Operation

A separate Instructions Manual is enclosed

if the vehicle is equipped with a factory-fitted
radio, CD player, AUX IN connection or navi-
gation system.

The arrangement of switches and controls

on right-hand drive models* may be slightly
different from the layout shown in

››› 

page 102

. However, the symbols used to

identify the controls are the same.

WARNING

Any distraction may lead to an accident, with
the risk of injury.

Do not operate the instrument panel con-

trols when driving.

CAUTION

To prevent 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

Changing up a gear in time reduces fuel con-
sumption and noise.

Rev counter

The rev counter indicates the number of en-
gine revolutions per minute 

››› 

Fig. 120

.

Together 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 32, Gear-change

indicator

.

CAUTION

Never allow the rev counter needle 

1

››› 

Fig. 120

 to go 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
fuel and minimise emissions and engine
noise.

WARNING

Observe the safety warnings 

››› 

 in Warning

and control lamps on page 109

.

WARNING

Even though outside temperatures are above
freezing, some roads and bridges may be icy.

At outside temperatures above +4°C

(+39°F), even when the “ice crystal symbol”
is not visible, there may still be patches of ice
on the road.

Do not rely on the outside temperature in-

dicator!

Note

Different 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-

tings and instructions can also be carried out
in the Easy Connect system.

When several 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. 121 

Instrument panel: odometer and re-

set button.

The distance covered is displayed in “kilome-
tres” 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 recorder indicates distances of 100
metres or tenths of a mile.

The trip recorder can be set to zero by press-
ing 

0.0/SET

Fault display
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
gauge, a control lamp 

 appears for high

coolant temperatures 

››› 

page 266

. Please

note 

››› 

.

The coolant temperature gauge 

2

››› 

Fig. 120

 only works when the ignition is

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.

Operation

Normal temperature
If in normal operations, the diodes light up
until the central zone, it means that the en-
gine has reached operating temperature. At
high outside temperatures and when making
the engine work hard, the diodes may contin-
ue lighting up and reach the upper zone. This
is no cause for concern, provided the control
lamp 

 does not light up on the instrument

panel digital display.

Heat range
When the diodes light up in the upper area of
the display and the control lamp appears 

on the instrument panel display, the coolant
temperature is excessive 

››› 

page 266

.

CAUTION

To ensure a long useful life for the engine,

avoid high revs, driving at high speed and
making the engine work hard for approxi-
mately the first 15 minutes when the engine
is cold. The phase until the engine is warm al-
so depends on the outside temperature. If
necessary, use the engine oil temperature*

››› 

page 35

 as a guide.

Additional lights and other accessories in

front of the air inlet reduce the cooling effect
of the coolant. At high outside temperatures
and high engine loads, there is a risk of the
engine overheating.

The front spoiler also ensures proper distri-

bution of the cooling air when the vehicle is

moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can re-
duce the cooling effect, which could cause
the engine to overheat. Seek specialist assis-
tance.

The green warning lamp  lights up when the
vehicle is running in natural gas operating
mode.

The green warning lamp  switches off when
the natural gas is exhausted. The engine
changes to operate with petrol.

Problem: If the vehicle is left parked for a
long time immediately after refuelling, the
natural gas level 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 rea-
sons after a cooling phase just after refuel-
ling.

CAUTION

Never run the fuel tank completely dry. An ir-
regular fuel supply could cause misfiring. In
this way the unburned fuel can reach the ex-
haust system, which could cause the catalytic
converter to overheat resulting in damage.

Control lamps

Warning and control lamps

Read the additional information carefully

››› 

page 40

.

The control and warning lamps are indicators
of warnings, 

››› 

, faults 

››› 

 or certain func-

tions. Some control and warning lamps come
on when the ignition is switched on, and
switch off when the engine starts running, or
while driving.

Depending on the model, additional text
messages may be viewed on the instrument

panel display. These may be purely informa-
tive or they may be advising of the need for
action 

››› 

page 104, Instruments

.

Depending upon the equipment fitted in the
vehicle, instead of a warning lamp, some-
times a symbol may be displayed on the in-
strument panel.

When certain control and warning lamps are
lit, an audible warning is also heard.

WARNING

If the warning lamps and messages are ignor-
ed, the vehicle may stall in traffic, or may
cause accidents and severe injuries.

Never ignore the warning lamps or text

messages.

Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.

Park the vehicle away from traffic and en-

sure that there are no highly flammable ma-
terials under the vehicle that could come into
contact with the exhaust system (e.g. dry
grass, fuel).

A faulty vehicle represents a risk of acci-

dent for the driver and for other road users. If
necessary, switch on the hazard warning
lamps and put out the warning triangle to ad-
vise other drivers.

Before opening the bonnet, switch off the

engine and allow it to cool.

In any vehicle, the engine compartment is a

hazardous area and could cause severe inju-
ries 

››› 

page 262

.

CAUTION

Failure to heed the control lamps and text
messages when they appear may result in
faults in the vehicle.

Operation

Opening and closing

Central locking system

Description

Read the additional information carefully

››› 

page 10

The vehicle can be locked and unlocked via
the central locking system. There are several
methods, depending on the vehicle equip-
ment:

key with remote control 

››› 

page 118

,

lock on driver door (emergency opening

››› 

page 10

) or

interior central locking switch 

››› 

page 119

.

Unlocking one side of the vehicle only
When you lock the vehicle with the key, the
doors and the rear lid are locked. When you
open the door, you can either unlock only the
driver door, or all the vehicle doors. To select
the required option, use Easy Connect*

››› 

page 119

.

Automatic locking (Auto Lock)*
The Auto Lock function locks the doors and
the rear lid when the vehicle exceeds a speed
of about 15 km/h (9 mph).

The vehicle is unlocked again when the igni-
tion key is removed. Alternatively, the vehicle
can also be unlocked via the central locking
switch or by pulling one of the inside door
handles. The Auto Lock function can be
switched on and off on the sound system or
on the Easy Connect* system 

››› 

page 119

.

In the event of an accident in which the air-
bags inflate, the doors will be automatically
unlocked to facilitate access and assistance.

Anti-theft alarm system*
If the anti-theft alarm system senses interfer-
ence with the vehicle it triggers an audible
and visible alarm.

The anti-theft alarm system is automatically
switched on when locking the vehicle. It
switches off when the vehicle is unlocked
from a distance.

When the driver door is unlocked with the
key, you should switch on the ignition within
15 seconds. Otherwise the alarm will be trig-
gered. On some export versions, the alarm is
triggered immediately when you open a door.

To deactivate the alarm, press the button 

on the remote control key, or switch on the
ignition. After a certain time, the alarm will
automatically switch off.

Switch off the vehicle interior monitoring and
tow-away protection if you wish to prevent

the alarm from being triggered accidentally

››› 

page 126

.

Turn signals
The turn signals will flash twice when the ve-
hicle is unlocked and once when the vehicle
is locked.

If it does not flash, this indicates that one of
the doors, the rear lid or the bonnet is not
closed correctly.

Accidental lock-out
The central locking system prevents you from
being locked out of the vehicle in the follow-
ing situations:

If the driver door is open, the vehicle can-

not be locked with the central locking switch

››› 

page 119

.

Lock the vehicle with the remote control key,
when all the doors and the rear lid have been
closed. This prevents the accidental locking
of the vehicle.

WARNING

Do not leave anyone (especially children) in
the vehicle if it is locked from the outside and
the anti-theft security system* is enabled, as
the doors and windows cannot then be
opened from the inside. Locked doors could
delay assistance in an emergency, potentially
putting lives at risk.

Opening and closing

Note

Never leave any valuable items in the vehi-

cle unattended. Even a locked vehicle is not a
safe.

If the diode on the driver door sill lights up

for about 30 seconds when the vehicle is
locked, the central locking system or anti-
theft alarm* is not working properly. You
should have the fault repaired at a SEAT Offi-
cial Service or specialised workshop.

The vehicle interior monitoring of the anti-

theft alarm* system will only function as in-
tended if the windows and the sunroof* are
closed.

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

Alarm button*
Only press alarm button

 in the event of an

emergency! When the alarm button is press-
ed, the vehicle horn is heard and the turn sig-
nals are switched on for a short time. When
the alarm button is pressed again, the alarm
is switched off.

Spare key
To obtain a spare key and other vehicle keys,
the vehicle chassis number is required.

Each new key contains a microchip which
must be coded with the data from the vehicle
electronic immobiliser. A vehicle key will not
work if it does not contain a microchip or the
microchip has not been encoded. This is also
true for keys which are specially cut for the
vehicle.

Operation

The vehicle keys or new spare keys can be
obtained from a SEAT Official Service, a spe-
cialised workshop or an approved key service
qualified to create this kind of key.

New keys or spare keys must be synchron-
ised before use 

››› 

page 123

.

CAUTION

All of the vehicle keys contain electronic com-
ponents. Protect them from damage, impacts
and humidity.

Note

Only use 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.

Key operation can be greatly influenced by

overlapping radio signals close to the vehicle
working in the same range of frequencies, for
example, radio transmitters or mobile tele-
phones.

Obstacles between the remote control and

the vehicle, bad weather conditions and dis-
charged batteries can considerably reduce
the range of the remote control.

If the buttons of the vehicle key are press-

ed 

›››

 or

Fig. 129

 or one of the cen-

against overloading. The vehicle is then un-
locked. Lock it if necessary.

Unlocking/Locking by remote control

Read the additional information carefully

››› 

page 10

The vehicle will be locked again automatical-
ly if you do not open one of the doors or the
rear lid within 30 seconds after unlocking the
car. This function prevents the vehicle from
remaining unlocked if the unlocking button is
pressed by mistake. This does not apply if
you press the button 

 for at least one sec-

ond.

In vehicles with a 

security central locking

feature (selective unlocking of side doors)

››› 

page 118

, when the button 

 is pressed

once, only the driver door and the fuel tank
flap are unlocked. When the button is press-
ed a second time, all the vehicle doors are
unlocked.

WARNING

tion on page 116

Selective unlocking system

The selective unlocking system allows you to
only unlock the driver door and the fuel tank
flap. All other doors and the rear lid remain
locked.

Unlocking the driver door and tank flap

ing the other doors.

In vehicles with Easy Connect*, you can pro-
gramme the security central locking system
directly
