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
