Operation
Things to note
If the v ehicl
e is left parked for a long time im-
mediately after refuelling, the natural gas lev-
el indicator may not accurately indicate the
same level shown after refuelling when the
vehicle is started up again. This is not due to a
leak in the system, but to a drop in pressure in
the gas tank for technical reasons after a
cooling phase just after refuelling. Note
In vehicles with natural gas engines, the
petr ol t
ank fuel level gauge may display
the refuelled amount with a slight delay
(depending on the refuelled amount). Engine coolant temperature indica-

With the ignition on and without light activa-
tion, the analogue instrument panel lighting
remains activated in daytime light conditions.
The lighting is reduced as the exterior light di-
minishes. In some cases, e.g. when driving
through a tunnel without the function ac- tive, the instrument panel lighting may even
switch off. The objective of this function is to
provide the driver with a visual indication that
he or she should activate the dipped beam.

strument panel (Digital SEAT Cockpit), the following message will appear
