to the gear display indicating whether you
should change up or down. Note
The gear change indication should not be tak-
en into account when quick acceleration is re-
quired (for example when overtaking). Odometer
The left-hand counter in the display registers
the total amount of distance covered by the
vehicle.
The right-hand counter registers the short
journeys. The last digit indicates steps of 100
metres. The trip recorder counter may be re-
set by holding down the reset button for a
few seconds.
Flexible service interval display Vehicles with
Service intervals dependent on
time/distance travelled already have certain
service intervals set. The intervals are calcu-
lated individually in vehicles with LongLife
service .
The ser v
ice interval display only indicates the
dates of services that include engine oil
change. The dates of all other services, such
as the Inspection Service or brake fluid change, appear in the sticker on the door pil-
lar or in the Maintenance Programme.
A
Service pre-warning will appear in the od-
ometer if a service is due soon. A “spanner”
symbol appears and the display “km” with
the distance that can be driven until the next
service appointment is due. This signal
changes after around 10 seconds. A “clock
symbol” appears and the number of days un-
til the service appointment should be carried
out. The following message is shown in the
instrument panel display*:
Service in
[XXXX]
kmor
[XXXX]
days
The service message will disappear approxi-
mately 20 seconds after the ignition is
switched on or the engine is running. The
normal display can be resumed by briefly
pressing the reset button on the trip counter
or by pressing the OK button on the steering
wheel controls.
With the ignition on, you can check the cur-
rent service message at any moment in the
Vehicle status menu or turning the reset but-
ton to access the service display. An
overdue service
is indicated by a minus
s

ign in front of the mileage or day informa-
tion.
Indications for vehicles with LongLife service
Technical progress has made it possible to
considerably reduce servicing requirements.
With the LongLife System, SEAT ensures that
your vehicle only has an Interval Service
when it is necessary. The length of the Inter-
val Services (max. 2 years) is determined by
factors such as conditions under which the
vehicle is used and personal driving style.
The service pre-warning will first appear 20
days before the date on which the service is
due. The distance travelled is rounded off to
the nearest 100 km and the time to full days.
The current service message can only be con-
sulted 500 km after the last service. Until
that time, only dashes are displayed. Note
● If you reset the display manually, the next
service interval will be indicated after
15,000 km or one year and will not be calcu-
lated individually.
● Do not reset the display between service
intervals as the display will otherwise be in-
correct. 48

Advice
●
At continuously high speeds, a tyre with in-
sufficient pressure flexes more. In this way it
becomes too hot, and this can cause tread
separation and tyre blow-out. Always observe
the recommended tyre pressures.
● If the tyre pressure is too low or too high,
the tyres will wear prematurely and the vehi-
cle will not handle well. Risk of accident! For the sake of the environment
Under-inflated tyres will increase fuel con-
sumption. Tyre pressure monitoring
The tyre pressure monitoring system con-
stantly checks the pressure of the tyres.
The system uses the speed sensors of the
ABS wheels. It operates by analysing the
speed and frequency spectrum of each
wheel.
For optimum performance, use genuine SEAT
tyres. In addition, check and adjust tyre pres-
sures regularly.
Whenever the tyre pressure is are changed or
one or more tyres are changed, the system
should be reset by pressing the SET button
on the centre console.
The system warns the driver in the event of a
loss of pressure by means of symbols and messages in the instrument panel display.
The system operates via the ESC
››› page 134.
Note that tyre pressure also depends on tyre
temperature. Said pressure increases around
0.1 bar (2.9 psi/10 kPa) for each +10 °C
(+50 °F) in tyre temperature increase. The tyre
heats up while the vehicle is being driven
and the tyre pressure will rise accordingly.
Therefore, you should only adjust the tyre
pressure when they are cold (i.e. approxi-
mately at ambient temperature).
To ensure that the tyre pressure monitoring
system works reliably, you should check and,
if necessary, adjust the tyre pressures at reg-
ular intervals and store the correct pressures
(reference values) in the system.
A tyre pressure information label is attached
to the inside of the fuel tank flap. WARNING
● Never adjust tyre pressure when the tyres
are hot. This may damage or even burst the
tyres. Risk of accident!
● An insufficiently inflated tyre flexes a lot
more at high speeds and causes significant
heating of the tyre. Under these conditions,
the tyre bead may be released or the tyre may
burst. Risk of accident! For the sake of the environment
Under-inflated tyres lead to increased fuel
consumption and tyre wear. Significant tyre pressure loss
The tyre symbol
 is displayed and indicates
th at
the tyre pressure of at least one tyre is
insufficient.
– Stop the vehicle.
– Switch the ignition off.
– Check the tyre(s).
– Change the wheel if necessary.
