Start-Stop system: Fault! Function
not available
There is a fault in the Start-Stop system. Take
the vehicle to a workshop to have the fault re-
paired. Description and operation The Start-Stop system helps save fuel and
reduce CO
2 emissions.
In St art

-Stop mode, the engine will automati-
cally switch off when the vehicle stops or is
stopping; for example when stopping at traf-
fic lights. The ignition remains switched on
during the stopping phase. The engine auto-
matically switches back on when required. In
this situation, the light of the START ENGINE STOP button stays on.
As soon as the ignition is swit ched on, the
St

art-Stop function is automatically activa-
ted.
Further information about the Start-Stop sys-
tem can be found on the Easy Connect sys-
tem: by pressing the button  in the Vehicle
status menu.

Driver assistance systems
Overtaking
When the t urn signal lights up bef
or
e the ve-
hicle begins an overtaking manoeuvre, the
ACC accelerates the vehicle automatically
and thus reduces the distance from the vehi-
cle in front.
When the vehicle enters the overtaking lane,
if the ACC does not detect another vehicle in
front, it accelerates until it reaches the pro-
grammed speed and maintains it.
System acceleration can be interrupted at
any time by pressing the brake or moving the
third lever backwards

Driving
Trailer mode
When driving with tr ail
er the ACC contr
ols
less dynamically.
Overheated brakes
If the brakes overheat, for example after
abrupt braking or in long and steep slopes,
the ACC may be deactivated temporarily.
The relevant text message will appear in the
dash panel display. In this case, adaptive
cruise control cannot be activated.
Adaptive Cruise Control can be reactivated
once brake temperature has cooled suffi-
ciently. The message will disappear from the
instrument panel display. If the message ACC
not available remains on for quite a long
time it means that there is a fault. Contact a
specialised workshop. SEAT recommends vis-
iting a SEAT dealership. WARNING
If you do not heed the Press the brake
message, the v ehicl

e may initiate an invol-
untary movement and could crash into the
vehicle ahead. In any event, before driving
off, check that the road is clear. The radar
sensor may not detect obstacles on the
road. This could cause an accident and se-
rious injuries. If necessary, apply the brake. Lane Assist system*

a. Using the camera located in the windscreen,
the L
ane Assist syst
em det

ects the possible
lines dividing the lanes. When the vehicle in-
voluntarily approaches a dividing line it has
detected, the system notifies the driver with a
corrective steering movement. The purpose is
not only to warn the driver, but also to keep
the vehicle inside the lane. This movement
can be over-regulated 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.
As soon as the ignition is switched on, the
lane departure function is automatically acti-
vated. Control lamp "

The v
ehicl
e is fitt
ed with a 13-pole power
socket for the electrical connection between
the trailer and the vehicle. With the engine
running, electrical devices on the trailer re-
ceive power from the electrical connection
(pin 9 and pin 10 of the trailer power socket).
If the system detects that a trailer has been
connected electrically, the electrical equip-
ment on the trailer will receive voltage
through this connection (pins 9 and 10). Pin 9
has a permanent live. This powers, for exam-
ple, the trailer
