Introduction
›› ›
table on page 2
SEAT Drive Profile enables the driver to
choose between four profiles or modes, Nor-
mal , Sport , Eco and Individual , that
modify the behaviour of various vehicle func-
tions, providing different driving experiences.
In the FR and X-PERIENCE models equipped
with dynamic chassis control, the Comfort
profile is also available.
In the Leon Cupra model the four profiles are Comfort , Sport, Cupra and Individual .
The Individual profile can be configured
according to personal preferences. The other
profiles are fixed. Description Depending on the equipment fitted in the ve-
hicl
e,
SEAT Drive Profile can operate on the
following functions:
Engine
Depending on the profile selected, the en-
gine responds more spontaneously or more
in harmony with the movements of the accel-
erator. Additionally, when Eco mode is selec-
ted, the Start-stop function is automatically
activated.
In vehicles with automatic transmission, the
gear change points are modified to position
them in lower or higher engine speed ranges.
Additionally, the Eco 1)
mode activates the In-
ertia function, enabling consumption to be
further reduced.
In manual gearbox vehicles, Eco1)
mode cau-
ses the gear change recommendation indica-
tions that appear on the instrument panel to
vary, facilitating more efficient driving.
Dynamic chassis control (DCC)
››› table on page 2 DCC continuously adapts the shock absorb-
ers
t
o the condition of the road and current
driving conditions, according to the pre-set
programme.
In the event of a fault in the DCC, the follow-
ing message is displayed on the instrument
screen Fault: damping setting .
Address

in eco 1)
mode, especially restricting fuel con-
sumption.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) 2)

celeration gradient of the adaptive cruise
control varies.

iour depending on the driving profile chosen. »1)
