Operating modes
Instructions for navigation When the Infotainment system is unable to re-
ceive any dat
a fr
om GPS satellites (due to a
dense tree canopy, underground car park),
navigation can still continue using the vehicle
sensors.
Possible limitations in navigation
In areas that are not or are only partially digi-
tised on the data storage device (e.g. insuffi-
cient definition of one-way streets and road
categories), the Infotainment system will still
attempt to provide route guidance.
Navigation area and updating navigation
data
Roads and streets are subject to constant
change (e.g. new roads, changes to street
names and building numbers). Therefore, if
the navigation data is not updated, then er-
rors or inaccuracies may occur during guid-
ance.
SEAT recommends updating navigation data
on a regular basis. Up to date navigation data
can be downloaded from www.seat.com or
acquired at a SEAT dealer. Updating and using navigation da-
ta fr
om an SD car

d  Only available for the model: Navi System
The Inf ot

ainment system always requires the
navigation data that is currently valid for this
unit in order to allow all functions to be used
in full. Using an old version may lead to errors
during navigation.
Updating navigation data
The current navigation data can be downloa-
ded in the internet at www.seat.com and stor-
ed in a SD card compatible with the unit.
Suitable SD Cards can be acquired at SEAT
dealerships.
The procedure is described on the internet at
www.seat.com.
Using navigation data

Start and driving
For your safety we recommend that you turn
off the Offr oad mode when it is not absolut
e-
ly necessary.
Disabl
e the ESC Offroad mode
Turn the Driving Experience button to select a
different driving mode

Start and driving
Foresight when driving
Accel er
ation causes the v
ehicle to consume
more fuel. If you think ahead when driving,
you will need to brake less and thus acceler-
ate less. Wherever possible, let the car roll
slowly to a stop, with a gear engaged (for in-
stance when you can see that the next traffic
lights are red). This takes advantage of the
engine braking effect, reducing wear on the
brakes and tyres. Emissions and fuel con-
sumption will drop to zero due to the overrun
fuel cut-off.
Changing gear to save energy
An effective way of saving is to change in ad-
vance to a higher gear. Running the engine at
high rpm in the lower gears uses an unneces-
sary amount of fuel.
Manual transmission: shift up from first to
second gear as soon as possible. In any case,
we recommend that you change to a higher
gear upon reaching 2,000 rpm. Choosing the
right gear enables fuel savings. Select the
highest possible gear appropriate for the
driving situation (the engine should continue
functioning with cyclical regularity).
Automatic transmission: accelerate gradu-
ally and without reaching the “kick-down”
position. Avoid driving at high speed
Avoid trav
elling at top speed, whenever pos-
sible. Fuel consumption, emission of harmful
gases and noise pollution multiply dispropor-
tionately as speed is increased. Driving at
moderate speeds will help to save fuel.
Reduce idling time
In vehicles with the Start-Stop system idling is
automatically reduced. In vehicles without
the Start-Stop system it is worth switching off
the engine, for example, at level crossings
and at traffic lights that remain red for long
periods of time. When an engine has reached
operating temperature, and depending on
the cylinder capacity, keeping it switched off
for a minimum of about 5 seconds already
saves more than the amount of fuel necessa-
ry for restarting.
The engine takes a long time to warm up
when it is idling. Mechanical wear and pollu-
tant emissions are also especially high during
this initial warm-up phase. It is therefore best
to drive off immediately after starting the en-
gine. Avoid running the engine at high speed.
Regular maintenance
Regular servicing helps in saving fuel even
before the engine is started. A well-serviced
engine gives you the benefit of improved fuel
efficiency as well as maximum reliability and
an enhanced resale value. A badly serviced engine can consume up to 10% more fuel
than necessary.
Avoid short journeys
The engine and cat
alytic converter need to
reach their optimal operating temperature
in order to minimise fuel consumption and
emissions.
A cold engine consumes a disproportionate
amount of fuel. The engine reaches its work-
ing temperature after about four kilometres
(2.5 miles), when fuel consumption will return
to a normal level.
Check tyre pressure
Always make sure the tyres are inflated to the
correct pressures

Driving
Engine
Depending on the pr ofil
e sel
ected, the engine
responds more spontaneously or more in har-
mony with the movements of the accelerator.
Additionally, when the Eco profile is selected,
the Start-Stop function is automatically acti-
vated.
In vehicles with automatic transmission, the
gear change points are modified to position
them in lower or higher engine speed ranges.
Additionally, the Eco profile activates the in-
ertia function, enabling consumption to be
further reduced.
In manual gearbox vehicles, the Eco profile
causes the gear change recommendation in-
dications that appear on the dash panel to
vary, facilitating more efficient driving.
Address
The power steering varies its driving modes
and adapts to the profile selected, thus offer-
ing the best behaviour for each situation.
Air conditioning
In vehicles with Climatronic, this can operate
in eco mode, especially restricting fuel con-
sumption. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
The acceleration and br
aking gradient of the
adaptive cruise control varies according to
the active driving profile

Depending on the fuel, the diff

ent symbol

s
are on the pump and the tank lid of your vehi-
cle. The identification serves to prevent con-
fusion when choosing the fuel.
Petrol with ethanol (“E” stands for Etha-
nol). The number indicates the percent-
age of ethanol in the petrol. “E5” means,
for example, an ethanol ratio of 5% max.
Diesel with biodiesel (“B” stands for Bio-
diesel). The number indicates the per-
1 2 centage of biodiesel in the diesel. “B7”
means, f
or e
x

ample, a proportion of bio-
diesel of max. 7%.
Natural gas: “CNG” means Compressed
Natural Gas.
Type of petrol  Applies to vehicles: with petrol engine
The corr ect gr

ade of petrol is listed inside the
fuel tank flap.
The vehicle is equipped with a catalytic con-
verter and must only be run on unleaded
petrol. The petrol must comply with the
standard EN 228 and be sulphur-free. Fuels
with a 10% ethanol ratio can be refuelled
(E10) 2)
. The types of petrol are differentiated
by using the octane numbers (RON) or via
the anti-knock index (AKI).
The following pieces of text show the infor-
mation included in the corresponding stickers
on the tank lid (examples): 3 Super unleaded petrol 95 octane petrol or
normal 91 oct
ane petr
ol at l

east
We recommend refuelling with super 95 oc-
tane petrol (91 AKI). If not available: normal 91
octane petrol (87 AKI) (with a slight power
loss).
Super unleaded petrol, 95 octanes at
least
You should use super 95 octane petrol (91
AKI) at least.
If super is not available, if necessary, use nor-
mal 91 octane petrol (87 AKI). In this case only
use moderate engine speeds and a light
throttle. Refuel with super as soon as possi-
ble.
Unleaded super plus 98 octane petrol or
super 95 octane petrol at least
We recommend refuelling with super plus 98
octane petrol (93 AKI). If not available: super
95 octane petrol (91 AKI) (with a slight power
loss).
If super is not available, if necessary, use nor-
mal 91 octane petrol (87 AKI). In this case only
use moderate engine speeds and a light
