ed when the ignition is switched on. When
the ignition is switched on the last function
selected before it was switched off is dis-
played.
The multifunction display data is shown on
the screen
›››

In vehicles fitted with an informative display
››› page 43 the system can be adjusted so
that
certain data is not shown. WARNING
Always keep your attention on driving! As the
driver, you have the full responsibility for the
safety of traffic. Note
● If the second speed in mph (km/h) is dis-
played, the current speed in km/h (mph) is
not displayed on the screen. Memory
Fig. 26
Multifunction display. The multifunction display has two automatic
memories. The selected memory is displayed
on the screen
››› Fig. 26 .
The c urr
ent journey data (memory 1) is al-
ways displayed when the number 1
appears
on the display. When number 2 appears on
the display, the total distance travelled is
shown (memory 2).
Depending on the equipment package, the
memory is selected by:
● briefly pressing the B button on the lever

urr
ent journey memory (memory 1)
The current journey memory collects data
from the moment the ignition is switched on
until it is switched off. If the journey is contin-
ued
within two hours of switching off the ig-
nition, the new values will be added to the
existing trip recorder memory. The memory
will automatically be deleted if the journey is
interrupted for
more than 2 hours.
Total distance travelled memory (memory 2)
The total distance travelled memory collects
journey data from any number of individual
journeys up to a maximum of 19 hours and
59 minutes and 1999 km or until 99 hours
and 59 minutes and 9999 km in cars with an
informative display. The memory will auto-
matically be deleted if one of the named val-
ues is reached, resetting the data collected.
Unlike the current journey memory, this
memory is not deleted, even when the igni-
tion is switched off for more than 2 hours. Note
After disconnecting the battery, all the values
stored in memories 1 and 2 are deleted. 39

Resetting service interval display
The service interval display can be reset only
after a service message or pre-warning has
been displayed in the general instrument
panel display.
To reset the display, it is advisable to visit a
technical service, to perform the following ac-
tions:
● reset the display memory after performing
the applicable inspection,
● record the information in the Maintenance
Programme,
● place a sticker on the side of the instru-
ment panel in the driver area indicating the
date of the next inspection.
The service interval display can be reset by
pressing the 6
››› Fig. 24
›
›› page 30 button.
In vehicles equipped with an informative dis-
play the service interval display can be reset
from the menu, Settings ››› page 44. CAUTION
We advise against resetting the service inter-
val display yourself, given that this action
could upset service intervals, and as a result,
lead to faults in the vehicle. Note
● Never reset the display between service in-
tervals as this could lead to erroneous indica-
tions.
● After disconnecting the battery of the vehi-
cle, the service interval display values remain
stored.
● If the general instrument panel is changed
after a repair, the correct values must be in-
put in the service interval display. This opera-
tion is carried out by a specialised service.
● After resetting the display with flexible
service intervals, the information will be indi-
cated in the same way as vehicles with fixed
service intervals. Therefore, we recommend
that a SEAT Authorised Service resets the
service interval display, who will do so cor-
rectly using diagnostics equipment.
● For more detailed information, please con-
sult the Maintenance Programme. Communication
