Service interval display The service indication is shown on the dash
panel display
››› Fig. 34 4 .
SEAT distinguishes between services with en-
gine oi l
change (Interval Service) and serv-
ices without
engine oil change (Inspection
Service). The service interval display only
gives information for service dates which in-
volve an engine oil change. The dates for the
other services (e.g. the next Inspection Serv-
ice or change of brake fluid) are listed on the
label attached to the door strut, or in the
Maintenance Programme.
In vehicles with Services established by time
or mileage, the service intervals are already
pr e-defined.
In
vehicles with LongLife Service , the inter-
vals are determined individually. Technical
progress has made it possible to considera-
bly reduce servicing requirements. The tech-
nology used by SEAT ensures that your vehi-
cle only has an Interval Service when it is
necessary. To establish when the Interval
Service is due (max. 2 years), the vehicle's
conditions of use and individual driving
styles are considered. The service pre-warn-
ing first appears 20 days before the date es-
tablished for the corresponding service. The
kilometres (miles) remaining until the next
service are always rounded up to the nearest
100 km (miles) and the time is given in com-
plete days. The current service message can- not be viewed until 500 km after the last
service. Prior to this only lines are visible on
the display.
Inspection reminder
When the Service date is approaching, when
the ignition is switched on a
Service remind-
er
is displayed.
In
vehicles without text messages , a spanner
is displayed on the instrument panel with
a figure given in km. The number of kilome- tre
s shown is the maximum number that may
be driven until the next service. After a few
seconds, the display mode changes. A clock
symbol appears and the number of days until
the next service appointment is due.
In vehicles with text messages , Serv
ice in ---
km (miles) or --- days is displayed on the in- strument panel.
Service due
After the service date, an audible warning is
giv
en when the ignition is switched on and
the spanner displayed on the screen flashes
for a few seconds . In
vehicles with text
messages, Service in --- km or --- days is dis-
played on the instrument panel.
Reading a service notification
With the ignition switched on, the engine off
and the vehicle at a standstill, the current
service notification
can be read: ●
Press the button on the instrument pan-
el several times until the spanner symbol is
displayed
.
● OR:
select the Setting
s menu.
● From the
Service submenu, select the op-
tion Info.
When the service date has past , a minus
sign
is displayed in front of the number of kilome-
tres or days. In vehicles with text messages
the following is displayed: Service --- km
(miles) or --- days ago .
Resetting service interval display
If the service was not carried out by a techni-
cal service centre, the display can be reset as
follows:
In vehicles with text messages:
Select the Settings menu.
In the submenu Service, select the option Reset.
Confirm with OK when requested to do so by the sys-
tem.
In vehicles without text messages:
Switch the ignition off.
Press and hold the 0.0 / SET button.
Switch the ignition back on.44

CockpitIn vehicles without text messages:
Release the
0.0 / SET button and, press for the next
20 seconds. Do not
reset the indicator to zero between
tw
o intervals, otherwise the display will be
incorrect.
If, while the LongLife service is valid, the
service interval display is reset to zero, the
“service will be activated by time or mile-
age”. The service interval is no longer calcu-
lated individually ›››
Booklet Maintenance
Programme. Note
● The service message disappears after a few
seconds, when the engine is started or when OK is pressed.
● In vehicles with the LongLife system in
which the battery has been disconnected for
a long period of time, it is not possible to cal-
culate the date of the next service. Therefore
the service interval display may not be cor-
rect. In this case, bear in mind the maximum
service intervals permitted in the ››› Book-
let Maintenance Programme. Control lamps
Control and warning lamps The control and warning lamps are indicators
of warnings,
››› , faults
››› or certain func-
tions. Some control and warning lamps come
on when the ignition is switched on, and
switch off when the engine starts running, or
while driving.
Depending on the model, additional text
messages may be viewed on the instrument
panel display. These may be purely informa-
tive or they may be advising of the need for
action ›››
page 40, Instruments .
D ependin
g upon the equipment fitted in the
vehicle, instead of a warning lamp, some-
times a symbol may be displayed on the in-
strument panel.
When certain control and warning lamps are
lit, an audible warning is also heard.

The adaptive headlights only operate when
the dipped beam is on and at speeds of over
10 km/h (6 mph). On bends, the adaptive
headlights automatically improve lighting on
the road ahead.
The adaptive headlights can be switched on
and off from the infotainment system.
Static turning lights
When turning slowly to change direction or
going round a tight bend, the static cornering
lights automatically come on. The static cor-
nering lights only work at speeds of less than
40 km/h (25 mph).
The static cornering lights may be incorpora-
ted into the fog lights or the front headlights,
depending upon the equipment.
WARNING
If the road is not well lit and other road users
cannot see the vehicle well enough or at all,
accidents may occur. ●
The automatic dipped beam control ( )
only switches on the dipped beam when
there are no changes in brightness, and not,
for example when it is foggy.
● Never drive with daytime lights if the road
is not well lit due to weather or lighting con-
ditions. Daytime lights do not provide
enough light to illuminate the road properly
or be seen by other road users.
● The rear lights do not come on with the
daytime driving light. A vehicle which does
not have the rear lights on may not be visible
to other drivers in the darkness, if it is rain-
ing or in conditions of poor visibility. Headlight adjustment
Headlight adjustment (Light Assist)
The headlight adjustment automatically con-
nects and disconnects these lights depend-
ing on the environmental and traffic condi-
tions and on the speed, within the limitations
of the system

sensor located on the inside of the wind-
screen, above the interior rear vision mirror.
The automatic headlight adjustment auto-
matically switches on the lights depending
on the vehicles travelling in front and in the
opposite direction, and on other environmen-
tal and traffic conditions from an approxi-
mate speed of 60 km/h (37 mph) and turns »
