Introduction Your vehicle is equipped with an electronical-
ly contr
oll

ed manual gearbox. Torque be-
tween the engine and the gearbox is trans-
mitted via two independent clutches. They
replace the torque converter found on con-
ventional automatic gearboxes and allow for
smooth, uninterrupted acceleration of the ve-
hicle.
The Tiptronic system allows the driver to
change gears manually ››› page 230,

tr ol and w
arning lamps on page 85. Description and operation
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:

St eering assist
This help assists the driv
er in critical situa-
tions. It recommends turning the steering
wheel to perform a corrective manoeuvre
(counter-steering), turning slightly to avoid
skidding ››› .
WARNING
Steering assist helps the driver in critical
sit uations. The driv

er is the person who has
to control the vehicle's steering at all times. Control lamp

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

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

Start and driving
Changing tyres
On v ehicl
es with four-wheel drive, all four
tyres must have the same rolling circumfer-
ence. Also avoid using tyres with varying
tread depths ››› page 354

Off-roader?
Your SEAT vehicle is not an off-roader: it does
not have enough ground clearance to be
used as such. It is therefore best to avoid
rough tracks and uneven terrain as much as
possible. WARNING
