Air conditioning
WARNING
Never program the auxiliary heating to
switch on and operate in an enclosed or un-
ventilated space. The exhaust gases from
auxiliary heating contain carbon monoxide, a
toxic, colourless and odourless gas. Carbon
monoxide can cause loss of consciousness
and 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 gen-
erated by the auxiliary heater are removed 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. Di-
recting the vents – towards the windows for ex-
ample – can aect air distribution.
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 o automatically and cannot
be switched on. This avoids problems when
starting the engine.
●
The heating must be activated every time you
want to set o. 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 outside humidity is high and the
ambient temperature is low, condensation
from the heating and fresh air system may
evaporate when auxiliary heater is on. In this
case, steam may come out from under the
vehicle. This does not mean that there is an
fault in the vehicle.
●
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. In order to
recharge the battery, the vehicle must be
driven a few kilometres from time to time. As
a guide: the run should last approximately as
long as the heating has been switched on.
●
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 o again af-
ter a certain period of time.
Stationary air conditioning
Introduction
✓ Valid for: hybrid vehicles.
With the stationary air conditioning you can
cool, ventilate and heat the vehicle interior
while the vehicle is parked. In winter, you can
also demist the windscreen and leave it free of
ice and snow (if the layer is thin).
The stationary air conditioning is powered
through a socket or the vehicle’s high voltage
battery. The stationary air conditioning can be
programmed and controlled in the infotainment
system or via the My SEAT App.
You can find information about the app, its
availability and the necessary requirements for
its use, as well as compatible terminals, on the
Internet ›››page251.
NOTICE
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 coming
from the vents.
