Diesel particulate filter. Instruction Manual!
The engine control unit allows driving to continue in an emergency program.
When switching the ignition off and on again, the warning lamp also
lights up.
Seek professional help.
WARNING
● The particulate filter attains very high temperatures. Therefore, do
not park the vehicle in places where the exhaust pipe could come into
contact with dry grass or with highly-flammable materials. Risk of fire!
● Always adjust your speed to suit the weather, road, terrain and traffic
conditions. Never be encouraged, by the recommendations shown in the
warning lamps, to fail to respect traffic legislation.
CAUTION
While the warning lamp is lit up, the fuel consumption is high, and in
certain conditions, the engine power is reduced.
Note
● In order for the particulate filter to burn off soot in a correct manner,
avoid carrying out frequent short journeys.
● Using diesel fuel with a high sulphur count can considerably reduce the
useful life of the particulate filter. The specialised service provides informa-
tion about the countries where fuel with a high sulphur content is used.
Fuel reserve
The warning lamp lights up when approximately only 7 litres of fuel re-
main in the tank. The informative display indicates:
Refuel! Fuel range…km...(miles)
Note
The message on the display switches off only after refuelling and carrying
out a short journey.
Airbag system
If the warning lamp is lit up, there is a fault in the airbag system.
The informative display indicates: Airbag fault!
The airbag system availability is controlled electronically, regardless of
whether an airbag is disabled.
If the front airbag, side airbag, head protection airbag or the belt tensioner
are disabled using the diagnostics system:
● After switching on the ignition, the warning lamp lights up for around
4 seconds and flashes for another 12 seconds.
The informative display indicates:
Airbag/belt tensioner disabled!

If the front passenger airbag has been disabled with the airbag switch loca-
ted in the storage compartment side:
● When the ignition is turned on, the warning light switches on for
around 4 seconds.
● The airbag is disabled, signalled with the warning lamp which
lights up with the word placed in the centre part of the
dash panel ⇒ Fig. 24 ⇒ page 44.
WARNING
When there is a fault in the airbag system, have an inspection carried out
by an Authorised Service. Otherwise the airbags may fail to trigger in an
accident.
Tyre pressure monitoring*
If the warning lamp lights up, the pressure of a tyre has decreased signif-
icantly. Check and adjust the pressure of all the tyres ⇒ page 196.
If the warning lamp flashes, there is a fault in the system.
Seek professional help.
Further information ⇒ page 201, Tyre pressure *.
Note
If the battery is disconnected the warning lamp lights up when the igni-
tion is switched on. This warning lamp must switch off after covering a short
distance. Windscreen washer fluid level
If the warning lamp lights up, the level of windscreen washer fluid in the
tank is very low. Fill the windscreen washer fluid ⇒ page 190, Windscreen
washer.
The informative display indicates:
Refill windscreen washer fluid!
Turn signals
Depending on the position of the turn signal lever the left warning lamp on
the left or right flashes.
If there is a turn signal fault the warning lamp flashes at approximately dou-
ble speed.
All the turn signals flash in addition to both warning lamps when the hazard
warning lights are switched on.

82Communication
The MDI input is composed of the USB and AUX-IN inputs.
The purpose of the MDI input is to connect external devices (i.e. iPod ®
, mp3
players or USB memories) in order to play music using the audio system or
the navigation system.
In order to connect Apple multimedia devices (such as an iPod ®
/iPhone ®
…)
the corresponding adaptor from the SEAT Original Accessories catalogue is
required.
Voice control
Fig. 41 Multifunction
steering wheel: Voice
control
The time during which the system is ready to receive and execute voice com-
mands is called dialogue. The system gives off acoustic warnings and if
necessary will take you through the respective functions.
The Help menu should be used the first time the voice system is used to be-
come more familiar with the way it works. For voice commands to work optimally, certain factors must be taken into
account:
●
Speak slowly and clearly, as far as possible. The system will not recog-
nise words pronounced unclearly, or words and figures in which syllables
are omitted.
● Speak at a normal volume, without exaggerated intonation or long pau-
ses.
● Close doors, windows and sunroof to dampen and eliminate annoying
noises from outside. Do not turn the air outlets towards the roof.
● When driving at high speed you should speak louder.
● Keep accidental noise in the vehicle during the dialogue to a minimum,
e.g. passengers talking at the same time.
● Do not talk while the system is providing information.
The voice-control microphone is located in the roof trim and faces the driver
and front passenger. This is why the driver and front passenger should use
the device.
Enter the telephone number
The telephone number can be entered as a continuous row of digits memo-
rised in succession (the whole number at once) or as blocks of digits (sepa-
rated by brief pauses). After each series of digits (separated by a brief
pause) the digits recognised until then are repeated.
Digits 0 - 9 and the symbols +, , # are allowed. The system does not rec-
ognise coherent numeric combinations such as twenty-three.
Voice control activation
Press the 1
⇒ Fig. 41 button briefly on the multi-function steering
wheel.
Voice control deactivation
If the system is giving a message it should be stopped by pressing the
1
⇒ Fig. 41 button briefly on the multi-function steering wheel.

Keys
General notes
Fig. 42 Key with remote control/Key without remote control Two keys are always supplied with the vehicle. Depending on the model ver-
sion, your car may include keys without remote control ⇒ Fig. 42 or with
remote control ⇒ Fig. 42 .
WARNING
● Never leave the key inside whenever you leave the vehicle - even if
only for a moment. This is particularly important if children are to remain
in the vehicle. They might start the engine or some other electrical com-
ponent, e.g. electric windows. Risk of injury!
● Wait until the vehicle has completely stopped before taking the key
out of the ignition. Otherwise the steering wheel may lock suddenly. Risk
of accident!
CAUTION
● Each key contains electronic components and must, therefore, be pro-
tected from damp and strong vibrations.
● Keep the grooves in the key shaft clean. Any dirt (fibre from clothing,
dust, etc.) has a negative impact on locks, ignition, etc.
Note
Should a key be lost, request a duplicate key from an Authorised SEAT deal-
er.
Replacing the battery in the remote control key
Fig. 43 Remote control key: removing the cover/taking out the battery
Each remote control key contains a battery that is fitted below the

lamp on the driver door will flash quickly for 2 seconds before switching off
for 30 seconds and then flashing at a slower rate.
If the warning lamp flashes quickly for 2 seconds and then remains switch-
ed on before flashing at a slower rate after 30 seconds, there is a fault in
the interior monitor and tow-away protection system ⇒ page 92. Seek pro-
fessional help.
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 88 central lock button or by pulling the front door handle.
WARNING
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 88. All other
doors and the rear lid can be operated manually.
–Manual release ⇒ page 89.
– Manual release of the rear lid ⇒ page 94.
Safe Lock
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.
