If the journey is continued in less than
2 hours after the ignition is switched
off, the new data is added to the data
already stored in the memory. The
memory will automatically be deleted if

The essentials

with Easy Connect : Press the button and the function button SETTINGS >
Driver assistance > ACC > Dis-
tance .
The w arnin
g 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

in
s

panel display ››› Fig. 48 1 .
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. » 43

The essentials
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. 56. ●
Pres
s the interlock button on the selector
lever and move 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 to position N, after oper

ating 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! 50

The essentials
● Sc r
ew the c
ompressor tyre inflator into the
valve.
● Repeat the inflation process.
● If the indicated pressure still cannot be
reac
hed, the tyre is too badly damaged. Stop
and request assistance from an authorised
technician.
● Disconnect the air compressor. Unscrew
the tyre infl
ator tube from the tyre valve.
● When the tyre pressure is between 2.5 and
2.0 bars, c
ontinue driving without exceeding
80 km/h (50 mph).
● Check the pressure again after 10 minutes

cial Service, indicating the code number. Loosening the wheel bolts

as far as it will go. An adapter
is required to unscrew or tighten the anti-
theft wheel bolts ››› page 65.
● Turn the wheel bolt approximately one turn
to the lef
t ››› Fig. 74 (arrow). To apply the re-
quired torque, hold the wheel brace at the
end. If it is not possible to loosen a wheel
bolt, carefully apply pressure with one foot
on the end of the box spanner. Hold on to the
vehicle for support and take care not to slip. WARNING
Slightly loosen the wheel bolts (one turn) be-
for e r

aising the vehicle with the jack*. If not,
an accident may occur. 65

The essentials
the wheel condition and hub mounting surfa-
c e
s.
These surfaces must be clean before fit-
ting the wheel.
Tyres with compulsory direction of ro-
tation A directional tread pattern can be identified
by
the arr

ows on the sidewall that point in
the direction of rotation. Always observe the
direction of rotation indicated when fitting
the wheel to guarantee optimum properties
of this type of tyres with regard to grip,
noises, wear and aquaplaning.
If it is absolutely necessary to fit the spare
tyre* against the direction of rotation, drive
with care as this means the tyre does not of-
fer optimum driving properties. This is of par-
ticular importance when the road surface is
wet.
To return to directional tread tires, replace
the punctured tyre as soon as possible and
restore the obligatory direction of rotation of
all tyres.
Subsequent work ●
Alloy wheels: rep
l
ace the wheel bolt caps.
● Plate wheels: fit the centr
al wheel rim again
››› page 64. ●
Return al
l tools to their proper storing loca-
tion.
● If the replaced wheel does not fit in the
spar
e wheel housing, store it safely in the
luggage compartment ›››
 page 162.
● Check the tyre pressure of the newly moun-
ted tyr
e as soon as possible.
● In vehicles fitted with a tyre pressure indi-
cator
, adjust the pressure and store the read-
ing in the radio/Easy Connect system*
›››  page 311.
● Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bolts c
hecked as soon as possible with a tor-
que wrench (it should be 140 Nm). Mean-
while, drive carefully.
● Have the flat tyre replaced as quickly as
poss
ible.
Snow chains Use Snow chains should only be used on the
fr
ont
wheel

s.
Check that they are correctly seated after
driving for a few yards; correct the position if
necessary, in accordance with the manufac-
turer's fitting instructions. Keep your speed
below 50 km/h (30 mph). If there is a danger of being trapped despite
havin

g mounted the chains, it is best to disa-
ble the driving wheels (ASR) in the ESC
›››  page 191, Switching on/off the ESC
and ASR.
Snow chains will improve braking ability as
well as traction in winter conditions.
For technical reasons snow chains may only
be used with the following wheel rim/tyre
combination.
215/60 R16Chains with links of maximum 15 mm
215/55 R17Chains with links of maximum 15 mm
215/50 R18Chains with links of maximum 15 mm
Other dimensions do not allow chains Remove any central wheel trims and the rim
rin
g bef
or

e fitting snow chains.
Remove the chains when roads are free of
snow. Driving characteristics worsen, and the
wheels become damaged quickly and may
even be rendered unusable. 67

 page 95.
Screw the towline anchorage into the screw
connection ››› Fig. 77 o ››› Fig. 78 and tighten
it with the wheel brace.
Tow rope or tow bar
The tow bar offers increased safety and a
lower risk of damage.
The tow rope is recommended when there is
no tow bar. It must be elastic so that it does
not damage the vehicle.
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
● The tow rope must be taut before you drive
off.
● Rel

ease the clutch very carefully when start-
ing the v
ehicle (manual gearbox), or acceler-
ate gently (automatic gearbox).
Driving style
Towing requires some experience, especially
when using a tow rope. Both drivers should
realise how difficult it is to tow a vehicle. In-
experienced drivers should not attempt to
tow. Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle
and take c

are to avoid jerking the tow rope.
When towing on an unpaved road, there is al-
ways a risk of overloading and damaging the
anchorage points.
Switch on the ignition so that the turn sig-
nals, windscreen wipers and windscreen
washer can work. Ensure that the steering
wheel is unlocked and moves freely.
Place the gear lever in neutral on vehicles
with a manual gearbox. With an automatic
gearbox, place the lever in N.
To brake, press the brake pedal firmly. The
brake servo does not work when the engine
is switched off.
The power steering only works when the igni-
tion is switched on and the vehicle is moving,
provided that the battery is sufficiently charg-
ed. Otherwise, it will need more force.
Ensure that the tow rope remains taut at all
times.
