Cockpit*
Depending on the features, the SEAT Digital
Cockpit can displ
ay a det

ailed map. To do
this, select the Navigation option in the
menu on the instrument panel ››› page 71
.
Depending on the features or the navigation
map, it can be shown in the SEAT Digital
Cockpit or on the infotainment system or on
both at the same time. If it is displayed only in
the infotainment system, the SEAT Digital
Cockpit will only display the arrows for ma-
noeuvres. Transfer of navigation map
The map is tr
ansf

erred from the infotainment
system to the SEAT Digital Cockpit and vice
versa using the map transfer button.
Using the right thumbwheel of the multifunc-
tion steering wheel, in the Navigation menu,
you can transfer the map back to the info-
tainment system.

Instruments and warning/control lamps
Combined operating range display 
(hybrid v ehicl
es)
The value shown is calculated and updated
according to the driving style. Therefore, the
range can vary even when the fuel tank is full
and the high-voltage battery is fully charged.
Range can be increased by reducing or
switching off comfort consumers, e.g. air con-
ditioning or seat heating.
Speed warning for winter tyres
If the maximum speed set is exceeded, this is
displayed on the instrument panel
››› page 71.
The speed warning can be set in the Infotain-
ment system, by using the function button 
! SETTINGS ! Driver assistance
››› page 90.
Indications of the compass
Depending on the equipment, when the igni-
tion is on, the instrument panel display indi-
cates the direction in which you are driving
with a symbol, e.g. NW for Northwest.
When the Infotainment system is on and there
is no route guidance active, the graphic rep-
resentation of a compass is also shown.

When driving with low fuel, the vehicle may
st all in tr
affic and cause accidents and se-
vere injuries.

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.

 Show the active operating mode
The operating mode activ
e at any given time
is displayed on the instrument cluster display,
e.g. B. WARNING
Switching to a different operating mode
whil e driving can distr

act you from traffic
conditions and cause accidents. Note
Information about the operating mode that
is curr ently activ

e is displayed on the in-
strument cluster display, along with the
charge level of the high-voltage battery. Troubleshooting
@
The E-MODE oper
ating mode is not
av
ailable
The indicator lamp lights up in white.
The E-MODE operating mode N
(driving in
electric mode) cannot be used temporarily
because one or more conditions are not met.

Driving
Engine
Depending on the pr ofil
e selected, the engine
responds more quickly or smoothly to the ac-
celerator being pressed. When the Eco pro-
file is selected, the Start-stop function is
activated.
In vehicles with automatic transmission, the
gear change timing is changed to put the
changes at higher or lower revolutions. The
Eco profile activates the Inertia function,
thereby reducing consumption. The rest of
the driving profiles will activate the inertia use
function when the selector lever is not in the S
position, depending on how the accelerator
pedal is released ››› page 233
. When the ve-
hicle is turned on again, the function is activa-
ted by default to reduce consumption.
With manual transmission, the Eco profile
changes the gear change recommendations
to facilitate more efficient driving.
Dynamic chassis control (DCC)*
DCC continuously adapts the shock absorb-
ers to the condition of the road and current
driving conditions, according to the pre-set
programme.
In the event of a fault in the DCC, the follow-
ing message is displayed on the instrument screen Fault: shock absorber regula-
tion
Steering
The po
wer steering varies its driving modes
and adapts to the profile selected, thus offer-
ing the best behaviour for each situation.
Air conditioning
The Climatronic* can operate in Eco mode
with particularly limited consumption.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
Depending on the driving profile, the perform-
ance of the ACC varies, to allow more sporty
acceleration and braking or a more respect-
ful fuel consumption.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
In the Offroad and Snow driving profiles, the
electronic stability Control (ESC)
››› page 278 adjusts to adapt to the terrain.
In addition, hill descent control (HDC) is acti-
vated in the Offroad profile ››› page 236
.
PreCrash system
The PreCrash system adapts according to
the selected configuration. The Sport and
Offroad driving profiles have specific settings to adapt them to driving and terrain charac-
teristics
