Seat Toledo. Service Manual - part 2

Driver information system

Introduction

With the ignition switched on, it is possible
to read the different functions of the display
by scrolling through the menus.

In vehicles with multifunction steering wheel,
the multifunction display can only be operat-
ed with the steering wheel buttons.

The number of menus displayed on the in-
strument panel will vary according to the ve-
hicle electronics and equipment.

A specialised workshop will be able to pro-
gramme or modify additional functions, ac-
cording to the vehicle equipment. SEAT rec-
ommends visiting a SEAT Official Service.

Some menu options can only be read when
the vehicle is at a standstill.

As long as a priority 1 warning is displayed, it
will not be possible to read the menus. Some
warning messages can be confirmed and
made to disappear with the windscreen wiper

lever button or the multifunction steering
wheel button.

The information system also provides the fol-
lowing information and displays (depending
on the vehicle's equipment):

choice. If no gear-change is recommended, it

MFD from
departure

Display and storage of the values for
the journey and the consumption from
when the ignition is switched on to
when it is switched off.
If the journey is continued in less than
2 hours after the ignition is switched
off, the new data is added to the data
already stored in the memory. The
memory will automatically be deleted if
the journey is interrupted for more than
2 hours.

MFD from
refuelling

Display and storage of the values for
the journey and the consumption. By
refuelling, the memory will be erased
automatically.

MFD total
calcula-
tion

The memory records the values for a
specific number of partial trips, up to a
total of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 99
hours and 59 minutes, or 1999.9 km or
9999 km, depending on the model of
instrument panel. On reaching either of
these limits

, the memory is automati-

is made at 10 km/h (5 mph) intervals.

Note

●

Please bear in mind that, even with the

to keep an eye on the vehicle speed with the
speedometer and to observe the legal speed
limits.

●

The speed limit warning function in the ver-

of 120 km/h (75 mph). This is a factory-set
speed limit.

Service intervals

The service interval indication appears on the
instrument panel display

›››



Fig. 110

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 already
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 change
(max. 2 years), the vehicle's conditions of
use and individual driving styles are consid-
ered. The advance warning first appears 20
days before the date established for the cor-
responding service. The kilometres (miles)
remaining until the next service are always
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.

Inspection reminder
When the Service date is approaching, when
the ignition is switched on a

Service remind-

er is displayed.

Vehicles without text messages: a span-
ner  will be displayed on the instrument
panel plus an indication in

The kilometres indicated are the maximum
number of kilometres that can be travelled
until the next service. After a few seconds,
the display mode changes. A clock symbol
appears and the number of days until the
next service is due.

Vehicles with text messages:

Service in

--- km or --- days

will be shown on the

instrument panel display.

Service due
When

the service date is due, an audible

warning is given when the ignition is switch-
ed on and the spanner displayed on the
screen flashes for a few seconds .

Vehicles with text messages:

will be shown on the instrument panel dis-
play.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The essentials

Reading a service notification
With the ignition switched on, the engine off
and the vehicle at a standstill, the current
service notification can be read:

Press and hold the button

for more than 5

seconds to consult the service message.

When the

service date has passed, a minus

sign is displayed in front of the number of kil-
ometres or days.
