Instruments and warning/control lamps
The display 6
››› Fig. 82 only works when
the ignition i s
switched on. When the display
reaches the reserve mark, the lower diode
lights up in red and the control lamp 
ap-
pears ››› page 66. When the fuel level is very
low
, the lower diode flashes in red.
The distance to empty fuel level is displayed
on the instrument panel 3
››› Fig. 82 .
The c ap

acity of the fuel tank of your vehicle is
given in the Technical data section
››› page 268. CAUTION
Never run the fuel tank completely dry. An ir-
regular fuel supply could cause misfiring. In
this way the unburned fuel can reach the ex-
haust system, which could cause the catalytic
converter to overheat resulting in damage. Control lamps

The c ontr

ol and warning lamps are indicators
of warnings, ››› , faults
››› or certain func-
tions. Some control and warning lamps come
on when the ignition is switched on, and
switch off when the engine starts running, or
while driving. Depending on the model, additional text
messages may be viewed on the instrument
panel display. These may be purely informa-
tive or they may be advising of the need for
action

g upon the equipment fitted in the
vehicle, instead of a warning lamp, some-
times a symbol may be displayed on the in-
strument panel.
When certain control and warning lamps are
lit, an audible warning is also heard. WARNING
If the warning lamps and messages are ignor-
ed, 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 traffic and en-
sure that there are no highly flammable ma-
terials under the vehicle that could come into
contact with the exhaust system (e.g. dry
grass, fuel).
● A faulty vehicle represents a risk of acci-
dent for the driver and for other road users. If
necessary, switch on the hazard warning
lamps and put out the warning triangle to ad-
vise 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 inju-
ries ››› page 198. CAUTION
Failure to heed the control lamps and text
messages when they appear may result in
faults in the vehicle. Engine management* 
This warning lamp monitors the engine man-
agement system for petrol engines.
The warning lamp  (Electronic Power Con-
trol) lights up when the ignition is switched
on while system operation is being verified. It
should go out once the engine is started.
If there is a fault in the electronic engine
management system while you are driving,
this warning lamp will light up. Stop the vehi-
cle and seek technical assistance.

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 operat-
ed with the steering wheel buttons.
The number of menus displayed on the in-
strument panel will vary according to the ve-
hicle electronics and equipment.
A specialised workshop will be able to pro-
gramme or modify additional functions, ac-
cording to the vehicle equipment. SEAT rec-
ommends 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 disappear with the windscreen wiper
lever button or the multifunction steering
wheel button.
The information system also provides the fol-
lowing information and displays (depending
on the vehicle's equipment):Driving data

When the outside temperature is below +4°C
(+39°F), the symbol “ice crystal” (warning ofrisk of freezing) is also displayed next to the
temperature. At first this symbol flashes and
then it remains lit until the outside tempera-
ture rises above +6°C (+43°F)

plays on screen on page 69 .
When the v

ehicle is at a standstill or when
travelling at very low speeds, the tempera-

outside temperature as a result of the heat
produced by the engine.
The temperatures measured range from
-40°C to +50°C (-40°F to +122°F).
Gear-change indicator Fig. 90
Instrument panel: gear-change indica-

recommended if the gear you are in is not the
most economical choice.
If no gear-change is recommended, it means
that you are already in the most economical
gear.
Vehicles with a manual gearbox
The following display symbols ››› Fig. 90
mean:
●  Change to a higher gear: the suggested
gear appears to the right of the current gear
when a higher gear is recommended
.
●  Change to a lower gear: the suggested

when a lower gear is recommended .
The gear recommendation may occasionally
skip a gear (2nd  4th).
Vehicles with an automatic gearbox*

.
The following display symbols mean:
●  Shifting up a gear
●  Shifting down a gear CAUTION
The gear-change indicator is intended to help
save fuel, but it is not intended to recom-
mend the right gear for all driving situations. In certain situations, only the driver can
choose the correct gear (for instance when
overtaking, driving up a steep gradient or
towing a trailer).
Note
The display disappears from the instrument
panel when you press the clutch pedal. Bonnet, rear lid and doors open
When the ignition is switched on or when
