Speed warning programming is recommen-
ded if you wish to be reminded of a maxi-
mum speed, such as when travelling in a
country with different speed limits or for a
maximum speed for winter tyres.
Setting speed limit warning

The warning limit can be set from 30 to
240 km/h (20 to 150 mph). The adjustment
is done in 10 km/h (mph) intervals. Note
● Ple a
se bear in mind that, even with the

to keep an eye on the vehicle speed with the
speedometer and to observe the legal speed
limits. ●
The speed limit  w
arning function in the ver-

SEA T di
stinguishes between services  with en-
gine oil change (e.g. Oil change service) and
services  without engine oil change (e.g. In-
spection).
In vehicles with  Services established by time
or mileage, the service intervals are already
pre-defined.
In vehicles with  LongLife Service , the inter-
vals are determined individually. Thanks to
technological progress, maintenance work
has been greatly reduced. Because of the
technology used by SEAT, with this service
you only need to change the oil when the ve-
hicle so requires. To calculate this change
(max. 2 years), the vehicle's conditions of
use and individual driving styles are consid-
ered. The pre-warning first appears 20 days
before the date established for the corre-
sponding service. The kilometres (miles) re-
maining until the next service are always
rounded up to the nearest 100 km (miles)
and the time is given in complete days. The
current service message cannot be viewed until 500 km after the last service. Prior to
this, on
ly
 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.
Vehicles without text messages : a span-
ner  will be displayed on the instrument
panel plus an indication in  km.
The kilometres indicated are the maximum
number of kilometres that can be travelled
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 is due.
Vehicles with text messages : Service in
--- km or --- days  will be shown on the
instrument panel display.
Service due
When the service date is due , an audible
warning is given when the ignition is switch-
ed on and the spanner displayed on the
screen flashes for a few seconds .
Vehicles with text messages : Service now
will be shown on the instrument panel dis-
play. » 33
