Even though outside temperatures are above
fr eez
ing, some roads and bridges may be icy.
● At outside temperatures above +4°C
(+39°F), even when the “ic
e crystal” symbol
is not visible, there may still be patches of ice
on the road.
● Do not rely on the outside temperature in-
dicat
or! Note
● Diff er
ent versions of the instrument panel
are available and therefore the versions and
instructions on the display may vary. In the
case of displays without warning or informa-
tion texts, faults are indicated exclusively by
the warning lamps.
● Depending on the equipment, some set-
ting
s and instructions can also be carried out
in the Easy Connect system. ●
When sev er
al warnings are active at the
same time, the symbols are shown succes-
sively for a few seconds and will stay on until
the fault is rectified. Odometer
Fig. 116
Instrument panel: odometer and re-
set b
utton. The distance covered is displayed in “kilome-
tr
e
s” or miles “m”. It is possible to change
the measurement units (kilometres
“km”/miles “m”) in the radio/Easy Connect*.
Please refer to the Easy Connect* Instructions
Manual for more details.
Odometer/trip recorder
The odometer shows the total distance cov-
ered by the vehicle.
The trip recorder shows the distance that has
been travelled since it was last reset. It is used to measure short trips. The last digit of
the trip rec
order indicates distances of 100
metres or tenths of a mile.
The trip recorder can be set to zero by press-
ing 0.0/SET

If there is a fault in the instrument panel, the
letters DEF will appear in the trip recorder
display. Have the fault repaired immediately,
as far as is possible.
Coolant temperature gauge For vehicles with no coolant temperature

switched on. In order to avoid engine dam-
age, please read the following notes for the
different temperature ranges.
Engine cold
If only the diodes in the lower part of the
scale light up, this indicates that the engine
has not yet reached operating temperature.
Avoid high revs and heavy acceleration and
do not make the engine work hard. »

Opening and closing
CAUTION
The sensor surfaces on the door handles
c ou
ld engage if hit with a water jet or high
pressure steam if there is a valid vehicle key
in the proximity. If at least one of the win-
dows is open and the sensor surface B on
one of the h
andles permanently activates, all
windows will close. If the water jet or steam
is briefly moved away from the sensor surface A (arrow) on one of the handles and then
point ed at
it again, all the windows will prob-
ably open ››› page 118. Note
● If the
vehicle battery has little or no charge,
or the vehicle key battery is almost or entire-
ly out of charge, you will probably not be able
to lock or unlock the vehicle with the Keyless
Access system. The vehicle can be unlocked
or locked manually ››› page 85.
● To control the proper locking of the vehicle,
the rel
ease function is disabled for approx. 2
seconds.
● If the message Keyless access system
faulty is
displayed on the screen of the
dash panel, abnormalities may occur in the
operation of the Keyless Access system. Con-
tact a specialised workshop. SEAT recom-
mends visiting a SEAT dealership for this.
● Depending on the function set on the info-
tainment
system for the mirrors, the exterior
mirrors will unfold and the surround lighting
will come on when unlocking the vehicle us- ing the sensor surface on the driver and pas-
sen
g
er door handles ››› page 141.
● If there is no valid key inside the vehicle or
the sys
tem fails to detect one, a warning will
display on the dash panel screen. This could
happen if any other radio frequency signal in-
terferes with the key signal (e.g. from a mo-
bile device accessory) or if the key is covered
by another object (e.g. an aluminium case).
● If the sensors are very dirty, e.g. have a lay-
er of s
alt, how the sensors on the door han-
dles operate may be affected. In this case,
clean the vehicle.
● If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic
ge
arbox, it may only be locked in the gear
stick is in position P. Anti-theft security system (Safelock)*
The following message is displayed on the in-
s
trument
panel to remind the driver that
when the vehicle is closed from the outside,
the anti-theft security system is switched on. Do not forget the Safelock.
Please see Instruction Manual . The
vehicle cannot be opened from inside. This
makes it more difficult for unauthorised per-
sons to break into the vehicle ››› in De-
s c
ription on page 112.
The anti-theft security system can be switch-
ed off each time the vehicle is locked: ●
Turn the k
ey a second time to the lock posi-
tion, in the door lock, within two seconds. If
necessary, remove the protective cover on
the driver door handle ›››
page 9 or else
● Press on the remote control key for a
sec ond time
within 2 seconds.
The flashing frequency of the diode in the
door sill immediately confirms the process.
Initially, the diode flashes in a fast sequence
for a brief period, then it stops for approxi-
mately 30 seconds and, lastly continues
flashing slowly.

The battery is located beneath a cover on the
b ac
k of the remote control.
● To open the cover, lift it slightly at the bot-
tom and s
lide it down.
● Remove the old battery.
● Insert the new battery. When doing so, take
into ac
count the polarity and use batteries of
the same type ››› .
● Replace the battery cover by inserting the
t ab
s at the top and pressing the bottom.
Range
The receiver is inside the vehicle. The remote
control, when fitted with new batteries, has a
range of several hundred metres. Obstacles
between the remote control and the vehicle,
bad weather conditions and discharged bat-
teries can considerably reduce the range of
the remote control. CAUTION
● The r a
dio frequency remote control con-
tains electronic components. Therefore, avoid
getting it wet and exposing it to knocks or di-
rect sunlight.
● The use of inappropriate batteries may
dam
age the radio frequency remote control.
For this reason, always replace the used bat-
tery with another of the same voltage, size
and specifications. For the sake of the environment
● Ple
ase dispose of your used batteries cor-
rectly and with respect for the environment.
● The remote control battery may contain
perc
hlorate. Observe the legal provisions re-
garding disposal.
● Care should be taken so as not to operate
the remot
e control unintentionally so as to
prevent the auxiliary heater being switched
on accidentally. Programming the auxiliary heater
Before pr
ogramming it, check that the vehi-

Departure time 1, Departure time 2, Departure time 3:
Three different departure times (hh.mm) may be
programmed. If the auxiliary heater should only
be switched on a certain day of the week, this can
also be selected.
Duration: The duration determines the operating
time of the auxiliary heater when switched on us-
ing the fast heating button
on the air condi-
tioning controls. The duration is also used to cal-
culate the departure time for the manual air con-
ditioner. It can be set between 10 and 60 mi-
nutes at 10-minute intervals.
This returns to the main menu.
The programmed departure time determines
the ap
pr
oximate time it should take to reach
the temperature set in the vehicle. The start
of the heating operation is determined auto-
matically depending on the outside tempera-
ture.
Checking the programming
When a departure time is activated and the
ignition is switched off the control lamp of
the fast heating button lights up for approx-
