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

Information system
Current fuel consumption
Current fuel consumption is indicated on the
display in litres/100 km (miles) 1)
. You can
adapt your driving style to the required con-
sumption with the assistance of this indica-
tor.
The consumption is displayed in litres per
hour while the vehicle is stopped or at idling
speed 2)
.
Average fuel consumption
The display shows the average fuel consump-
tion in litres/100 km 1)
calculated since the
memory was last reset ››› page 39.
If you wish to measure the average fuel con-
sumption for a specific period, the memory
must first be deleted ››› page 40. While driv-
ing the first 300 m after deleting the memory
this value is not shown on the display.
The value is updated regularly while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
Operating range
The approximate operating range is indicated
in kilometres (miles) on the display. It shows how far the vehicle can travel with the availa-
ble fuel using the same driving conditions as
a reference.
The operating range is calculated in sections
of 10 kilometres (miles). When the fuel
gauge enters the reserve zone, the operating
range is displayed in steps of 5 kilometres.
The operating range is calculated based on
the fuel consumption during the last 50 kilo-
metres (miles). The operating range increa-
ses when driving in a more economical man-
ner.
When the memory is reset (after disconnect-
ing the battery), the operating range is calcu-
lated with a 10 litres per 100 km consump-
tion and adjusts to represent the current driv-
ing style.
Distance
The display shows the distance you have cov-
ered since the memory was last reset
››› page 39 . If you wish to measure the dura-
tion of a j
ourney from a specific moment, the
memory must be deleted ››› page 40.
The maximum value for both memories is
1999 km (miles), or 9999 km (miles) in vehi- cles fitted with an informative display. The
memory is reset if this value is exceeded.
Average speed
The display shows the average speed in
km/h (mph) calculated from the last time the
memory was reset
››› page 39. If you wish to
mea

sure the average speed for a specific pe-
riod, the memory must first be deleted

Operation
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
