The essentials
● Vehicle
s
with Easy Connect : press 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 149 mph). The adjustment
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.
● The speed limit warning function in the ver-
sion for some c
ountries warns you at a speed
of 120 km/h (75 mph). This is a factory-set
speed limit. Service intervals

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 y
ears), 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 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. » 41

e i
s
a manual unlocking device located under the console of the selector lever, on
the right. Rel
easing the selector lever re-
quires a certain degree of practical skill.
● Unlocking: use the flat part of a screwdriver
bla
de.
Removing the cover from the selector lever
● Apply the handbrake ›››
to ensure that
the c ar doe
s
not move.
● Carefully pull the corners of the selector
lever boot
and twist it upwards above the lev-
er handle.
Releasing the selector lever
● Using a screwdriver, press and hold the yel-
low un
locking tab sideways ››› Fig. 58.
● Press the interlock button on the selector
lever and mo
ve the selector lever to posi-
tion N.
● After carrying out the manual release, at-
tach the sel
ector lever boot on the gearbox
console again.
If the power supply should ever fail (e.g. dis-
charged battery) and the vehicle has to be pushed or towed, the selector lever must first
be moved t
o position N, after operating the
manual release mechanism. WARNING
The selector lever may be moved out of posi-
tion P only when the h
andbrake is firmly ap-
plied. If this does not work, secure the vehi-
cle with the brake pedal. On a slope the vehi-
cle could otherwise start to move inadver-
tently after shifting the selector lever out of
position P - accident risk! Air conditioning
