Checking the level of the windscreen
washer reservoir and refilling it
Fig.229 In the engine compartment: blue cap
of the windscreen washer reservoir.
Check the water level in the windscreen washer
reservoir regularly and top up as required.
The windscreen washer reservoir contains liq-
uid detergent for the windscreen and rear win-
dow.
There is a sieve in the filler neck of the washer
fluid tank. When filling the tank, this sieve re-
tains large dirt particles so that they do not
reach the nozzles. Do not remove the sieve ex-
cept for cleaning. If the sieve is damaged or
not fitted, these dirt particles could enter the
system during filling and clog the windscreen
washer nozzles.

The windscreen washer reservoir is marked
with the symbol on the cap.
●
Check if there is enough fluid in the tank.
Plain water is not enough to clean the wind-
screen and headlights. We recommend that
you always add a product to the windscreen
washer fluid.
The capacity of the windscreen washer reser-
voir is approximately 3 litres.
NOTICE
If the water from the windscreen washer
does not contain enough antifreeze, it may
freeze on the windscreen and rear window,
reducing forward and rear visibility.
●
In winter, ensure the windscreen washer
contains enough antifreeze.
●
In cold conditions, you should not use the
windscreen wiper system unless you have
warmed the windscreen with the ventilation
system. The antifreeze could freeze on the
windscreen and reduce visibility.
NOTICE
Never mix an unsuitable antifreeze or other
similar additives with the windscreen washer
water. A greasy layer may be formed on the
windscreen which will impair visibility.
●
Use clean water with a window cleaner
recommended by SEAT.
●
If necessary, add a suitable antifreeze to
the water in the reservoir.
NOTICE
●
Do not mix cleaning products recommen-
ded by SEAT with other products. This could
lead to flocculation and may block the wind-
screen washer jets.
●
When topping up service fluids, make ab-
solutely certain that you fill the fluids into
the correct reservoirs. Using the wrong fluids
could cause serious malfunctions.
●
Lack of window washer fluid causes the
view through the windscreen to be obscured.
