Seat Tarraco 2019 Owner's manual

Start and driving
The assistant attempts to maintain the speed
at which the v ehicl
e was tr
avelling when the
br ak
e was applied, within logical limits. It may
be necessary to correct the speed by press-
ing the brake.
The assistant can only change down as far
as 3rd gear. It is possible that on very steep
slopes you have to switch to tiptronic mode
and change down to 2nd or 1st gear to take
advantage of engine braking and take the
load off the brake system.
Downhill speed control is deactivated as
soon as the road levels out again or you press
the accelerator pedal.
