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
