Fig.9 SEAT Digit
al Cockpit digital instrument
cluster: engine coolant temperature indicator.
Cold zone. The engine has not r
eached
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
.
W
arning 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.

●
St
op driving! Stop the vehicle at the next
opportunity and in a safe place.
●
Switch o the engine and let it cool down.
●
Check the coolant level in the coolant expan-
sion tank ›››page263.
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,
av
oid 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 ›››page22.
●
Additional lights and other accessories in
front of the air inlet reduce the cooling eect
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 eect, which could cause
the engine to overheat. Seek specialist assis-
tance.
