Operation
 Km (miles) - Fuel range The fuel range is calculated using the figures
for tank content and current fuel consump-
tion. This shows how far the vehicle can trav-
el using the same conditions as a reference.
Ø l/100 km - Average fuel consumptionAfter turning on the ignition, average fuel
consumption will be shown after travelling
approximately 100 metres. Until then dashes
will appear in the display. The display will be
updated every 5 seconds while the vehicle is
in motion. The amount of fuel used will not
be shown.
l/100 km o l/h - Current fuel consumption
The display will show the current fuel con-
sumption in ltr/km whilst the vehicle is in
motion or in ltr/hour when the vehicle is at a
standstill with the engine running.
Using this display you can see how your driv-
ing style affects fuel consumption

Indic at
ed speed warning
When the required speed has been reached,
enter the “Speed warning” mode in the menu and press button
››› Fig. 74 A
RESET . The set
speed is memorised. If the indicated speed is
exceeded at any time, a warning message is
displayed on the screen and an audible warn-
ing sounds. 1)
This may be deactivated by pressing the RESET button. The speed may be altered us-
ing the rocker switch ››› Fig. 74 B in intervals
of 5 km/h within 5 seconds of the initial
memory value being stored.
Outside temperature display
The measurement margin ranges from -45 °C
(-49 °F) to +58 °C (+136 °F). At temperatures
lower than +4°C (+39 °F), an “ice crystal sym-
bol” is displayed and a “warning” is sounded
if the vehicle is moving at more than 10 km/h
(6 mph) (ice warning). This symbol will flash
for about 10 seconds and remains lit until
the outside temperature rises above +4°C
(+39°F), or if you are driving, the temperature
does not rise above +6°C (+43°F) if it was al-
ready lit.
The lighting of the ice crystal symbol is in-
tended to warn the driver of the risk of ice,
so that he/she proceeds with due care. WARNING
There could be black ice on the road surface
even if the “snowflake symbol” is not shown.
For this reason you should not rely exclusive-
ly on this display - Risk of accident! Note
When the vehicle is at a standstill or when
travelling at very low speeds, the tempera-
ture displayed may be higher than the true
outside temperature as a result of the heat
produced by the engine. Selector lever position display*

Service interval display Fig. 76
Service interval display The service indication is shown on the instru-
ment panel display
››› Fig. 76 .
S EA
T distinguishes between services with
en-
gine oil change (e.g. Interval Service) and
services without
engine oil change (e.g. In- spection Service). The service interval display
only indicates the dates of services that in-
clude engine oil change. The dates of all oth-
er services, such as Inspection Service or
brake fluid change, appear in the sticker on
the door pillar or in the Maintenance Pro-
gramme.
Vehicles with
service intervals dependent on
time/distance travelled already have certain
service intervals set.
The intervals are calculated separately in ve-
hicles with LongLife service. Technical pro-
gre

ss has made it possible to considerably
reduce servicing requirements. With the
LongLife System, SEAT ensures that your ve-
hicle only has an interval service when it is
necessary. To calculate this (max. two years),
the conditions under which the vehicle is
used and the individual driving style are also
taken into account. The service pre-warning
will appear at 20 days or less prior to the cor-
responding service. The distance travelled is
rounded off to the nearest 100 km and the
time to full days. The current service message
can only be consulted 500 km or more after
the last service. Until that time, only dashes
are displayed.
Service warning
A service warning will appear when the igni-
tion i

s switched on if a service is due soon. The instrument panel display will show the
“spanner symbol”
 and the “km (miles)”
indication, along with a clock symbol with
the days remaining until the date of the next
service. The figure indicated is the maximum
number of kilometres (miles) remaining be-
fore the date of the next service. The indica-
tion changes after a few seconds. A “clock
symbol” appears and the number of days un-
til the service appointment should be carried
out.
Service
If a service is due, an audible warning will
sound and the flashing “spanner”  symbol
will be shown along with the fixed text SERV-
ICE.
If no service is carried out following the indi-
cation on the instrument panel, the excess
distance travelled and the excess time follow-
ing the SERVICE warning will be displayed.
Reading the service message
The current service message can be c
onsul-
ted with the ignition on, the engine switched
off and the vehicle at a standstill:
● Press the  button on the instrument pan-
el as often as necessary until the “spanner”
symbol  is displayed.

tening* rings ››› page 109. WARNING
● Loose luggage and other objects in the lug-
gage compartment could cause serious inju-
ries.
● Always stow objects in the luggage com-
partment and secure them with the fastening
rings*.
● During sudden manoeuvres or accidents,
loose objects can be thrown forward, injuring
vehicle occupants or even third parties. This
increased risk of injury will be further in-
creased if a loose object is struck by an inflat-
ing airbag. If this happens, objects may
shoot outward like a missile. Risk of fatal in-
jury.
● Always keep all objects in the luggage com-
partment and use appropriate grips to secure
them, particularly in the case of heavy ob-
jects.
● Never exceed the allowed axle weights or
allowed maximum weight. If said weights are
exceeded, the driving characteristics of the
vehicle may change, leading to accidents, in-
juries and damage to the vehicle.
● Please note that the centre of gravity may
shift when transporting heavy objects; this
may affect vehicle handling and lead to an ac-
cident. Therefore, it is essential to adjust
your speed and driving style accordingly, to
avoid accidents. 108
