Check and correct these settings once the battery is sufficiently charged.
WARNING
Any distraction may lead to an accident, with the risk of injury.

Revolution counter
The rev counter indicates the number of engine 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 move the selector lever to D 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. See the additional infor-mation in Selecting the opti-mal gear.
NOTICE
- 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 engine noise.
Fuel gauge
Indicator lamps
When the fuel level is very low, the lower diode also flashes red.
The display only works when the ignition is switched on.
The fuel range is displayed on the instrument panel.
You can consult the tank capacity of your vehi-cle in.
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 assistant sys-tems and brakes do not work when the en-gine is running irregularly or switches off due to lack of fuel or an irregular 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.
NOTICE
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 particulate fil-ter 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.
Coolant temperature indicator.
Basic digital instrument cluster: engine coolant temperature display.
SEAT Digital Cockpit digital instrument cluster: engine coolant temperature indicator.
- Cold zone. The engine has not reached operating temperature yet. Avoid high en-gine speeds and stressing the engine if it has not reached operating temperature.
- Normal zone. At high outside temperatures and when making the engine work hard, the diodes may continue lighting up and reach the upper zone. This is no cause for concern, provided the control lamp does not light up .
- Warning area. When the engine is working hard, especially at high outside tempera-tures, the diodes may light up in the warn-ing area.
The coolant temperature gauge only works when the ignition is switched on.
Control and warning lamps
Engine coolant
The lamp lights up red.
The motor coolant temperature is too high or the motor coolant level is too low.
- Stop driving! Stop the vehicle at the next opportunity and in a safe place.
- Switch off the engine and let it cool down.
- Check the coolant level in the coolant expan-sion tank .
If the warning lamp does not go out even though the motor coolant level is correct, do not continue to drive or leave the motor running. Seek specialist assistance.
NOTICE
- 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 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 reduce the cooling effect, which could cause the engine to overheat. Seek specialist assis-tance.
