Overview of the warning lamps Read the additional information carefully
›››  page 18 WARNING
● Failure to observe control lamps and warn-
ing messages can result in serious personal
injuries or damage to your vehicle.
● The risk of an accident increases if your ve-
hicle breaks down. Use a warning triangle to
draw the attention of other road users in or-
der to prevent danger to third parties. ●
The engine compartment is a dangerous
area. Before you open the bonnet to work on
the engine or in the engine compartment,
switch the engine off and allow it to cool to
reduce the risk of burns or other injuries.
Read and observe the relevant warnings
››› page 166. Note
● The appropriate control lamp for a fault will
light up in vehicles without warning or infor-
mation messages in the display.
● In vehicles with warning or information
messages on the screen, the appropriate con-
trol lamp for a fault will light up and a warn-
ing or information message will also appear
on the screen. Warning symbols
There are red warning symbols (priority 1)
and yellow warning symbols (priority 2).
Warning messages, Priority 1 (red)
If one of these faults occurs, the warning
lamp will light up or flash and will be accom-
panied by
three audible warnings. This is a
danger warning. Stop the vehicle and switch
off the en

gine. Check the fault and correct it.
Obtain professional assistance if necessary.
If several priority 1 faults are detected at the
same time, the symbols will be displayed one after the other for about 2 seconds at a time
and will continue until the fault is corrected.
No menus will be shown in the display for the
duration of a priority 1 warning message.
Examples of priority 1 warning messages
(red)
● Brake system symbol 
with the warning
message STOP BRAKE FLUID INSTRUCTION
MANUAL or STOP BRAKE FAULT INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
● Coolant symbol  with the warning mes-
sage STOP SEE COOLANT INSTRUCTION MAN-
UAL.
● Engine oil pressure symbol  with the
warning message STOP ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
LOW! INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
Warning messages, Priority 2 (yellow)
If one of these faults occurs, the correspond-
ing warning lamp lights up and is accompa-
nied by an audible warning. Check the corre-
sponding function as soon as possible al-
though the vehicle may be used without risk.
If several priority 2 warning messages are de-
tected at the same time, the symbols are dis-
played one after the other for about 2 sec-
onds at a time. After a set time, the informa-
tion text will disappear and the symbol will
be shown as a reminder at the side of the
display. »

Control lamp  flashes
If a f
ault develops in the engine management
system while you are driving, the glow plug
system lamp will flash 
. Take the vehicle to
a specialised workshop as soon as possible
and have the engine checked.
Soot accumulation in the diesel
engine particulate filter*  If the control lamp
 lights up you should
help the filter clean itself by driving in the ap-
propriate manner.
To do this, drive about 15 minutes in fourth
or fifth gear (automatic gearbox: S gear
range) at a minimum speed of 60 km/h
(37 mph), with the engine running at approxi-
mately 2,000 rpm. In this way, the soot build
up in the filter is burned. When cleaning is
successful, the control lamp turns off.
If the lamp  does not turn off, or the three
lamps turn on (particulate filter , fault in
the emission control system  and glow
plugs ), drive the vehicle to a specialised
workshop and have the fault repaired at the
earliest opportunity. WARNING
● Always drive according to the road weather
conditions, the terrain and traffic. Driving rec- ommendations should never lead to illegal
manoeuvres in surrounding traffic.
●
The diesel engine particulate filter may
reach extremely high temperatures; in this
case the vehicle should be parked so that it
does not enter into contact with highly flam-
mable materials underneath the vehicle. Oth-
erwise there is a risk of fire. Engine oil pressure
 If this warning lamp
 is red it indicates
that the engine oil pressure is too low.
If this warning symbol starts to flash, and is
accompanied by three audible warnings,
switch off the engine and check the oil level.
If necessary, add more oil ››› page 170.
If the warning lamp flashes although the oil
level is correct, stop driving. Do not even run
the en gine at

idle speed! Obtain technical as-
sistance.
Checking the oil level 
If the warning lamp is yellow  the engine
oil level should be checked as soon as possi-
ble. Top up the oil ››› page 170 at the next
opportunity.
Oil level sensor faulty* 
If the  yellow warning lamp flashes, take
the vehicle to a specialised workshop to have the oil level sensor checked. Until then it is
advisable to check the oil level every time
you refuel.
Bulb defect*  The 
warning lamp lights up when there is
a f

ault on the turn signals, headlights, side
lights and fog lights.
Washer fluid*  This warning lamp lights up to indicate that
the windscreen washer level is very low.
This serves as a reminder to fill up the reser-
voir at the earliest opportunity

Rear fog light*  The warning lamp 
lights up when the rear
fog light is switched on. For further informa-
tion see ›››

off after approximately 2 seconds. This is the
time taken for the function check.
This programme includes the ABS, EDL and
ASR. It also includes emergency braking as-
sistance (BAS).
The warning lamp 
has the following
f
unctions:
● It flashes whilst driving when the ASR/ESC
is activated.
● It will light up if there is a fault in the ESC.
● As the ESC operates in conjunction with the
ABS, the ESC light will also come on if a fault
should occur in the ABS.
If the ESC control lamp  lights up and stays
on after the engine is started, this may mean
that the control system has temporarily
switched off the ESC. In this case the ESC can
be reactivated by switching the ignition off
and then on again. If the control lamp goes
out, this means the system is fully functional.
The  lamp provides information about the
disconnection status of the system:
● It stays lit when the ASR is disconnected
when pressing the  switch. Brake system*  Situations in which the warning lamp lights
up 
● the br ak

e fluid level is too low
››› page 173.
● there i

s a fault in the brake system.
This warning lamp can light up together with
the ABS system warning lamp. WARNING
● If the brake warning lamp does not go out
or if it lights up when driving, the brake fluid
level in the reservoir is too low so there is a
risk of an accident ››› page 173, Brake fluid.
Stop the vehicle and do not drive on. Obtain
technical assistance.
● If the brake warning lamp lights up  to-
gether with the ABS lamp  this could be
due to an ABS fault. This could cause the rear
wheels to lock quickly when you brake. This
could cause the rear to break away. Risk of
skidding. Stop the vehicle and seek technical
assistance. Cruise speed (cruise control)* 
The warning lamp  comes on when the
cruise control system is switched on. For fur-
ther information on the cruise control system

revolutions and with it, using the ESC, the
wheel diameter of each wheel. If the diame-
ter of a wheel changes, the tyre control lamp
 lights up. The wheel diameter changes
when:
● Tyre pressure is insufficient.
● The tyre structure is damaged.
● The vehicle is unbalanced because of a
load.
● The wheels of one axle are under more
pressure (for example, driving with a trailer or
on steep slopes).

When ther e i
s misfiring that can damage the
catalytic converter. Reduce speed and drive
carefully to the nearest specialised workshop
to have the engine checked.
The control lamp  lights up:
If a fault has developed during driving which
has reduced the quality of the exhaust gas
(e.g. lambda probe fault). Reduce speed and
drive carefully to the nearest specialised
workshop to have the engine checked.
Level*/Temperature of the coolant There is a fault if:
● The warning symbol does not go out again
after a few seconds.
● The warning lamp lights up or flashes while
the vehicle is moving, and three acoustic
warning signals ›
›
› are emitted.This means that either the coolant level is too
low or the coolant temperature is too high.
Coolant temperature too high
If the warning lamp comes on,
stop the vehi-
cle, turn off the engine and wait for it to cool
down. Check the coolant level.
If the c

oolant level is correct, the overheating
may be caused by a malfunction of the radia-
tor fan. Check the radiator fan fuse and have
it replaced if necessary ››› page 195.
If the control lamp lights up again after driv-
ing on for a short distance, stop the vehicle
and switch the engine off
. Contact a Techni-
cal Service or a specialised workshop.
Coolant level too low
If the warning lamp comes on , stop the vehi-
cle, turn off the engine and wait for it to cool
down
. First check the coolant level. If the lev-
el of the coolant is below the “MIN” mark,
top up with coolant liquid ››› .
WARNING
● If your vehicle is immobilised for technical
reasons, move it to a safe distance from traf-
fic. Turn the engine off, turn the hazard lights
on and place the warning triangle.
● Never open the bonnet if you can see or
hear steam or coolant escaping from the en-
gine compartment. Risk of scalding. Wait un- til you can no longer see or hear escaping
steam or coolant.
●
The engine compartment is a dangerous
area. Before carrying out any work in the en-
gine compartment, switch off the engine and
allow it to cool down. Always note the corre-
sponding warnings ››› page 166. Alternator 
This warning lamp signals a fault in the alter-
nator.
The warning lamp  lights up when the igni-
tion is switched on. It should go out when the
engine has started running.
If the warning lamp
 lights up while driv-
ing, the alternator is no longer charging the
battery. You should immediately drive to the
nearest specialised workshop.
You should avoid using electrical equipment
that is not absolutely necessary because this
will drain the battery.
Turn signals   Depending on which turn signal is operating,
either the left
 or right  turn signal lamp
flashes. Both control lamps will flash at the
same time when the hazard warning lights
are switched on. »

S EA
T distinguishes between services with
en-
gine oil change (e.g. Interval Service) and
services without
engine oil change (e.g. In- spection Service). The service interval display
only indicates the dates of services that in-
clude engine oil change. The dates of all oth-
er services, such as Inspection Service or
brake fluid change, appear in the sticker on
the door pillar or in the Maintenance Pro-
gramme.
Vehicles with
service intervals dependent on
time/distance travelled already have certain
service intervals set.
The intervals are calculated separately in ve-
hicles with LongLife service. Technical pro-
gre

ss has made it possible to considerably
reduce servicing requirements. With the
LongLife System, SEAT ensures that your ve-
hicle only has an interval service when it is
necessary. To calculate this (max. two years),
the conditions under which the vehicle is
used and the individual driving style are also
taken into account. The service pre-warning
will appear at 20 days or less prior to the cor-
responding service. The distance travelled is
rounded off to the nearest 100 km and the
time to full days. The current service message
can only be consulted 500 km or more after
the last service. Until that time, only dashes
are displayed.
Service warning
A service warning will appear when the igni-
tion i

s switched on if a service is due soon. The instrument panel display will show the
“spanner symbol”
 and the “km (miles)”
indication, along with a clock symbol with
the days remaining until the date of the next
service. The figure indicated is the maximum
number of kilometres (miles) remaining be-
fore the date of the next service. The indica-
tion changes after a few seconds. A “clock
symbol” appears and the number of days un-
til the service appointment should be carried
out.
Service
If a service is due, an audible warning will
sound and the flashing “spanner”  symbol
will be shown along with the fixed text SERV-
ICE.
If no service is carried out following the indi-
cation on the instrument panel, the excess
distance travelled and the excess time follow-
ing the SERVICE warning will be displayed.
Reading the service message
The current service message can be c
onsul-
ted with the ignition on, the engine switched
off and the vehicle at a standstill:
● Press the  button on the instrument pan-
el as often as necessary until the “spanner”
symbol  is displayed.
