Steering
On vehicles with electromechanical steering,
the power steering automatically adjusts ac-
cording to the driving speed, the steering wheel
torque and the orientation of the wheels. The
power steering only works when the engine is
running.
If the power steering does not work properly or
does not work at all, you will have to use much
more strength than usual to turn the steering
wheel.
Progressive steering
Depending on the vehicle’s features, it may or
may not incorporate a progressive steering sys-
tem.
In city trac you do not need to turn so much
on parking, manoeuvring or in very tight turns.
On roads or motorway, progressive steering
transmits, for example, in bends, a sportier,
more direct and noticeably more dynamic driv-
ing sensation.
Steering assist
This help assists the driver in critical situations. It
recommends turning the steering wheel to per-
form a corrective manoeuvre (counter-steer-
ing), turning slightly to avoid skidding ››› .
WARNING
Steering assist helps the driver in critical sit-
uations. The driver is the person who has to
control the vehicle's steering at all times.

SEAT Drive Profiles
Introduction
The driver can use the drive profiles to adapt
various features of the vehicle's systems to
the current driving situation, the desired driving
comfort and an economical driving style. Some
of the systems that can be adapted are the
suspension, steering, engine and air condition-
ing.
Depending on the vehicle’s equipment, various
drive profiles can be selected. The degree of in-
fluence of the vehicle's systems on the dierent
drive profiles depends on the vehicle’s equip-
ment.
Engine
Depending on the profile selected, the engine
responds more quickly or smoothly to the ac-
celerator being pressed.
In vehicles with automatic transmission, the
gear change timing is changed to put the
changes at higher or lower revolutions. The Eco
profile activates the Inertia function, thereby
reducing consumption. The rest of the driving
