Warning and information messages
The system runs a check on certain compo-
nents and functions when the ignition is
switched on and while the vehicle is moving.
Faults in the operation are displayed on the
screen using red and yellow symbols on the
instrument panel display ( ›››
 page 25)
and, in some cases, with audible warnings.
The display may vary according to the type of
instrument panel fitted.
Priority 1 warning (red symbols)
Symbol flashing or lit; partly combined with audible
warnings.
 Stop the vehicle! It is dangerous ››› !
Check the function that is faulty and repair it. If necessa-
ry, request assistance from specialised personnel.
Priority 2 warning (yellow symbols)
Symbol flashing or lit; partly combined with audible
warnings.
A faulty function, or fluids which are below the correct
levels may cause damage to the vehicle! ›››
Check the faulty function as soon as possible. If neces-
sary, request assistance from specialised personnel. Odometer
The odomet
er
r

egisters the total distance
travelled by the car.
The odometer (trip ) shows the distance
travelled since the last odometer reset. The
last figure indicates 100 m.
Outside temperature indicator!
When the outside temperature is below +4°C
(+39°F), the “ice crystal” symbol (warning of
risk of freezing) is also displayed next to the
temperature. At first this symbol flashes and
then it remains lit until the outside tempera-
ture rises above +6°C (+43°F) ››› .
When the v
ehic

le is stationary or travelling at
very low speeds, the temperature displayed
may be slightly higher than the actual »

The temperatures measured range from
-40°C to +50°C (-40°F to +122°F).
Selector lever position
The range of engaged gears of the selector
lever is shown on the side of the lever, and
on the instrument panel display. In positions
D and M, and with the Tiptronic, the corre-
sponding gear is also indicated on the dis-
play.
Recommended gear* (manual gearbox)
The recommended gear to save fuel can be
displayed on the instrument panel display
while you are driving ››› page 142.
Seat belt status display for the rear seats*
The seat belt status display on the instru-
ment panel display informs the driver, when
the ignition is switched on, whether any pas-
sengers in the rear seats have fastened their
seat belts ››› page 52.
Start-Stop system status display
The instrument panel display shows informa-
tion on the current status ››› page 160. WARNING
If the warning lamps are ignored, the vehicle
ma y

stall in traffic, or may cause accidents
and severe injuries.
● Never ignore the warning lamps.
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
● A faulty vehicle represents a risk of acci-
dent for the driv
er and for other road users. If
necessary, switch on the hazard warning
lamps and put out the warning triangle to ad-
vise other drivers.
● Park the vehicle away from traffic and en-
sure th
at no highly flammable materials are
under the vehicle that could come into con-
tact with the exhaust system (e.g. dry grass,
fuel). WARNING
Even though outside temperatures are above
freez in

g, some roads and bridges may be icy.
● At outside temperatures above +4°C
(+39°F), even when the “ice c
rystal” symbol
is not visible, there may still be patches of ice
on the road.
● Do not rely on the outside temperature in-
dicator! CAUTION
Failure to heed the warning lamps when they
appe ar m

ay result in faults in the vehicle. Note
● Differ ent

versions of the instrument panel
are available and therefore the versions and
instructions on the display may vary.
● When several warnings are active at the
same time, the symbol
s are shown succes-
sively for a few seconds and will stay on until
the fault is rectified. Service interval display

stinguishes between services with en-
gine oil change (Oil Change Service) and
services without engine oil change (Inspec-
tion Service). The service interval display only
gives information for service dates which in-
volve an engine oil change. The dates of the
remaining services (e.g. the next Inspection
Service or change of brake fluid) are listed on
the label attached to the door strut, or in the
Maintenance Programme.
The set service intervals have been specified
with the service dependent on time/distance
travelled.
Inspection reminder

k ilometres
shown is the maximum number that may be
driven until the next service.
Service due
After the service date, an audible warning is
given when the ignition is switched on and
the abbreviation  displayed on the screen
flashes for a few seconds. Note
The service message disappears after a few
second s, when the en

gine is started or when
OK is pressed on the windscreen wiper lever.
Note
In vehicles whose batteries have been dis-
connect ed f

or a long period of time, it will not
be possible to calculate the next service date.
Therefore the service interval display may not
be correct. In this case, bear in mind the max-
imum service intervals permitted in the

The vehicle key includes an emitter and bat-
tery. The receiver is in the interior of the vehi-
cle. The range of the vehicle key with remote
control and new battery is several metres
around the vehicle.
If it is not possible to open or close the vehi-
cle using the remote control key, this should
be re-synchronised ››› page 94 or the bat-
tery changed ››› page 93. Different keys belonging to the vehicle may
be used.
Fo

lding the key shaft in and out
When the button is pressed ››› Fig. 96 A , the
k ey
sh

aft is released and unfolds.
To fold it press the button and fold the key
shaft in until it locks in place.
Spare key
To obtain a spare key and other vehicle keys,
the vehicle chassis number is required.
Each new key must contain a microchip and
be coded with the data from the vehicle elec-
tronic immobiliser. A vehicle key will not work
if it does not contain a microchip or the mi-
crochip has not been encoded. This is also
true for keys cut for the vehicle.
The vehicle keys or new spare keys can be
obtained from a SEAT dealership, a Special-
ised workshop or approved key service quali-
fied to create this kind of key.
New keys or spare keys must be synchron-
ised before use ››› page 94. WARNING
Careless or incorrect use of vehicle keys may
re s

ult in severe injury and accident.
● Always take all the keys with you whenever
you le
ave the vehicle. Children and unauthor-
ised individuals could lock the doors or the boot hatch, start the engine or turn on the ig-
nition, activatin
g el

ectrical systems, the elec-
tric windows, for example.
● Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the car
. They could be trapped in the
car in an emergency and will not be able to
get themselves to safety. For example, de-
pending on the time of the year, tempera-
tures inside a locked and closed vehicle can
be extremely high or extremely low resulting
in serious injuries and illness or even death,
particularly for young children.
● Never remove the key from the ignition if
the vehic
le is in motion. The steering may
lock and it will not be possible to turn the
steering wheel. CAUTION
The remote control key contains electronic
component s. Pr

otect them from damage, im-
pacts and humidity. Note
● Only u

se the key button when you require
the corresponding function. Pushing the but-
ton unnecessarily could accidentally unlock
the vehicle or trigger the alarm. It is also pos-
sible even when you are outside the radius of
action.
● Remote control key operation can be great-
ly influenced b
y overlapping radio signals
around the vehicle working in the same range 92

Opening and closing
of frequencies (for example, radio
tran
smitt
ers, mobile telephones).
● Obstacles between the remote control and
the vehic
le, bad weather conditions and
draining batteries can considerably reduce
the range of the remote control.
● If the buttons of the vehicle key are press-
ed ›››

Fig. 96 or one of the central locking but-
tons ››› page 94 is pressed repeatedly in
quick succession, the central locking briefly
disconnects as protection against overload-
ing. The vehicle is then unlocked. Lock it if necessary. Mechanical vehicle key

If the
 button is pressed frequently outside
of the

vehicle range, it is possible that the ve-
hicle can no longer be locked or unlocked us-
ing the key. In this case, the vehicle key must
be synchronised once more as follows:
● Unfold the vehicle key blade ››
›

page 92.
● Press the  button on the
vehicle key. For
this, it must remain with the vehicle.
● Open the vehicle within one minute using

 page 8 Central locking functions correctly when all
the doors and the r

ear lid are correctly shut.
If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot
be locked with the key.
The battery of an unlocked vehicle parked for
a long period (e.g. in a private garage) may
run down and fail to start the motor. WARNING
The incorrect use of the central locking sys-
tem m a

y cause serious injuries.
● The central locking system will lock all
doors. A v
ehicle locked from the inside can
prevent any non-authorised individual from
opening the doors and accessing the vehicle.
Nevertheless, in case of emergency or acci-
dent, locked doors will complicate access to
the vehicle interior to help the passengers.
● Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the v
ehicle. The central locking but-
ton can be used to lock all the doors from
within. Therefore, passengers will be locked
inside the vehicle. Individuals locked in the
vehicle can be exposed to very high or very
low temperatures.
● Depending on the time of the year, temper-
ature
s inside a locked and closed vehicle can
be extremely high or extremely low resulting
in serious injuries and illness or even death,
particularly for young children.
● Never leave individuals locked in a closed
and locked
vehicle. In case of emergency,
they may not be able to exit the vehicle by
themselves or get help. 94
