The system runs a check on certain compo-
nents
and f
u
nctions when the ignition is
switched on and while the vehicle is moving.
Faults in the operation are displayed on the
screen using red and yellow symbols and
messages on the instrument panel display
( ›››

››› page 44) and, in
some cases, with audible warnings. The dis-
play may vary according to the type of instru-
ment panel fitted.

The temperatures measured range from
-40°C to +50°C (-40°F to +122°F).
Engine oil temperature display The engine reaches its operating temperature
when in normal
driv
ing conditions the oil
temperature is between 80°C (178°F) and
120°C (248°F). If the engine is required to
work hard and the outside temperature is
high, the engine oil temperature can in-
crease. This does not present any problem as
long as the warning lamps ››› table on
page 46 or ››› table on page 46 do not
appear on the display.

Saving tips Tips on how to save fuel will be displayed in
c

s
that increase fuel consumption.
Follow them to reduce consumption. The indi-
cations appear automatically only with the ef-
ficiency programme. After a time, the tips will
disappear automatically.
If you wish to hide a saving tip immediately
after it appears, press any button on the
windscreen wiper lever*/multifunction steer-
ing wheel*. Note
● If y
ou hide a saving tip, it will reappear af-
ter you switch the ignition on again.
● The saving tips do not appear in all situa-
tions, but
rather with a large separation of
time. Speed warning device
The speed warning device warns the driver
when they h
av
e exceeded the pre-set speed
limit by 3 km/h (2 mph). An audible warning
signal sounds, and the warning lamp and
the driver message Speed limit excee-
ded! will be displayed simultaneously on the
instrument panel. The warning lamp
switches off when reducing speed below the
stored maximum limit.
Speed warning programming is recommen-
ded if you wish to be reminded of a maxi-
mum speed, such as when travelling in a
country with different speed limits or for a
maximum speed for winter tyres.
Setting speed limit warning
You can use the radio or the Easy Connect* to
set, alter or cancel the speed limit warning.
● Vehicles with radio : pres
s the button SETUP > control button Driver Assistant
>

● Vehicle
s
with Easy Connect : press the but-
ton Systems or else Vehicle systems >
Driver assistant > Speed warning.
The warning limit can be set from 30 to
240 km/h (20 to 149 mph). The adjustment
is made at 10 km/h (5 mph) intervals. Note
● Ple a
se bear in mind that, even with the
speed warning function, it is still important
to keep an eye on the vehicle speed with the
speedometer and to observe the legal speed
limits.
● The speed limit warning function in the ver-
sion for some c
ountries warns you at a speed
of 120 km/h (75 mph). This is a factory-set
speed limit. Service intervals
Fig. 48

S EA
T di
stinguishes between services with en-
gine oil change (e.g. Oil change service) and
services without engine oil change (e.g. In-
spection).
In vehicles with Services established by time
or mileage, the service intervals are already
pre-defined.
In vehicles with LongLife Service , the inter-
vals are determined individually. Thanks to
technological progress, maintenance work
has been greatly reduced. Because of the
technology used by SEAT, with this service
you only need to change the oil when the ve- hicle so requires. To calculate this change
(max. 2 y
ears), the vehicle's conditions of
use and individual driving styles are consid-
ered. The advance warning first appears 20
days before the date established for the cor-
responding 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 complete days. The
current service message cannot 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.
Vehicles without text messages : a span-
ner will be displayed on the instrument
panel plus an indication in km.
The kilometres indicated are the maximum
number of kilometres that can be travelled
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 is due.
Vehicles with text messages : Service in
--- km or --- days will be shown on the
instrument panel display. » 41

The essentials
Service due
When the ser v
ic
e date is due, an audible
warning is given when the ignition is switch-
ed on and the spanner displayed on the
screen flashes for a few seconds .
Vehicles with text messages : Service now
will be shown on the instrument panel dis-
play.
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 and hold the button 2 for more than 5
sec ond
s
to consult the service message.
When the service date has passed , a minus
sign is displayed in front of the number of kil-
ometres or days.
Vehicles with text messages : the following
message is displayed: Service --- km
(miles) or --- days ago .
The time can also be set via the button
and the S
ET
TINGS function button in the Easy
C onnect
sy
stem ››› page 33. Resetting service interval display
If the serv
ice was not carried out by a SEAT
dealership, the display can be reset as fol-
lows:
● Switch off the ignition, press and hold but-
ton 2 .
● Switch ignition back on.
● Release the 2 button and press it again
f or the ne
xt
20 seconds. Note
● The serv ic
e message disappears after a few
seconds, when the engine is started or when OK/RESET is pressed on the windscreen wiper
lev er
, or OK on the multifunction steering
wheel.
● In v
ehicles with the LongLife system in
which the batt
ery 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. ●
If y
ou reset the display manually, the next
service interval will be indicated as in vehi-
cles with fixed service intervals. For this rea-
son we recommend that the service interval
display be reset by a SEAT authorised Dealer. Cruise control

the right. Rel
easing the selector lever re-
quires a certain degree of practical skill.
● Unlocking: use the flat part of a screwdriver
bla
de.
Removing the cover from the selector lever
● Apply the handbrake ›››
to ensure that
the c ar doe
s
not move.
● Carefully pull the corners of the selector
lever boot
and twist it upwards above the lev-
er handle.
Releasing the selector lever
● Using a screwdriver, press and hold the yel-
low un
locking tab sideways ››› Fig. 58.
● Press the interlock button on the selector
lever and mo
ve the selector lever to posi-
tion N.
● After carrying out the manual release, at-
tach the sel
ector lever boot on the gearbox
console again.
If the power supply should ever fail (e.g. dis-
charged battery) and the vehicle has to be pushed or towed, the selector lever must first
be moved t
o position N, after operating the
manual release mechanism. WARNING
The selector lever may be moved out of posi-
tion P only when the h
andbrake is firmly ap-
plied. If this does not work, secure the vehi-
cle with the brake pedal. On a slope the vehi-
cle could otherwise start to move inadver-
tently after shifting the selector lever out of
position P - accident risk! Air conditioning
