2012 Seat Toledo buttons

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). 

Opening and closing Keys
General notes
Fig. 43 Key with remote control/Key without remote control Two keys are always supplied with the vehicle. Depending on the model ver-
sion, your car may include keys without remote control ⇒ Fig. 43  or with
remote control ⇒ Fig. 43 .
WARNING
● Never leave the key inside whenever you leave the vehicle - even if
only for a moment. This is particularly important if children are to remain
in the vehicle. They might start the engine or some other electrical com-
ponent, e.g. electric windows. Risk of injury!
● Wait until the vehicle has completely stopped before taking the key
out of the ignition. Otherwise the steering wheel may lock suddenly. Risk
of accident!
CAUTION
● Each key contains electronic components and must, therefore, be pro-
tected from damp and strong vibrations.
● Keep the grooves in the key shaft clean. Any dirt (fibre from clothing,
dust, etc.) has a negative impact on locks, ignition, etc.
Note
Should a key be lost, request a duplicate key from an Authorised SEAT deal-
er. 
Replacing the battery in the remote control key

when stopped at a junction).
● The doors can be unlocked individually by pulling the handle.
● The vehicle doors cannot be locked if any of the doors are open.
● In the event of an accident in which the airbags activate, doors locked
from the inside will be automatically unlocked for easier access and assis-
tance.
WARNING
The central locking system remains operative when the ignition is
switched off. Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, as locked
doors delay assistance in an emergency. Doors locked from the inside de-
lay assistance in an emergency. Risk of death!
Note

Remote control synchronisation
If the vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked using the remote control, the
code of the key might not match that of the control unit. This can occur
when the remote control buttons are frequently pressed outside the range
of the system or if the remote control battery has been replaced.
In this case, it must be synchronised as follows:
●Press any key on the remote control key.
● Open the door using the key within the next minute. 
Anti-theft alarm system
General notes
The anti-theft alarm system increases vehicle protection from intruders. If
the anti-theft alarm system senses interference with the vehicle it triggers
an audible and visible alarm.
Activating the alarm system
The anti-theft alarm switches on automatically when the vehicle is locked
using the remote control key or inserting the key in the driver door. The
alarm is activated around 30 seconds after the vehicle is locked.
Deactivating the alarm system
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated when the remote control unlock
button is pressed. If the vehicle is not opened within 30 seconds after emit-
ting the radiofrequency signal, the system will be reactivated.
If the vehicle is unlocked using by inserting the key in the driver door, the
ignition must be switched on within 15 seconds. This deactivates the alarm system. If, during these 15 seconds, the vehicle is not started
, the alarm is
triggered.
When does the system trigger an alarm?
The following areas of the vehicle are monitored:
● Bonnet
● Rear lid
● Doors
● Ignition
● Tilt angle ⇒ page 89, Vehicle interior monitoring and tow-away protec-
tion system
● The interior ⇒ page 89, Vehicle interior monitoring and tow-away pro-
tection system
● Drop in voltage in the car systems
● The factory-fitted towing bracket
The alarm is triggered immediately if one of the battery cables is disconnec-
ted while the alarm system is active.
How to turn off the alarm
To deactivate the alarm, press the unlock button on the remote control key
or switch on the ignition.
Note
● The alarm horn power supply has a 5-year useful life. Contact an Official
Service for more detailed information.
● To make sure that the anti-theft alarm is fully operative when leaving the
vehicle, check that all the doors and windows are closed.
● Remote control and receiver unit coding means that the remote control
cannot be used on other vehicles. 

WARNING
Never use the air recirculation system for too long, as it prevents fresh air
from entering the vehicle and “used” air can cause tiredness, reduce your
attention span and cause the windows to mist over. This increases the
risk of an accident. Switch off the air recirculation system as soon as the
windows begin to mist over.

Climatronic* (automatic air conditioning) General notes
Climatronic automatically maintains a comfortable temperature. To do so, it
automatically regulates the supplied air temperature and the blower and air
distribution levels. The system also allows for the effect of sunlight, so there
is no need for manual adjustment. Automatic operations ⇒ page 133 guar-
antee maximum comfort any time of year.
Climatronic description
Cooling only works if the following conditions are met:
● The engine is running
● The outside temperature is above +2 °C (+36 °F)
● AC
18 ⇒ Fig. 100 ⇒ page 133 on. In order to ensure engines subject to heavy loads are cooled, the air condi-
tioning compressor is switched off in the event of high coolant tempera-
tures.
Recommended setting for all seasons
●
Set the required temperature. We recommend 22 °C (72 °F).
● Press the AUTO
button 12 ⇒ 
Fig. 100 ⇒  page 133.
● Adjust vents 3 ⇒ page 126 and 4 so that the air flow is directed slightly
upwards.
Change between degrees Centigrade and degrees Fahrenheit
Keep the AUTO
and AC buttons
⇒ Fig. 100 ⇒  page 133 pressed down at
the same time. The data is displayed on the screen in the units required.
Note
A visit to the specialised service once a year is recommended to clean the
Climatronic system. 
