Instruments and warning/control lamps
In vehicles with multifunction steering wheel,
the multifunction displ ay can only be
oper at
ed with the steering wheel buttons.
Some menu options can only be read when
the vehicle is at a standstill. WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead
to an accident and cause injuries.

er
It is possible to change to tiptronic mode,
both when the vehicle is stopped and while
driving.

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

Driving
In cit y traffic you do not need to turn so much
on parking, manoeuvring or in v ery tight t
urns.
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.
Power-assisted steering
Power-assisted steering helps the driver in
critical situations. It recommends the rotation
direction of the steering wheel to perform a
corrective manoeuvre (counter-steering),
thereby causing a small turn of the wheel in
the correct direction to avoid skidding

Practical tips
Do not forget the spare wheel when checking
the t yr
e pr
essures: Keep this spare wheel in-
flated to the highest pressure required for the
road wheels.
In the case of a minimised temporary spare
wheel (125/70 R16 or 125/70 R18) inflate to a
pressure of 4.2 bar as indicated on the tyre
pressure label on the fuel tank flap.
Driving style
Fast cornering, heavy acceleration 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
