WARNING
This manual contains important informa-
tion about the oper
ation of the vehicle,
both for the driver and the passengers. The
other sections of the on-board documenta-
tion also contain further information that
you should be aware of for your own safety
and for the safety of your passengers.
Ensure that the on-board documentation
is kept in the vehicle at all times. This is es-
pecially important when lending or selling
the vehicle to another person.
Before driving
For your own safety and the safety of your
passengers, al
w
ays not
e the f
oll
owing points
before every trip:
Make sure that the vehicle's lights and turn
signals are working properly.
Check tyre pressure.
Ensure that all windows provide a clear and
good view of the surroundings.
Make sure all luggage is secured
››
page 129.
Make sure that no objects can interfere with
the pedals.
Adjust front seat, headrest and mirrors
properly according to your size.
Ensure that the passengers in the rear seats
always have the headrests in the in-use po-
sition
››
page 124.
Instruct passengers to adjust the headrests
according to their height.
Protect children with appropriate child
seats and properly applied seat belts

Factors influencing safety
As a driver, you are responsible for yourself
and your passengers.
Al
w
ays pay att
ention t
o tr
affic and do not
get distracted by passengers or telephone
calls.
Never drive when your driving ability is im-
paired (e.g. by medication, alcohol, drugs).
Observe traffic laws and speed limits.
Always reduce your speed as appropriate
for road, traffic and weather conditions.
When travelling long distances, take breaks
regularly - at least every two hours.
If possible, avoid driving when you are tired
or stressed.
WARNING
Driving under the influence of alcohol,
drugs, medication or narcotics may result
in sever
e accidents and even loss of life.
Alcohol, drugs, medication and narcotics
may significantly alter perception, affect
reaction times and safety while driving,
which could result in the loss of control of
the vehicle.
Safety equipment
Never put your safety or the safety of your
passengers in danger
. In the e
v
ent of an acci-
dent, the saf
et

Safety
risk of injury. The following points cover part
of the saf
et
y equipment in your SEAT
1)
:
thr
ee-point seat belts,
belt t
ension limit
ers for the front and rear
side seats,
belt tensioners for the front and rear side
seats*,
front airbags,
side airbags in the front seat backrests,
head-protection airbags,
“ISOFIX” anchor points for child seats on
the rear side seats with the “ISOFIX” system,
height-adjustable front headrests,
rear headrests with in-use position and
non-use position,
adjustable steering column.
The safety equipment mentioned above
works together to provide you and your pas-
sengers with the best possible protection in
the event of an accident. However, these
safety systems can only be effective if you
and your passengers are sitting in a correct
position and use this equipment properly.
Safety is everyone's business!
Correct sitting position of
vehicle occupants
Correct position on the seat
Fig. 3 The correct distance between the driver
and the st
eering wheel must be at l

If your physical constitution prevents you
from maintaining the correct sitting position,
contact a specialised workshop for help with
any special devices. The seat belt and airbag
can only provide optimum protection if a cor-
rect sitting position is adopted. SEAT recom-
mends taking your car in for technical serv-
ice.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of
injury in the event of an accident or sudden
braking or manoeuvre, SEAT recommend the
following positions:
Valid for all vehicle occupants:
Adjust the headrest so that its upper edge is
at the same level as the top of your head, or
as close as possible to the same level as the
top of your head and under no circumstances
below eye level. Keep the back of your neck
as close as possible to the headrest
››
Fig. 4.
Short people must lower the headrest com-
pletely, even if your head is below its upper
edge.
Tall people must raise the headrest com-
pletely.
Always keep your feet in the footwell while
the vehicle is in motion.

The following also applies to the driver:
Move the seat backrest to an almost up-
right position so that your back rests com-
pletely against it.
Move the steering wheel so it is at least
25 cm (10 inches) away from the sternum
››
Fig. 3 and you can hold it with both hands
on both sides, on the outer part, with your
arms slightly bent.
The steering wheel must always point to-
wards the chest and never towards the face.
Move the seat in such a way that you can
step on the pedals with your knees slightly
bent and with a distance between the knees
and the dashboard of at least 10 cm (4 in-
ches)
››
Fig. 3.
Adjust the height of the seat so that you
can reach the top of the steering wheel.
Always keep both feet in the footwell so
that you have the vehicle under control at all
times.
For the passenger, the following applies:
Move the seat backrest to an almost up-
right position so that your back rests com-
pletely against it.
Move the seat as far back as possible (mini-
mum 25 cm between the chest and the dash-
board check translation). If you are sitting
closer than 25 cm, the airbag system cannot
protect you properly.
Number of seats
The vehicle has 5 seats, 2 in the front and 3 in
the rear. All seats are equipped with a saf
ety
belt.
WARNING
Sitting in an incorrect position may in-
crease the risk of severe or l
ethal injuries in
the event of sudden braking or manoeu-
vring, in case of collision or accident and if
the airbags deploy.
Before starting the car, all passengers
must be sitting in a correct position and
stay like that for the entire journey. This al-
so applies to a correct use of the seat belt.
The maximum amount of people in the
vehicle is the same as the amount of seats
with seat belts.
For children, always use a certified pro-
tection system, certified and suited for their
weight and height
››
page 28.
While driving, always keep your feet in
the footwell. Never place them over the
seat or the dashboard, for example, or out-
side the window. Otherwise the airbag and
seat belt may offer insufficient protection
and also increase the risk of injury in the
event of an accident.
Risks of sitting in an incorrect posi-
tion
If seat belts are worn incorrectly or not at all,
the risk of severe or lethal injuries incr
eases.
Seat belts can provide optimal protection on-
ly if the belt web is properly worn. Incorrect
sitting positions substantially reduce the pro-
tective function of seat belts and, therefore,
increase the risk of severe or even lethal inju-
ries. The risk of severe or fatal injuries is espe-
cially heightened when a deploying airbag
strikes a vehicle occupant who has assumed
an incorrect sitting position. The driver is re-
sponsible for all people, particularly children,
inside the vehicle.
The following list contains examples of incor-
rect sitting positions that could be dangerous
for all vehicle occupants.
When the vehicle is in motion:
Never stand in the vehicle.
Never stand on the seats.
Never kneel on the seats.
Never tilt your seat backrest too far to the
rear.
Never l
ean against the dash panel.

WARNING
Sitting in an incorrect position increases
the risk of severe or fat
al injuries in the
event of accidents and sudden braking or
manoeuvres.
All occupants must sit correctly during
the journey and wear the seat belt correct-
ly.
Occupants of the vehicle that are not sit-

are not at a proper distance of the airbag
risk suffering very serious or lethal injuries,
especially if the airbags deploy and strike
them.

sure the steering wheel does not acciden-
tally change position while driving.
Never adjust the steering wheel while the
v
ehicle is in motion. If you need to adjust
the steering wheel while the vehicle is in
motion, stop safely and make the proper
adjustment.
The adjusted steering wheel should be
facing your chest and not your face so as
not to hinder the driver's front airbag pro-
tection in the event of an accident.
When driving, always hold the steering
wheel with both hands on the outside of the
ring at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions
to reduce injuries when the driver's front
airbag deploys.
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12
o'clock position or in any other manner
(e.g. in the centre of the steering wheel). In
such cases, if the driver's airbag deploys,
you may sustain injuries to your arms,
hands and head.

The protective function of seat
belts
Fig. 7
Drivers with properly worn seat belts will
not be thr

orw
ar
d in the event of sudden
braking.
Properly worn seat belts hold the occupants
in the pr
oper position. They al
so help pr
e
v
ent
uncontrolled movements that may result in
serious injury and reduce the risk of being
thrown out of the vehicle in case of an acci-
dent.
Vehicle occupants wearing their seat belts
correctly benefit greatly from the ability of
the belts to absorb kinetic energy. In addition,
the front part of your vehicle and other pas-
sive safety features (such as the airbag sys-
tem) are designed to absorb the kinetic ener-
gy released in a collision. Taken together, all
these features reduce the releasing kinetic
energy and consequently, the risk of injury.
This is why it is so important to fasten seat
belts before every trip, even when "just driving
around the corner".
Ensure that your passengers wear their seat
belts as well. Accident statistics have shown
that wearing seat belts is an effective means
of substantially reducing the risk of injury and
improving the chances of survival when in-
volved in a serious accident. Furthermore,
properly worn seat belts improve the protec-
tion provided by airbags in the event of an
accident. For this reason, wearing a seat belt
is required by law in most countries.
Although your vehicle is equipped with air-
bags, the seat belts must be fastened and
worn. The front airbags, for example, are only
triggered in some cases of head-on collision.
The front airbags will not be triggered during
minor frontal or side collisions, rear-end colli-
sions, overturns or accidents in which the air-
bag trigger threshold value in the control unit
is not exceeded.
Important safety instructions for
the use of seat belts
Always wear the seat belt as described in
this section.
Ensur
e that the seat belts can be f
ast
ened
at all times and ar
e not damaged.
WARNING
If seat belts are worn incorrectly or not at
all, the risk of sev
ere injuries increases. The
optimal protection from seat belts can be
achieved only if you use them properly.
Never allow two passengers (even chil-
dren) to share the same seat belt.
Never unbuckle a seat belt while the ve-
hicle is in motion. Risk of fatal injury.
The seat belt should never lie on hard or
fragile objects (such as glasses or pens,
etc.) because this can cause injuries.
Do not allow the seat belt to be damaged
or jammed, or to rub on any sharp edges.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm or
in any other incorrect position.
Bulky and unfastened clothing (such as
an overcoat over a sweater) impairs the
proper fit and function of the seat belts, re-
ducing their capacity to protect.
The slot in the seat belt buckle must not
be blocked with paper or other objects, as
this can prevent the latch plate from en-
gaging securely.
Never use seat belt clips, fastening rings
or similar items to alter the position of the
belt webbing.
Frayed or torn seat belts or damage to
the connections, belt retractors or parts of
16
Seat belts
the buckle could cause severe injuries in
the event of an accident. Therefor
e, you
must check the condition of all seat belts
at regular intervals.
Seat belts which have been worn in an
accident and have been stretched must be
replaced by a specialised workshop. Re-
newal may be necessary even if there is no
apparent damage. The belt anchorage
should also be checked.
Do not attempt to repair a damaged seat
belt yourself. The seat belts must not be re-
moved or modified in any way.
The belts must be kept clean, otherwise
the retractors may not work properly.
Head-on collisions and the laws of
physics

A driver not wearing a seat belt is thrown

orw
ar

ently.
Fig. 9 The unbelted passenger in the rear seat
is thrown forwar
d violently, hitting the driver
who is wearing a seat belt.
The effects of the laws of physics in the case
of a head-on collision ar
e easy t
o e
xpl
ain: the
moment a v
ehicle starts moving, a type of en-
ergy called “kinetic energy” starts acting on
both the vehicle and its passengers.
The amount of “kinetic energy” depends on
the speed of the vehicle and on the weight of
the vehicle and of its passengers. The higher
they are, the more energy there is to be “ab-
sorbed” in the event of an accident.
The most significant factor, however, is the
speed of the vehicle. If the speed doubles
from 25 km/h (15 mph) to 50 km/h (30 mph),
for example, the corresponding kinetic ener-
gy is multiplied by four.
Given that the passengers of the vehicle in
our example do not have their seat belts fas-
tened, in the event of a collision the entire
amount of the passengers' kinetic energy will
be only absorbed by the mentioned impact.
Even at speeds of 30 km/h (19 mph) to
50 km/h (30 mph), the forces acting on bod-
ies in a collision can easily exceed one tonne
(1000 kg). At greater speed these forces are
even higher.
Vehicle occupants not wearing seat belts are
not “attached” to the vehicle. In a head-on
collision, they will move forward at the same
speed their vehicle was travelling just before
the impact. This example applies not only to
head-on collisions, but to all accidents and
collisions.
Even at low speeds the forces acting on the
body in a collision are so great that it is not
possible to brace oneself with one's hands. In
a frontal collision, unbelted passengers are
thrown forward and will make violent contact
with the steering wheel, dash panel, wind-
screen or whatever else is in the way
››
Fig. 8.
It is also important for rear passengers to
wear seat belts properly, as they could other-
wise be thrown forward violently through the
vehicle interior in an accident. Passengers in
the rear seats who do not use seat belts en-
danger not only themselves but also the front
occupants

est is in an up-
right position and the seat belt is worn cor-
rectly, according to your size.
Unbuckling your seat belt while the vehi-
cle is in motion can cause severe or fatal
