The driver's front airbag is housed in the
steering wheel and that of the front passen-
ger, on the dash panel. Airbags are identified
by the word “AIRBAG”.

The airbag covers fold open and remain at-
tached to the steering wheel

when the driver and

front passenger airbags, respectively, are
triggered.

In conjunction with the seat belts, the front
airbag system gives the front occupants ad-
ditional protection for the head and chest in
the event of a severe frontal collision

›››

Their special design allows the controlled es-
cape of the propellant gas when an occu-
pant puts pressure on the bag. Thus, the
head and chest are protected by the airbag.
After the collision, the airbag deflates suffi-
ciently to allow visibility.

WARNING

●

The deployment space between the front

passengers and the airbags must not in
any case be occupied by other passenger,
pets and objects.

●

The airbags provide protection for just

one accident; replace them once they have
deployed.

●

It is also important not to attach any ob-

jects such as cup holders or telephone
mountings to the surfaces covering the air-
bag units.

only if you have to use a rear-facing child
seat in the front passenger seat.

Airbag system

SEAT recommends fitting the child seat in the
rear seat to avoid having to deactivate the
front passenger airbag.

When the front passenger airbag is

deacti-

vated

, this means that only the front passen-

ger front airbag is deactivated. All the other
airbags in the vehicle remain activated.

Deactivate and activate the front passen-
ger front airbag

●

Switch the ignition off.

●

Open the door on the front passenger side.

●

Insert the key into the slot of the switch for

deactivating the front passenger airbag

›››

Fig. 17

. About 3/4 of the key should enter;

this is as far as it will go.

●

Turn the key gently to change its position to



(deactivate) or to



(activate). If you have

difficulty, ensure that you have inserted the
key as far as it will go.

●

Close the front passenger door.

●

When deactivating the airbag, switch the

ignition on and check that the control lamp

control lamp does not light up and the





lamp lights up for 60 seconds and then turns
off.

WARNING

●

The driver of the vehicle is responsible for

disabling or switching on the airbag.

●

Always switch off the ignition before dis-

abling the front passenger airbag! Failure
to do so could result in a fault in the airbag
deactivation system.

●

Never leave the key in the airbag disa-

bling switch as it could get damaged or en-
able or disable the airbag during driving.

●

If for any reason an airbag is deactivated,

reactivate it as soon as possible so that it
can fulfil its protective function.

when it is deployed. Objects should never be
placed or mounted in this area.

WARNING

●

The knee airbag is deployed in front of

the driver's knees. Always keep the deploy-
ment areas of the knee airbags free.

●

Never not fix objects to the cover or in the

deployment area of the knee airbag.

●

Adjust the driver's seat so that there is a

distance of at least 10 cm (4 inches) be-
tween your knees and the location of the
this airbag. If your physical constitution

Safety

prevents you from meeting these require-
ments, make sure you contact a special-
ised workshop.

Side airbags

Fig. 21

Side airbag in driver's seat.

The side airbags are located in the driver's
seat and front passenger seat backrests

›››

Fig. 21

The locations are identified by the text “AIR-
BAG” in the lower region of the backrests.

In conjunction with the seat belts, the side air-
bags system gives additional protection for
the head and upper body in the event of a
severe side collision and, depending on the
features, also in the event of the vehicle over-
turning

›››

In a side collision, the side airbags reduce the
risk of injury to passengers to the areas of the
body facing the impact. In addition to their
normal protection, the seat belts also hold
the passengers in the event of a side collision;
this is how these airbags provide maximum
protection.

WARNING

●

If you do not wear a seat belt, if you lean

forward, or are not seated correctly while
the vehicle is in motion, you are at a greater
risk of injury if the side airbag system is
triggered in an accident.

●

In order for the side airbags to provide

their maximum protection, the prescribed
sitting position must always be maintained
with seat belts fastened while travelling.

●

In a side-on collision the side airbags will

not work if the sensors do not correctly
measure the pressure increase on the inte-
rior of the doors, due to air escaping
through the areas with holes or openings in
the door panel.

●

Never drive if the interior door panels

have been removed or if the panels have
not been correctly fitted.

●

Never drive the vehicle if the loudspeak-

ers in the door panels have been removed,
unless the holes left by the loudspeakers
have been closed properly.

●

Always check that the openings are

closed or covered if loudspeakers or other

equipment are fitted inside the door pan-
els.

●

Occupants of the outer seats must never

carry any objects or pets in the deploy-
ment space between them and the airbags,
or allow children or other passengers to
travel in this position. It is also important
not to attach any accessories (such as cup
holders) to the doors. This would impair the
protection offered by the side airbags.

●

The built-in coat hooks should be used

only for lightweight clothing. Do not leave
any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the
pockets.

●

Great forces, such as hard blows or kicks,

must not be exerted upon the backrest bol-
ster because the system may be damaged.
In this case, the side airbags would not be
triggered.

●

Under no circumstances should protec-

tive covers be fitted over seats with side
airbags unless the covers have been ap-
proved for use in your vehicle. Because the
airbag deploys from the side of the back-
rest, the use of conventional seat covers
would obstruct the side airbag, seriously
reducing the airbag's effectiveness.

●

Any damage to the original seat uphols-

tery or around the seams of the side airbag
units must be repaired immediately by a
specialised workshop.

●

The airbags provide protection for just

one accident; replace them once they have
deployed.

Airbag system

●

Any work on the side airbag system or re-

moval and installation of the airbag com-
ponents for other repairs (such as removal
of the front seat) should only be performed
by a specialised workshop. Otherwise,
faults may occur during the airbag system
operation.

Head-protection airbags

Fig. 22

Location of head-protection airbags.

The head-protection airbags are located on
both sides in the interior above the doors

›››

Fig. 22

and are identified with the text “AIR-

BAG”.

In conjunction with the seat belts, the head-
protection airbag system gives the vehicle
occupants additional protection for the head
and upper body in the event of a severe side
collision

›››

The area framed in red is covered by the
head-protection airbag when it is deployed

›››

Fig. 22

(deployment area). Therefore, ob-

jects should never be placed or mounted in
this area

›››

In the event of a side collision the head-pro-
tection airbag is triggered on the impact side
of the vehicle.

The head-protection airbags reduce the risk
of injury to passengers in the front and rear
side seats facing the impact.

WARNING

●

In order for the head-protection airbags

to provide their maximum protection, the
prescribed sitting position must always be
maintained with seat belts fastened while
travelling.

●

For safety reasons, the head-protection

airbag must be disabled in those vehicles
fitted with a screen dividing the interior of
the vehicle. See your technical service to
make this adjustment.

●

There must be no other persons, animals

or objects between the occupants of the
outer seats and the deployment space of
the head-protection airbags so that the
head-protection airbag can deploy com-
pletely without restriction and provide the
greatest possible protection. Therefore,
sun blinds which have not been expressly
approved for use in your vehicle may not be
attached to the side windows.

●

The built-in coat hooks should be used

only for lightweight clothing. Do not leave
any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the
pockets. Please, do not hang the clothes on
coat hangers.

●

The airbags provide protection for just

one accident; replace them once they have
deployed.

●

Any work on the head-protection airbag

system or removal and installation of the
airbag components for other repairs (such
as removal of the roof lining) should only
be performed by a specialised workshop.
Otherwise, faults may occur during the air-
bag system operation.

●

The side and head airbags are managed

through sensors located in the interior of
the front doors. To ensure the correct oper-
ation of the side and head-protection air-
bags neither the doors nor the door panels
should be modified in any way (e.g. fitting
loudspeakers). If the front door is dam-
aged, the airbag system may not work cor-
rectly. All work carried out on the front door
must be done in a specialised workshop.

safely

Child safety

Introduction

For safety reasons, as we have learned from
accident statistics, we recommend that chil-
dren under 12 years of age travel in the rear
seats. Depending on their age, height and
weight, children travelling in rear seats must
use a child seat or a seat belt. For safety rea-
sons, the child seat should be installed in the
rear seat, behind the front passenger seat or
in the centre back seat.

The physical laws involved and the forces
acting in a collision apply also to children

›››

page 19

. But unlike adults, children do not

have fully developed muscle and bone struc-
tures. This means that children are subject to
a greater risk of injury.

To reduce the risk of injuries, children must al-
ways use special child restraint systems
when travelling in the vehicle.

We recommend the use of child safety prod-
ucts from the SEAT Original Accessories Pro-
gramme, which includes systems for all ages
made by “Peke” (not for all countries) (see
www.seat.com).

These systems have been especially de-
signed and approved, complying with the
ECE-R44. regulation.

SEAT recommends securing the child seats
shown on the website as described below:

●

Child seats in the opposite direction of trav-

el (group 0+): ISOFIX and support peg (RO-
MER BABY SAFE PLUS SHR II + ISOFIX BASE /
PEKE G0 I-SIZE + I-SIZE BASE).

●

Child seats in the direction of travel (group

1): ISOFIX and Top Tether (ROMER DUO PLUS
+ TOP TETHER / PEKE G1 TRIFIX I-SIZE).

●

Child seats directed towards the front of

the vehicle (group 2): safety belt and ISOFIX
(ROMER KIDFIX XP).

●

Child seats directed towards the front of

the vehicle (group 3): safety belt and ISOFIX
(ROMER KIDFIX XP).

Follow the manufacturer's instructions and
observe any statutory requirements when in-
stalling and using child seats. Always read
and note

›››

page 33

We recommend you always carry the manu-
facturer's Child Seat Instruction Manual to-
gether with the on-board documentation.

Child seats group classification

Fig. 23

Examples of child seats.

Use only child seats that are officially ap-
proved and suitable for the child.

These seats are subject to the ECE-R44 or
ECE-R129 standards. ECE-R stands for: Eco-
nomic Commission for Europe Regulation.

Child seats by weight group

The child seats are grouped into 5 catego-
ries:

Age group

Weight of the child

Group 0

Up to 10 kg

Group 0+

Up to 13 kg

Group 1

From 9 to 18 kg

Group 2

From 15 to 25 kg

Group 3

From 22 to 36 kg

Transporting children safely

Child seats that have been tested and ap-
proved under the ECE R44 or ECE-R129
standards bear the ECE-R44 or ECE-R129
test marks on the seat (the letter E in a circle
with the test number below it).

Follow the manufacturer's instructions and
observe any statutory requirements when in-
stalling and using child seats.

We recommend you to always include the
manufacturer's Child Seat Instruction Manual
together with the on-board documentation.

SEAT recommends you use child seats from
the

Original Accessories Catalogue

. These

child seats have been designed and tested
for use in SEAT vehicles. You can find the right
child seat for your model and age group at
SEAT dealers.

Child seats by approval category

Child seats may have the approval category
of universal, semi-universal, vehicle specific
(all according to the ECE-R44 standard) or i-
Size (according to the ECE-R129 standard).

●

Universal

: child seats with universal appro-

val can be installed in all vehicles. There is no
need to consult any list of models. In the case
of universal approval for ISOFIX, the child
seat is additionally provided with a Top Tether
belt.

●

Semi-universal

: semi-universal approval,

in addition to the standard requirements of

universal approval, requires safety devices to
lock the child seat, which require additional
testing. Child seats with semi-universal ap-
proval include a list of vehicle models for
which they can be installed.

●

Vehicle-specific

: vehicle-specific approval

requires a dynamic test of the child seat for
each vehicle model separately. Child seats
with vehicle-specific approval also include a
list of vehicle models for which they can be
installed.

●

i-Size

: child seats with i-Size approval must

meet the requirements set out in the ECE-
R129 standard in relation to installation and
safety. Child seat manufacturers can tell you
which seats have i-Size approval for this vehi-
cle.

Warnings about fitting a child seat

Take the following general warnings into ac-
count if you are going to fit a child seat. They
are valid for all child seats regardless of their
attachment system.

●

Please read and follow the child seat man-

ufacturer's operating instructions.

●

The child seat should preferably be fitted to

the rear seat behind the front passenger seat
so that the child can exit the vehicle on the
pavement side.

●

Set the height of the seat belt such that it

adapts to the child seat naturally, without
twisting. The lowest position of the seat belt
height regulator must be used with rear-fac-
ing child seats.

Safety

●

To correctly use a child seat in the back,

the front backrest must be adjusted so that
there is no contact with the child seat in the
back in the case that it goes opposite to the
direction of the car. In the case of front facing
restraint systems, the front backrest must be
adjusted so that there is no contact with the
child's feet.

●

If a semi-universal type chair is to be instal-

led, in which the method of attachment to the
car is through the seat belt and support
bracket, it should never be installed in the
central rear seat as the ground clearance is
lower than in other places and the support
bracket will not allow the seat to remain suffi-
ciently stable.

●

For a correct assembly of the children's

seat on the second row, adjust or dismount
the headrest, in order to prevent contact with
the chair.

●

When fitting a child seat on the front pas-

senger seat, the seat must be moved back-
wards as far as possible and placed in the
highest position. The backrest must also be
put in a vertical position

Important information about the front pas-
senger front airbag

A sticker with important information about the
passenger airbag is located on the passeng-
er's sun visor and/or on the passenger side
door frame

›››

Fig. 24

Read and always observe the safety informa-
tion included in the following chapters:

●

Safety distance with respect to the passen-

ger airbag

›››

page 25

●

Objects between the passenger and the

passenger side airbag

›››

in Front airbags

on page 28

The passenger side front airbag, when ena-
bled, is a serious risk for a child that is facing
backward since the airbag can strike the seat
with such force that it can cause serious or
fatal injuries. Children up to 12 years old
should always travel on the rear seat.

Therefore we strongly recommend you to
transport children on the rear seats. This is
the safest location in the vehicle. Alternative-
ly, the front passenger airbag can be disa-
bled with a key-operated switch

›››

page 28

When transporting children, use a child seat
suitable for the age and size of each child

›››

page 32

WARNING

●

If a child seat is secured to the front pas-

senger seat, the risk to the child of sustain-
ing critical or fatal injuries in the event of an
accident increases.

●

An inflating front passenger airbag can

strike the rear-facing child seat and project
it with great force against the door, the roof
or the backrest.

●

Never install a child seat facing back-

wards on the front passenger seat unless
the front passenger front airbag has been
disabled. Risk of potentially fatal injuries to
the child! However, if necessary, the front
passenger front airbag must be deactiva-
ted

›››

page 28

. If the passenger seat has a

height adjustment option, move it to the
highest, most upright position. If you have a
fixed seat, do not install any child restraint
system in this location.

●

For those vehicles that do not include a

key lock switch to deactivate the airbag,
the vehicle must be taken to a technical
service. Do not forget to reconnect the air-
bag when an adult wants to sit in the front
passenger seat.

●

Never allow a child to be transported in a

vehicle without being properly secured, or
to stand up or kneel on a seat while

Compliance with current national legislation

and the manufacturer's instructions is required
when using or installing child seats.

Transporting children safely

travelling. In an accident, the child could
be flung through the vehicle, causing possi-
bly fatal injuries to themselves and to the
other vehicle occupants.

●

Never leave a child alone in the child seat

or in the vehicle.

●

Children who are less than 1.5 metres tall

must not wear a normal seat belt without a
child seat, as this could cause injuries to
the abdominal and neck areas during a
sudden braking manoeuvre or in an acci-
dent.

●

When a child seat is mounted in the rear

seats, the door child-proof lock should be
activated

›››

page 106

Attachment systems

Depending on the country, different attach-
ment systems are used for safely installing
child seats.

Attachment systems overview

●

ISOFIX

: ISOFIX is a standardised attach-

ment system allowing quick and safe attach-
ment of child seats in the vehicle. ISOFIX at-

tachment establishes a rigid connection be-
tween the child seat and the car body.

The child seat has two rigid attachment clips,
called connectors. These connectors are fit-
ted into the ISOFIX attachment rings found
between the seat cushion and the backrest
of the vehicle's back seat (on the sides). ISO-
FIX attachment systems are used mainly in
Europe

›››

page 36

. If necessary, ISOFIX at-

tachment may have to be supplemented with
a Top Tether belt or a support bracket.

●

Automatic three-point seat belt

. When-

ever possible, it is preferable to attach the
child seats with the ISOFIX system rather than
attaching them with an automatic three-point
seat belt

›››

page 40

Additional attachment:

●

Top Tether

: the Top Tether belt is guided

over the back of the rear seat and attached
to an anchor point with a hook. Anchor points
are located at the back of the rear seat back-
rest on the boot side

›››

page 39

. The rings

for retaining the Top Tether belt are marked
with an anchor symbol.

●

Support bracket

: some child seats rest on

the floor of the vehicle with a support bracket.
The support bracket prevents the child seat
from tipping forward in the event of impact.
Child seats fitted with a support bracket
should only be used in the passenger seat
and side rear seats

›››

. For the assembly of

this type of seat you should also consult the
list of approved vehicles for this assembly,
available in the instructions for child restraint
systems.

Recommended systems for attaching
child seats

SEAT recommends attaching child seats as
follows:

●

Baby carriers or child seats in the oppo-

site direction of travel:

ISOFIX and support

bracket or i-Size.

●

Child seats in the direction of travel:

ISO-

FIX and Top Tether.

WARNING

Incorrect use of the support bracket can
cause serious or fatal injury.

●

Make sure the support bracket is correct-

ly and safely installed.

Child seats with the Top Tether system come
with a strap for securing the seat to the vehi-
cle anchor point and provide greater re-
straint.

The objective of this strap is to reduce for-
ward movements of the child seat in a crash,
to reduce the risk of injuries to the head from
hitting the inside of the vehicle.

Using the Top Tether in rear-facing moun-
ted seats

Currently, there are very few rear-facing child
safety seats that have Top Tether. Please
carefully read and follow the seat manufac-
turer instructions to learn the proper way to
install the Top Tether strap.

Securing the retainer strap

●

Follow the manufacturer's instructions to

deploy the child seat Top Tether retaining
strap.

●

Information call

With the information call, a call is made to
SEAT, S.A. customer service.



Assistance call

With the assistance call you can directly re-
quest specialised help in the event of a
breakdown.

Parallel to the voice call, some vehicle data is
transmitted, e.g. your current location.



Emergency call service

If an emergency call is conducted manually
or activated automatically in the event of an
accident with an airbag triggering, informa-
tion relevant to the emergency is broadcast,
e.g. the current location of the vehicle

page 375

If the call is public, the person on the other
end of the line uses the language of the
country in which you are located.

If the call is private, the person on the other
end of the line will assist you in the language
you have configured in the Infotainment sys-
tem. If the configured language is not availa-
ble, English will be used.

Diversion to 112 emergency number

In some situations where the emergency call
service is limited or cannot be carried out, an
emergency call is made to 112.

Only available in certain countries.

Self-help

The following conditions may cause the
emergency call service to function in a limi-
ted manner or the call to be diverted to the
112 emergency number:

●

The emergency call is made from an area

with weak or no mobile and GPS signal, as
well as e.g. tunnels, between very tall build-
ings, garages, underground walkways, moun-
tains and valleys.

●

In areas with sufficient mobile telephone

and GPS coverage, the mobile telephone
network of the telecommunications operator
in question may not be available.

●

In some countries, the emergency call serv-

ice may not be available due to legal rea-
sons. There is no valid license for the use of
the emergency call service.

●

The components of the vehicle required for

the emergency phone call are damaged or
do not get enough power.

●

In some countries, the emergency call serv-

ice may not be available and depending on
the location of the vehicle, the control lamp
LEDs, and even the operation of the different
types of calls, could have a specific behav-
iour.

Note

Breakdown service and information calls
can incur an additional cost on your tele-
phone bill.
