air conditioning.
The driver's seat icon always stays activated
by default (the driver's seat icon includes the
comfort consumers of seat heating and
steering wheel heating).

●

To turn on the rear window heating before

the departure time, switch on the

Automatic

rear window heating

function.

Immediate activation of the rear window
heating

The rear window heating can be switched
on/off using the SEAT CONNECT mobile app
or the MySEAT website, regardless of whether
or not the stationary air conditioning is
switched on.

Vehicle air conditioning when the vehicle
is unlocked (with the opening of a door)

●

Open the

Battery Manager

menu.

●

Touch settings.

●

Enable the

When unlocking the vehicle

function.

The vehicle’s air conditioning will switch on as
soon as it is unlocked.

Checking the schedule

When the ignition is switched off, the next ac-
tivated time and the configured functions are
displayed in the Infotainment system.

Safety instructions

Some function areas may include links to
third-party websites. SEAT, S.A. is not the
owner of the third-party websites accessible
through the links, and assumes no liability for
their content.

Some function areas may include outside in-
formation from third-party providers. SEAT,
S.A. is not responsible for such information
being correct, up-to-date or complete, or for
ensuring it does not infringe the rights of third
parties.

Radio stations and owners of data media and
audio sources are responsible for the infor-
mation they transmit.

Bear in mind that parking lots, tunnels, tall
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

The factory assembled radio with integra-
ted software is interconnected with the

Introduction

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.

171

Infotainment system

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
