Auto-Check System - Seat Exeo ST 2011 Owner's Manual

Service reminder
The instrument panel controls the distance travelled every day. It calculates
the average of these distances travelled and activates the service reminder
sufficiently in advance.
The display reverts back to the standard display after about 5 seconds. The
remaining distance to the next service is updated every time the ignition is
switched on, until the service becomes due.
Service due
When a service is due, SERVICE! will appear in the display immediately after
you switch on the ignition. The display reverts back to the standard display
after about 5 seconds.
Resetting the display
The display is reset by the workshop after the service has been carried out.
The service interval will be set to a LongLife Service (flexible service interval)
or Inspection Service (fixed service interval), depending on which engine oil
is used. It is only possible to reset the display via the instrument panel when
an oil change is performed; in this case the display can only be reset to a fixed
service interval of 15,000 km. Proceed as follows:
•
Switch the ignition off.
•
Press the service button
on the ignition. The display will show one of these messages:
Service in ----- km or Service!
•
Now press and hold the reset button
Service in ----- km --- days or Service!
The display switches out of the reset mode if you do not press the reset button
within 5 seconds.
Caution
The system cannot calculate the figures for the service interval display if the
battery is disconnected from the vehicle, so no service reminder can be

Programme, even if you only cover a low mileage during this time.

The information in the service indicator remains intact if the battery is
disconnected.

The distance to the next service cannot be called up if the system has

Auto-check system

Introduction
The auto-check system checks important components and vehicle systems.
These background checks are run constantly, as long as the ignition is
switched on.
A message is displayed on the instrument panel if a fault should occur or if
any maintenance or repairs are urgently required. This is accompanied by an
audible warning signal. Depending on the priority of the fault, a red or yellow
warning symbol lights up on the display.
The red symbol indicates danger, whereas the yellow one represents a
warning. Additional messages for the driver may be shown with the red or
yellow symbols.
