If the warning lamp does not switch off even

sions and instructions on the screens may

vary.

The figure displayed are the kilometres that

can still be travelled or the time until the next

service.

if the coolant level is correct, request assis-

tance from specialised personnel.

SEAT distinguishes between services with en-

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

services without engine oil change (e.g. In-

spection).

CAUTION

To ensure a long useful life for the engine,

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:

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 113 as a guide.

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.

Unlocking one side of the vehicle only

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.

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.

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*

WARNING

To deactivate the alarm, press the  button

on the remote control key, or switch on the ig-

nition. After a certain time, the alarm will au-

tomatically switch off.

Do not leave anyone (especially children)

in the vehicle if it is locked from the outside

and the anti-theft security system* is ena-

Note

●

If the vehicle is relocked and the alarm is

activated without the volumetric sensor

function, relocking will activate the alarm

with all its functions, except the volumetric

sensor. This function is reactivated when

the alarm is switched on again, unless it is

deliberately switched off.

It is a monitoring or control function incorpo-

rated in the anti-theft alarm* which detects

unauthorised vehicle entry by means of ultra-

sound.

If you wish to switch off the vehicle interior

monitoring and the anti-tow system, it must

be done each time that the vehicle is locked;

if not, they will be automatically switched on.

●

If the alarm has been triggered by the

volumetric sensor, this will be indicated by

a flashing of the warning lamp on the driver

door when the vehicle is opened. The flash

is different to the flash indicating the alarm

is activated.

The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-

tow system should be switched off if animals

are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise,

their movements will trigger the alarm) or

when, for example, the vehicle is transported

or has to be towed with only one axle on the

ground.

Activation

–

It is automatically switched on when the

anti-theft alarm is activated.

●

Deactivation

The vibration of a mobile phone left in-

side the vehicle may cause the vehicle in-

terior monitoring alarm to trigger, as both

sensors react to movements and shakes in-

side the vehicle.

–

Open the vehicle with the key, either me-

chanically or by pressing the  button on

the remote control. The time period from

when the door is opened until the key is in-

serted in the contact should not exceed 15

seconds, otherwise the alarm will be trig-

gered.

False alarms

Interior monitoring will only operate correctly

if the vehicle is completely closed. Please ob-

serve related legal requirements.

●

If on activating the alarm, any door or the

rear lid is open, only the alarm will be acti-

vated. The vehicle interior monitoring and

the anti-tow system will only be activated

once all the doors are closed (including the

rear lid).

The following cases may cause a false

alarm:

–

Press the  button on the remote control

twice. The volumetric sensor and tilt sen-

sors will be deactivated. The alarm system

remains activated.

●

Open windows (partially or fully).

●

prevent overheating.

●

Never leave the vehicle unattended or al-

illness or even death.

Once the system is cool again, the function

can be reused. Until then, the rear lid can only

be opened and closed by hand using reason-
