Display of traffic signs

When the traffic sign detection system is con-
nected, a camera located on the base of the
interior rear-view mirror records the traffic

signs in front of the vehicle. After checking
and evaluating the information from the cam-
era, the navigation system and the current
vehicle data, up to three valid road signs are
displayed,

›››



with their additional

signs.

The sign that is currently valid for the

driver is shown in the left side of the
screen For example, a maximum speed
limit of

130

km/h

(

100

mph

)

›››

A sign valid only in certain circum-

stances, e.g.

100

km/h

(

mph

) is shown

second, together with the additional rain
sign.

The supplementary panel

will display the circumstances (rain,
times of day, fog, etc.) under which the
displayed speed limit is in force.

Thirdly, a sign prohibiting overtaking is

partially displayed. If there is no condi-
tional speed limit and overtaking is pro-
hibited, the latter sign will be displayed
in second place

›››

Speed warning

If the system detects that the permitted
speed is exceeded, it may warn the driver
with a “gong” and visually with a message on
the dash panel display.

The speed warning can be set or completely
switched off in the infotainment system using
the function button

. The

warning can be set to 0 km/h (0 mph), 5 km/h
(3 mph) or 10 km/h (5 mph) above the maxi-
mum permitted speed.

Trailer mode

In vehicles equipped with a towing bracket
device from the factory and a trailer that is
electrically connected to the vehicle, it is
possible to activate or deactivate the display
of specific traffic signs for vehicles with trailer,
such as speed limits or overtaking prohibi-
tions. It is switched on or off in the infotain-
ment system, using the function button



Settings > Driver assistance

›››

For trailer mode, the display of speed limits
applicable to the type of trailer or to the legal
provisions can be adjusted. The speed is ad-
justed in steps of 10 km/h (5 mph) within a
range of between 60 km/h (40 mph) and
130 km/h (80 mph). If it is adjusted to a speed
greater than that which is permitted in the
country in question for driving with a trailer,
the system automatically displays the usual
speed limits, e.g. in Germany 80 km/h
(50 mph).

If the speed warning for the trailer is deacti-
vated, the system displays the speed limits as
if there were no trailer hitched.

Limited operation

The traffic sign detection system has certain
limitations. The following cases may lead the
system to operate with limitations or not at
all:

●

In the case of poor visibility, e.g. in snow,

rain, fog or intense mist.

●

In cases of dazzling, e.g. caused by head-

on traffic or by the sun.

●

When driving at high speeds.

●

If the camera is covered or dirty.

●

If the traffic signs are out of the camera's

field of vision.

●

If the traffic signs are partially or totally

covered, e.g. by trees, snow, dirt or other vehi-
cles.

●

In the case of traffic signs that do not fulfil

the regulations.

●

In the case of damaged or bent traffic

signs.

●

In the case of variable messages on over-

head or gantry signs (LED-based variable
traffic signs or other lighting units).

●

If the maps on the navigation system are

not up-to-date.

●

In the case of adhesives affixed to vehicles

that depict traffic signs, e.g. speed limits on
lorries.

WARNING

The technology in the traffic sign detection
system cannot change the limits imposed
by the laws of physics and only works with-
in the system's limits. Do not let the extra
convenience afforded by the traffic sign
detection system tempt you into taking any
risks when driving. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness.

●

Adapt your speed and driving style to suit

visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.

●

Poor visibility, darkness, snow, rain and

fog may lead to the system failing to dis-
play traffic signs or not displaying them
correctly.

●

If the camera's field of vision is dirty, cov-

ered or damaged, system operation may
be impaired.

WARNING

The driving recommendations and traffic
indications shown on the traffic sign detec-
tion system may differ from the actual cur-
rent traffic situation.

●

The system may not detect or correctly

show all the traffic signs.

●

Traffic signs and traffic regulations have

priority over the recommendations and dis-
plays provided by the system.

Operation

WARNING

If messages are ignored, the vehicle may
stall in traffic and cause accidents and se-
vere injuries.

●

Never ignore the messages displayed.

●

Stop the vehicle at the next opportunity

and in a safe place.

Note

To avoid affecting the correct operation of
the system, take the following points into
consideration:

●

Regularly clean the area of vision of the

camera and keep it in a clean state, without
snow or ice.

●

Do not cover the field of vision of the

camera.

●

Always replace damaged or worn blades

when required to avoid lines on the cam-
era's field of vision.

●

Check that the windscreen is not dam-

aged in the area of the camera's field of vi-
sion.

●

The use of outdated maps on the naviga-

tion system may cause the system to show
traffic signs incorrectly.

●

In the waypoints mode of the navigation

system, the traffic sign detection system is
only partly available.

●

Failure to heed the control lamps and

corresponding text messages when they

light up may result in damage to the vehi-
cle.

Eco-efficient driving assistance

Fig. 58

Eco-efficient driving assistance indi-

cation (schematic representation).

Eco-efficient driving assistance helps you
drive with care and with low energy con-
sumption by following instructions superim-
posed in the digital cockpit, depending on the
situation.

When you approach places such as a junc-
tion, a roundabout or a section of road with a
speed limit, the symbol



is displayed along

with an event in the digital cockpit

›››

Fig. 58

As soon as you follow the indication and take
your foot off the accelerator, the vehicle
adapts, based on the selected driving profile

and distance to the incident, brake energy re-
cuperation and speed.

Eco-efficient driving assistance uses the trip
data from the infotainment system and the
sensors of some assist systems. If no destina-
tion guidance is active, the most likely route is
used.

Pressing the accelerator can cancel the in-
tervention of the assistance at any time.

Eco-efficient driving assistance can be
switched on and off in the infotainment sys-
tem, in the assist system settings

›››

page 91

Eco-efficient driving assistance is temporarily
switched off if:

●

The gear selector is in the

position.

●

The sport driving program is used.

●

Driving with adaptive cruise control (ACC)

or cruise control (GRA).

When these conditions no longer exist, the
assistance is reactivated if it is switched on in
the assist system settings.

Eco-efficient driving assistance is available
depending on the equipment, although not in
all countries.

WARNING

The system is not a replacement for driver
awareness.

Instruments and warning/control lamps

●

Adapt your speed and driving style at all

times to suit visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions.

●

Traffic signs on the road and traffic regu-

lations have priority over eco-driving notes.

Note

●

The appearance of the symbols may vary

slightly depending on the equipment and
model. System updates may modify or ex-
pand the symbols.

●

When the system is switched on, eco-ef-

ficient driving assistance can also increase
recuperation without any indication being
displayed. This can occur in situations such
as when the accelerator pedal is released
when a vehicle is driving in front. In this
case, energy recuperation is adapted
match the speed of the vehicle in front
without any indication being displayed.

Revolution counter

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

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 beginning of the red zone of the rev
counter indicates the maximum speed in any
gear after running-in and with the engine hot.
However, it is advisable to change up a gear
or move the selector lever to

(or lift your

foot off the accelerator) before the needle
reaches the red zone

›››

We recommend that you avoid high revs and
that you follow the recommendations on the
gear-change indicator. Consult the addition-
al information in

›››

page 236, Selecting the

optimal gear

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 early will help you to
save fuel and minimise emissions and en-
gine noise.

Power meter

A finer coloured border indicates how much
the propulsion can currently be used. De-
pending on the selected driving program and
the current availability of electrical power,
the boundaries of the different colours can
vary.

The small arrow next to the battery symbol
indicates which side of the vehicle the charg-
ing cover is on.

Note

●

Never drive with the tank completely

empty. Under certain circumstances, the
energy stored in the high-voltage battery
may not be sufficient to reach the nearest
service station.

●

When the outside temperature is very

low, and therefore the high-voltage battery
is very cold, difficulties may arise in start-
ing the internal combustion engine and the
range in the electric driving mode may be
reduced.

Instruments and warning/control lamps

WARNING

When driving with low fuel, the vehicle may
stall in traffic and cause accidents and se-
vere injuries.

●

If the fuel tank level is too low, fuel could

reach the engine irregularly, particularly
when driving up or down slopes.

●

The steering system and the driver assis-

tance systems and brakes do not work
when the engine is running irregularly or
switches off due to lack of fuel or an irregu-
lar supply thereof.

●

SEAT recommends always refuelling

when the tank is approximately one quarter
full, to prevent the vehicle from stopping
due to a lack of fuel.

CAUTION

Never run the fuel tank completely dry. An
irregular fuel supply can cause misfiring
and unburnt fuel could enter the exhaust
system. The catalytic converter or the par-
ticulate filter may get damaged!

Note

The small arrow on the fuel gauge next to
the fuel pump symbol points out towards
the side of the vehicle with the fuel tank
flap.

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
also depends on the outside temperature. If
necessary, use the engine oil temperature

›››

page 73

as a guide.

●

Additional lights and other accessories in

front of the air inlet reduce the cooling ef-
fect of the coolant. At high outside temper-
atures and high engine loads, there is a risk
of the engine overheating.

●

The front spoiler also ensures proper dis-

tribution of the cooling air when the vehicle
is moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can
reduce the cooling effect, which could
cause the engine to overheat. Seek spe-
cialist assistance.

Service intervals

The service interval display appears on the
instrument cluster screen and in the infotain-
ment system.

There are different versions of instrument
panels and infotainment systems, so the ver-
sions and instructions on the screens may
vary.

SEAT distinguishes between services

with

en-

gine oil change (e.g. Oil change service) and
services

without

engine oil change (e.g. In-

spection).

In vehicles with

Services established by

time or mileage

, the service intervals are al-

ready pre-defined.

In vehicles with

LongLife Service

, the inter-

vals are determined individually. Thanks to
technological progress, maintenance work
has been greatly reduced. Because of the
technology used by SEAT, with this service
you only need to change the oil when the ve-
hicle so requires. To calculate this variation
(max. 2 years), the vehicle's conditions of use
and individual driving styles are considered.
The advance warning first appears 20 days
before the date established for the corre-
sponding service. The kilometres (miles) re-
maining until the next service are always
rounded up to the nearest 100 km (miles) and
the time is given in complete days. The cur-
rent service message cannot be viewed until

500 km after the last service. Prior to this, on-
ly lines are visible on the display.

Inspection reminder

If a service or an inspection has to be carried
out soon, a

service reminder

will be dis-

played when the ignition is switched on.

The figure displayed are the kilometres that
can still be travelled or the time until the next
service.

Service due

When

the time for a service

or an

inspec-

tion

comes, an audible warning will be emit-

ted when the ignition is switched on and the
fixed key symbol



may appear on the in-

strument panel for a few seconds, along with
one of the following messages:

●

Service now!

●

Please have your vehicle inspec-

ted.

●

Oil change service due!

●

Oil change service and inspection

due!

Consult a service notification

With the ignition switched on, the engine off
and the vehicle at a standstill, the current

service notification

can be read:

Resetting service interval display

If the service was

not

carried out by a SEAT

dealership, the display can be reset as fol-
lows:

●

The service interval display can only be re-

set through the Service menu

›››

page 72

Do not

restart the indicator between the

service intervals, otherwise the information
displayed will be incorrect.

If the oil change service is reset manually, the
service interval display changes to a fixed
service interval, also in vehicles with

Flexible

oil change service

Note

●

The service message disappears after a

few seconds, when the engine is started or
when the



button is pressed on the multi-

function steering wheel.

●

In vehicles with the LongLife system in

which the battery has been disconnected
for a long period of time, it is not possible to
calculate the date of the next service.

Therefore the service interval display may
not be correct. In this case, bear in mind the
maximum service intervals permitted

›››

page 364

●

If you reset the display manually, the next

service interval will be indicated as in vehi-
cles with fixed service intervals. For this
reason we recommend that the service in-
terval display be reset by a SEAT author-
ised Dealer.
