Introduction  
After switching the engine on with a 12-volt  
battery that is heavily discharged or newly  
changed some system settings (such as the  
time, the date, the personalised comfort set-  
tings and the programming) might be altered or  
deleted. Check and correct these settings once  
the battery is suciently charged.  
WARNING  
Any distraction may lead to an accident, with  
the risk of injury.  
Do not operate the instrument panel con-  
trols when driving.  
To reduce the risk of accident and injury,  
only make adjustments to the instructions  
on the instrument panel display and to the  
instructions on the Infotainment system dis-  
play when the vehicle is stationary.

WARNING  
Fatigue detection can be activated or deacti-  
vated in the infotainment system using the func-  
tion button Driver assistance > Fatigue de-  
tector.  
The smart technology of the driver alert sys-  
tem cannot overcome the limits imposed by  
the laws of physics and only works within the  
limits of the system. The increased comfort  
provided by the driver alert system should  
not lead you to take any risks. On long  
journeys, take regular and su„ciently long  
breaks.  
Operation  
The driver alert system determines the driving  
behaviour of the driver at the start of a journey  
and then calculates the fatigue level. This is  
constantly compared with the current driving  
behaviour. If the system detects that the driver  
is tired, an audible warning is given with a sound  
and an optical warning is shown with a symbol  
and supplementary message on the instrument  
cluster screen ››› Fig. 9. The message on the  
instrument cluster display is shown for approxi-

Driver information  
There are di„erent versions of instrument pan-  
els and infotainment systems, so the versions  
and instructions on the screens may vary.  
Open the Service menu  
The system does not detect driver fatigue  
in all circumstances. Consult the information  
in the section ››› page 23, Operating con-  
ditions.  
Select the Rangeinformation profile while in  
the Driving datamenu, and keep the key  
pressed on the multifunction steering wheel for  
approximately 4 seconds. When it is released,  
the Servicemenu will be displayed.  
SEAT distinguishes between services with en-  
gine oil change (e.g. Oil change service) and  
services without engine oil change (e.g. Inspec-  
tion).  
In some situations, the system may misin-  
terpret an intentional driving manoeuvre as  
driver fatigue.  
Now you can browse through the menu using  
the keys on the multifunction steering wheel as  
usual.  
In vehicles with Services established by time  
or mileage, the service intervals are already  
pre-defined.  
There is no warning of the micro-sleep  
phenomenon!  
Please observe the indications on the in-  
strument panel and act as is necessary.  
Restart the service interval display  
In vehicles with LongLife Service, the intervals  
are determined individually. Thanks to techno-  
logical progress, maintenance work has been  
greatly reduced. The oil only needs to be  
changed when the vehicle requires it. To calcu-  
late this variation (max. 2 years), the vehicle's  
conditions of use and individual driving styles  
are considered. The advance warning first ap-  
pears 20 days before the date established  
for the corresponding service. The kilometres  
(miles) remaining until the next service are al-  
ways rounded up to the nearest 100 km (miles)  
and the time is given in complete days. The  
current service message cannot be viewed until  
500 km after the last service. Prior to this, only  
lines are visible on the display.  
Select the Servicemenu and follow the in-  
structions on the screen of the instrument  
panel.  
Note  
Fatigue detection has only been developed  
for driving on motorways and well-paved
