Seat Leon 5D - Manual Gearbox

Start and driving
Pressing this symbol selects a higher
theoretical charge level. The vehicle
tries to reach that new theoretical high-
voltage battery charge level while driv-
ing. The vehicle is powered by the com-
bustion engine. If the combustion engine
has “excess” power, it is used to charge
the high-voltage battery. This option in-
creases fuel consumption. SEAT there-
fore recommends using the charging
socket to charge the high-voltage bat-
tery, whenever possible

page 306 .
The current charge level of the high-
voltage battery is maintained while driv-
ing. If you accelerate harder or increase
the vehicle speed, the combustion en-
gine starts up. When permitted by the
driver’s demand for acceleration and the
vehicle speed, the vehicle switches back
to electric mode.
Pressing this symbol selects a lower the-
oretical charge level. The vehicle only
uses the battery's charge when it is
above the selected theoretical charge
level. The rest is kept until the end of the
journey.
The Intelligent Hybrid App allows the user to
save electrical energy until reaching home
(charging point) with just “one click”. If this
option is not selected, the maximum amount
of electrical energy will be consumed until
the selected destination is reached. If the


user has no active route, the function will offer
the activation of a predictive route and BMA
mode from the widget itself with just one
click.
Show the active operating mode
The operating mode active at any given time
is displayed on the instrument cluster display,
e.g.

.
WARNING
Switching to a different operating mode
while driving can distract you from traffic
conditions and cause accidents.
Note
Information about the operating mode that
is currently active is displayed on the in-
strument cluster display, along with the
charge level of the high-voltage battery.
Troubleshooting

The E-MODE operating mode is not
available
The indicator lamp lights up in white.
The E-MODE operating mode

(driving in
electric mode) cannot be used temporarily
because one or more conditions are not met.
●
The conditions must be met to use the E-
MODE operating mode
