Engine
Depending on the profile selected, the engine
responds more quickly or smoothly to the ac-
celerator being pressed. When Eco mode 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. Eco mode activates the Inertia function, thereby
reducing consumption. The rest of the driving
modes will activate the inertia use function
when the selector lever is not in the S posi-
tion, depending on how the accelerator ped- al is released

The desired mode can be selected as follows:

Economical and environmentally
friendly driving Fuel consumption, environmental pollution
and wear to the engine, br
ak
es and tyres all
depend largely on driving style. Consumption
can be reduced between 10-15% with an effi-
cient driving type. The following section gives
you some tips on lessening the impact on the
environment and reducing your operating
costs at the same time.

e wear and impairs handling.
Do not use winter tyres all year round as
they increase fuel consumption by up to 10%.
Avoid carrying unnecessary loads
Given that every kilo of extra weight will in-
crease the fuel consumption, it is advisable
make sure that no unnecessary loads are be-
ing transported.
Since the luggage rack increases the aero-
dynamic drag of the vehicle, you should re-
move it when not needed. At speeds of
100-120 km/h (62-75 mph), this will save 12%
of fuel.
Save electrical energy
The engine drives the alternator, thereby
generating electricity. This implies that any
increase in power consumption also increa-
ses fuel consumption! For this reason, switch
off any unneeded electrical devices. Devices
that use a lot of electricity includes the blow-
er at a high setting, the rear window heating
or the seat heating*

Driver assistance systems
SEAT importers and distributors will provide
inf ormation about the t

that your v
ehicle requires and also about
necessary maintenance and repair possibili-
ties. CAUTION
SEAT does not accept liability for any dam-
age to the vehicle due t o the use of a l

Changing gear in CCS mode
The CCS decelerates as soon as the clutch
pedal is pressed, intervening again automati-

Travelling down hills with the CCS
If the CCS cannot maintain a constant vehi-
cle speed downhill, brake and change down
a gear if necessary. The GRA is temporarily
disabled by pressing the brake.
