Start and driving
Description
Depending on the equipment fitted in the ve-
hicle, SEAT Driv
e Profile can operate on the
following functions:
Engine
Depending on the profile selected, the engine
responds more quickly or smoothly to the ac-
celerator being pressed. When Eco mode is
selected, the Start-stop function is activated.
In vehicles with automatic transmission, the
gear change timing is changed to put the
changes at higher or lower revolutions. Eco
mode activates the Inertia function, thereby
reducing consumption. The rest of the driving
modes will activate the inertia use function
when the selector lever is not in the S posi-
tion, depending on how the accelerator ped-
al is released

page 212. When the vehicle
is turned on again, the function is activated
by default to reduce consumption.
With manual transmission, the Eco mode
changes the gear change recommendations
to facilitate more efficient driving.
Dynamic chassis control (DCC)*
DCC continuously adapts the shock absorb-
ers to the condition of the road, the driving sit-
uation and the selected driving mode. Within
the Individual profile you can also adjust the
DCC level in a customised manner.
In the event of a fault in the DCC, the follow-
ing message is displayed on the instrument
screen
Fault: shock absorber regula-
tion
Steering
Power steering becomes more robust in
Sport mode to enable a sportier driving style.
Air conditioning
Climatronic can operate in Eco mode, espe-
cially restricting fuel consumption.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
Depending on the driving profile, the perform-
ance of the ACC varies, to allow more sporty
acceleration and braking or a more respect-
ful fuel consumption.
Chassis
It adapts the dynamic performance of the ve-
hicle, improving corner traction and its turning
capacity based on the chosen driving profile.
The setting will appear on models without
DCC, you can select between Normal and
Sport.
