Vehicles with
service intervals dependent on time/distance travelled already
have certain service intervals set.
The intervals are calculated separately in vehicles with LongLife service Te ch-
nical progress has made it possible to considerably reduce servicing require-
ments. With the LongLife System, SEAT ensures that your vehicle only has an
interval service when it is necessary. To calculate this (max. two years), the
conditions under which the vehicle is used and the individual driving style
are also taken into account. The service pre-warning will appear at 20 days or
less prior to the corresponding service. The distance travelled is rounded off
to the nearest 100 km and the time to full days. The current service message
can only be consulted 500 km or more after the last service. Until that time,
only dashes are displayed.
Service warning
A service warning will appear when the ignition is switched on if a service is
due soon.
The instrument panel display will show the “spanner symbol”
 and the
“km” indication, along with a clock symbol with the days remaining until the
date of the next service. The figure indicated is the maximum number of kilo-
metres remaining before the date of the next service. The indication changes
after a few seconds. A “clock symbol” appears and the number of days until
the service appointment should be carried out.
Service
If a service is due, a gong signal will sound and the flashing “spanner”

symbol will be shown along with the fixed text SERVICE.
If no service is carried out following the indication on the instrument panel,
the excess distance travelled and the excess time following the SERVICE
warning will be displayed.
Reading the service message
The current service message can be consulted with the ignition on, the
engine switched off and the vehicle at a standstill:
•Press the button on the instrument panel as often as necessary until
the spanner symbol
 is displayed.
An overdue service is indicated by a minus sign in front of the mileage or day
information.
Resetting service interval display
If the service was not performed by a SEAT dealer, the display must be reset
as follows:
•Switch the ignition off.•Press and hold the button.•Switch ignition back on.•Release the button and press the button within 20 seconds.
Do not reset the display between service intervals, as the display will other-
wise be incorrect.
If the display is reset manually, the next service interval will be indicated after
15,000 km or one year and will not be calculated individually.Note
In LongLife Service vehicles, if the battery is disconnected for a long period,
the days remaining until the next service cannot be calculated. Therefore, the
service message indications may be incorrect. In this case, bear in mind the
maximum service intervals permitted in the ⇒Booklet “Service Schedule”.

yourself with the correct operation of the heating and ventilation system,
including the demist/defrost functions for the windows.
Note
Please consider the general notes.
Automatic mode
In automatic mode air temperature, air flow and distribution
are automatically regulated so that a specified temperature is
attained as quickly as possible, and then maintained.Switching on automatic mode
– Press the button . The indication ⇒page 125, fig. 93
is visible.
–Press keys and ⇒page 125, fig. 93 to adjust the desired
temperature inside the vehicle. We recommend you adjust the
temperature to 22 °C (72 °F).A comfortable interior climate is quickly reached when a temperature of 22 °C
(72 °F) is set in automatic mode. Therefore, we recommend you not to change
this adjustment, except as necessary to suit individual preferences or partic-
ular circumstances. The inside temperature can be set between +18 °C (64 °F)
and +29 °C (86 °F). If a lower or higher temperature is selected, LO or HI are
respectively displayed on the screen. These are approximate temperatures
which may slightly vary depending on the outside conditions.
Climatronic maintains a constant temperature. To do it, it automatically regu-
lates the supplied air temperature, the blower speed and the air distribution.
The system also considers the sunlight radiation, so there is no need for
manual readjustment. Therefore, automatic mode almost always provides
the best comfort for the vehicle occupants throughout the year.
Automatic mode is switched off whenever an adjustment is made using the
buttons for the air distribution, blower or . The temperature continues to
self-regulate.

Manual mode
In manual mode the air temperature, flow, and the desired air
distribution can be adjusted.Switching on manual mode
– Press one of the buttons ⇒page 125, fig. 93 to or press
the blower control and down. The indicator is switched off .Te m p e r a t u r e
The inside temperature can be set between +18 °C (64 °F) and +29 °C (86 °F).
These are approximate temperatures which may slightly vary depending on
the outside conditions.
If a temperature below 18 °C (64 °F), is selected, the display switches to LO In
this setting the system runs at maximum cooling output and the temperature
is not regulated.
If a temperature above 29 °C (86 °F) is selected, the display switches to HI In
this setting the system runs at maximum heating output and the temperature
is not controlled.
Blower
The blower can be adjusted with buttons and ⇒page 125, fig. 93. If
the blower is off (level is not shown on the screen) and button is kept
pressed down, the Climatronic switches off. Then OFF is displayed on the
screen.
Air distribution
The air distribution is adjusted using the buttons , and . It is also
possible to open and close some of the air outlets separately. Switching the air conditioning on and off
Pressing the button the air cooling system can be switched off in order to
save fuel. The temperature continues to self-regulate. The set temperature
can then only be reached if it is higher than the outside temperature.
Air recirculation mode
Air recirculation mode prevents fumes or unpleasant smells
from coming from the outside.– Press the button to switch air recirculation mode on or off.
This is ON if the symbol
 ⇒ page 125, fig. 93 is displayed on
the screen.
Air recirculation mode prevents strong odours in the ambient air from
entering the vehicle interior, for example when passing through a tunnel or in
a traffic jam.
When the outside temperature is low, air recirculation mode improves
heating performance by heating air from the interior instead of cold air from
the outside.
When the outside temperature is high, air recirculation mode improves
cooling performance by cooling air from the interior instead of warm air from
outside.
For safety reasons, the air recirculation should not be switched on when the
air distribution control is set to the windscreen setting
<.
WARNING
In air recirculation mode, no cold air from the outside enters the vehicle
interior. If the air conditioner is switched off, the windows can quickly mist

long time (risk of accident).
Note
When engaging reverse gear, the air reci rculation is connected automatically
to prevent the entrance of exhaust fumes in the vehicle on travelling back-
wards. In this case the symbol for air recirculation is not displayed.General notesPollution filter
The pollution filter (a combined particulate filter and active carbon filter)
serves as a barrier against impurities in the outside air, including dust and
pollen.
For the air conditioner to work with maximum efficiency, the pollution filter
must be replaced at the specified intervals in the Maintenance Programme.
If the filter loses efficiency prematurely due to use in areas reaching very high
pollution levels, the pollen filter must be changed more frequently than
stated in the Service Schedule.
Caution
•If you suspect that the air conditioner is damaged, switch it off with the button to prevent further damage and have it checked by a specialised
workshop.•Repairs to the air conditioner require specialist knowledge and special
tools. Therefore, we recommend you to take the vehicle to a specialised work-
shop.
Note
•If the humidity and temperature outside the vehicle are high, condensa-
tion can drip off the evaporator in the cooling system and so forming a puddle
underneath the vehicle. This is completely normal and there is no need to
suspect a leak.•Keep the air intake slots in front of the windscreen free of snow, ice and
leaves to ensure heating and cooling are not impaired, and to prevent the
windows from misting over.•The air from the vents flows through the vehicle interior and is extracted
by slots designed for this purpose. Therefore, do not cover these slots with
items of clothing or other objects.•The air conditioner operates most effectively with the windows and the
sliding/tilting sunroof* closed. However, if the temperature inside the vehicle
is excessive because of the sun, the air inside can be cooled faster by opening
the windows for a short time.•Do not smoke while air recirculation mode is on, as smoke drawn into the
air conditioning system leaves a residue on the evaporator, producing a
permanent unpleasant odour.•At low outside temperatures the compressor switches off automatically.
The button cannot be switched on either.•It is advisable to connect the air conditioning at least once a month, to
lubricate the system gaskets and prevent leaks. If a decrease in the cooling
capacity is detected, an Authorised Service Centre should be consulted to
check the system.•To ensure correct operation, the grilles on both sides of the screen must
not be obstructed•When the engine is under extreme strain, switch off the compressor for a
moment.
