60LPG system*LPG gaugeLPG system filler level display
The LPG tank ⇒ in the spare wheel well has a capacity of 39 litres at an
outside temperature of 15 °C ⇒page 216, “Refuelling with LPG”.
The charge level can be checked on the analogue gas gauge located on the
instrument panel ⇒fig. 35. When the level reaches reserve, a notification
text is displayed on the screen. Refill with LPG at the earliest opportunity.
If, while driving in LPG mode, a sudden warning signal is heard and the
warning LPG fault, contact workshop is displayed on the screen
5), it means
that there is a fault in the LPG system. Take the vehicle to a specialised work-
shop to check the LPG system.
WARNING
LPG is a highly explosive and inflammable substance. It may cause severe
burns and other injury.•Due care must be taken to avoid any risk of fire or explosion.•When parking the vehicle in a closed area (for example in a garage),
make sure that there is adequate ventilation, either natural or mechanical,
to neutralise the LPG in the event of a leak.Note
•The values shown in the average fuel consumption and distance to empty
indications on the multifunction display (MFI)
6) on the instrument panel
5) are
approximate values only.
•Two different consumption values are given on the MFI, depending on
whether the vehicle is running in GAS or Petrol mode.•Please check the fuel level on the fuel level gauge on the instrument panel
⇒ page 58•If frequent short journeys are made, especially when the outside temper-
ature is low, the vehicle will tend to run on petrol more often than on LPG.
Therefore, the petrol tank may empty before the LPG tank.

Indications for vehicles with LongLife service
Technical progress has made it possible to considerably reduce servicing
requirements. With the LongLife System, SEAT ensures that your vehicle only
has an interval service when it is necessary. The length of the service intervals
(max. two years) is determined by factors such as conditions under which the
vehicle is used and personal driving style.
The service pre-warning will first appear 20 days before the date on which the
service is due. 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 after the last service. Until that time, only dashes are displayed.
Note
•If you reset the display manually, the next service interval will be indi-
cated after 15,000 km or one year and will not be calculated individually.•Do not reset the display between service intervals as the display will
otherwise be incorrect.•In LongLife Service vehicles, if the battery is disconnected for a long
period, the days remaining until the next service cannot be calculated. There-
fore, the service message displays on the instrument panel may be incorrect.
Take into account the maximum authorised service intervals.

The multifunction display (MFI) shows you information on the
journey and fuel consumption.

The multifunction system uses two automatic memories: 1 - Actual
memory and 2 - Total memory . The selected memory will be shown
in the upper right-hand corner of the display.
Selecting a memory
– When the ignition is on, briefly press button ⇒page 63, fig. 39
on the windscreen wiper lever to change from one memory to
another or press button on the steering wheel controls
⇒ page 63, fig. 39 .
Resetting a memory
– Select the memory that you would like to reset.
– Hold down button on the windscreen wiper lever or button on the steering wheel contro ls for at least 2 seconds.The trip memory 1 collects the travel and consumption rates from the
moment the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. If the journey is
continued within two hours of switching off the ignition, the new values will
be added to the existing trip recorder memory. The memory will automatically
be deleted if the journey is interrupted for more than two hours.
The total memory 2 collects the trip data for any number of individual jour-
neys (even if the ignition is switched off for longer than two hours) up to a
total of 19 hours and 59 minutes travel time or 1999 km distance travelled.
The memory will automatically be deleted if one of the named values is
reached.

consumption. It shows how far the vehicle can travel using the same condi-
tions as a reference.
Ø l/100 km - Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption will be shown ⇒page 64, fig. 42 after a
distance of approximately 100 metres has been travelled. Until then dashes
will appear in the display. The display will be updated every 5 seconds while

tion ⇒page 195.
Outside temperature display
The measurement range extends from -45 °C to +58 °C. At temperatures
below +4 °C, an ice crystal symbol is displayed and a warning sounds if the
vehicle is moving at more than 20 km/h (ice danger warning). This symbol
