Driving
Brake blending 1)
The br ak
e energy recuperation can generate
a braking effect. This braking effect depends
on the selected driving programme and the
level of charge of the high-voltage battery.
If the braking effect caused by the recupera-
tion is very intense, the vehicle’s brake lights
with turn on. The electric engine, when oper-
ating as an alternator, can generate braking
torque on the front wheels based on the RPM
and the temperature and charge level of the
high-voltage battery.
These variable parameters cause fluctuating
electric decelerations which are hydraulical-
ly compensated according to the driver’s de-
sires. This function is called “brake blending”
and it combines mechanical braking with the
engine brake effect. WARNING
Driving at high speed on icy, slippery wet
gr ound can r

esult in loss of vehicle control
and serious injury to the driver and passen-
gers.

Help with parking and manoeuvring
Determine the length of the trailer's draw-
bar
In or der f
or the trailer manoeuvre assistant to
determine the length of the trailer’s drawbar,
drive the vehicle-trailer set through some
turning manoeuvres or curves. The more pre-
cisely the length of the drawbar is deter-
mined, the wider the angles that will be avail-
able when manoeuvring. The assistant subdi-
vides the maximum available end stops of the
angle indicator into four levels: approx. 30°,
45°, 60° and 75°. Note
For technical reasons, the trailer manoeu-
vr e assist

ant cannot always correctly de-
tect trailers with LED technology taillights. Operating

Driving
Technical requirements Vehicles that are f
act ory-mounted with a
towing device meet all the technical and le-
gal requirements for driving with a trailer
››› page 313.
If the vehicle is retrofitted with a towing
bracket, only a bracket that is authorised for
the maximum authorised load of the trailer
that is to be towed may be fitted. The towing
bracket must be suitable for the vehicle and
the trailer and must be properly secured to
the vehicle's chassis. Only use a towing
bracket that has been authorised by SEAT for
this vehicle. Always check and take into ac-
count the towing bracket manufacturer's in-
structions.
Towing bracket fitted on the bumper
Never fit a towing bracket to the bumper or to
the area where the bumper is mounted. The
towing bracket should not impair the bum-
per's function. Do not make modifications or
repairs to the exhaust system or the brake
system. Make regular checks to ensure that
the towing bracket is secure.
Engine cooling system
Driving with a trailer increases the load on the
engine and cooling system. The cooling sys-
tem should have sufficient coolant and be
prepared for the additional effort involved in
driving with a trailer. Trailer brakes
If the tr
ail

er has its own brake system, please
take the relevant legal requirements into ac-
count. Never connect the trailer's brake sys-
tem to the vehicle's brake system.
Tow cable
Always use a cable between the vehicle and
the trailer ››› page 309
.
Trailer tail lights
The trailer's rear lights should comply with
the statutory safety regulations ››› page 309
.
Never connect the trailer's rear lights directly
to the vehicle's electric system. If you are not
sure that the trailer's electrical connection is
correct, have it checked by a specialised
workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT
dealership for this.
Exterior mirrors
If you cannot see the area behind the trailer
with the exterior mirrors of the towing vehicle,
additional mirrors will have to be installed in
accordance with the regulations of the coun-
try in question. The exterior mirrors should be
adjusted before you start driving and must
provide a sufficient field of vision at the rear.
Trailer maximum electricity consumption
Never exceed the values indicated! Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and Central
America Brake lights (total)

Checking and refilling levels
If the local mains supply does not allow
char ging at the maximum char
ging current,
the charging current can be reduced, de-
pending on the charging setting features in
the infotainment system ››› page 319
.
Temperature control
The charging cable temperature control
switches on when the charging cable over-
heats, such as when it has been stored in a
luggage compartment exposed to high tem-
peratures or strong sunlight.
When the charging process is interrupted,
the status indicator that is lit up at the time
switches off and one of the indicator lamps
starts slowly flashing green. Warning lamp 4starts slowly flashing red.

Practical tips
Super unleaded petrol 95 octane petrol or
normal 91 oct ane petr
ol at least
We recommend refuelling with super 95 oc-
tane petrol (91 AKI). If not available, normal 91
octane petrol (87 AKI) (with a slight power
loss) may be used.
Super unleaded petrol, 95 octanes at
least
You should use super 95 octane petrol (91
AKI) at least.
If super is not available, if necessary, use nor-
mal 91 octane petrol (87 AKI). In this case only
use moderate engine speeds and a light
throttle. Refuel with super as soon as possi-
ble.
Unleaded super plus 98 octane petrol or
super 95 octane petrol at least
We recommend refuelling with super plus 98
octane petrol (93 AKI). If not available: super
95 octane petrol (91 AKI) (with a slight power
loss).
If super is not available, if necessary, use nor-
mal 91 octane petrol (87 AKI). In this case only
use moderate engine speeds and a light
throttle. Refuel with super as soon as possi-
ble. CAUTION

Checking the brake fluid level
The brake fluid level must be between the 
and  markings.
However, if the brake fluid level goes down
noticeably in a short time, or drops below the mark, there may be a leak in the brake system. Seek specialist assistance. A warning
light on the instrument panel display monitors
the brake fluid level ››› page 84
.
In right-hand drive vehicles the brake fluid
reservoir is on the other side of the engine
compartment. Changing brake fluid
We r

ecommend that you have the brake fluid
changed by a Technical Service. WARNING
If the brake fluid level is low or unsuita-
bl e/ol

d brake fluid is used, the brake sys-
tem may fail or braking power may be re-
duced.
