WARNING
There could be black ice on the road surface even if the “snowflake symbol”
is not shown. For this reason you should not rely exclusively on this display
- Risk of accident!
Note
When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the tempera-
ture displayed may be slightly higher than the actual outside temperature as
a result of the heat radiated from the engine.Display field for selector lever position*The position of the automatic selector lever is shown on the display
⇒ page 137.
OdometerThe upper counter in the display registers the total mileage covered by the
vehicle.
The lower counter registers the short journeys. The last digit indicates 100-
metre sections. The trip recorder counter may be reset by pressing the reset
button ⇒page 49, fig. 30 .Service interval displayThe service indication is shown on the instrument panel display ⇒fig. 36 .
SEAT distinguishes between services with engine oil change (e.g. Mainte-
nance Service) and services without engine oil change (e.g. Inspection
Service). The service interval display only indicates the dates of services that
include engine oil change. The dates of all other services, such as Inspection
Ser vice or brake fluid change, appear in the sticker on the door pillar or in the
Service Schedule.

Technical Specifications
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”.
