Intr oduction With the ignition switched on, it is possible
to r
e
ad the different functions of the display
by scrolling through the menus. In vehicles with multifunction steering wheel,
the multif
u
nction display can only be operat-
ed with the steering wheel buttons.
The number of menus displayed on the in-
strument panel will vary according to the ve-
hicle electronics and equipment.
A specialised workshop will be able to pro-
gramme or modify additional functions, ac-
cording to the vehicle equipment. SEAT rec-
ommends visiting a SEAT Official Service.
Some menu options can only be read when
the vehicle is at a standstill.
As long as a priority 1 warning is displayed, it
will not be possible to read the menus. Some
warning messages can be confirmed and made to disappear with the windscreen wiper
lever b
utton or the multifunction steering
wheel button.
The information system also provides the fol-
lowing information and displays (depending
on the vehicle's equipment):
