With the aut omatic air r
ecirculation mode ac-
tivated, the entry of fresh air into the cabin in-
terior is enabled. If the system detects a high
concentration of hazardous substances in the
ambient air, air recirculation mode is switched
on automatically. When the level of impurities
drops to within a normal range, recirculation
mode is switched off.
The system is unable to detect unpleasant
smells.
The air recirculation will not connect auto-
matically in versions without humidity sensor
and in the following external conditions:

Driving
Description Depending on the equipment fitted in the ve-
hicle
, SEAT Driv
e Profile can operate on the
following functions:
Engine
Depending on the profile selected, the engine
responds more spontaneously or more in har-
mony with the movements of the accelerator.
Additionally, when Eco mode is selected, the
Start-stop function is automatically activa-
ted.
In vehicles with automatic transmission, the
gear change points are modified to position
them in lower or higher engine speed ranges.
Additionally, the Eco 1)
mode activates the In-
ertia function, enabling consumption to be
further reduced.
In manual gearbox vehicles, Eco 1)
mode cau-
ses the gear change recommendation indi-
cations that appear on the instrument panel
to vary, facilitating 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
progr
amme

.
In the event of a fault in the DCC, the follow-
ing message is displayed on the instrument
screen Fault: shock absorber regula-
tion
Address
Power steering becomes more robust in
Sport mode to enable a sportier driving style.
In the Leon Cupra the power steering be-
comes more robust in Cupra mode.
Air conditioning
In vehicles with Climatronic, this can operate
in eco 1)
mode, especially restricting fuel con-
sumption.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) 2)
The acceleration and braking gradient of the
adaptive cruise control varies according to
the active driving profile
