68Instruments and warning/control lamps
Normal temperature
If in normal operations, the diodes light up until the central zone, it means
that the engine has reached operating temperature. At high outside temper-
atures and when making the engine work hard, the diodes may continue
lighting up and reach the upper zone. This is no cause for concern, provided
the control lamp does not light up on the instrument panel digital dis-
play.
Heat range
When the diodes light up in the upper area of the display and the control
lamp appears on the instrument panel display, the coolant temperature
is excessive ⇒ page 215.
CAUTION
● To ensure a long useful life for the engine, avoid high revs, driving at
high speed and making the engine work hard for approx. the first 15 mi-
nutes when the engine is cold. The phase until the engine is warm also de-
pends on the outside temperature. If necessary, use the engine oil tempera-
ture* as a guide ⇒ page 77
● Additional lights and other accessories in front of the air inlet reduce the
cooling effect of the coolant. At high outside temperatures and high engine
loads, there is a risk of the engine overheating.
● The front spoiler also ensures proper distribution of the cooling air when
the vehicle is moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can reduce the cooling
effect, which could cause the engine to overheat. Seek specialist assis-
tance. Gear-change indicator
This additional indicator function can help to save fuel.
Fig. 39 Instrument pan-
el: Gear-change indicator
(manual gearbox)
To familiarise yourself with the gear-change indicator, we recommend driv-
ing in the normal way to start with. A gear change will be recommended if
the gear you are in is not the most economical choice.
If no gear-change is recommended, you are already in the most economical
gear.
Vehicles with a manual gearbox
The following display symbols ⇒ Fig. 39 mean:
● Change to a higher gear: The suggested gear appears to the right of
the current gear when a higher gear is recommended.
● Change to a lower gear: The suggested gear appears to the left of the
current gear when a lower gear is recommended.
The gear recommendation may occasionally skip a gear (2nd 4th).

Vehicles with an automatic gearbox*
The display is only visible in tiptronic mode ⇒ page 159
The following display symbols mean:
● Shifting up a gear
● Shifting down a gear
CAUTION
The gear-change indicator is intended to help save fuel. It is not intended to
recommend the right gear for all driving situations. In certain situations, on-
ly the driver can choose the correct gear (for instance when overtaking, driv-
ing up a steep gradient or towing a trailer).
Note
The display disappears from the instrument panel when you press the
clutch pedal.
Control lamps Control and warning lamps
The control and warning lamps are indicators of warnings, ⇒ , faults ⇒ or certain functions. Some control and warning lamps come on when the ig-
nition is switched on, and switch off when the engine starts running, or
while driving.
Depending on the model, additional text messages may be viewed on the
instrument panel display. These may be purely informative or they may be
advising of the need for action ⇒ page 61, Instruments. Depending upon the equipment fitted in the vehicle, instead of a warning
lamp, sometimes a symbol may be displayed on the instrument panel.
When certain control and warning lamps are lit, an audible warning is also
heard.

WARNING
If the warning lamps and messages are ignored, the vehicle may stall in
traffic, or may cause accidents and severe injuries.
● Never ignore the warning lamps or text messages.
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
● Park the vehicle away from the traffic, ensuring that there are no easi-
ly inflammable materials under the vehicle which could come into contact
with the exhaust system (e.g. dry grass, fuel).
● A faulty vehicle represents a risk of accident for the driver and for oth-
er road users. If necessary, switch on the hazard warning lamps and put
out the warning triangle to advise other drivers.

Introduction
With the ignition switched on, it is possible to read the different functions of
the display by scrolling through the menus.
In vehicles with multifunction steering wheel, the multifunction display can
only be operated with the multifunction steering wheel buttons.
The number of menus displayed on the instrument panel will vary according
to the vehicle electronics and equipment.
A specialised workshop will be able to programme or modify additional
functions, according to the vehicle equipment. SEAT recommends 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 disap-
pear with the windscreen wiper lever button or the multifunction steering
wheel button.

Multifunction display memory
The multifunction display is equipped with three memories that work auto-
matically: MFD from departure, MFD from refuelling, MFD total calculation.
On the screen display, you can read which memory is currently displayed.
To change between memories with the ignition on and the memory shown,
press the button
on the windscreen wiper lever or you can also
change between memories using the button on the multifunction steer-
ing wheel.
MenuFunction
MFD from de-
parture
Display and storage of the values for the journey and the
consumption from when the ignition is switched on to
when it is switched off.
If the journey is continued in less than 2 hours after the ig-
nition is switched off, the new data is added to the data al-
ready stored in the memory. The memory will automatically
be deleted if the journey is interrupted for more than two
hours.
MFD from re-
fuellingDisplay and storage of the values for the journey and the
consumption. By refuelling, the memory will be erased au-
tomatically.
MFD total cal-
culation
The memory records the values for a specific number of
partial trips, up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 99
hours and 59 minutes, or 1999.9 km (or miles) or 9999 km
(or miles), depending on the model of instrument panel.
On reaching either of these limits a)
, the memory is auto-
matically erased and starts to count from 0 again.
a) It varies according to the type of instrument panel fitted.
Erasing a memory manually
● Select the memory that you wish to erase.
● Press and hold the button
on the windscreen wiper lever or the
button on the multifunction steering wheel for about 2 seconds. Personalising the displays

–To display the engine oil temperature, enter the submenu Jour-
ney data and turn the thumbwheel until the oil temperature dis-
play appears.
The engine reaches its operating temperature when in normal driving condi-
tions, the oil temperature is between 80 °C (180 °F) and 120 °C (250 °F). If
the engine is required to work hard and the outside temperature is high, the
engine oil temperature can increase. This does not present any problem as
long as the warning lamps ⇒ page 69 or ⇒ page 70 do not appear on
the display.
