Only undertake maintenance or repair work on the engine cooling system of your Seat Leon yourself if you are thoroughly familiar with the necessary procedures and universally applicable safety measures, and if you possess the appropriate professional tools, equipment, and certified operating fluids.

Maintenance work performed inadequately or incorrectly could lead to serious personal injuries and mechanical failure. In such cases, always entrust a specialized workshop to perform all required work. SEAT strongly recommends visiting an authorized SEAT dealership or service partner for professional coolant servicing.

WARNING Engine coolant is a toxic chemical substance! Direct contact with coolant, and particularly accidental ingestion, can cause serious, long-term health damage or fatal injuries.

• If coolant is accidentally swallowed, seek emergency medical assistance immediately.
• If your health is affected or you experience adverse symptoms after working with engine coolant, seek medical attention immediately.
• Always store engine coolant exclusively in its original, undamaged container, kept tightly closed and secured in a safe place.
• Never store motor coolant in empty food cans, beverage bottles, or other unlabelled containers, as someone might accidentally mistake it for a drink and ingest it.
• Always keep motor coolant strictly out of reach of children and pets.
• Avoid frequent or prolonged skin contact with coolant to prevent chemical irritation and skin damage.
• Always protect your skin, face, hands, and especially your eyes with appropriate personal protective equipment when handling coolant.
• Do not eat, drink, or smoke while working with engine coolant or handling cooling system components.
• Wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water immediately after working with coolant.

For the sake of the environment

Engine coolants and chemical additives can severely contaminate soil and water systems. If any operating fluid leaks or spills out, collect it carefully and dispose of it properly in an environmentally responsible manner.
