For the sake of the environment
Changing to higher gears in advance helps to reduce fuel consumption and
noise levels, helps to protect the environment and benefits both the useful
life and the reliability of the engine. 
Speedometer
Speed warning
An audible warning will be heard on exceeding 120 km/h (75 mph). If the
speed falls below this limit, the audible warning switches off.
Note
This function is only valid for certain countries. 
Coolant temperature gauge
The coolant temperature gauge 4
⇒  Fig. 31
⇒ page 55 only works when
the ignition is switched on.
Damage to the engine can be avoided by observing the indications regard-
ing the temperature zones.
Engine cold
If the needle is still on the left of the scale, the engine has not yet reached
operating temperature. Avoid high engine speeds, hard acceleration and
submitting the engine to high loads.
Operating temperature zone
When the needle has reached the central part of the scale, this means the
engine has reached operating temperature. Running the engine at full throt- tle and the high temperatures involved can cause the needle to be posi-
tioned in the zone on the right.
CAUTION
The additional headlights and other parts placed in front of the fresh air in-
lets reduce the effect of engine cooling. With high outside temperatures
and engine speeds a risk becomes present of the engine overheating
⇒  page 68, Coolant level and temperature . 
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge 7 ⇒ Fig. 31 ⇒ 
page 55 operates only when the ignition is
switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of approx. 55 litres. When the needle reaches
the reserve area, the warning symbol  ⇒ page 71 lights up on the gener-
al instrument panel and an audible warning can be heard.
CAUTION
Never completely empty the tank! An irregularity in the fuel supply system
can cause irregularities when the engine is running. Unburned fuel can
reach the exhaust gas system, which can cause deterioration of the catalytic
converter.
Note
Some vehicles come fitted with the fuel gauge on the general instrument
panel. 

58Controls and displays
In vehicles equipped with an informative display the service interval display
can be reset from the menu, Settings ⇒ page 63.
CAUTION
We advise against resetting the service interval display yourself, given that
this action could cause an imbalance in the service intervals, and as a re-
sult, faults in the vehicle.
Note
● Never reset the display between service intervals as this could lead to
erroneous indications.
● After disconnecting the battery of the vehicle, the service interval dis-
play values remain stored.
● If the general instrument panel is changed after a repair, the correct val-
ues must be input in the service interval display. This operation is carried
out by a specialised service.
● After resetting the display with flexible service intervals, the information
will be indicated in the same way as vehicles with fixed service intervals.
Therefore, we recommend that a SEAT Authorised Service resets the service
interval display, who will do so correctly using diagnostics equipment.
● For more detailed information please consult the Maintenance Pro-
gramme. 
Digital clock
The clock is set using the buttons 5 to 6
⇒  Fig. 31
⇒ page 55.
Select the indication you want to change with button 5
and make the ad-
justment with button 6.
In vehicles equipped with an informative display this can be reset from the
menu, Time ⇒ page 63. Recommended gear display
Fig. 32 Recommended
gear display
The general instrument panel display indicates the engaged gear A
⇒ Fig. 32.
In order to optimally reduce the fuel consumption, the recommended gear is
displayed on the screen.
If the control unit analysis decides that a gear change is required, an arrow
appears on the display A
. This arrow can point up or down indicating
whether a lower or higher gear is recommended.
Simultaneously, the gear currently engaged is indicated B
in the place of
the recommended gear.
CAUTION
However, the driver is always responsible for choosing the appropriate gear
for each situation, (i.e. when overtaking). 

Controls and displays
Current fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption is indicated on the display in litres/100km
(miles) 1)
. You can adapt your driving style to the required consumption with
the assistance of this indicator.
The consumption is displayed in litres per hour while the vehicle is stopped
or at idling speed 2)
.
Average fuel consumption
The display shows the average fuel consumption in litres/100km (miles) 1)
calculated since the memory was last reset ⇒ page 59.
If you wish to measure the average fuel consumption from a specific period,
the memory must first be deleted by pressing the button, B
⇒ Fig. 34
⇒ page 60. While driving the first 300 m after deleting the memory this val- ue is not shown on the display.
The value is updated regularly while the vehicle is in motion.
Operating range
The approximate operating range is indicated in kilometres (miles) on the
display. It shows how far the vehicle can travel with the available fuel using
the same driving conditions as a reference.
The operating range is calculated in sections of 10 kilometres (miles). When
the fuel gauge enters the reserve zone, the operating range is displayed in
sections of 5 kilometres (miles).
The operating range is calculated based on the fuel consumption during the
last 50 kilometres (miles). The operating range increases when driving in a
more economical manner. When the memory is reset (after disconnecting the battery), the operating
range is calculated with a 10 litres per 100 km (miles) consumption and ad-
justs to represent the current driving style.
Distance
The display shows the distance you have covered since the memory was last
reset
⇒ page 59. If you wish to measure the duration of a journey from a
specific moment, the memory must be deleted by pressing the button, B
⇒ Fig. 34 ⇒ 
page 60.
The maximum value for both memories is 1999 km (miles), or 9999 km
(miles) in vehicles fitted with an informative display. The memory is reset if
this value is exceeded.
Average speed
The display shows the average speed in km/h (mph) calculated from the
last time the memory was reset ⇒ page 59. If you wish to measure the aver-
age speed from a specific period, the memory must first be deleted by
pressing the button, B
⇒ Fig. 34 ⇒ 
page 60.
While driving the first 300 m after deleting the memory this value is not
shown on the display.

If the oil temperature is lower than 50 °C (+122 °F) or if a fault appears on
the oil temperature control, in place of the temperature indication, the sign -
-.- is shown. 
1)
The indication of consumption is given in kms (miles)/litres in models for certain countries.
2) The indication of the consumption when the vehicle is stationary is given in - -.- kms
(miles)/litres. in models for certain countries.

WARNING
● Failure to observe control lamps and warning messages can result in
serious personal injuries or damage to your vehicle.
● The engine compartment is a dangerous area! Carrying out work in
the engine compartment, i.e. checking and filling service liquids, can
lead to injury, scalding, burns and fires. Therefore the corresponding
warnings must always be observed ⇒ page 173, Engine compartment.
Handbrake 
If the
 warning lamp lights up, the handbrake is applied. Additionally,
driving the vehicle at speeds exceeding 6 km/h (4 mph) for at least 3 sec-
onds produces an audible warning.
The informative display indicates:
Release the handbrake! 
Brake system 
The warning lamp  lights up if the brake fluid level falls too low or if there
is a fault in the ABS system.
The informative display indicates:
Brake fluid Instruction Manual!
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and check the level of the brake fluid
⇒ page 181
WARNING
● If the vehicle has to be stopped for technical reasons, park it a safe
distance away from moving traffic, switch off the engine and turn on the
hazard warning lights ⇒ page 98.
● The following indications must be taken into account when opening
the engine compartment to check the brake fluid ⇒ page 173, Engine
compartment. 

71
Controls and displays
If the warning lamp  starts to flash while driving, there is a fault in the
engine power control electronic system. The engine control unit allows driv-
ing to continue in an emergency program.
Seek professional help. 
Engine management  (diesel engines)
If the warning lamp  is lit up, there is a fault in the engine management
system. The engine control unit allows driving to continue in an emergency
program.
Seek professional help. 
Particulate filter  (diesel engines)
The particulate filter eliminates soot from emissions. The particles accumu-
late in the filter where they are normally burned off.
If the warning lamp  is lit up, the filter is obstructed by soot.
In order for the filter to clean itself (if the traffic conditions ⇒ 
so permit) it
is essential to drive for at least 15 minutes (or until the warning lamp
switches off) with 4th or 5th gear engaged (automatic gearbox: position S)
at a minimum speed of 60 km/h (37 mph) with the engine speed between
1800-2500 1/min.
The warning lamp  switches off once the filter has been successfully
cleaned.
If the cleaning process is not successful, the warning lamp  does not
switch off and the warning lamp  starts to flash.
The informative display indicates: Diesel particulate filter. Instruction Manual!
The engine control unit allows driving to continue in an emergency program.
When switching the ignition off and on again, the warning lamp  also
lights up.
Seek professional help.
WARNING
● The particulate filter attains very high temperatures. Therefore, do
not park the vehicle in places where the exhaust pipe could come into
contact with dry grass or with highly-flammable materials. Risk of fire!
● Always adjust your speed to suit the weather, road, terrain and traffic
conditions. Never be encouraged, by the recommendations shown in the
warning lamps, to fail to respect traffic legislation.
CAUTION
While the warning lamp  is lit up, the fuel consumption is high, and in
certain conditions, the engine power is reduced.
Note
● In order for the particulate filter to burn off soot in a correct manner,
avoid carrying out frequent short journeys.
● Using diesel fuel with a high sulphur count can considerably reduce the
useful life of the particulate filter. The specialised service provides informa-
tion about the countries where fuel with a high sulphur content is used. 
Fuel reserve 
The warning lamp  lights up when approximately only 7 litres of fuel re-
main in the tank.
