from when the ignition is switched
on to when it is switched off.
If the journey is continued in less
than 2 hours after the ignition is
switched off, the new data is added
to the data already stored in the
memory. The memory will automati-
cally be deleted if the journey is in-
terrupted for more than 2 hours.

specific number of partial trips, up
to a total of 19 hours and 59 mi-
nutes or 99 hours and 59 minutes,
or 1999.9 km or 9999 km, depend-
ing on the model of instrument pan-

is made at 10 km/h (5 mph) intervals. Note
● Ple a

se bear in mind that, even with the
speed warning function, it is still important
to keep an eye on the vehicle speed with the
speedometer and to observe the legal speed
limits.

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 advance warning first appears 20
days before the date established for the cor-
responding 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 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

Operation
will initiate acoustic and optical warning sig-
n al
s
when your vehicle is tried to be forced.
The anti-theft alarm system is automatically
switched on when locking the vehicle. The
system is immediately activated and the turn
signal light located on the driver door will
flash along with the turn signals, indicating
that the alarm and the locking security sys-
tem (double lock) have been turned on.
If any of the doors or the bonnet are open,
they will not be included in the protection
zones of the vehicle when the alarm is con-
nected. If the door or the bonnet are subse-
quently closed, they will be automatically in-
cluded in the protection areas of the vehicle
and the turn signals will flash accordingly
when the doors close.
● The turn signal light will flash twice on
opening and deactiv
ating the alarm.
● The turn signal light will flash once on clos-
ing and activatin
g the alarm.
When does the system trigger an alarm?
The system triggers an alarm, if the following
unauthorised actions are carried out when
the vehicle is locked:
● Mechanical opening of the vehicle with the
vehicl
e key without switching on the ignition
in the next 15 seconds (in certain markets, such as the Netherlands, the alarm is activa-
ted immediat

ely).
● A door is opened.
● Opening the bonnet.
● The rear lid is opened.
● Ignition switched on with a non-validated
key.
● Mo

vements in the driving compartment
(vehicl
es with a volume sensor).
● Towing of the vehicle 1)
.
● Vehicle tilt angle 1)
.
● Undue manipulation of the alarm.
● Battery handling.
In this c
ase, the acoustic signals will go off
and the turn signal will flash for approximate-
ly 30 seconds. This cycle may be repeated up
to 10 times depending on the country.
Opening all the doors in manual mode
In vehicles without an alarm, when opening
the driver door manually, all doors are
opened.
How to switch the alarm off
To deactivate the anti-theft alarm, turn the
key in the opening direction, open the door and switch the ignition on, or press the un-
lock b

utton  on the remote control.
In v
ehic
les equipped with an anti-theft alarm
system, you have 15 seconds to insert the
key in the ignition lock and activate the igni-
tion if the vehicle is opened using the driver
door key.
Otherwise, the alarm will trigger for 30 sec.
and the ignition will be blocked. Note
● Aft er 28 d

ays, the indicator light will be
switched off to prevent the battery from
draining if the vehicle has been left parked
for a long period of time. The alarm system
remains activated.
● The alarm will trigger again if attempts are
made t
o open another protection zone.
● The alarm system can be activated or deac-
tivated u
sing the radio frequency remote con-
trol ››› page 110.
● The anti-theft alarm is not activated when
the vehic
le is locked from within using the
central locking button  .
● If the vehicle battery is run down or flat
then the anti-theft a

larm will not operate cor-
rectly.
● Vehicle monitoring remains active even if
the batter
y is disconnected or not working for
any reason. 1)
