WARNING
● Always keep your attention on driving! As the driver, you have the full
responsibility for the safety of traffic.
● Never use the instrument panel controls when the vehicle is in mo-
tion. Do so only when the vehicle is stopped!
Rev counter
The red part of the rev counter scale 1 ⇒ Fig. 31 ⇒
page 55 marks the zone
where the engine control unit begins to limit the engine speed. The engine
control unit is responsible for reducing the revs to a safe limit.
Before the needle reaches the red zone change up into a higher gear, or
move the selector lever of the automatic gearbox to D.
In order to drive at an optimum RPM, respect the gear change indications

In vehicles equipped with an informative display the service interval display
can be reset from the menu, Settings ⇒ page 63.
CAUTION
We advise against resetting the service interval display yourself, given that
this action could cause an imbalance in the service intervals, and as a re-
sult, faults in the vehicle.
Note
● Never reset the display between service intervals as this could lead to
erroneous indications.
● After disconnecting the battery of the vehicle, the service interval dis-
play values remain stored.
● If the general instrument panel is changed after a repair, the correct val-
ues must be input in the service interval display. This operation is carried
out by a specialised service.
● After resetting the display with flexible service intervals, the information
will be indicated in the same way as vehicles with fixed service intervals.
Therefore, we recommend that a SEAT Authorised Service resets the service
interval display, who will do so correctly using diagnostics equipment.
● For more detailed information please consult the Maintenance Pro-
gramme.
Digital clock
The clock is set using the buttons 5 to 6
⇒ Fig. 31
⇒ page 55.
Select the indication you want to change with button 5
and make the ad-
justment with button 6.
In vehicles equipped with an informative display this can be reset from the
menu, Time ⇒ page 63. Recommended gear display
Fig. 32 Recommended
gear display
The general instrument panel display indicates the engaged gear A
⇒ Fig. 32.
In order to optimally reduce the fuel consumption, the recommended gear is
displayed on the screen.
If the control unit analysis decides that a gear change is required, an arrow
appears on the display A
. This arrow can point up or down indicating
whether a lower or higher gear is recommended.
Simultaneously, the gear currently engaged is indicated B
in the place of
the recommended gear.
CAUTION
However, the driver is always responsible for choosing the appropriate gear
for each situation, (i.e. when overtaking).

Individual settings
Unlocking single doors
This optional function unlocks the driver door only. The other doors remain
locked and are only unlocked when the next command is given (unlock).
Automatic unlock and lock
The doors and the rear lid are locked automatically when the vehicle rea-
ches a speed of about 15 km/h (9 mph). The doors unlock automatically when the key is removed from the ignition.
Additionally, the driver or front passenger can unlock the doors by pressing
the ⇒
page 85 central lock button or by pulling the front door handle.

Locking the doors prevents intruders from getting into the car, e.g. while
waiting at junctions. However, it can also delay assistance in the event of
an accident. Risk of death!
Note
● Activation of the single door setting can be requested at your SEAT deal-
er.
● In the event of an accident in which the airbags activate, the doors will
be automatically unlocked for easier access and assistance.
● If the central locking system should fail to work at any time, only the
driver door can be locked or unlocked using the key ⇒ page 85. All other
doors and the rear lid can be operated manually.
–Manual release ⇒ page 86.

The central locking system is equipped with a Safe lock. If the vehicle is
closed from outside, the door locks will automatically lock. The warning
lamp on the driver door will flash quickly for 2 seconds and then at a slower
rate. It is not possible to open any of the doors from the inside or outside
using the handle. This limits the possibility of intruders getting into the ve-
hicle.
The Safe lock can be deactivated by pressing the lock button twice in less
than 2 seconds.
