2019 Seat Leon fuel consumption

Operating modes
Driving data Fig. 235
Driving data. The on-board computer has 3 memories.
They can be used t
o displ
ay: dist ance
, time
,
average speed, average consumption and
range.
1. Since start
Indication and storage of distance travelled
and consumption values between the ignition
being turned on and it being turned off.
2. Since refuelling
Display and storage of the values for the jour-
ney and the consumption. By refuelling, the
memory will be erased automatically.
3. Long-term
The memory records the values for a specific
number of partial trips, up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 99 hours and 59 mi-
nutes, or 1999.9 km (mi) or 9999 km (mi), de-
pending on the model of instrument panel.
When one of these values is reached (de-
pending on the version of the instrument pan-
el), the memory is aut

omatically deleted and
starts counting again from 0.

Driving
Foresight when driving
If you think ahead when driving, you will need
t o br
ake l
ess and thus accel
erate less. Take
advantage of the inertia of the vehicle when-
ever possible, with a gear engaged. This
takes advantage of the engine braking effect,
reducing wear on the brakes and tyres. Emis-
sions and fuel consumption will drop to zero.
Changing gear to save energy
An effective way of saving is to change in ad-
vance to a higher gear.
Manual transmission: shift up from first to
second gear as soon as possible. Choosing
the right gear enables fuel savings. Select the
highest possible gear appropriate for the
driving situation (the engine should continue
functioning with cyclical regularity).
Automatic transmission: accelerate gradu-
ally and without reaching the “kick-down”
position.
Avoid driving at high speed
Avoid travelling at your vehicle

Start and driving
Save electrical energy
The engine driv es the alt
ernator
, ther
eby
generating electricity. This implies that any
increase in power consumption also increa-
ses fuel consumption! For this reason, switch
off any unneeded electrical devices. Devices
that use a lot of electricity includes the blow-
er at a high setting, the rear window heating
or the seat heating*

Intr oduction Take into account country-specific regula-
tions about driving with a trailer and the use
of a to wing br
acket.
The vehicle has been developed primarily for
carrying people, although it can also be used
to tow a trailer if fitted with the corresponding
technical equipment. This additional load has
an effect on the useful life, fuel consumption
and vehicle performance and in some cases
can reduce the service intervals.
Driving with a trailer requires more force from
the vehicle, and thus more concentration
from the driver.
In winter, winter tyres should be fitted on both
the vehicle and the trailer.
