air suspension Seat Leon 2020 Owner's manual

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:

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.
