On-board computerIntroduction
The on-board computer provides you with useful information
during a journey, including average and current fuel
consumption, average speed, fuel range, driving time and
distance covered.Press RESET button ⇒page 86, fig. 60 to switch back and forward
between the functions of on-board computers 1 and 2.
The numbers in the display ⇒fig. 59 indicates which of the two memories is
currently in use. The figure 1 means that the display is showing the informa-
tion in the single journey memory (on-board computer 1). The figure 2 means
that the display is showing the information in the total journey memory (on-
board computer 2). Single-journey memory (on-board computer 1)
The single-journey memory processes the information on a journey from the
time the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. If the journey is
resumed
within two hours after the ignition is switched off, the new figures
are automatically included in the calculation. If the journey is interrupted for
more than two hours t h e s t o r e d i n f o r m a t i o n i s a u t o m a t i ca l l y e r a s e d w h e n y o u
resume your journey.
Total-journey memory (on-board computer 2)
Unlike the single-journey memory, the total-journey memory is not erased
automatically. Hence, you can determine the period for which you wish the
on-board computer to supply figures.
Fuel range
The estimated fuel range is displayed in km. The fuel range is displayed in
increments of 10 km.
Average fuel consumption
This mode shows the average fuel consumption since the memory was last
cancelled in litres/100 km.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
The display shows the instantaneous fuel consumption in litres/100 km.
When the vehicle is stationary, the computer will display the last value in the
memory.
Average speed
This mode shows the average speed driven since the memory was last
cancelled (in km/h).
Driving time
This display shows the period of time which has elapsed since the memory
was last cancelled. The longest possible period it can cover is 999 hours and
59 minutes.

starts flashing. This is to remind the driver to take a break.
The driving time warning can be switched off by briefly pressing the function
selector switch or the button ⇒fig. 60 .
If you continue driving or take a break for less than 10 minutes, the driving
time warning will switch on once again when the total driving time is 4:00
hours, 6:00 h o u r s , e t c . H o w e v e r, i f yo u ta ke a b r e a k f o r m o r e t ha n 1 0 m i n u te s ,
the driving time warning clock will be erased.
Distance covered
This display shows the distance you have covered since the memory was last
cancelled. The longest possible distance which can be recorded is
9999.9 km.
Note
•The displays for fuel consumption (average and instantaneous), fuel
range and speed are shown in metric units.•The information in the memory is lost if the battery is disconnected.

Tyre pressure monitoring*Introduction
The tyre pressure monitoring system constantly checks the
pressure of the tyres.The system warns the driver in the event of a loss of pressure by means of
symbols and messages in the instrument panel display. The system works
with the help of the ABS sensors in the wheels.
Please bear in mind that the tyre inflation pressure is also influenced by the
temperature of the tyre. Tyre pressure increases about 0.1 bar for each 10°C
in tyre temperature increase. The tyre heats up while the vehicle is being
driven and the tyre pressure will rise accordingly. Therefore, you should only
adjust the tyre pressures when they are
cold (i.e. approximately at ambient
temperature).
To ensure that the tyre pressure monitoring system works reliably, you should
check and, if necessary, adjust the tyre pressures at regular intervals and
store the correct pressures (reference values) in the system.
A tyre pr essure i nfor ma ti on lab e l is a tta che d to t he insi de o f the fu el ta nk f lap.
WARNING
•Never adjust tyre pressure when the tyres are hot. This may damage or
even burst the tyres. Risk of accident!•An insufficiently inflated tyre flexes a lot more at high speeds and
causes significant heating of the tyre. Under these conditions, the tyre
bead may be released or the tyre may burst. Risk of accident!For the sake of the environment
Under-inflated tyres lead to increased fuel consumption and tyre wear.
Note
•Responsibility for ensuring that the tyres are correctly inflated remains
with the driver; the system can only provide assistance.•Pressure can only be adjusted when the tyres are at ambient
temperature.

Unlocking and locking
98
– Remove the used battery from the cover.
– Insert the new battery. Make sure that the “+” symbol on the battery is facing downwards. The co rrect polarity is indicated on
the cover.
– After inserting the battery, align the cover and key and press the two parts together.
For the sake of the environmentUsed batteries must be disposed of appropriately and must not be discarded
with ordinary household waste.
Note
•The system must be re-synchronised after each battery replacement to be
able to lock and unlock the car using the remote control ⇒page 106.•The new battery must be of the same type as the original.Electronic immobiliser
The electronic immobiliser is designed to prevent unauthor-
ised persons from starting up the vehicle.There is an electronic chip inside the key which automatically deactivates the
immobiliser when the key is inserted into the ignition lock. The electronic
immobiliser is enabled automatically when the ignition key is removed from
the ignition lock after coming to a stop.
If an uncoded key is used, the message SAFE will appear in the trip recorder
display.
Note
•The engine can only be started using an original SEAT key with the correct
code.•It may not be possible to start the engine with the key if there is another
ignition key from a different make of vehicle on the same key tab.Central lockingDescription
The central locking system enables you to lock and unlock all
the doors, the tailgate and the tank flap together.The central locking system on your vehicle locks and unlocks all the doors
and the tank flap simultaneously. The tailgate is unlocked when the vehicle
is opened. However, the handle must be used to open it. The vehicle can be
locked and unlocked using the remote control ⇒ page 104 or by turning the
key in the lock in the driver's door.
The windows can also be centrally opened or closed using the central locking
system ⇒page 110. The sun roof* can be closed but not opened using the
central locking system.
The central locking system is combined with an anti-theft security system. If
the vehicle is locked with the key from the outside, the interior opening levers
stop working, which prevents unauthorised persons from entering the
vehicle.
Should the central locking system fail to work, you can still normally enable
all the locks individually. The fuel tank flap can be released manually if neces-
sary. For manual release of the tank flap ⇒page 217.
