60Controls and displays
In vehicles equipped with an informative display the service interval display
can be reset from the menu, Settings ⇒ page 67.
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 57.
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 67. 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). 

1999 km (miles) or until 99 hours and 59 minutes and 9999 km (miles) in
cars with an informative display. The memory will automatically be deleted
if one of the named values is reached, resetting the data collected.
Unlike the current journey memory, this memory is not deleted, even when
the ignition is switched off for more than two hours.
Note
After disconnecting the battery, all the values stored in the memories 1 and
2 are deleted. 

64Controls and displays
Operating range
The approximate operating range is indicated in kilometres (miles) on the
display. It shows how far the vehicle can travel with the available fuel using
the same driving conditions as a reference.
The operating range is calculated in sections of 10 kilometres (miles). When
the fuel gauge enters the reserve zone, the operating range is displayed in
sections of 5 kilometres (miles).
The operating range is calculated based on the fuel consumption during the
last 50 kilometres (miles). The operating range increases when driving in a
more economical manner.
When the memory is reset (after disconnecting the battery), the operating
range is calculated with a 10 litres per 100 km (miles) consumption and ad-
justs to represent the current driving style.
Distance
The display shows the distance you have covered since the memory was last
reset ⇒ page 61. If you wish to measure the duration of a journey from a
specific moment, the memory must be deleted ⇒ page 62.
The maximum value for both memories is 1999 km (miles), or 9999 km
(miles) in vehicles fitted with an informative display. The memory is reset if
this value is exceeded.
Average speed
The display shows the average speed in km/h (mph) calculated from the
last time the memory was reset ⇒ page 61. If you wish to measure the aver-
age speed from a specific period, the memory must first be deleted
⇒  page 62.
While driving the first 300 m after deleting the memory this value is not
shown on the display.
The value is updated regularly while the vehicle is in motion. Driving speed
The current driving speed, the same as indicated on the speedometer, is
shown on the display

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

is facing upwards. The correct polarity is indicated on the bat-
tery cover.
– Replace the battery cover and press down until it clicks.
CAUTION
● The correct polarity must always be observed when replacing the bat-
tery.
● The new battery must be of the same type as the original.
For the sake of the environment
Dispose of the used battery in line with national legislation.
Note
If it is not possible to unlock or lock the door with the remote control key
once the battery has been replaced, it will need to be re-synchronised
⇒ page 91. Childproof locks

General notes
The remote control key can
● Lock and unlock the vehicle
● Unlock or open the rear lid
The remote control transmitter and the batteries are integrated in the key.
The receiver is inside the vehicle. The remote control key has a maximum
range of 30 metres. The range is reduced as the batteries start to lose pow-
er.
The key includes a foldaway part that can be used to manually lock or un-
lock the vehicle and to start the engine.
If a lost key is replaced or the receiver is repaired or changed, the remove
control key must be adapted by an authorised SEAT dealer. Only then can
the remote control key be used again.
Note
● The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is
switched on.
● The remote control function may be temporarily limited by interference
from other transmitters near the vehicle that operate on the same frequency
(e.g. mobile phone, television transmitter).
● If the central locking system or the anti-theft alarm only responds to the
remote control at a distance of less than 3 m, then the battery much be re-
placed ⇒ page 84.
● If the driver door is open, the vehicle can not be locked using the remote
control. 
