Even though outside temperatures are above
freezing, some roads and bridges may be icy.
● At outside temperatures above +4°C
(+39°F), even when the “ice crystal symbol”
is not visible, there may still be patches of ice
on the road.
● Never rely on the outside temperature indi-
cator! Note
● Different versions of the instrument panel
are available and therefore the versions and instructions on the display may vary. In the
case of displays without warning or informa-
tion texts, faults are indicated exclusively by
the warning lamps.
● Depending on the equipment, some set-
tings and instructions can also be carried out
in the Easy Connect system.
● When several warnings are active at the
same time, the symbols are shown succes-
sively for a few seconds and will stay on until
the fault is rectified. Trip recorder

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)
››› in Dis-

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).

● Only set the timer or consult statistics

● 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.
