Information for the user
The storing of the data allows specialised
w
orkshops to detect and repair faults. Stored
data may include:
●
Data relating to the engine or the gearbox
●
Speed
●
Direction of travel
●
Braking force
●
Detection of seat belt
The vehicle control units never record conver-
sations held by passengers in the vehicle.
In vehicles equipped with an emergency call
function via the mobile phone or other appli-
ances connected in the vehicle, it is possible
to send the vehicle position. If the control unit
records an accident with airbag activation,
the system may automatically send a signal.
This will depend on the network operator.
Normally, transmission is only possible in
areas with good coverage.
Event Data Recorder
The vehicle is not fitted with an event data re-
corder.
An event data recorder temporarily stores the
vehicle information. Therefore, in the event of
an accident, it is possible to obtain detailed
information about how the accident occur-
red. For example, in vehicles with airbag sys-
tems, data relating to speed of impact, seat
belt status, seat positions and airbag activa-
tion times may be stored. The volume of data
depends on the manufacturer.
Event data recorders can only be mounted
with authorisation from the vehicle owner
and, in some countries, they are governed by
local legislation.
Reprogramming of control units
On the whole, all the data required for the
component management is stored in the
control units. The programming of certain
convenience functions, such as the turn sig-
nals, individual door opening and instructions
on the display can be modified using special
equipment at the workshop. If this is the case,
the information and descriptions given in the
Instruction Manual will not match the original
functions. Therefore, SEAT recommends that
any modifications be recorded in the section
“Other workshop notes” in the Maintenance
Programme.
The technical service centre must have a re-
cord of any modification to the programming.
Reading the vehicle's fault memory
There is a diagnostics connector in the vehi-
cle interior for reading the vehicle fault mem-
ory. The fault memory documents errors and
deviations from the theoretical values of the
electronic control units.
The diagnostics connector is in the driver side
footwell area, next to the lever for opening
the bonnet, below a cover.
The fault memory should only be read and
reset by a specialised workshop.
Other important information
Environmental compatibility
Environmental protection is a top priority in
the design, choice of mat
erials and manufac-
ture of your new SEAT.
Constructive measures to encourage re-
cycling
●
Joints and connections designed for easy
dismantling.
●
Modular construction to facilitate disman-
tling.
●
Increased use of single-grade materials.
●
Plastic parts and elastomers are marked in
accordance with ISO 1043, ISO 11469 and
ISO 1629.
Choice of materials
●
Use of recycled materials.
●
Use of compatible plastics in the same part
if its components are not easily separated.
