Any distraction may lead to an accident, with
the ri sk

of injury.
● Do not operate the instrument panel con-
tro
ls when driving. CAUTION
● To pr

event damage to the engine, the rev
counter needle should only remain in the red
zone for a short period of time.
● When the engine is cold, avoid high revs
and heavy
acceleration and do not make the
engine work hard. For the sake of the environment

The rev counter indicates the number of en-
gine r
ev

olutions per minute ››› Fig. 115 1 .
T og
ether with the gear-change indicator, the
rev counter offers you the possibility of using
the engine of your vehicle at a suitable
speed.
The start of the red zone on the dial indicates
the maximum engine speed which may be
used briefly when the engine is warm and af-
ter it has been run in properly. Before reach-
ing this range, you should change to a higher
gear for vehicles with a manual gearbox or for
automatic gearboxes put the selector lever in
“D” or take your foot off the accelerator ped-
al.
We recommend that you avoid high revs and
that you follow the recommendations on the
gear-change indicator. Consult the additional
information in ›››
 page 31, Gear-change
indicator. CAUTION
Never allow the rev counter needle 1 ›››

o into the red zone on the
scale for more than a very brief period, other-
wise there is a risk of engine damage. For the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear early will help you to save

and minimise emissions and engine
noise. Indications on the display

Advice
Tyre useful life Fig. 224
Location of the tyre pressure sticker. Correct inflation pressures and sensible driv-
in
g h
abits will increase the useful life of your
tyres.
– Check tyre pressure at least once a month,
and also prior t

o any long trip.
– The tyre pressure should only be checked
when the tyr

es are cold. Do not reduce the
pressure of warm tyres.
– Adjust tyre pressure to the load being car-
ried by

the vehicle. –
In v
ehicles with a tyre pressure indicator,
save the pressure of modified tyres
››› page 295, ››› page 292.
– Avoid fast cornering and hard acceleration.
– Inspect the tyres for irregular wear from
time to time.
The u

seful life of your tyres depends on the
following factors:
Tyre pressure
The tyre inflation pressures are listed on a
sticker inside the driver door pillar
››› Fig. 224.
Insufficient or excessive pressure greatly re-
duces the useful life of the tyres and adverse-
ly affects vehicle performance and ride. Cor-
rect inflation pressures are very important,
especially at high speeds.
Depending on the vehicle, tyre pressure can
be adjusted to medium load to improve driv-
ing comfort (“comfort” tyre pressure). When
driving with comfort tyre pressure fuel con-
sumption may increase slightly.
The tyre pressure must be adjusted according
to the load the vehicle is carrying. If the vehi-
cle is going to carry the maximum load, the
tyre pressure should be increased to the max-
imum value indicated on the sticker
››› Fig. 224. Do not forget the spare wheel when checking
the tyr

e pressures: Keep this spare wheel in-
flated to the highest pressure required for the
road wheels.
In the case of a minimised temporary spare
wheel (125/70 R18) inflate to a pressure of
4.2 bar as indicated on the tyre pressure la-
bel ››› Fig. 224.
Driving style
Fast cornering, heavy acceleration and hard
braking (squealing tyres) all increase tyre
wear.
Wheel balance
The wheels on new vehicles are balanced.
However, certain circumstances may lead to
imbalance (run-out), which is detected as vi-
brations in the steering wheel.
Unbalanced wheels should be rebalanced, as
they otherwise cause excessive wear on
steering, suspension and tyres. A wheel must
also be rebalanced when a new tyre is fitted
or if a tyre is repaired.
Incorrect wheel alignment
Incorrect running gear alignment causes ex-
cessive tyre wear, impairing the safety of the
vehicle. If you notice excessive tyre wear, you
should check wheel alignment at a SEAT Offi-
cial Service.
