The Int elligent Hybrid
App allows the user to
save electrical energy until reaching home
(charging point) with just “one click”. If this
option is not selected, the maximum amount
of electrical energy will be consumed until
the selected destination is reached. If the
user has no active route, the function will offer
the activation of a predictive route and BMA
mode from the widget itself with just one
click.

Driving
 – P
arking l ock
When the P button is pressed, the drive
wheels are locked. Only press P when the ve-
hicle is stationary ››› .
T o pr

ess the P button you must press the
brake pedal simultaneously.
 – Reverse gear
Reverse gear must be engaged only when
the vehicle is stationary and the engine is
idling ››› .
T o engage r

everse gear R, you must press the
brake pedal simultaneously. The reverse
lights switch on when the reverse gear R is
selected and the ignition is on.
 – Neutral
In this position, the gear is in neutral.
Press the brake pedal to move the lever from
N to D/S when the vehicle is stationary or at
speeds below 3 km/h (2 mph) ››› .
 – P
ermanent f

orward drive position
The D/S position enables the gears to be op-
erated in normal mode (D) or sport mode (S).
To select Sport mode S, move the lever back-
wards. Pushing the lever again will select nor-
mal mode D. The selected driving mode is
displayed on the instrument panel screen.
In normal mode (D), the gearbox selects the
best gear ratio. This depends on the engine load, the road speed and the dynamic gear
control pr

ogramme (DCP).
Sport mode (S) should be selected for a
sporty driving style. This setting makes use of
the engine's maximum power output. When
accelerating the gear shifts will be noticea-
ble.
Under certain circumstances (e.g. on moun-
tain roads) it can be advantageous to switch
tiptronic mode ››› page 231
, to adapt the
gears to suit the road conditions.
Selector lever lock
In N, the lever lock prevents a gear range
from being engaged, and prevents the vehi-
cle from moving off accidentally.
Press and hold the brake pedal with your left
foot with the engine running.
As a reminder to the driver, when the lever is
in position N the following indication will be
shown on the screen:
When stationary, apply footbrake
while selecting a gear.
The lever is not locked if it is moved quickly
through position N (e.g. when shifting from R
to D). This makes it possible, for instance, to
“rock the vehicle backwards and forwards” if
it is stuck in snow or mud. The lever lock en-
gages automatically if the brake pedal is not
pressed and the lever is in position N for more than about one second at a speed of less
than 5 km/h (3 mph). WARNING

Driving
Steering Inf ormation r
elating to different ve-
hicle processes. Electro-mechanical power steering adapts
el
ectr

onically to the speed of the car, torque
and steering angle.
Even if the power steering fails or the engine
is stopped, it is possible to continue to rotate
the steering wheel as long as the key remains
in the ignition, but more force must be ap-
plied.
Progressive steering
Depending on the vehicle’s features, it may or
may not incorporate a progressive steering
system.
In city traffic you do not need to turn so much
on parking, manoeuvring or in very tight turns.
On the road or on the motorway, progressive
steering transmits, for example, in bends, a
sportier, more direct and noticeably more dy-
namic driving sensation. Control lamp v
It lights up red
Faulty steering.
Do not continue driving, stop the v

possible and in a safe manner.
Take the vehicle to a specialised workshop and have
the fault repaired as soon as possible. v

If the warning light does not come on again after re-
starting the engine and driving a short distance, it is
not necessary to check the steering.
OR: The 12-v olt batt
ery was disconnected and re-
connected.
Drive a short distance at 15-20 km / h (9-12 mph). v

T
urn off the ignition and turn it on again. Consider the
messages shown on the instrument panel display.
Do not continue driving if the steering column re-
mains locked after switching on the ignition. Seek
specialist assistance. The control lamp should light up for a few
seconds when the ignition is s
wit

ched on. It
should go out once the engine is started. WARNING
Never ignore the warning lamps or messag-
es.

Driving
Trailer brakes
If the tr ail
er has its own brake system, please
take the relevant legal requirements into ac-
count. Never connect the trailer's brake sys-
tem to the vehicle's brake system.
Tow cable
Always use a cable between the vehicle and
the trailer ››› page 300
.
Trailer tail lights
The trailer's rear lights should comply with
the statutory safety regulations ››› page 300
.
Never connect the trailer's rear lights directly
to the vehicle's electric system. If you are not
sure that the trailer's electrical connection is
correct, have it checked by a specialised
workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT
dealership for this.
Exterior mirrors
If you cannot see the area behind the trailer
with the exterior mirrors of the towing vehicle,
additional mirrors will have to be installed in
accordance with the regulations of the coun-
try in question. The exterior mirrors should be
adjusted before you start driving and must
provide a sufficient field of vision at the rear. WARNING
If the towing bracket is wrongly fitted or is
not the right one , the tr

ailer could become detached from the vehicle and cause seri-
ous injury.
CAUTION

Practical tips
WARNING
The 12 volt battery is a subject to wear. A
r eduction in batt
ery power can mean that
some important safety systems, such as
power steering, braking intervention, lights
or airbag systems, operate with limitations
or stop working entirely. This may cause
serious accidents and injuries. To avoid
this, it is necessary to take the following
safety measure:
