Operation
If you press one of the  butt
on s again, the
rear lid will move again in the original direc-
tion.
If the rear lid is met with resistance or an ob-
stacle during the automatic opening or clos-
ing, opening or closing will be interrupted
immediately. For the closing process, the rear
lid opens again slightly.
● Check why it has not been possible to open
or close the r
ear lid.
● Try to open or close the rear lid again.
● If necessary, the rear lid can be opened or
closed b
y hand using reasonable force.
Special feature for pulling a trailer
If the factory-fitted towing bracket is electri-
cally connected to a trailer ››› page 273, the
electric rear lid can only be opened or closed
with the buttons on the rear lid itself.
Acoustic warnings
Throughout the process of opening or closing
the rear lid, acoustic warnings can be heard.
Exception: when the rear lid is opened man-
ually using the handle or the Easy Open func-
tion with the movement of the foot or closed
using the button on the rear lid itself
››› Fig. 137. Modifying and memorising the opening an-
gle
If the s

pace behind or above the vehicle is
less than the travel area of the rear lid, you
can change the opening angle of the rear lid.
To memorise a new opening angle, the rear
lid must be open at least halfway.
● Interrupt the opening process in the de-
sired po
sition.
● Press the  button ›
›› Fig. 137 on the rear
lid for at least 3 seconds.
The opening angle is memorised. Memorisa-
tion is indicated by blinking of the hazard
warning lights and an audible warning.
Resetting and memorising the opening angle
For the rear lid to reopen completely, the
opening angle must be reset and memorised
again.
● Release the rear lid and open it to the
memorised height.
● Lif

t the rear lid by hand as far as it goes. To
do this, some for
ce will have to be used.
● Press the  button ›
›› Fig. 137 on the rear
lid for at least 3 seconds.
● This resets and memorises the factory-set
opening angl
e. Memorisation is indicated by
blinking of the hazard warning lights and an
audible warning. Automatic protection against overheating
If the sys

tem is operated repeatedly in a
short space of time, it automatically switches
off to prevent overheating.
Once the system is cool again, the function
can be reused. Until then, the rear lid can on-
ly be opened and closed by hand using rea-
sonable force.
If with the rear lid open the vehicle battery is
disconnected ››› page 305 or the corre-
sponding fuse burns out ››› page 102, the
system will have to be reset. This requires
closing the rear lid completely once.
Emergency unlocking
›››  page 17 WARNING
If a lot of snow builds up on the rear lid or it
is he

avily loaded, the rear lid may not open
or, after opening, it may lower by itself due to
the extra weight and cause serious injury.
● Do not open the rear lid when there is a lot
of sno
w on it or when carrying a load (e.g. on
a rack).
● Before opening the rear lid, remove the
snow or the lo
ad. WARNING
If the rear lid is closed incorrectly or without
due car e, it

could result in serious injury.138

Lights and visibility
Daytime running lights The daytime running lights consist of individ-
ual lights, int
e
grated in the front headlights.
By connecting the daytime running lights,
these lights are switched on 1)
››› .
The da ytime ru

nning lights switch on every
time the ignition is switched on, if the switch
is in positions  or , according to the level
of exterior lighting.
When the light switch is in position , a
light sensor automatically switches dipped
beam on and off (including the control and
instrument lighting) or the daytime running
lights depending on the level of exterior
lighting. WARNING
● Never driv e w

ith daytime lights if the road
is not well lit due to weather or lighting con-
ditions. Daytime lights do not provide
enough light to illuminate the road properly
or be seen by other road users.
● On vehicles with rear lights with bulbs,
when activating the d
aytime running light
the rear lights are not switched on. A vehicle
which does not have the rear lights on may
not be visible to other drivers in the dark-
ness, in the case of heavy rain or in condi-
tions of poor visibility. Turn signal and main beam lever

In vehicles that do not have the correspond-
ing menu, this function can be deactivated in
a specialised workshop. WARNING
Improper or lack of use of the turn signals, or
for g

etting to deactivate them can confuse
other road users. This could result in a seri-
ous accident. ●
Alw a

ys give warning when you are going to
change lane, overtake or when turning, acti-
vating the turn signal in good time.
● As soon as you have finished changing
lane, ov
ertaking or turning, switch the turn
signal off. WARNING
Incorrect use of the headlights may cause ac-
c ident s

and serious injury, as the main beam
may distract or dazzle other drivers. Note
● If the c on

venience turn signals are operat-
ing (three flashes) and the other convenience
turn signals are switched on, the active part
stops flashing and only flashes once in the
new part selected.
● The turn signal only works when the igni-
tion is sw
itched on. The hazard warning
lights also work when the ignition is switch-
ed off.
● If a trailer turn signal malfunctions, the
contro
l lamp will stop flashing (trailer turn
signals) and the vehicle turn signal will flash
at double speed.
● The main beam headligh
ts can only be
switched on if the dipped beam headlights
are already on. »1)
On vehicles equipped with rear LED lights, the rear
side light i

s switched on as well. 145

Air conditioningFunction button: Function

It enables activation and deactivation of
the PureAir and opens the submenu.
Air conditioning user instructions
The interior cooling system only works when
the engine i
s

running and fan is switched on.
The air conditioner operates most effectively
with the windows and the panoramic sliding
sunroof closed. However, if the vehicle has
heated up after standing in the sun for some
time, the air inside can be cooled more quick-
ly by opening the windows and the panoram-
ic sliding sunroof briefly.
Climatronic: change the temperature unit on
the screen of the radio or on the factory-fit-
ted navigation system
Changing the temperature display from Cel-
sius to Fahrenheit on radio or on the factory- fitted navigation system is done using the
menu on the ins
trument

panel
›››  page 36.
The cooling system cannot be activated
If the air conditioning system cannot be
switched on, this may be caused by the fol-
lowing:
● The engine is not running.
● The fan is switched off.
● The air conditioner fuse has blown.
● The outside temperature is lower than ap-
prox
imately +3°C (+38°F).
● The air conditioner compressor has been
temporari
ly switched off because the engine
coolant temperature is too high.
● Another fault in the vehicle. Have the air
conditioner chec
ked by a specialised work-
shop. Special Characteristics
If the humidity and t

emperature outside the
vehicle are high, condensation can drip off
the evaporator in the cooling system and
form a pool underneath the vehicle. This is
normal and does not indicate a leak! Note
After starting the engine, any residual humid-
ity in the air c onditioner c

ould mist over the
windscreen. Switch on the defrost function as
soon as possible to clear the windscreen of
condensation. 173

Operation
WARNING
Never programme the auxiliary heater so that
it sw it
ches itself on and is running in an en-
closed space or an area with no ventilation.
The auxiliary heater exhaust fumes contain
carbon monoxide, an odourless and colour-
less toxic gas. Carbon monoxide can cause
people to lose consciousness. It can also
cause death. Operating instructions
The auxiliary heater exhaust system located
belo
w the
v

ehicle must be kept clear of snow,
mud and other objects. The exhaust fumes
must be able to exit freely. The emissions
generated by the auxiliary heater are re-
moved via an exhaust pipe fitted underneath
the vehicle.
On heating the vehicle interior, depending on
the outside temperature, the warm air is first
directed at the windscreen and then to the
rest of the vehicle interior through the air
vents. Directing the diffusers – towards the
windows for example – can affect air distribu-
tion.
When will the auxiliary heater not be activa-
ted?
● The auxiliary heater requires about as
much po w

er as the dipped beam headlights.
If the 12-volt battery charge is too low, the auxiliary heater switches off automatically
and cannot
be sw

itched on. This avoids prob-
lems when starting the engine.
● The heating must be activated every time
you want
to set off. Similarly, the departure
time must reactivate each time.
● The control lamp  (fuel l
evel indicator)
lights up. Note
● Noise s

will be heard while the auxiliary
heater is running.
● When the air humidity is high and the in-
side temper
ature low, condensation from the
heating and ventilating system may evapo-
rate when the auxiliary heater is switched on.
In this case, steam may be released from un-
derneath the vehicle. This does not mean
that there is a vehicle malfunction.
● If the vehicle is tilted, e.g. if parked on a
slope, the operation of
the auxiliary heater
may be restricted if the fuel tank level is low
(just above the reserve level).
● If the auxiliary heater is used a number of
times f
or a long period of time, the 12-volt
battery will lose its charge. To recharge the
battery, the vehicle must be driven for a num-
ber of kilometres from time to time. As a
guideline: The journey should last approxi-
mately as long as the heater was connected.
● At temperatures below +5°C (+41°F), the
auxili
ary heater may switch itself on automat-
ically when the engine is switched on. The auxiliary heater is switched off again after a
cer
t

ain time.180

Driver assistance systems
Driving through a bend
On ent erin
g or e
xiting bends, the radar sen-
sor may no longer determine the vehicle in
front or react to a vehicle in the adjacent lane
››› Fig. 200 A. In these situations the vehicle
may brake unnecessarily or fail to react to re-
act to the vehicle in front. In this case, the
driver has to intervene by accelerating or in-
terrupting the braking process by applying
the brake or pushing the third lever back-
wards ››› page 224.
Driving in tunnels
When driving through tunnels the radar sen-
sor may be limited. Switch off the ACC in tun-
nels.
Narrow or misaligned vehicles
The radar sensor can only detect narrow or
misaligned vehicles when they are within
range ››› Fig. 200 B. This applies particularly
to narrow vehicles such as motorbikes. In
these cases, you should brake as necessary.
Vehicles with special loads and accessories
Special loads and accessories of other vehi-
cles that jut out over the sides, backwards or
over the top may be out of the ACC's range.
Switch off the ACC when driving behind vehi-
cles with special loads and accessories or
when overtaking them. In these cases, you
should brake as necessary. Other vehicles changing lanes
Vehicl
es changing lanes a short distance
away from your own can only be detected
when they are within range of the sensors.
Consequently, the ACC will take longer to re-
act ››› Fig. 201 C. In these cases, you should
brake as necessary.
Stationary vehicles
The ACC does not detect stationary objects
while driving, such as traffic tails or damaged
vehicles.
If a vehicle detected by the ACC turns or
moves over and there is a stationary vehicle
in front of it, the ACC will not react to it
››› Fig. 201 D. In these cases, you should
brake as necessary.
Vehicles driving in the opposite direction
and vehicles crossing your path
The ACC does not react to vehicles approach-
ing from the opposite direction or vehicles
crossing your path.
Metal objects
Metal objects, e.g. rails on the road or sheets
used in road works, can confuse the radar
sensor and cause the ACC to react wrongly. Factors that may affect how the radar sensor
operate
s
If laser sensor operation is impaired, due to
heavy rain, spray, snow or mud, the ACC is
deactivated temporarily. The relevant text
message will appear in the dash panel dis-
play. If necessary clean the SEAT
badge ››› Fig. 196.
When the radar sensor begins to operate
properly again, the ACC will automatically be
available again. The message on the instru-
ment panel screen will switch off and the ACC
will be reactivated again.
ACC operation may be affected by a strong ra-
dar reverse reflection, for example in a closed
car park.
Trailer mode
When driving with trailer the ACC controls
less dynamically.
Overheated brakes
If the brakes overheat, for example after
abrupt braking or in long and steep slopes,
the ACC may be deactivated temporarily. The
relevant text message will appear in the dash
panel display. In this case, adaptive cruise
control cannot be activated.
Adaptive cruise control can be reactivated
once brake temperature has cooled suffi-
ciently. The message will disappear from the
instrument panel display. If the message ACC»
