(blue) is lit up, the en-
gine h a
s not yet reached its operating tem-
perature 1)
. Avoid high engine speeds, hard
acceleration and subjecting the engine to
high loads.
If the warning lamp (red) is lit up or flash-

area, the high temperature may be due to a
fault in the cooling system fan. Check the ra-
diator fan fuse and replace it if necessary
››› page 165, Changing fuses in the engine
compartment
.
If the warning lamp (red) remains lit up,
despite both the coolant level and the radia-
tor fan fuse being in correct condition,

Instruments and warning lamps
Go to a technical service.
Particulate filter (diesel engines)The particulate filter eliminates soot from
emissions. The particles accumulate in the
filter where they are normally burned off.
If the warning lamp
is illuminated, the fil-
ter is obstructed by soot.
In order for the filter to clean itself (if the traf-
fic conditions ››› so permit) it is essential
to drive for at least 15 minutes (or until the
warning lamp switches off) with 4th or 5th
gear engaged (automatic gearbox: position
S) at a minimum speed of 60 km/h (37 mph)
with the engine speed between
1,800-2,500 rpm.
The warning lamp switches off once the
filter has been successfully cleaned.
If the cleaning process is not successful, the
warning lamp does not switch off and the
warning lamp starts to flash.
The informative display indicates:
Diesel particulate filter. Instruction Manual!
The engine control unit allows driving to con-
tinue in an emergency program. When
switching the ignition off and on again, the
warning lamp also illuminates.
Go to a technical service. WARNING
● The particulate filter attains very high tem-
peratures. 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! CAUTION
While the warning lamp is lit up, the fuel
c
onsumption is high, and in certain condi-
tions, 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 pro-
vides information about the countries where
fuel with a high sulphur content is used. Fuel reserve
The warning lamp illuminates when ap-
proximately only 7 litres of fuel remain 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 jour-
ney. Airbag system
If the warning lamp
is lit up, there is a
f au
lt in the airbag system.

Operation
Resetting service interval display
The service interval display can be reset only
after a service message or pre-warning has
been displayed in the general instrument
panel display.
To reset the display, it is advisable to visit a
technical service, to perform the following ac-
tions:
● reset the display memory after performing
the applicable inspection,
● record the information in the Maintenance
Programme,
● place a sticker on the side of the instru-
ment panel in the driver area indicating the
date of the next inspection.
The service interval display can be reset by
pressing the 6
››› Fig. 24
›
›› page 30 button.
In vehicles equipped with an informative dis-
play the service interval display can be reset
from the menu, Settings ››› page 44. CAUTION
We advise against resetting the service inter-
val display yourself, given that this action
could upset service intervals, and as a result,
lead to faults in the vehicle. Note
● Never reset the display between service in-
tervals as this could lead to erroneous indica-
tions.
● After disconnecting the battery of the vehi-
cle, the service interval display values remain
stored.
● If the general instrument panel is changed
after a repair, the correct values must be in-
put in the service interval display. This opera-
tion is carried out by a specialised service.
● After resetting the display with flexible
service intervals, the information will be indi-
cated 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 cor-
rectly using diagnostics equipment.
● For more detailed information, please con-
sult the Maintenance Programme. Communication
