– To set the minutes, press button again and select the minute
option. Set from button “set”.Once the operation has been carried out, the system memorises the time.Outside temperature display
The outside temperature is displayed when the ignition is
switched on.In addition to the outside temperature display, an ice crystal is displayed and,
if vehicle speed is over 10 km/h, a warning tone is heard at temperatures
dropping from between +4 °C and -7 °C and at temperatures rising from -5 °C
up to +6 °C.
The illumination of the crystal symbol aims to warn the driver of the risk of
ice, so that he/she proceeds with due care.
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 heat coming from the engine.
Recommended gear display*
This display helps to save fuel.Use the gear display to save fuel. If you are not in the correct gear, a triangle
will appear next to the gear display indicating whether you should change up

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”.

62Engine management*
%0#

This warning lamp monitors the engine management system
for petrol engines.
The warning lamp
%0# (Electronic Power Control) lights up when the ignition
is switched on to show that the lamp is working properly. It should go out
once the engine is started.
If there is a fault in the electronic engine management system while you are
driving, this warning lamp will light up. Stop the vehicle and seek technical
assistance.
Glow plug system / Engine fault*
D
The warning lamp lights up to show that the glow plugs are
preheating. It flashes if there is an engine fault.
Warning lamp
D is lit
The warning lamp D lights up while the glow plugs are preheating. When the
warning lamp goes off, the engine should be started straight away.
Warning lamp
D flashes
If a fault develops in the engine management system while you are driving,
the glow plug lamp will flash
D. Take the vehicle to a specialised workshop
as soon as possible and have the engine checked.
Soot accumulation in the diesel engine particulate filter*

If the warning lamp
 lights up you should help the filter clean itself by
driving in the appropriate manner.
To do this, drive about 15 minutes in fourth or fifth gear (automatic gearbox:
S gear range) at a speed of 60 km/h, with the engine running at approxi-
mately 2000 rpm. In this way, the pollen build up in the filter is burned. When
cleaning is successful, the indicator turns off.
If the warning lamp  does not turn off, or the three lamps turn on (partic-
ulate filter
, emission control system fault
 and glow plugs
D), take
the vehicle to a specialised workshop to repair the fault.
WARNING
•Always drive according to the road weather conditions, the terrain and
traffic. Driving recommendations should never lead to illegal manoeuvres
in surrounding traffic.•The diesel engine particulate filter may reach extremely high tempera-
tures; it should not enter into contact with flammable materials under-
neath the vehicle. Otherwise there is a risk of fire.
Engine oil pressure
E
If this warning lamp is red it indicates that the engine oil pres-
sure is too low.If this warning symbol starts to flash, and is accompanied by three audible
warnings , switch off the engine and check the oil level. If necessary, add more
oil ⇒page 188.

If the symbol flashes although the oil level is correct,
do not drive on. The
engine must not even run at idle speed. Obtain technical assistance.
Checking the oil level
E
If the warning lamp is yellow
E the engine oil level should be checked as
soon as possible. Top up the oil ⇒page 188 at the next opportunity.
Oil level sensor faulty*
E
If the
E yellow warning lamp flashes, take the vehicle to a specialised work-
shop to have the oil level sensor checked. Until then it is advisable to check
the oil level every time you refuel.
Bulb defect*
“
The indicator lights up when a bulb is not functioning.The
“ warning lamp lights up when there is a fault on the turn signals, head-
lights, side lights and fog lights.
Rear fog light*


This warning lamp lights up when the rear fog light is switched on

. For
further information see ⇒page 90.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)*
J
A warning lamp monitors the ABS.
The indicator lamp
J should light up for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on. It goes out again after the system has run through an automatic
test sequence.
There is a fault in the ABS if:
•The warning lamp
J does not light up when the ignition is switched on.
•The warning lamp does not go out again after a few seconds•The warning lamp lights up when the vehicle is moving
The vehicle can still be braked in the normal way, without the ABS function.
Take the vehicle to a specialised workshop as soon as possible. For further
information on the ABS go to ⇒page 154.
If there is a fault in the ABS, the ESP* and the tyre pressure warning lamp will
also light up.
Brake system fault
If the ABS warning lamp
J lights up together with the brake warning lamp
H, this indicates not only a fault in the ABS function, but also a possible fault
in the brake system ⇒.
WARNING
•Before opening the bonnet, read and observe the warnings on
⇒ page 183, “Working in the engine compartment”.•If the brake warning lamp
H should light up together with the ABS
warning lamp
J, stop the vehicle immediately and check the brake fluid
level in the reservoir ⇒ page 195, “Brake fluid”. If the fluid level has
dropped below the “MIN” mark you must not drive on. Risk of accident.
Obtain technical assistance.

64•If the brake fluid level is correct, the fault in the brake system may have
been caused by a failure of the ABS system. This could cause the rear
wheels to lock quickly when you brake. This could cause the rear to break
away. Risk of skidding. Stop the vehicle and seek technical assistance.
Differential lock fault (EDL)*
EDL operates along with the ABS in vehicles equipped with an
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)*A malfunction in the EDL is indicated by the ABS warning lamp
J. Take the
vehicle to a specialised workshop as soon as possible. For further informa-
tion on the EDL see ⇒page 156, “Electronic differential lock (EDL)*”.
Traction control system (TCS)*
/l
The traction control system prevents the driven wheels from
spinning when the vehicle is acceleratingThere are two warning lamps for the traction control system:
 and
l. The
warning lamp
 lights up when the ignition is switched on and should turn
off after 2 seconds, which is the time taken for the function check.
The
 lamp has the following function:
•It flashes when the TCS is on, and the vehicle is moving.
If the system is deactivated or if it has any fault, the warning lamp will remain
li t . I t will als o co m e o n i f a fa ul t s hould occur in the A B S b e caus e t he TCS o pe r -
ates in conjunction with the ABS. For further information, see ⇒page 153,
“Brakes” The
l lamp provides information about the disconnection status of the
system:
•It stays lit when the TCS is disconnected after pressing the TCS OFF switch.
By pressing again, TCS function is reactivated and the warning lamp switched
off.Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)*
/ l
There are two warning lamps for the electronic stability
programme. The
 lamp provides information concerning
the function and the l provides information on the discon-
nection status
The warning lamp
 lights up when the ignition is switched on and should
turn off after 2 seconds, which is the time taken for the function check.
This programme includes the ABS, EDL and TCS. This also includes the brake
assist system (BAS), automatic cleaning of the brake discs and the trailer
stability programme (TSP).
The warning lamp  has the following functions:
•It flashes when the TCS/ESP is activated when driving.•It will light up continuously if there is a malfunction in the ESP.•It will also come on if a fault should occur in the ABS because the ESP
operates in conjunction with the ABS.
If the ESP warning lamp
 lights up and stays on after the engine is started,
this may mean that the control system has temporarily switched off the ESP.
In this case the ESP can be reactivated by switching the ignition off and then
on again. If the warning lamp goes out, this means the system is fully func-
tional.
