Press and hold the button ⇒ Fig. 38 4
for more than 5 seconds to consult
the service message.
When the service date has past , a minus sign is displayed in front of the
number of kilometres or days. In vehicles with text messages the following
is displayed: Service --- km (miles) or --- days ago .
The time can also be set via the
key and Setup function button in the
Easy Connect system ⇒ page 79.
The service interval display is reset
If the service was not carried out by a SEAT dealership, the display can be
reset as follows:
● To reset the service interval display, turn the ignition off and press and
hold the button ⇒ Fig. 38 4
.
● Switch the ignition back on.
● Release the button 4
and press the button 4 again for the next 20
seconds.
Note
● The service message disappears after a few seconds, when the engine is
started or when OK/RESET
is pressed on the windscreen wiper lever, or OKon the multifunction steering wheel.
●
In vehicles with the LongLife system in which the battery has been dis-
connected for a long period of time, it is not possible to calculate the date
of the next service. Therefore the service interval display may not be correct.
In this case, please check the maximum permitted service intervals ⇒ Book-
let Maintenance Programme. Rev counter
The rev counter indicates the number of engine revolutions
per minute.
Together with the gear-change indicator, the rev counter offers you the pos-
sibility of using the engine of your vehicle at a suitable speed.
The start of the red zone on the dial indicates the maximum engine speed
which may be used briefly when the engine is warm and after it has been
run in properly. Before reaching this range, you should change to a higher
gear for vehicles with a manual gearbox or for automatic gearboxes put the
selector lever in “D” or take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
We recommend that you avoid high revs and that you follow the recommen-
dations on the gear-change indicator. Consult the additional information in
⇒ page 68, Gear-change indicator.
CAUTION
Never allow the rev counter needle 1 ⇒ Fig. 38 to go into the red zone on
the scale for more than a very brief period, otherwise, there is a risk of en-
gine damage.
For the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear early will help you to save fuel and minimise engine
noise.

Trip recorder
Fig. 40 Instrument pan-
el: Odometer and reset
button
The distance covered is displayed in “kilometres” or miles “m”. It is possi-
ble to change the measurement units (kilometres “km”/miles “m”) in the
radio/Easy Connect*. Please refer to the Easy Connect* Instruction Manual
for more details.
Odometer/trip recorder
The odometer shows the total distance covered by the vehicle.
The trip recorder shows the distance that has been travelled since it was
last reset. It is used to measure short trips. The last digit of the trip recorder
indicates distances of 100 metres or tenths of a mile.
The trip recorder can be set to zero by pressing 0.0/SET
⇒ Fig. 40.
Fault display
If there is a fault in the instrument panel, the letters DEF will appear in the
trip recorder display. Have the fault repaired immediately, as far as is possi-
ble. Fuel level
The display
6 ⇒ Fig. 38 only works when the ignition is switched on. When
the display reaches the reserve mark, the lower diode lights up in red and
the control lamp appears ⇒ page 248. When the fuel level is very low,
the lower diode flashes in red.
The distance to empty fuel level is displayed on the instrument panel 3
⇒ Fig. 38.
The capacity of the fuel tank of your vehicle is given in the Technical data
section ⇒ page 323.
In natural gas engines
The yellow warning lamp
lights up when both fuel types (petrol and natu-
ral gas) have reached reserve level.
The green control lamp comes on when the vehicle is working with natural
gas.
The green control lamp switches off when the natural gas is exhausted.
The engine changes to operate with petrol.
Thing to note: If the vehicle is left parked for a long time immediately after
refuelling, the natural gas level indicator may not accurately indicate the
same level shown after refuelling when the vehicle is started up again. This
is not due to a leak in the system, but to a drop in pressure in the gas tank
for technical reasons after a cooling phase immediately after refuelling.
CAUTION
Never run the fuel tank completely dry. An irregular fuel supply could cause
misfiring. In this way the unburned fuel can reach the exhaust system,
which could cause the catalytic converter to overheat resulting in damage.

Coolant temperature gauge
For vehicles with no coolant temperature gauge, a control lamp appears for
high coolant temperatures ⇒ page 257. Take into account the ⇒ .
The coolant temperature gauge 2
⇒ Fig. 38 only works when the ignition is
switched on. In order to avoid engine damage, please read the following
notes for the different temperature ranges.
Engine cold
If only the diodes in the lower part of the scale light up, this indicates that
the engine has not yet reached operating temperature. Avoid high revs and
heavy acceleration and do not make the engine work hard.
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 257.
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.

Instruments and warning/control lamps
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. 41 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 178
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.
