● While driving, do not handle the timer in
complicated driving situations. Speed warning function
Introduction The speed warning function will warn the
driver if a pre-set maximum speed is excee-
ded. The system gives an warning buzzer sig-
nal if the set speed is exceeded by about 3
km/h. The warning lamp
and the driver
message Speed limit exceeded!
will be dis-
played simultaneously on the instrument
panel display. The warning lamp switches
off when reducing speed below the stored
maximum limit.
You are recommended to store this speed
limit warning if you always wish to be re-
minded of a particular speed limit. This could
be when driving in countries with general speed limits, or if a particular speed should
not be exceeded when winter tyres are fitted
etc.
Note
● Please bear in mind that, even with the
speed warning function, it is still important
to keep an eye on the vehicle speed with the
speedometer and to observe the legal speed
limits.
● The speed limit warning function in the ver-
sion for several countries warns you at a
speed of 120 km/h (80 mph). This is a facto-
ry-set speed limit. Setting speed limit warning
You can use the radio or the Easy Connect* to
set, alter or cancel the speed limit warning.

Service interval display Service interval display The service interval indication appears on the
instrument panel display
››› Fig. 82 4 .
SEAT distinguishes between services with en-
gine oi l
change (e.g. Oil change service) and
services without
engine oil change (e.g. In-
spection).
In vehicles with Services established by time
or mileage, the service intervals are already
pr e-defined.
In
vehicles with LongLife Service , the inter-
vals are determined individually. Technical
progress has made it possible to considera-
bly reduce servicing requirements. The tech-
nology used by SEAT ensures that your vehi-
cle only has an Oil Servicing when it is neces-
sary. To establish when the oil servicing is
due (max. 2 years), the vehicle's conditions
of use and individual driving styles are con-
sidered. The service pre-warning first ap-
pears 20 days before the date established for
the corresponding service. The kilometres
(miles) remaining until the next service are
always rounded up to the nearest 100 km
(miles) and the time is given in complete
days. The current service message cannot be
viewed until 500 km after the last service. Pri-
or to this only lines are visible on the display. Inspection reminder
When the Service date is approaching, when
the ignition is switched on a
Service remind-
er is displayed.
In vehicles without text messages , a s
panner
is displayed on the instrument panel with
a figure giv
en in km. The number of kilome-
tres shown is the maximum number that may
be driven until the next service. After a few
seconds, the display mode changes. A clock
symbol appears and the number of days until
the next service appointment is due.
In vehicles with text messages , Serv
ice in ---
km (miles) or --- days is displayed on the in- strument panel.
Service due
After the service date, an audible warning is
given when the ignition i
s switched on and
the spanner displayed on the screen flashes
for a few seconds . In
vehicles with text
messages, Service in --- km or --- days is dis-
played on the instrument panel.
Reading a service notification
With the ignition switched on, the engine off
and the vehicle at a standstill, the current
service notification
can be read:
Press and hold the button ››› Fig. 82 4 for
more than 5 seconds to consult the service
message. When the service date has past
, a minus sign
is displayed in front of the number of kilome-
tres or days. In vehicles with text messages
the following is displayed: Service --- km
(miles) or --- days ago .
The time can also be set via the key and
Setup function button in the Easy Connect
system ››› page 81 .
R e
setting service interval display
If the service was not carried out by a SEAT
dealership, the display can be reset as fol-
lows:
● To reset the service interval display, turn
the ignition off and press and hold the but-
ton ››› Fig. 82 4 .
● Switch the ignition back on.
● Release the button ››› Fig. 82 4 and press
the button 4 again for the next 20 seconds.
Note
● The service message disappears after a few
seconds, when the engine is started or when OK/RESET is pressed on the windscreen wiper
lever, or OK on the multifunction steering
wheel.
● In vehicles with the LongLife system in
which the battery has been disconnected for
a long period of time, it is not possible to cal-
culate the date of the next service. Therefore
the service interval display may not be cor- rect. In this case, bear in mind the maximum 80

Opening and closing Central locking system Description The vehicle can be locked and unlocked via
the central locking system. There are several
methods, depending on the vehicle equip-
ment:
●
key with remote control ››› page 84 ,
● lock on driver door (emergency opening
››› page 227 ) or
● int erior c
entral locking switch ››› page 85.
Unlocking one side of the vehicle only
When you lock the vehicle with the key, the
doors and the rear lid are locked. When you
open the door, you can either unlock only the
driver door
, or all the vehicle doors. To select
the required option, use Easy Connect*
››› page 85
.
Automatic locking (Auto Lock)*
The Auto Lock function locks the doors and
the rear lid when the vehicle exceeds a speed
of about 15 km/h (10 mph).
The vehicle is unlocked again when the igni-
tion key is removed. Alternatively, the vehicle
can also be unlocked via the central locking
switch or by pulling one of the inside door handles. The Auto Lock function can be
switched on and off on the sound system or
on the Easy Connect* system
››› page 85.
In the event of an accident in which the air-
bags inflate, the doors will be automatically
unlocked to facilitate access and assistance.
Anti-theft alarm system*
If the anti-theft alarm system senses interfer-
ence with the vehicle it triggers an audible
and visible alarm.
The anti-theft alarm system is automatically
switched on when locking the vehicle. It
switches off when the vehicle is unlocked
from a distance.
When the driver door is unlocked with the
key, you should switch on the ignition within
15 seconds. Otherwise the alarm will be trig-
gered. On some export versions, the alarm is
triggered immediately when you open a door.
To deactivate the alarm, press the button on the remote control key, or switch on the
ignition. After a certain time, the alarm will
automatically switch off.
Switch off the vehicle interior monitoring and
tow-away protection if you wish to prevent
the alarm from being triggered accidentally

urn s
ignals
The turn signals will flash twice when the ve-
hicle is unlocked and once when the vehicle
is locked.
If it does not flash, this indicates that one of
the doors, the rear lid or the bonnet is not
closed correctly.
Accidental lock-out
The central locking system prevents you from
being locked out of the vehicle in the follow-
ing situations:
● If the driver door is open, the vehicle can-
not be locked with the central locking switch
››› page 85.
Loc
k the vehicle with the remote control key,
when all the doors and the rear lid have been
closed. This prevents the accidental locking
of the vehicle. WARNING
Do not leave anyone (especially children) in
the vehicle if it is locked from the outside and
the anti-theft security system* is enabled, as
the doors and windows cannot then be
opened from the inside. Locked doors could
delay assistance in an emergency, potentially
putting lives at risk. 82
