Seat ATECA 2024 - Changing Gear in Tiptronic Mode

142
Driving
When stationary, apply foot brake while se-
lecting a gear.
The lever is not locked if it is moved quickly
through position N (e.g. when shifting from R to
D). This means, for example, that a stuck vehicle
can be assisted by “swinging it”. The lever lock
engages automatically if the brake pedal is not
pressed and the lever is in position N for more
than about one second at a speed of less than
5 km/h (3mph).
WARNING
●
Take care not to press the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is stopped. The vehi-
cle could start moving immediately (in some
cases even if the parking brake is engaged)
resulting in the risk of an accident.
●
Never move the lever to R or P when driving.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in an accident or failure.
●
With the lever in any position (except P),
the foot brake must be pushed down when-
ever the engine is running. This is because an
automatic gearbox still transmits power even
at idling speed.
●
Do not accelerate while selecting a gear,
with the car stationary and the engine run-
ning. Failure to follow this instruction could
result in an accident.
●
The driver must never leave the vehicle
while the engine is running and with a gear
engaged. Switch on the electronic parking
brake and select the parking lock (P).
Note
●
If the lever is moved accidentally to N when
driving, release the accelerator and let the
engine speed drop to idling before selecting
gear range D or S again.
●
Should the power supply to the lever be in-
terrupted in positionP, it will not be possible
to move the lever. If this should happen the
manual release can be used ›››page146.
Note
●
If the lever lock does not engage, there is a
fault. The transmission is interrupted to pre-
vent the vehicle from moving accidentally.
Follow the procedure below in order for the
lever lock to engage again:
–
With 6-speed gearbox: depress and re-
lease the brake pedal.
–
With 7-speed gearbox: depress the brake
pedal. Move the lever to positionP orN and
subsequently engage a gear.
●
If a gear has been selected, the vehicle
does not move forwards or back. Proceed to
the next mode:
–
If the vehicle does not move in the de-
sired direction, the gear ratio may not be
correctly engaged by the system. Depress
the brake pedal and reselect the gear
range.
–
If the vehicle still does not move in the
desired direction, there is a system failure.
Seek specialist help and have the system
checked.
