The retaining hooks have been designed to
secure light shopping bags. WARNING
Never use the hooks to hang luggage or
other ob jects. In case of sudden br

an accident, the hooks could break. CAUTION
Each hook is designed for a maximum load
of 2.5 k g. Trapdoor for long loads

LED on the power socket
Flashing red
light: There is an anomaly, e.g. dis-
connection due t
o a curr
ent
surge or overheating. Disconnection due to overheating
When the t
emper
ature exceeds a certain val-
ue, the 230 volt socket inverter is automati-
cally disconnected. The disconnection pre-
vents overheating when the power consump-
tion of the connected devices is excessive or
the ambient temperature is very high. The
230-volt power supply can be used once
again after a cooling time. First unplug the
connector of the connected device and then
plug it back in again. This prevents the elec-
trical device from being switched on again if
this is not wanted. WARNING
The electrical system is under high voltage!

Driving
Hybrid B (use the batt ery's char
ge)1)
This is the operating mode that allows you to
save most fuel.
The operating mode control unit tries to make
the most of the battery charge. For this pur-
pose, with active directions the navigation
data are also accessed.
In this operating mode, the electric motor and
the combustion engine share the work of
driving the vehicle.
In hybrid operating mode, the power from the
battery charge is used optimally. If route
guidance is activated, the vehicle may auton-
omously recharge the high-voltage battery
using the combustion engine.
Manual control of the battery charge
Manual control of the battery charge is only
possible in Hybrid operating mode. The op-
tion selected by the user is only valid until the
ignition is switched off or the vehicle is switch-
ed to Hybrid mode or E-MODE.
Press the function button and use the sym-
bols , = and to control the battery charge:
Pressing this symbol selects a higher
theoretical charge level. The vehicle
tries to reach that new theoretical high-
volt
age battery charge level while driv-
ing. The vehicle is powered by the com-
bustion engine. If the combustion engine
has “excess” power, it is used to charge
the high-voltage battery. This option in-
creases fuel consumption. SEAT there-
fore recommends using the charging
socket to charge the high-voltage bat-
tery, whenever possible ››› page 320
.
The high-voltage battery charge level is
kept at around the current level while
driving. If you accelerate harder or in-
crease the vehicle speed, the combus-
tion engine starts up. When permitted by
the driver’s demand for acceleration and
the vehicle speed, the vehicle switches
back to electric mode.
Pressing this symbol selects a lower the-
oretical charge level. The vehicle only
uses the battery's charge when it is
above the selected theoretical charge
level. The rest is kept until the end of the
journey.

Hill Descent Control limits the speed on steep
descents by aut
omatically br
aking all four
wheels, both when moving forward and in re-
verse. As the anti-lock brake system remains
active, it prevents the wheels from locking. In
vehicles with manual transmission, the Hill
Descent Control adapts the theoretical
speed without slowing the engine below its
idling speed.
After starting the descent of a slope below
30 km/h (18 mph), speed is limited to a mini-
mum of 2 km/h (1 mph) and a maximum of
30 km/h (18 mph). When appropriate, the
driver may increase or decrease the speed
within the limit by pressing the accelerator or the brake. At this point the function is interrup-
ted and, if necessary, it is then r
eactivated.
Even so, it is imperative that the surface guar-
antees sufficient adhesion. For this reason,
the Hill Descent Control will not fulfil its func-
tion when, for example, descending a slope
with a frozen or slippery surface.
Hill Descent Control is available when the
dash panel display shows the message k .
Hill Descent Control automatically intervenes
if the following conditions are met:
