time this manual was published. Some of the
units described herein will not be available
until a later date or are only available in cer -
tain markets.
Because this is a general manual for the

ing on the technical requirements and on the
market; this is in no way deceptive advertis-
ing.
The illustrations are intended as a general
guide and may vary from the equipment fitted
in your vehicle in some details.
The steering indications (left, right, forward,
reverse) appearing in this manual refer to the
normal driving movements of the vehicle ex -
cept when otherwise indicated.
The audiovisual material only is intended to
help users to understand certain car function -
alities better. It does not replace the instruc -

This manual is divided into six large parts,
which are:
1. The essentials
2. Safety
3. Emergencies
4. Operation
5. Tips
6. Technical data
At the end of this manual, there is a detailed
alphabetical index that will help you quickly
find the information you require.

The essentials
Driver information system Intr oduction With the ignition switched on, it is possible
t
o r
ead the different functions of the display
by scrolling through the menus.
In vehicles with multifunction steering wheel,
the multifunction display can only be operat-
ed with the steering wheel buttons.
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 visiting a SEAT Official 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. Some
warning messages can be confirmed and
made to disappear with the windscreen wiper
lever button or the multifunction steering
wheel button.
The information system also provides the fol-
lowing information and displays (depending
on the vehicle's equipment):

one end of the black jump lead to
the negative terminal – of the vehicle
pr o

viding the current B
› ››
Fig. 76 .
– For vehicles with Start-Stop system: con-
nect
one end of the black jump lead X to a
s uit
able ground terminal, to a solid piece of
metal in the engine block, or to the engine
block itself ››› Fig. 77.
5. Connect the other end of the blac
k jump
lead X to a solid metal component bolted
t o the en
gine block or to the engine block
itself of the vehicle with the flat battery.
Do not connect it to a point near the bat-
tery A .
6. Position the leads in such a way that they cannot

come into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
Starting
7. Start the engine of the vehicle with the boos
ting battery and let it run at idling
speed. 8. Start the engine of the vehicle with the flat
batt
ery and wait for 2 or 3 minutes until

Removing the jump leads
9. Before you remove the jump leads, switch off the dip
ped beam headlights if they are
switched on.
10.Turn on the heater blower and heated rear windo

This helps minimise voltage peaks which
are generated when the leads are discon-
nected.
11.When the engine is running, disconnect the le
ads in reverse order to the details
given above.
Make sure the battery clamps have sufficient
metal-to-metal contact with the battery termi-
