2012 Seat Toledo clock setting

10Safe driving
Sitting position for vehicle occupants
Introduction
WARNING
● The front seats, head restraints and seat belts must always be adjus-
ted to the size of the vehicle occupant to provide you and your passen-
gers with the greatest possible protection.
● Ensure your correct sitting position before setting off, and do not
change this during the journey. Also advise your passengers to ensure
their correct sitting positions not to be changed.
● A vehicle occupant sitting in an incorrect position is at risk of serious
injury in the event that an airbag is activated.
● If the passengers in the rear seats are not sitting in an upright posi-
tion, they are more likely to be injured due to the incorrect position of the
seat belts.
● It is important that the driver keeps at a minimum of 25 cm from the
steering wheel. It is important that the passenger keeps at a minimum of
25 cm from the dash panel. The airbag system will not be able to give the
required protection if the minimum distance is not observed. This can
cause a risk of fatal injury!
● When driving, always hold the steering wheel with both hands on the
outside part at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions. Never hold the
steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position, or in any other manner (e.g. in
the centre of the steering wheel or along its interior edge). In such cases,
if the airbag is triggered, you may sustain injuries to the arms, hands
and head.
● The backrests must not be reclined too far back while driving. This
could limit the effect of the seat belts and the airbag system. Risk of in-
jury!
WARNING (Continued)
● Objects must not be placed in the footwell, as they could move to the
area of the pedals in the event of a braking manoeuvre or change of direc-
tion. This would prevent the clutch, brake or accelerator from being
pressed.
● Always keep your feet on the footwell when the vehicle is moving;
never rest them on the dash panel, on the window or on the seat! An in-
correct sitting position exposes you to an increased risk of injury in case
of a sudden braking or an accident. If the airbag is triggered, you could
sustain severe injuries due to an incorrect sitting position!

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). 

Note
We recommend having the vehicle checked by an authorised SEAT dealer to
guarantee the correct working order of all electrical systems. 
Changing the battery
A replacement battery must have the same capacity, voltage, current rating
and size as the original. The appropriate types of battery can be acquired
from authorised SEAT dealers.
We recommend having the battery changed by an authorised SEAT dealer,
where the new battery will be correctly installed and the original disposed
of in line with regulations. 
Automatic disconnection of electrical equipment
When heavily-charging a battery, the programme selected by the electrical
system control unit prevents the battery from automatically discharging.
This may result in the following:
● Increase in idling speed so that the alternator can supply more current
to the electrical system.
● The performance of certain electrical components could be limited or
some may switch off temporarily, e.g. the heated seats, the heated rear win-
dow, the 12V power socket.
Note
Despite any measures taken by the control unit, the battery could drain. e.g.
with the engine is switched off, the key is turned in the ignition for a long
period or the side lights or parking lights are switched on. The switching off
of certain electrical components does not impair driving comfort and the
driver will often not even realise. 
