Note
●
When the v
ehicle is switched off it will al-
ways store the driving profile that was selec-
ted when the ignition key was removed, ex-
cept in the following cases:
–
When the vehicle is restarted after using
the Sport profile, the engine and the
gearbox will not restart in the sportiest
setting so as to reduce fuel consumption.
To return the engine and the gearbox to
their sportiest position, select the Sport
driving profile again.
–
When the vehicle is restarted after using
the Offroad or Snow settings, the sys-
tem is always activated in the Normal
profile.
●
Your s
peed and driving style must always
be adjusted to visibility, weather, and traffic
conditions.
●
The Eco profile is not recommended when
towing a vehicle.
Kick-down
The Kick-down feature allows maximum ac-
cel
eration to be reached.
If the Eco* profile has been selected in the
SEAT Drive Profile ››› page 226 and the
accelerator is pressed beyond a hard point,
the engine power is automatically controlled
to give your vehicle maximum acceleration.
WARNING
Please note that if the road surface is slip-
pery
or wet, the kick-down feature could
cause the driving wheels to spin, which could
result in skidding.
