Technical Specifications
Vehicles with 
service intervals dependent on time/distance travelled  already 
have certain service intervals set.
The intervals are calculated separately in vehicles with  LongLife service Te ch-
nical progress has made it possible to considerably reduce servicing require-
ments. With the LongLife System, SEAT ensures that your vehicle 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 corresponding 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 ignition is switched on if a service is 
due soon.
The instrument panel display will show the “spanner symbol” 
 and the 
“km” 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 kilo-
metres remaining before the date of the next service. The indication changes 
after a few seconds. A “clock symbol” appears and the number of days until 
the service appointment should be carried out.
Service
If a service is due, a gong signal will sound and the flashing “spanner” 
 
symbol will be shown along with the fixed text  SERVICE.
If  no service is carried out  following the indication on the instrument panel, 
the excess distance travelled and the excess time following the SERVICE 
warning will be displayed.
Reading the service message
The  current service message  can be consulted with the ignition on, the 
engine switched off and the vehicle at a standstill:
•Press the   button on the instrument panel as often as necessary until 
the spanner symbol 
 is displayed.
An  overdue service  is indicated by a minus sign in front of the mileage or day 
information.
Resetting service interval display
If the service was not performed by a SEAT dealer, the display must be reset 
as follows:
•Switch the ignition off.•Press and hold the   button.•Switch ignition back on.•Release the   button and press the   button within 20 seconds.
Do  not  reset the display between service intervals, as the display will other-
wise be incorrect.
If the display is reset manually, the next service interval will be indicated after 
15,000 km or one year and will not be calculated individually.Note
In LongLife Service vehicles, if the battery is disconnected for a long period, 
the days remaining until the next service cannot be calculated. Therefore, the 
service message indications may be incorrect. In this case, bear in mind the 
maximum service intervals permitted in the  ⇒Booklet “Service Schedule”.

Driving
130DrivingSteeringAdjusting the steering wheel position
The height and reach of the steering wheel can be freely 
adjusted to suit the driver.– Adjust the driver seat to the correct position.
– Push the lever under the steering column  ⇒fig. 93  down ⇒.
– Adjust the steering wheel until the correct position is set  ⇒fig. 93 .
– Then push the lever up again firmly  ⇒.
WARNING
•Incorrect use of the steering column adjustment function and an incor-
rect seating position can result in serious injury.•To avoid accidents, the steering column should be adjusted only when 
the vehicle is stationary.•Adjust the driver seat or steering wheel so that there is a distance of at 
least 25 cm between the steering wheel and your chest  ⇒fig. 93 . If you fail 
to observe the minimum distance, the airbag will not protect you. Risk of 
fatal injury.•If your physical constitution does not allow you to maintain the 
minimum distance of 25 cm, contact an Authorised Service Centre. The 
Authorised Service Centre will help you to decide if special specific modifi-
cations are necessary.•If you adjust the steering wheel so that it points towards your face, the 
driver airbag will not protect you properly in the event of an accident. Make 
sure that the steering wheel points towards your chest.•When driving, always hold the steering wheel with both hands on the 
outside of the ring at the 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions. Never hold the 
steering wheel at the 12 o’clock position, or in any other manner (e.g. in 
the centre of the steering wheel, or on the inside of the rim). In such cases, 
if the airbag is triggered, you may sustain injuries to the arms, hands and 
head.
