tional. WARNING

Driving
Electronic differential lock (EDS)* The EDL operates along with the ABS in vehi-
cles equipped with El
ectr
onic Stability Con-
trol (ESC)*.
EDL helps the vehicle to start moving, accel-
erate and climb a gradient in slippery condi-
tions where this may otherwise be difficult or
even impossible.
It uses the ABS sensors to monitor the speed
of the driven wheels.
At speeds of up to approximately 80 km/h
(50 mph), it is able to balance out differences
in the speed of the driven wheels of approxi-
mately 100 rpm/min caused by a partially
slippery road surface. It does this by braking
the wheel which has lost traction and distrib-
uting more driving force to the other driven
wheel via the differential.
To prevent the disc brake of the braking
wheel from overheating, the EDL cuts out au-
tomatically if subjected to excessive loads.
The vehicle will continue to function normally
without EDL. For this reason, the driver is not
informed that the EDL has been switched off.
The EDL will switch on again automatically
when the brake has cooled down. Control lamp
A malfunction in the EDL is indicated by the

delayed until the engine reaches maximum
rpm. WARNING
Please note that if the road surface is slip-
pery or wet, the kick -do

wn feature could
cause the driving wheels to spin, which
could result in skidding. Launch control program
 Valid f

erating temperature and the steering wheel
must not be turned.
The engine speed for launch-control is differ-
ent on petrol and diesel engines. To use the

When the Fr

are the advance warning function (pre warn-

SEAT recommends leaving the Front Assist al-
ways switched on. Exceptions

Driver assistance systems
If the vehicle is equipped with automatic
gearbo x, the ACC can br
ak
e the vehicle until
it stops completely if a vehicle in front of it
stops.
The distance programmed should be in-
creased when the road surface is wet.
Driver intervention prompt
During driving, the ACC is subject to certain
limitations inherent in the system. In other
words, in certain circumstances the driver will
have to adjust speed him or herself, as well as
the distance from other vehicles.
In this case, the instrument panel screen will
warn you to intervene by applying the brake
and a warning tone will be heard

The approximate measurement range of the
sensors is: 1.20 m

0.60 m
As you approach the obstacle, the time inter-
val between the audible warnings will be re-
duced. When you reach around 0.30 m the
warning will be constant: do not continue to
move forward (or backward)!
If you maintain separation from the obstacle,
the volume of the warning begins to reduce
after four seconds (does not affect the tone
of the constant warning).

Rear parking aid* Description The rear parking aid is an audible assistant
that w
arns of obst
acles located behind the
vehicle.
There are sensors integrated in the rear
bumper. When the sensors detect an obsta-
cle, you are alerted by audible warnings.
Make particularly sure that the sensors are
not covered by adhesives, residues, dirt and
the like, as this could affect the system
