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

Voice control Fig. 33
Multifunction steering wheel: voice
control. The time during which the system is ready to
receive voice commands and execute them is
called dialogue. The system provides acous-
tic warnings and if necessary, will guide you
through the respective functions.
It is recommended to use the
Help menu the
first time that voice control is used in order to
familiarize yourself with this function.
Optimum operation of the voice commands
depends on several factors:
● Speak slowly and clearly, as far as possi-
ble. The system will not recognise words pro-
nounced unclearly, or words and numbers in
which syllables are omitted. ●
Speak with normal voice volume, without
exaggerated intonation or long pauses.
● Close the doors, windows and sunroof for
the purpose of dampening or insulating
against unwanted noise from the exterior. Do
not aim the air from the diffusers at the roof.
● If you are driving very fast, it is recommen-
ded that you speak a little louder.
● While talking, avoid making other noise in-
side the vehicle, i.e., occupants that are talk-
ing at the same time.
● Do not speak when the system is providing
information. »
