The essentials
Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle
and t ak
e car
e to avoid jerking the tow rope.
When towing on an unpaved road, there is al-
ways a risk of overloading and damaging the
anchorage points.
Switch on the ignition so that the turn signals,
windscreen wipers and windscreen washer
can work. Ensure that the steering wheel is
unlocked and moves freely.
Place the gear lever in neutral on vehicles
with a manual gearbox. With an automatic
gearbox, place the lever in N.
To brake, press the brake pedal firmly. The
brake servo does not work when the engine is
switched off.
The power steering only works when the igni-
tion is switched on and the vehicle is moving,
provided that the battery is sufficiently
charged. Otherwise, it will need more force.
Ensure that the tow rope remains taut at all
times.

Operation
Convenience turn signals
F or the one-t
ouch signalling, when the igni-
tion is s
witched on, move the lever as far as
possible upwards or downwards and release
the lever. The turn signal will flash three times.
One-touch signalling is activated and deacti-
vated in the Easy Connect system via the  button and the function button SETTINGS !

Start and driving
The control lamps light up together when the
ignition is s wit
ched on and shoul
d turn off af-
ter approximately 2 seconds. This is the time
taken for the function check.
Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
The ESC helps to impr
o

ve safety. It reduces
the tendency to skid and improves the stabili-
ty and roadholding of the vehicle. The ESC
detects critical handling situations, such as
vehicle understeer or oversteer, or wheelspin
on the driving wheels. It stabilises the vehicle
by braking individual wheels or by reducing
the engine torque. The warning lamp will
flash on the instrument panel when the ESC is
intervening !.
The ESC includes the anti-lock brake system
(ABS), the hydraulic brake assist (HBA), the
traction control system (ASR), electronic dif-
ferential lock (EDS), electronic torque control
(XDS) and tractor-trailer sway mitigation*.
ESC also helps stabilise the vehicle by
changing the torque.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS prevents the wheels from locking up un-
der braking until the vehicle has reached a
virtual standstill. You can continue to steer the
vehicle even when the brakes are on full.
Keep your foot on the brake pedal and do not pump the brakes. You will feel the brake pedal
pulsat
e whil

e the ABS is working.
Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)
The brake assist system can reduce the re-
quired braking distance. The braking force is
automatically boosted if you press the brake
pedal quickly in an emergency. You must
keep pressing the brake pedal until the dan-
ger has passed.
Traction control system (ASR)
In the event of wheelspin, the traction control
system reduces the engine torque to match
the amount of grip available. This helps the
car to start moving, accelerate or climb a
gradient.
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
When the EDL detects wheelspin, it brakes
the spinning wheel and directs the power to
the other driven wheel. This function is active
up to approximately 100 km/h (62 mph).
To prevent the disc brake of the braked wheel
from overheating, the EDL cuts out automati-
cally if subjected to excessive loads. The ve-
hicle can still be driven. The EDL will switch on
again automatically when the brake has
cooled down. Tractor-trailer sway mitigation*
If the vehicle is pulling a tr
ailer, it will control
the following: tractor-trailers tend to sway.
When the swaying of the trailer is felt by the
vehicle and detected by the ESC, it will auto-
matically brake the towing vehicle within the
limits of the system and mitigate the sway.
Tractor-trailer sway mitigation is not available
in all countries.
Electronic torque management (XDS)
When taking a curve, the driveshaft differen-
tial mechanism allows the outer wheel to turn
at a higher speed than the inner wheel. In this
way, the wheel that is turning faster (outer
wheel) receives less drive torque than the in-
ner wheel. This may mean that in certain sit-
uations the torque delivered to the inner
wheel is too high, causing the wheels to spin.
On the other hand, the outer wheel is receiv-
ing a lower drive torque than it could transmit.
This causes an overall loss of lateral grip on
the front axle, resulting in understeer or
“lengthening” of the trajectory.
The XDS system can detect and correct this
effect via the sensors and signals of the ESC.
Via the ESC, the XDS will brake the inside
wheel and counter the excess driving torque
of that wheel. This means that the driver

Switch the speed limiter off temporarily by
pressing down the accelerator (kick-

If the accelerator is pressed right down (kick-
down) and the set speed is exceeded be-
cause driver wishes to do so, the limiter is
temporarily disabled.
To confirm it being switched off an acoustic
signal sound once. While the limiter is off, the
warning and control lamp  flashes. When the accelerator is no longer pressed
down and the speed is reduced below the set
value, the limiter switches on again. The con-

Driving

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
not available remains on for quite a long
time it means that there is a fault. Contact a
specialised workshop. SEAT recommends vis-
iting a SEAT dealership. WARNING
If you do not heed the Press the brake
message, the v ehicl

e may initiate an invol-
untary movement and could crash into the
vehicle ahead. In any event, before driving
off, check that the road is clear. The radar
sensor may not detect obstacles on the
road. This could cause an accident and se-
rious injuries. If necessary, apply the brake. Lane Assist system*

ects the possible
lines dividing the lanes. When the vehicle in-
voluntarily approaches a dividing line it has
detected, the system notifies the driver with a
corrective steering movement. The purpose is
not only to warn the driver, but also to keep
the vehicle inside the lane. This movement
can be over-regulated at any time.
No warning is produced with the turn signals
activated, given that the Lane Assist system
understands that a lane change is required.
As soon as the ignition is switched on, the
lane departure function is automatically acti-
vated. Control lamp "
