Indications for vehicles with LongLife service
Technical progress has made it possible to considerably reduce servicing re-
quirements. With the LongLife System, SEAT ensures that your vehicle only
has an interval service when it is necessary. The length of the service inter-
vals (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 con-
sulted 500 km after the last service. Until that time, only dashes are dis-
played.
Note
● If you reset the display manually, the next service interval will be indica-
ted 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 pe-
riod, the days remaining until the next service cannot be calculated. There-
fore, the service message displays on the instrument panel may be incor-
rect. Take into account the maximum authorised service intervals. Multifunction display (MFI)*
The multifunction display (MFI) shows you information on
the journey and fuel consumption.

Cockpit
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 ⇒ fig. 40 A
on the
windscreen wiper lever to change from one memory to another
or press button A
on the steering wheel controls
⇒ fig. 40.
Resetting a memory
– Select the memory that you would like to reset.
– Hold down button A
on the windscreen wiper lever or button
A on the steering wheel controls for at least 2 seconds.
The trip memory 1 collects the travel and consumption rates from the mo-
ment the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. If the journey is con-
tinued 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. Information in the multifunction display (MFI)*Fig. 42 Rocker buttons A

Fuel range in km
The fuel range is calculated using the figures for tank content and current
fuel consumption. It shows how far the vehicle can travel using the same
conditions as a reference.
Distance travelled in km The display shows the distance travelled since the ignition was switched on.
The maximum display value in both memories is 1999 km. The memory will
automatically be deleted once this value has been reached.
Average speed in km/hThe average speed will be shown after a distance of approximately 100 me-
tres has been travelled. Until then dashes will appear in the display. The
display will be updated every five seconds while the vehicle is in motion.
Alternative speed display (mph or km/h)
The speed is also displayed in a second unit of measurement other than
that used on the speedometer.
● Select the menu Configuration using the rocker switch on the windscreen
wiper lever or the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel* ⇒ page 67.
● Select the option Auxiliary speed and press OK
on the windscreen wiper
lever or the multifunction steering wheel*.
Digital display of speed
The instrument panel display gives the speed in digital format 1)
.
Speed warning at --- km/h
This function may help you to keep within the speed limits. Press the OK
button on the windscreen wiper lever
A or the multifunction steering
wheel* to select the current speed. The instrument panel display gives the
selected speed, for example, Speed warning 120 km/h. You have five sec-
onds to reset the speed between 30 km/h and 250 km/h using rocker switch
B
or buttons or on the multifunction steering wheel*. Press
the OK button or wait five seconds until the speed is stored and the warn-
ing is activated. If the set speed is exceeded, an acoustic signal is heard
and a warning message is displayed until the speed is reduced to at least 4
km/h below the stored speed. The function is switched off by pressing the OK
button again. Speed warning --- km/h is now displayed on the instru-
ment panel.
Outside temperature display
The measurement margin ranges from -40 °C (-40 °F) to +50 °C (+125 °F). At
outside temperatures below +4 °C (+39.2 °F), the snowflake symbol (ice
danger warning) appears in addition to the outside temperature display.
This symbol flashes for a few seconds and remains lit until the outside tem-
perature rises above +6 °C (+42.8 °F).
WARNING
There could be black ice on the road surface even if the “snowflake sym-
bol” is not shown. For this reason you should not rely exclusively on this
display - Risk of accident!
Note
● There are different instrument panels; therefore the multifunction dis-
play may vary.
● When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the tem-
perature displayed may be slightly higher than the actual outside tempera-
ture as a result of the heat radiated from the engine.
● Vehicles with a multifunction steering wheel* do not have buttons on
the windscreen wiper lever. The multifunction display can only be controlled
from the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel*.

fatal consequences. Close and lock both the tailgate and all the other
doors when you are not using the vehicle.
● Always take you car keys with you when you leave the vehicle. Misuse
of the keys, for example, by children, may result in serious damage and
accident.
–The engine may accidentally be started and be out of control.
– If the ignition is switched on, the electric equipment could be acti-
vated with risk of injury, for example, in the electric windows.
– The doors can be locked using the remote control key. This could
make the aid difficult in an emergency situation.
– Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle.
● Never remove the key from the ignition if the vehicle is in motion. The
steering lock could suddenly engage, and you would not be able to steer
the vehicle.

WARNING
● An improper use of the key can cause serious injuries.
● Never leave children or disabled persons in the vehicle. In case of
emergency, they may not be able to leave the vehicle or manage on their
own.
● Never forget the keys inside the vehicle. Otherwise, this could result
in serious injuries, accidents or even the theft of your vehicle. Always
take the key with you when you leave the vehicle.
● An uncontrolled use of the key could start the engine or activate any
electric equipment (e.g. electric windows), causing risk of accident. The

area).
● If the vehicle is unlocked using the
1 button, it will lock again auto-
matically if any of the doors or the tailgate are not opened within 30 sec-
onds after unlocking it. This function prevents the vehicle from remaining
unlocked if the unlock button is pressed by mistake.
● If the vehicle cannot be opened and closed using the remote control,
the remote control key will have to be re-synchronised ⇒ page 103.
Changing the battery
If the battery indicator does not flash when the buttons are pushed, the bat-
tery must be replaced.
CAUTION
The use of inappropriate batteries may damage the radio frequency remote
control. For this reason, always replace the dead battery with another of the
same size and power.
For the sake of the environment
Used batteries must be disposed of at an appropriate waste facility or
through an authorised service, given that their components can affect the
environment.
Synchronising the remote control key
If it is not possible to unlock or lock the door with the remote
control, it should be re-synchronised.

even if the key is in the ignition. The automatic open and close function will not work if the battery has been
temporarily disconnected, or if the battery is flat. The function then has to
be reactivated.
The one-touch function and roll-back function will not work if there is a mal-
function in the electric windows. Contact an Authorised Service Centre.
Roll-back function
The windows have a roll-back function. This reduces the risk
of injuries when the windows are closing.
● If a window is obstructed when closing automatically, the window stops
at this point and lowers immediately ⇒
.
● If this happens, check immediately (within 10 seconds) why the window
could not be closed before attempting to close it again. After 10 seconds
the normal automatic function resumes.
● If the window is still obstructed, the window will stop at this point.
● If there is no obvious reason why the window cannot be closed, try to
close it again within 5 seconds.
If you wait longer than 5 - 10 seconds, the window will open fully when you
operate one of the buttons. One-touch closing is reactivated.
The one-touch function and roll-back function will not work if there is a mal-
function in the electric windows. Contact an Authorised Service Centre.
