on the instrument panel, as well as a mes-
s ag
e for the driv
er: speed warning ex-
ceeded! The warning lamp  switches off
when reducing speed below the stored maxi-
mum limit.
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
You can use the radio or the Easy Connect* to
set, alter or cancel the speed limit warning.
● Vehicles with radio : press
the button SETUP> control button  Driver Assistant
>
Speed warning .
● Vehicles with Easy Connect : pre
ss

the but-
ton Systems or else Vehicle systems >
Driver assistant > Speed 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 intervals. Note
● Plea se be

ar 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. ●
The speed limit w arnin

g function in the ver-
sion for several countries warns you at a
speed of 120 km/h (80 mph). This is a facto-
ry-set speed limit. Service intervals

SEAT di s
tinguishes 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, only
line

s 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

g wheel.
– Adjust the head restraint so that its upper
edge is at

the same level as the top of your
head, or as close as possible to the same
level as the top of your head ››› Fig. 76.
– Move the seat backrest to an upright posi-
tion so that y

our back rests completely

Safety
●
Adjust the driv
er's seat so that there is at
least 25 cm distance between the centre of
the chest and the centre of the steering
wheel ››› Fig. 75. If distance is less than 25
cm, the airbag system may not protect you
properly.
● If your physical constitution prevents you
from maintainin
g the minimum distance of 25
cm, contact a specialised workshop. The
workshop will help you decide if special spe-
cific modifications are necessary.
● When driving, always hold the steering
wheel with both hand
s on the outside of the
ring at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions.
This reduces the risk of injury when the driver
airbag is triggered.
● Never hold the steering wheel at the 12
o'clock po
sition, or in any other manner (e.g.
in the centre of the steering wheel). In such
cases, if the airbag is triggered, you may sus-
tain injuries to the arms, hands and head.
● To reduce the risk of injury to the driver
during sudden br
aking manoeuvres or an ac-
cident, never drive with the backrest tilted far
back! The airbag system and seat belts can
only provide optimal protection when the
backrest is in an upright position and the
driver is wearing his or her seat belt correct-
ly.
● Adjust the head restraint properly to ach-
ieve optimal

● An incorrect s

itting position of the front
passenger can lead to severe injuries.
● Adjust the front passenger seat so that
there is at
least 25 cm between your chest
and the dash panel. If distance is less than

Safety
WARNING
● Any inc orr
ect sitting position increases the
risk of severe injuries.
● Sitting in an incorrect position exposes the
vehicle oc
cupants to severe injuries if airbags
are triggered, by striking a vehicle occupant
who has assumed an incorrect sitting posi-
tion.
● Before the vehicle moves, assume the prop-
er sitting pos
ition and maintain it throughout
the trip. Before every trip, instruct your pas-
sengers to sit properly and to stay in this po-
sition during the trip ››› page 57, Correct posi-
tion for passengers. Correct adjustment of front head re-

tr
aint s Fig. 77
Correctly adjusted head restraint as
v iew
ed fr om the fr

ont and the side. Properly adjusted head restraints are an im-
por
t
ant p

art of passenger protection and can
reduce the risk of injuries in most accident
situations.
– Adjust the head restraint so that its upper
edge is, as

far as possible, at the same lev-
el as the top of your head, or at the very
least, at eye level ››› Fig. 77. WARNING
● Trav el

ling with the head restraints removed
or improperly adjusted increases the risk of
severe injuries. An improper adjustment of
the head restraints may cause death in an ac-
cident and increase the risk of suffering inju-
ries during abrupt braking actions or unex-
pected manoeuvres.
● The head restraints must always be adjus-
ted accor
ding to the height of the passenger. Correct adjustment of rear head re-

Operation
●
If pos s
ible, use the rear vision mirror to es-
timate distances to vehicles behind you.
● Make sure that you do not get your finger
trapped between the mirr
or and the mirror
base when folding back the mirrors. Risk of
injury! For the sake of the environment
The exterior mirror heating should be switch-
ed off when it i s

no longer needed. Other-
wise, it is an unnecessary fuel waste. Note
● If the electric a

l adjustment ever fails to op-
erate, the mirrors can be adjusted by hand by
lightly pressing the edge of the mirror glass.
● In vehicles with electric exterior mirrors,
the follo
wing points should be observed: if,
due to an external force (e.g. being knocked
while manoeuvring), the adjustment of the
mirror housing is altered, the mirror will have
to be fully folded electrically. Do not readjust
the rear vision mirror housing by hand, as
this will interfere with the mirror adjuster
function.
● The rear vision mirrors can be adjusted sep-
arately or s
imultaneously, as described
above.
● The fold-in function on the exterior mirrors
will
not activate at speeds over 40 km/h
(25 mph). Seats and head restraints

The safe driving chapter contains important
information, tip s, s

uggestions and warnings
that you should read and observe for your
own safety and the safety of your passengers
››› page 56. WARNING
● Never adju s

t the driver or front passenger
seat while the vehicle is in motion. While ad-
justing your seat, you will assume an incor-
rect sitting position. Risk of accidents. Adjust
the driver or front passenger seat only when
the vehicle is stationary.
● To reduce the risk of injury to the driver and
front pa
ssenger in case of a sudden braking
or an accident, never drive with the backrest
tilted towards the rear. The maximum protec-
tion of the seat belt can be achieved only
when the backrests are in an upright position
and the driver and front passenger have prop-
erly adjusted their seat belts. The further the backrests are tilted to the rear, the greater
the risk of
injur

y due to improper positioning
of the belt web!
● Exercise caution when securing the seat
height into for
wards/backwards position. In-
juries can be caused if the seat height is ad-
justed without due care and attention.
● To move the seat forwards and backwards,
pull
upwards and not sideways on the lever,
as the force exerted on it in that direction
could damage it. Folding and lifting the backrest of the
fr
ont
seat
