fic lights. The ignition remains switched on
during the stopping phase. The engine auto-
matically switches back on when required. In
this situation, the light of the START ENGINE STOP button stays on

.
As soon a
s

the ignition is switched on, the

● The driver door must be closed.
● The driver must have their seat belt fas-
tened. ●
The bonnet mus
t be closed.
● The engine must have reached a minimum
servic
e temperature.
● The reverse gear must not be engaged.
● The vehicle must not be on a very steep

needed to turn the steering wheel or to brake.
As you cannot steer and brake in the normal
manner, there is a greater risk of accidents
and serious injury.
● Never remove the key from the ignition if
the vehic
le is in motion. Otherwise, the steer-
ing could lock making it impossible to steer
the vehicle.
● To avoid injury, make sure that the Start-
Stop sys

the engine compartment ››› page 210. CAUTION
The Start-Stop system must always be
swit c

hed off when driving through flooded
areas ››› page 210. Stopping/Starting the engine

The blind spot detector with parking assis-
tant can be switched on and off by accessing
the Assistance systems menu on the
dash panel display using the steering wheel
controls. If the vehicle is equipped with a
multifunction camera, it can also be ac-
cessed by means of the driver assistance sys-
tems key located on the main beam head-
light lever.
Open the Assistants menu.
●  Blind spot
●  Exit Assist
If

the verification box on the control panel is
checked , the functionality will be automat-
ically activated at ignition.
When the blind spot detector is ready to op-
erate, the indications in the external mirrors
will turn on briefly as confirmation.
When the vehicle is restarted, the last adjust-
ment in the system will remain active.
If the blind spot detector was automatically
deactivated, it will only be possible to restart
the system after turning the vehicle off and
restarting it. Automatic deactivation of the blind spot de-
tect
or (BSD)
The r

adar sensors of the blind spot detector
with rear cross traffic alert will be automati-
cally deactivated when, among other rea-
sons, one of the sensors is detected to be
permanently covered. This may be the case if,
for example, there is a layer of snow or ice in
front of one of the sensors.
The relevant text message will appear in the
dash panel display.
Trailer mode
The Blind spot detector and the rear cross
traffic alert will be automatically deactivated
and it will be impossible to activate them if
the tow hitch is electrically connected to a
trailer or other similar object.
As soon as the driver starts to drive with a
trailer connected electrically to the vehicle, a
message will appear on the instrument panel
display indicating that the blind spot detec-
tor and the rear cross traffic alert are deacti-
vated. Once the trailer has been unhitched
from the vehicle, if you want to use the blind
spot detector and the rear cross traffic alert,
you will have to reactivate them in the corre-
sponding menu.
If the towing hitch is not factory equipped,
then the blind spot detector and the rear
cross traffic alert will have to be deactivated
manually when driving with a trailer. SEAT Drive Profile*

driving Introduction
The SEAT Drive Profile enables the driver to
c
hoo
se betw

een four profiles or modes, Eco,
Normal , Sport and Individual , that
modify the behaviour of various vehicle func-
tions, providing different driving experiences.
In addition, the 4Drive version features the Offroad and Snow profiles.
The Individual profile can be configured
according to personal preferences. The other
profiles have a fixed configuration.
Description Depending on the equipment fitted in the ve-
hic
l
e,

SEAT Drive Profile can operate on the
following functions:

the environment.
NormalOffers a balanced driving experience,
suitable for everyday use.
SportProvides a complete dynamic perform-
ance in the vehicle, enabling the user a
more sporty driving style.

tion. The functions that can be adjusted
depend on the equipment fitted in the ve-
hicle.

der to maintain optimal off-road driving.
Snowa)It adjusts the vehicle's behaviour for driv-
ing on slippery road surfaces, optimising
grip and manoeuvrability.
a)
Only for 4Drive models. WARNING
When operating SEAT Drive Profile, pay atten-
tion to a l

l traffic: doing otherwise could cause
an accident. Note
● When the v ehic

le is switched off it will al-
ways store the driving profile that was selec-
ted when the ignition key was removed. Nev- ertheless, when the engine is restarted, the
engine and the g
e

ting selected. For engine and gear to revert to
the desired position, select the correspond-
ing drive profile again or press the Easy Con-
nect system button repeatedly.
● When the vehicle is restarted after using
the Offroad or Snow settings, the sy

stem is
always activated in the Normal profile.
● Your speed and driving style must always
be adjus
ted to visibility, weather, and traffic
conditions.
● The Eco profile is not recommended when
to

wing a vehicle. Kick-down
The Kick-down feature allows maximum ac-
c
el
er

ation to be reached.
If the Eco* profile has been selected in the
SEAT Drive Profile ››› page 243 and the
accelerator is pressed beyond a hard point,
the engine power is automatically controlled
to give your vehicle maximum acceleration. WARNING
Please note that if the road surface is slip-
pery or w

et, the kick-down feature could
cause the driving wheels to spin, which could
result in skidding. 244

ay from the vehicle are dis-
played in red.
Moreover, with the SEAT Media System
Plus/Navi System/Navi System Plus radios, a
yellow trail indicates the vehicle's expected
trajectory based on the steering angle.
Whenever the obstacle is located in the vehi-
cle’s direction of travel, the corresponding
audible warning will sound.
As the vehicle approaches an obstacle, the
segments are displayed closer to the vehicle.
When the penultimate segment is displayed,
this means that the vehicle has reached the
collision zone. In the collision zone, the ob-
stacles are represented in red, including
those out of the path. Do not continue to
