Driving
Steering Inf ormation r
elating to different ve-
hicle processes. Electro-mechanical power steering adapts
el
ectr

onically to the speed of the car, torque
and steering angle.
Even if the power steering fails or the engine
is stopped, it is possible to continue to rotate
the steering wheel as long as the key remains
in the ignition, but more force must be ap-
plied.
Progressive steering
Depending on the vehicle’s features, it may or
may not incorporate a progressive steering
system.
In city traffic you do not need to turn so much
on parking, manoeuvring or in very tight turns.
On the road or on the motorway, progressive
steering transmits, for example, in bends, a
sportier, more direct and noticeably more dy-
namic driving sensation. Control lamp v

If the warning light does not come on again after re-
starting the engine and driving a short distance, it is
not necessary to check the steering.

urn off the ignition and turn it on again. Consider the
messages shown on the instrument panel display.
Do not continue driving if the steering column re-
mains locked after switching on the ignition. Seek
specialist assistance. The control lamp should light up for a few
seconds when the ignition is s
wit

ched on. It
should go out once the engine is started. WARNING
Never ignore the warning lamps or messag-
es.

Start and driving
Description Depending on the equipment fitted in the ve-
hicl
e
, SEAT Drive Profile can operate on the
following functions:
Engine
Depending on the profile 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 acti-
vated.
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 234
. 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)*
The DCC continuously adapts the damping
of the suspension system to the characteris-
tics of the road surface and the driving situa-
tion (speed, acceleration and steering wheel angle) according to the selected driving pro-
fil
e

. The vehicle's dynamic behaviour is also
adapted to improve grip on curves and turn-
ing capacity. Within the Individual profile you
can also adjust the DCC level in a custom-
ised manner.
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 power 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.
PreCrash system
The PreCrash system adapts according to
the selected configuration. The Sport driving
profile has specific settings to adapt to driv-
ing characteristics ››› page 24
. Setting the driving profile There are several ways to select a driving
pr
ofil

e using the infotainment system:

Driver assistance systems
Limitations
This syst em does not r
eact to objects that
cross transversely or to animals. The basic
limitations of the Front Assist must also be
taken into account ››› page 251
.
Turn assist Turn assist can avoid a collision with a vehicle
appr
oaching in the opposit

e direction, by
braking the vehicle itself when the intention is
to turn.
This system is active up to 15 km/h (9 mph).
Limitations
The turn-off assist function is available if you
have indicated your intention to turn by acti-
vating the turn signal, you have turned the
steering wheel and the turning path has star-
ted.
It only reacts to vehicles that are in the path
of the vehicle (not to animals, people, etc.).
The basic limitations of the Front Assist must
also be taken into account ››› page 251

-calibration indication. Front Assist has certain limitations inherent to
the syst
em. Thus, in cert

ain circumstances,
some of the reactions may be inappropriate
from the driver's standpoint. So pay attention
in order to intervene if necessary.
The following conditions may cause the
Front Assist not to react or to do so too
late:

instrument cluster for a few seconds. You can
e xt
end or reactivate this warning by pressing
the button  or, depending on your vehicle’s
equipment, by grabbing the steering wheel.
During this time, the vehicle will move off
again if the vehicle in front moves forwards.
To move off when the message ACC ready
to start is not longer displayed, once the
vehicle in front has moved off:

Driver assistance systems
Lane Assist* Intr oduction The Lane Assist System helps the driver
st
ay in his/her l
ane within the physical lim-
its of the system. This function is not suita-
ble and is not designed to keep the vehicle
automatically in the lane.
Using the camera located in the windscreen,
the Lane Assist system detects the limits (lane
lines) dividing the lanes in which the vehicle is
travelling. If the vehicle gets too close to the
detected lane limits, the system alerts the
driver through a corrective motion of the
steering wheel. The driver can cancel the
steering corrective action at any time.
No warning is produced with the turn signals
activated, given that the Lane Assist system
understands that a lane change is required.
System limits
Use the Lane Assist system only on large,
well-maintained motorways and highways.
The system is not available under the follow-
ing conditions:

Driving
the driver take control of the vehicle. To do
this, it emits optical and acoustic w arnings
and causes br
aking jolts. The seat belt is
tightened (depending on the equipment). The
system slows down the vehicle and keeps it in
its lane.
You can cancel the adjustment at any time
by moving the steering wheel, over-acceler-
ating or braking.
While the emergency assistant is in operation,
other road users are warned as follows:

Wheels
Driving style
F ast cornering, heavy accel
eration and hard
braking (squealing tyres) all increase tyre
wear.
Wheel balance
The wheels on new vehicles are balanced.
However, certain circumstances may lead to
imbalance (run-out), which is detected as vi-
brations in the steering wheel.
Unbalanced wheels should be rebalanced,
as they otherwise cause excessive wear on
steering, suspension and tyres. A wheel must
also be rebalanced when a new tyre is fitted
or if a tyre is repaired.
Incorrect wheel alignment
Incorrect running gear alignment causes ex-
cessive tyre wear, impairing the safety of the
vehicle. If you notice excessive tyre wear, you
should check wheel alignment at a SEAT Of-
ficial Service. WARNING
Unsuitable handling of the wheels and
t yr

es may lead to sudden tyre pressure los-
ses, to tread separation or even to a blow-
out.
