The measurement margin extends from -45° C to +58° C. At temperatures  
lower than +4° C, an “ice crystal symbol” is displayed and a “warning”  
sounds if the vehicle is moving at more than 20 km/h (ice warning). This  
symbol will flash for about 10 seconds and remains lit until the exterior  
temperature rises above +4° C or 6° C if it was already lit.  
The display shows the amount of time which has elapsed since the ignition  
was switched on.  
The maximum display value in both memories is 99 hours and 59 minutes.  
The memory will automatically be deleted once this value has been reached.  
Ø mph - Average speed  
WARNING  
The average speed will be shown after a distance of approximately 100  
metres has been travelled. Dashes will appear in the display until that time.  
The display will be updated every 5 seconds whilst the vehicle is in motion.  
There could be black ice on the road surface even if the “snowflake symbol”  
is not shown. You should, for this reason, not rely exclusively on this  
display - Risk of accident!  
Miles - Distance travelled  
The display shows the distance travelled since the ignition was switched on.  
Note  
The maximum display value in both memories is 9999 miles. The memory will  
automatically be deleted once this value has been reached.  
When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the tempera-  
ture displayed may be slightly higher than the actual ambient temperature as  
a result of the heat radiated from the engine.  
Miles - Fuel range  
The fuel range is calculated using the figures for tank content and current fuel  
consumption. It shows how far the vehicle can travel using the same condi-  
tions as a reference.

three acoustic warning signals ⇒  
are emitted.  
This means that either the coolant level is too low or the coolant temperature  
is too high.  
Main beam headlights   
Coolant temperature too high  
First look at the coolant temperature gauge. The coolant temperature is too  
high if the needle is over the warning area on the dial. Stop the vehicle,  
switch off the engine and wait for it to cool down. Check the coolant level.  
This warning lamp lights up when the main beams are on.  
The warning lamp lights up when the main beams are on or when the  
headlight flasher is operated.  
If the coolant level is correct, the overheating may be caused by a malfunction  
of the radiator fan. Check the radiator fan fuse and have it replaced if neces-  
sary ⇒ page 197.  
Further information ⇒ page 91  
If the warning lamp lights up again after driving on for a short distance, stop

If the ESP warning lamp lights up and stays on after the engine is started,  
this may mean that the control system has temporarily switched off the ESP.  
In this case the ESP can be reactivated by switching the ignition off and then  
on again. If the warning lamp goes out, this means the system is fully  
functional.  
The traction control system prevents the driven wheels from  
spinning when the vehicle is accelerating  
The warning lamp lights up when the ignition is switched on and should turn  
out after about 2 seconds.  
When the TCS is operating while driving, the warning lamp flashes. If the  
system is deactivated or if there is any fault in the same, the warning lamp will  
remain lit.  
Electronic immobiliser*   
Inside the key there is a chip that deactivates the electronic immobiliser auto-  
matically when the key is inserted into the ignition. The immobiliser will be  
activated again automatically as soon as you pull the key out of the ignition  
lock.  
It will also come on if a fault should occur in the ABS because the TCS oper-  
ates in conjunction with the ABS. For further information see ⇒ page 139,  
“Brakes”  
The engine can, however, be started if the appropriate coded SEAT genuine  
key is used.

Differential lock fault (EDL)*  
Note  
EDL operates along with the ABS in vehicles equipped with an  
Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP)*  
The vehicle cannot be operated properly if you do not have a genuine SEAT  
key.  
A malfunction in the EDL is indicated by the ABS warning lamp . Please  
take the vehicle to a qualified workshop as soon as possible. For further infor-  
mation on the EDL ⇒ page 142, “Electronic differential lock (EDL)*”  
Engine oil pressure   
This warning lamp indicates that the engine oil pressure is  
too low.  
If this warning symbol starts to flash, and is accompanied by three audible  
warnings, switch off the engine and check the oil level. If the oil level is too  
low, add more engine oil ⇒ page 172.  
If the symbol flashes although the oil level is correct, do not drive on. The  
engine must not even run at idle speed. Obtain technical assistance.  
Trailer turn signals   
This warning lamp also flashes when the turn signals are  
operated while towing a caravan or trailer.  
The warning lamp flashes when the turn signals are operated, provided a  
trailer is correctly attached and connected to the vehicle.  
The warning lamp will not flash if one of the turn signals on the trailer fails.
