Operation
Service interval display The service indication is shown on the dash
panel display
››› Fig. 34 4 .
SEAT distinguishes between services with en-
gine oi l
change (Interval Service) and serv-
ices without
engine oil change (Inspection
Service). The service interval display only
gives information for service dates which in-
volve an engine oil change. The dates for the
other services (e.g. the next Inspection Serv-
ice or change of brake fluid) are listed on the
label attached to the door strut, or in the
Maintenance Programme.
In vehicles with Services established by time
or mileage, the service intervals are already
pr e-defined.
In
vehicles with LongLife Service , the inter-
vals are determined individually. Technical
progress has made it possible to considera-
bly reduce servicing requirements. The tech-
nology used by SEAT ensures that your vehi-
cle only has an Interval Service when it is
necessary. To establish when the Interval
Service is due (max. 2 years), the vehicle's
conditions of use and individual driving
styles are considered. The service pre-warn-
ing first appears 20 days before the date es-
tablished for the corresponding service. The
kilometres (miles) remaining until the next
service are always rounded up to the nearest
100 km (miles) and the time is given in com-
plete days. The current service message can- not be viewed until 500 km after the last
service. Prior to this only lines are visible on
the display.
Inspection reminder
When the Service date is approaching, when
the ignition is switched on a
Service remind-
er
is displayed.
In
vehicles without text messages , a spanner
is displayed on the instrument panel with
a figure given in km. The number of kilome- tre
s shown is the maximum number that may
be driven until the next service. After a few
seconds, the display mode changes. A clock
symbol appears and the number of days until
the next service appointment is due.
In vehicles with text messages , Serv
ice in ---
km (miles) or --- days is displayed on the in- strument panel.
Service due
After the service date, an audible warning is
giv
en when the ignition is switched on and
the spanner displayed on the screen flashes
for a few seconds . In
vehicles with text
messages, Service in --- km or --- days is dis-
played on the instrument panel.
Reading a service notification
With the ignition switched on, the engine off
and the vehicle at a standstill, the current
service notification
can be read: ●
Press the button on the instrument pan-
el several times until the spanner symbol is
displayed
.
● OR:
select the Setting
s menu.
● From the
Service submenu, select the op-
tion Info.
When the service date has past , a minus
sign
is displayed in front of the number of kilome-
tres or days. In vehicles with text messages
the following is displayed: Service --- km
(miles) or --- days ago .
Resetting service interval display
If the service was not carried out by a techni-
cal service centre, the display can be reset as
follows:
In vehicles with text messages:
Select the Settings menu.
In the submenu Service, select the option Reset.
Confirm with OK when requested to do so by the sys-
tem.
In vehicles without text messages:
Switch the ignition off.
Press and hold the 0.0 / SET button.
Switch the ignition back on.44
Page 47 of 305
CockpitIn vehicles without text messages:
Release the
0.0 / SET button and, press for the next
20 seconds. Do not
reset the indicator to zero between
tw
o intervals, otherwise the display will be
incorrect.
If, while the LongLife service is valid, the
service interval display is reset to zero, the
“service will be activated by time or mile-
age”. The service interval is no longer calcu-
lated individually ›››
Booklet Maintenance
Programme. Note
● The service message disappears after a few
seconds, when the engine is started or when OK is pressed.
● In vehicles with the LongLife system in
which the battery has been disconnected for
a long period of time, it is not possible to cal-
culate the date of the next service. Therefore
the service interval display may not be cor-
rect. In this case, bear in mind the maximum
service intervals permitted in the ››› Book-
let Maintenance Programme. Control lamps
Control and warning lamps The control and warning lamps are indicators
of warnings,
››› , faults
››› or certain func-
tions. Some control and warning lamps come
on when the ignition is switched on, and
switch off when the engine starts running, or
while driving.
Depending on the model, additional text
messages may be viewed on the instrument
panel display. These may be purely informa-
tive or they may be advising of the need for
action ›››
page 40, Instruments .
D ependin
g upon the equipment fitted in the
vehicle, instead of a warning lamp, some-
times a symbol may be displayed on the in-
strument panel.
When certain control and warning lamps are
lit, an audible warning is also heard.

page 42 WARNING
If the warning lamps and messages are ignor-
ed, the vehicle may stall in traffic, or may
cause accidents and severe injuries.
● Never ignore the warning lamps or text
messages.
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
● Park the vehicle away from traffic and en-
sure that there are no highly flammable ma-
terials under the vehicle that could come into
contact with the exhaust system (e.g. dry
grass, fuel). ●
A faulty vehicle represents a risk of acci-
dent for the driver and for other road users. If
necessary, switch on the hazard warning
lamps and put out the warning triangle to ad-
vise other drivers.
● Before opening the bonnet, switch off the
engine and allow it to cool.
● In any vehicle, the engine compartment is a
hazardous area and could cause severe inju-
ries ››› page 214. CAUTION
Failure to heed the control lamps and text
messages when they appear may result in
faults in the vehicle. SEAT information system
Introduction With the ignition switched on, it is possible
to read the different functions of the display
by scrolling through the menus.
In vehicles with a multifunction steering
wheel, there are no buttons on the wind-
screen wiper lever. The multifunction display
can only be controlled from the buttons on
the steering wheel.
The number of menus displayed on the in-
strument panel will vary according to the ve-
hicle electronics and equipment.A specialised workshop will be able to pro-
gramme or modify additional functions, ac-
cording to the vehicle equipment. SEAT rec-
ommends taking your car in for technical
service.
Some menu options can only be read when
the vehicle is at a standstill.
As long as a priority 1 warning is displayed, it
will not be possible to read the menus. To
display the menus, confirm the warning by
pressing
OK .

Opening and closing
Vehicle keys
With the vehicle key ››› Fig. 39 or
›
›› Fig. 40
the
vehicle may be locked or unlocked re-
motely.
The vehicle key includes an emitter and bat-
teries. The receiver is in the interior of the ve-
hicle. The range of the vehicle key with re-
mote control and new batteries is several me-
tres around the vehicle.
If it is not possible to open or close the vehi-
cle using the remote control key, this should
be re-synchronised ››› page 57 or the bat-
tery changed ››› page 56.
Differ
ent keys belonging to the vehicle may
be used.
Folding the key shaft in and out
When the button is pressed A , the key shaft
is released and unfolds.
To fold it
press button A and fold the key
shaft in until it locks in place.
Replacing a key
To obtain a spare key and other vehicle keys,
the vehicle chassis number is required.
Each new key must contain a microchip and
be coded with the data from the vehicle elec-
tronic immobiliser. A vehicle key will not work
if it does not contain a microchip or the mi-
crochip has not been encoded. This is also
true for keys cut for the vehicle. The vehicle keys or new spare keys can be
obtained from a technical service centre, a
specialised workshop or approved key serv-
ice qualified to provide this kind of key.
New keys or spare keys must be synchron-
ised before use
››› page 57. WARNING
Careless or incorrect use of vehicle keys may
result in severe injury and accident.
● Always take all the keys with you whenever
you leave the vehicle. Children and unauthor-
ised individuals could lock the doors or the
boot hatch, start the engine or turn on the ig-
nition, activating electrical systems, the elec-
tric windows, for example.
● Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the car. They could be trapped in the
car in an emergency and will not be able to
get themselves to safety. For example, de-
pending on the time of the year, tempera-
tures inside a locked and closed vehicle can
be extremely high or extremely low resulting
in serious injuries and illness or even death,
particularly for young children.
● Never remove the key from the ignition if
the vehicle is in motion. The steering may
lock and it will not be possible to turn the
steering wheel. CAUTION
All of the vehicle keys contain electronic com-
ponents. Protect them from damage, impacts
and humidity. Note
● Only use the key button when you require
the corresponding function. Pushing the but-
ton unnecessarily could accidentally unlock
the vehicle or trigger the alarm. It is also pos-
sible even when you are outside the radius of
action.
● Key operation can be greatly influenced by
overlapping radio signals around the vehicle
working in the same range of frequencies
(e.g. radio transmitters, mobile telephones).
● Obstacles between the remote control and
the vehicle, bad weather conditions and
draining batteries can considerably reduce
the range of the remote control. 55

Opening and closing
Synchronising the vehicle key If the button
is pressed frequently outside
of the vehicle range, it is possible that the ve-
hicle can no longer be locked or unlocked us-
ing the key. In this case, the vehicle key must
be synchronised once more as follows:
● Unfold the vehicle key shaft ››› page 55.
● Remove the cover from the driver door han-
dle ››› page 259.
● Pr e
ss the button on the vehicle key. For
this, it must remain with the vehicle.
● Open the vehicle within one minute using
the key shaft.
● Turn on the ignition using the vehicle key.
The key has been synchronised.
● Replace the driver door handle cover.
Central locking and locking
system Introduction Central locking functions correctly when all
the doors and the rear lid are correctly shut.
If the driver door is open, the vehicle
cannot
be locked with the key.
If the vehicle has the Keyless Access closing
and ignition system, it may only be locked with the ignition off and the driver's door
closed.
The battery of an unlocked vehicle parked for
a long period (e.g. in a private garage) may
run down and fail to start the motor.
WARNING
The incorrect use of the central locking sys-
tem may cause serious injuries.
● The central locking system will lock all
doors. A vehicle locked from the inside can
prevent any non-authorised individual from
opening the doors and accessing the vehicle.
Nevertheless, in case of emergency or acci-
dent, locked doors will complicate access to
the vehicle interior to help the passengers.
● Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the vehicle. The central locking but-
ton can be used to lock all the doors from
within. Therefore, passengers will be locked
inside the vehicle. Individuals locked in the
vehicle can be exposed to very high or very
low temperatures.
● Depending on the time of the year, temper-
atures inside a locked and closed vehicle can
be extremely high or extremely low resulting
in serious injuries and illness or even death,
particularly for young children.
● Never leave individuals locked in a closed
and locked vehicle. In case of emergency,
they may not be able to exit the vehicle by
themselves or get help. Description of the central locking
system
The central locking system allows all doors
and the rear lid to be locked and unlocked
centrally.
● From outside, using the vehicle key.
● From outside with the Keyless Access sys-
tem ››› page 59,
● From in
side, by pushing the central locking
button ››› page 59
.
In the submenu Convenience in the Configura- tion menu, or by visiting a specialised work- shop, special functions of the central locking
system can be switched on or off ››› page 47.
In case of a vehicle key fault or central lock-
ing system fault, all doors can be locked or
unlocked manually.
Automatic locking (Auto Lock)
In this instance, the vehicle locks automati-
cally when moving at speeds above approx.
15 km/h (10 mph) ›››
