WARNING
If the warning lamps and messages are ignored, the vehicle may stall in
traffic, or may cause accidents and severe injuries.
● Never ignore the warning lamps or text messages.
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
● Park the vehicle away from the traffic, ensuring that there are no easi-
ly inflammable materials under the vehicle which could come into contact
with the exhaust system (e.g. dry grass, fuel).
● A faulty vehicle represents a risk of accident for the driver and for oth-
er road users. If necessary, switch on the hazard warning lamps and put
out the warning triangle to advise other drivers.
● Before opening the bonnet, switch off the engine and allow it to cool.
● In any vehicle, the engine compartment is a hazardous area and could
cause severe injuries ⇒ page 251.

Driver information system
Driver information system Information system
Introduction
With the ignition switched on, it is possible to read the different functions of
the display by scrolling through the menus.
In vehicles with multifunction steering wheel, the multifunction display can
only be operated with the multifunction steering wheel buttons.
The number of menus displayed on the instrument panel will vary according
to the vehicle electronics and equipment.
A specialised workshop will be able to programme or modify additional
functions, according to the vehicle equipment. SEAT recommends visiting a
SEAT Official Service.
Some menu options can only be read when the vehicle is at a standstill.
As long as a priority 1 warning is displayed, it will not be possible to read
the menus. Some warning messages can be confirmed and made to disap-
pear with the windscreen wiper lever button or the multifunction steering
wheel button.

ready stored in the memory. The memory will automatically
be deleted if the journey is interrupted for more than two
hours.
MFD from re-
fuellingDisplay and storage of the values for the journey and the
consumption. By refuelling, the memory will be erased au-
tomatically.

partial trips, up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 99
hours and 59 minutes, or 1999.9 km (or miles) or 9999 km
(or miles), depending on the model of instrument panel.

Current fuel con-
sumptionThe current fuel consumption display operates through-
out the journey, in litres/100 km; and with the engine
running and the vehicle stopped, in litres/hour.
Average fuel con-
sumption
After turning on the ignition, average fuel consumption
in litres/100 km will be shown after travelling approxi-
mately 100 metres. Otherwise horizontal lines are dis-
played. The value shown is updated approximately ev-
ery 5 seconds.
Operating range
Approximate distance in km that can still be travelled
with the fuel remaining in the tank, assuming the same
style of driving is maintained. This is calculated using
the current fuel consumption.
Journey durationThis indicates the hours (h) and minutes (min) since
the ignition was switched on.
Distance coveredDistance covered in km (m) after switching on the igni-
tion.
CNG quality
Whenever you refuel, an automatic check is run on the
quality of the natural gas and is displayed after the ig-
nition is switched on. The indication is given as a per-
centage of between 70 % and 100 %. The greater the
percentage, the lower the consumption.
Average speed
The average speed will be shown after a distance of ap-
proximately 100 metres has been travelled. Otherwise
horizontal lines are displayed. The value shown is up-
dated approximately every 5 seconds.

Saving tips
Tips on how to save fuel will be displayed in certain conditions that
contribute to increased consumption. Following these tips could
