Operation
Inspection of compressed natural gas
t anks (CNG) r
eminder
When l
ess than 90 days for the review of the
compressed natural gas tanks (CNG), when
the ignition is switched on, the instrument
panel display will a reminder for review of
the gas tanks and an audible warning will be
emitted.
As approaches the service date of inspection
of the gas tanks, the message and the audi-
ble warning will stop modify accordingly.
Check a service warning
With the ignition switched on, the engine off
and the vehicle at a standstill, the current
service notification can be read:
Check the date of the current service on the
infotainment system

cause injuries.
CAUTION
If the engine has been running under high
l oad f or a l
ong time, there is a risk of heat
building up in the engine compartment af-
ter it has been switched off; this could
cause engine damage. For this reason, you
should idle the engine for approximately 2
minutes before you switch it off. Note

Switching on/off the ESC and ASR Fig. 257
Centre console: Button for switching
on/off the ESC and ASR The ESC is switched on automatically when
the engine is st
art
ed, and only w
orks when
the engine is running and includes the ABS,
EDS and ASR systems.
The ASR and ESC function should only be
switched off in situations in which traction is
insufficient, among others:

Driving
Kick-down feature The kick-down feature allows maximum ac-
celer
ation t
o be reached.
When the accelerator pedal is pressed right
down past the point of resistance at full throt-
tle, the gearbox will shift down to a lower
gear, depending on road speed and engine
speed. The upshift to the next higher gear is
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
or vehicles: with Launch-Control/6-
Speed DSG with diesel engines superior t
o 125
kW and petrol engines superior to 140 kW.
The Launch control programme enables
maximum acceleration. Condition: the engine must have reached op-
erating t
emper

ature 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
launch-control you must disconnect the anti-
slip regulation (ASR) through the Easy Con-
nect system menu

Start and driving
During its first few hours of running, the inter-
nal friction in the engine is gr eat
er than l
ater
on when all the moving parts have bedded
down.
How the vehicle is driven for the first 1,500 km
influences the future engine performance.
Subsequently, also drive at a moderate rate,
especially when the engine is still cold: this
will lead to less engine wear and tear and will
prolong its useful life.
You should also avoid driving with the engine
speed too low. Change down to a lower gear
when the engine no longer runs “smoothly”. If
the engine revs too much, cut fuel injection to
protect the engine.
Environmental compatibility Environmental protection is a top priority in
the design, choice of mat
erial

ac-
ture of your new SEAT.
Constructive measures to encourage re-
cycling

Driving
Foresight when driving
Accel er
ation causes the v
ehicle to consume
more fuel. If you think ahead when driving,
you will need to brake less and thus acceler-
ate less. Wherever possible, let the car roll
slowly to a stop, with a gear engaged (for in-
stance when you can see that the next traffic
lights are red). This takes advantage of the
engine braking effect, reducing wear on the
brakes and tyres. Emissions and fuel con-
sumption will drop to zero due to the overrun
fuel cut-off.
Changing gear to save energy
An effective way of saving is to change in ad-
vance to a higher gear. Running the engine at
high rpm in the lower gears uses an unneces-
sary amount of fuel.
Manual transmission: shift up from first to
second gear as soon as possible. In any case,
we recommend that you change to a higher
gear upon reaching 2,000 rpm. Choosing the
right gear enables fuel savings. Select the
highest possible gear appropriate for the
driving situation (the engine should continue
functioning with cyclical regularity).
Automatic transmission: accelerate gradu-
ally and without reaching the “kick-down”
position. Avoid driving at high speed
Avoid trav
elling at top speed, whenever pos-
sible. Fuel consumption, emission of harmful
gases and noise pollution multiply dispropor-
tionately as speed is increased. Driving at
moderate speeds will help to save fuel.
Reduce idling time
In vehicles with the Start-Stop system idling is
automatically reduced. In vehicles without
the Start-Stop system it is worth switching off
the engine, for example, at level crossings
and at traffic lights that remain red for long
periods of time. When an engine has reached
operating temperature, and depending on
the cylinder capacity, keeping it switched off
for a minimum of about 5 seconds already
saves more than the amount of fuel necessa-
ry for restarting.
The engine takes a long time to warm up
when it is idling. Mechanical wear and pollu-
tant emissions are also especially high during
this initial warm-up phase. It is therefore best
to drive off immediately after starting the en-
gine. Avoid running the engine at high speed.
Regular maintenance
Regular servicing helps in saving fuel even
before the engine is started. A well-serviced
engine gives you the benefit of improved fuel
efficiency as well as maximum reliability and
an enhanced resale value. A badly serviced engine can consume up to 10% more fuel
than necessary.
Avoid short journeys
The engine and cat
alytic converter need to
reach their optimal operating temperature
in order to minimise fuel consumption and
emissions.
A cold engine consumes a disproportionate
amount of fuel. The engine reaches its work-
ing temperature after about four kilometres
(2.5 miles), when fuel consumption will return
to a normal level.
Check tyre pressure
Always make sure the tyres are inflated to the
correct pressures
