Both the SEAT CONNECT service portfolios
offered by SEAT and individual services can
be modified, cancelled, deactivated, reacti-
vated, renamed and extended, even without
prior notification.
In https://my.seat you can create the user

Start and driving
selected driving mode is shown on the instru-
ment panel displ ay.
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 programme (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 230
, to adapt the
gears to suit the road conditions.
– Permanent forward drive position
(valid for hybrid vehicles)
The lever in the D/B position allows the gears
to be operated in coasting or recuperation
mode.
Push the lever backwards to select mode B.
Pushing it again will return to mode D.

Driving
Brake blending 1)
The br ak
e energy recuperation can generate
a braking effect. This braking effect depends
on the selected driving programme and the
level of charge of the high-voltage battery.
If the braking effect caused by the recupera-
tion is very intense, the vehicle’s brake lights
with turn on. The electric engine, when oper-
ating as an alternator, can generate braking
torque on the front wheels based on the RPM
and the temperature and charge level of the
high-voltage battery.
These variable parameters cause fluctuating
electric decelerations which are hydraulical-
ly compensated according to the driver’s de-
sires. This function is called “brake blending”
and it combines mechanical braking with the
engine brake effect. WARNING
Driving at high speed on icy, slippery wet
gr ound can r
esult in loss of vehicle control
and serious injury to the driver and passen-
gers.

Driving
Technical requirements Vehicles that are f
act ory-mounted with a
towing device meet all the technical and le-
gal requirements for driving with a trailer
››› page 313.
If the vehicle is retrofitted with a towing
bracket, only a bracket that is authorised for
the maximum authorised load of the trailer
that is to be towed may be fitted. The towing
bracket must be suitable for the vehicle and
the trailer and must be properly secured to
the vehicle's chassis. Only use a towing
bracket that has been authorised by SEAT for
this vehicle. Always check and take into ac-
count the towing bracket manufacturer's in-
structions.
Towing bracket fitted on the bumper
Never fit a towing bracket to the bumper or to
the area where the bumper is mounted. The
towing bracket should not impair the bum-
per's function. Do not make modifications or
repairs to the exhaust system or the brake
system. Make regular checks to ensure that
the towing bracket is secure.
Engine cooling system
Driving with a trailer increases the load on the
engine and cooling system. The cooling sys-
tem should have sufficient coolant and be
prepared for the additional effort involved in
driving with a trailer. 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 309
.
Trailer tail lights
The trailer's rear lights should comply with
the statutory safety regulations ››› page 309
.
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.
Trailer maximum electricity consumption
Never exceed the values indicated! Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and Central
America Brake lights (total)
84 Watts
Turn signal (on each side) 42 Watts
Side lights (on each side) 50 Watts
Reverse lights (in total) 42 Watts
Rear fog light 42 Watts Australia
Brake lights (total)

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
