To reset the automatic air conditioning on the Seat Altea, start by turning on the instrument cluster without starting the car's engine. Turn off the air conditioning if it is on. Once the air conditioning is off, press and hold the "econ" button and simultaneously press the button that directs air to the face (the central button among those controlling the airflow) until all the climate symbols appear.

Once all symbols are off, you can use the air conditioning normally again. Finally, turn off the instrument cluster, turn it back on, and check if it remains set to the chosen temperature.
