Seat LEON 2024 - Changing Gear in Tiptronic Mode

178
Driving
●
With lever in any position, the foot brake
must be depressed whenever 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.
●
If the power supply is interrupted while the
P parking lock is active, it will not be possible
to move the lever. If this should happen the
manual release can be used. In this case, you
should seek professional assistance.
Note
●
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.

Tiptronic gives the driver the option to change
gears manually.
When you change to the Tiptronic programme,
the vehicle remains in the currently selected
gear. This is possible as long as the system is
not changing gear automatically due to a traf-
fic situation.

When accelerating, if a higher gear is
not selected, it will automatically change
shortly before reaching the maximum per-
mitted RPM.
●
Also, if a lower gear is selected, the system
will not change until it detects that the en-
gine will not reach its maximum RPM.
