axles. Under normal circumstances it pre-
vents the rear part of the vehicle from skid-
ding due to excessive braking of the rear
wheels. The function of the electronic brake
pressure distribution is incorporated in the
ABS function.

Electromechanical brake servo (eBKV)

With the ignition switched on, the electrome-
chanical brake servo supports the force of
the foot by increasing the pressure that the
driver exerts on the brake pedal. After discon-
necting the ignition, the assistance of the
brake servo is progressively reduced. Once
stopped, immobilise the vehicle to prevent it
from moving

›››

page 154

If the electromechanical brake servo does
not work, the yellow control lamps



and



on the instrument panel display light up at
the same time. When braking with the faulty
electromechanical brake servo, vibration of
the brake pedal may occur.

If the electromechanical brake servo is not
working, the brake pedal must be pressed
harder, as the braking distance increases due
to the lack of assistance from the servo brake.

Brake blending

The brake energy recuperation can generate
a braking effect

›››

page 134

. This braking ef-

fect depends on the selected driving pro-
gramme and the level of charge of the high-

voltage battery. If the braking effect caused
by the recuperation is very intense, the vehi-
cle’s brake lights with turn on. The electric en-
gine, when operating as an alternator, can
generate braking torque on the front wheels
based on the RPM and the temperature and
charge level of the high-voltage battery.

These variable parameters cause fluctuating
electric decelerations which are hydraulical-
ly compensated according to the driver’s de-
sires. This function is called “brake blending”
and it combines mechanical braking with the
engine brake effect.

WARNING

Driving at high speed on icy, slippery wet
ground can result in loss of vehicle control
and serious injury to the driver and passen-
gers.

●

The ESC, ABS, ASR, EDS or HBA systems

are neither in conditions to exceed the lim-
its established by the laws of physics. Al-
ways bear this in mind, especially on wet or
slippery roads. If you notice the systems
cutting in, you should reduce your speed
immediately to suit the road and traffic
conditions. Do not be encouraged to take
risks by the presence of more safety sys-
tems. If you do, an accident may occur.

●

Please remember that the accident risk

always increases if you drive fast, espe-
cially in corners or on a slippery road, or if
you follow too close behind the vehicle in
front of you. The ESC, ABS, ASR, EDS or HBA

system cannot prevent accidents from oc-
curing: risk of accidents!

●

Accelerate with caution on slippery sur-

faces (for example, icy or snow-covered).
Despite the control systems, the driven
wheels could spin, affecting the stability of
the vehicle: risk of accident!

Note

●

The ABS and ASR will only operate cor-

rectly if the four wheels have identical
tyres. Any differences in the rolling radius
of the tyres can cause the system to re-
duce engine power when this is not desired.

●

The regulating processes of the systems

can make noises due to their operation.

●

If the warning lamp



lights up,

there could be a fault

●

Any modifications made to the vehicle

(for example, to the engine, brake system,
running gear or to the combination of
wheels and tyres) may affect the operation
of the ABS, ASR and EDS.

Parking

Park the vehicle

When parking your vehicle, all legal require-
ments should be observed.

154

Help with parking and manoeuvring

Always note the following points when park-
ing the vehicle:

●

Park the vehicle on a suitable surface

Apply the handbrake

›››

page 152

●

Set the selector lever to the

position.

●

Connect the drive system.

●

Turn the steering wheel slightly to engage

the steering lock.

●

When leaving the vehicle, take all keys with

you.

Additionally, on steep slopes and inclines

Before switching off the engine, rotate the
steering wheel so that if the vehicle should
move, it will be held by the kerb.

●

On slopes, turn the front wheels so that

they are against the edge of the kerb.

●

Uphill, turn the wheels towards the centre of

the road.

WARNING

●

Avoid parking the vehicle in areas where

the vehicle’s underside could come into
contact with dry grass, low bushes, spilled
fuel or flammable materials.

●

Do not leave passengers inside a closed

vehicle, they may not be able to open
doors or windows. Locked doors hinder the
possibility of a rescue.

●

Children should not be left alone in the

vehicle. They could tamper with the hand-
brake or the gears, which could cause the
vehicle to move without control.

●

Depending on weather conditions, it may

become extremely hot or cold inside the
vehicle. This can be fatal.

Parking distance warning
system

Introduction

The parking distance warning system assists
the driver when parking. If the rear of the ve-
hicle is approaching an obstacle, an intermit-
tent audible warning is emitted. The shorter
the distance, the shorter the intervals be-
tween tones. If the vehicle is too close to the
obstacle, the audible warning becomes con-
stant.

If you continue to approach an obstacle
when the sound is continuous, this means the
system can no longer measure the distance.

Sensors situated on the rear bumper transmit
and receive ultrasound. Using the ultrasound
signal (transmission, reflection from the ob-
stacles and reception), this system continu-
ously calculates the distance between the
bumper and the obstacle.

WARNING

The parking distance warning system can-
not replace the driver's assessment of the
situation.

155

Driving

●

The sensors have blind spots in which ob-

stacles and people are not registered.

●

Always observe the area around the vehi-

cle, as the sensors do not always detect
small children, animals or objects.

●

The surface of certain objects and some

clothing do not reflect the ultrasound sig-
nals from the parking distance system. The
system cannot detect or incorrectly de-
tects these objects and people wearing
these types of clothes.

●

External sound sources can affect the

parking distance aid signals. In this case,
under certain circumstances, people and
objects will not be detected.

CAUTION

●

The sensors may not always be able to

detect objects such as trailer draw bars,
thin rails, fences, posts, trees and open
boots, etc. This could result in damage to
your car.

●

Although the parking distance warning

system detects and warns of the presence
of an obstacle, the obstacle could disap-
pear from the angle of measurement of the
sensors if it is too high or low and the sys-
tem would no longer show it. Therefore, it
will not warn you of these objects. Ignoring
the warnings of the parking sensor system
could cause considerable damage to the
vehicle.

●

The bumper sensors may become dam-

aged or misaligned, for example, when
parking.

●

To ensure that the system works properly,

the bumper sensors must be kept clean,
free of ice and snow and uncovered.

●

When cleaning the sensors with high-

pressure or steam cleaning equipment,
spray the sensors briefly at a distance of
no less than 10 cm.

●

Different sources of noise can produce

errors in the parking distance warning sys-
tem, e.g. parking distance warning systems
from other vehicles, inductive loops or con-
struction works machines.

●

Retrofitting of components to the vehicle,

such as a bicycle carrier, may interfere with
the function of the parking distance warn-
ing system.

Special features of the parking distance
warning system

●

The parking distance warning system

sometimes registers water on the sensors as
an obstacle.

156

Help with parking and manoeuvring

●

If the distance does not change, the warn-

ing signal will sound less loudly after a few
seconds. If the continuous signal sounds, the
volume will remain constant.

●

When the vehicle moves away from the ob-

stacle, the beeping sound automatically
switches off. When getting close again, it re-
connects.

●

Your SEAT dealership can adjust the volume

of the warning signals.

Note

A fault in the parking distance warning sys-
tem is indicated through a brief audible
warning that is constant for about 3 sec-
onds when switching it on the first time.
Have the parking distance warning system
checked as soon as possible at a special-
ised workshop.



High-voltage can cause serious injuries or
even death. Never touch the battery
poles with bare fingers, tools, jewellery or
other metal objects.
The high-voltage battery contains haz-
ardous liquid and solid substances. In the
event of gases emitting from the battery,
these could cause serious burns and

blindness. When performing works on
high-voltage battery, always use appro-
priate eye protection and and protective
clothing to avoid skin and eyes from com-
ing into contact with the battery fluid. If
the battery fluid were to come into con-
tact with skin or eyes, immediately rinse
the affected area with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and seek medical assis-
tance.
The high-voltage battery may burn. Nev-
er expose the high-voltage battery to
sources of fire, sparks or unprotected
flames. Always handle the high-voltage
battery with care to avoid damaging it
and, consequently, fluid from leaking.
Always keep children away from from the
high-voltage battery.
The instruction manual and the workshop
information contain further information
and warnings to this regard.
An inappropriate handling of the high-
voltage battery can cause serious injuries
or death. Never remove the cover from
the high-voltage battery and never re-
move the high-voltage battery.
An inappropriate handling of the high-
voltage battery can cause serious injuries
or death. All maintenance works involving
the high-voltage battery should

only

performed by duly qualified and trained
technical staff



. Never modify the high-

voltage battery in any way. When the

high-voltage battery is open, ensure it
does not come into contact with water or
other liquids. Liquids may cause short cir-
cuits, electrical shocks and burns.

WARNING

The vehicle’s high-voltage network and the
high-voltage battery are hazardous and
can cause burns, other injuries and an
electrical shock with deathly consequen-
ces.

●

Always consider that the high-voltage

battery is fully charged and that all the
high-voltage components are powered.
This may may be the case even with the
electric drive system and the ignition dis-
connected.

●

Never touch the high-voltage cables or

the high-voltage battery and its poles, and
never touch them with jewellery or other
metal objects, especially when the cables,
battery and its poles are damaged.

●

Never take it upon yourself to perform

any type of work on the high-voltage net-
work, on the high-voltage cables or the
high-voltage battery.

●

Never open the components or parts of

the high-voltage network. Never perform
any maintenance work on these elements,
nor repair or uncouple the high-voltage
network.

●

Never damage, modify or remove the or-

ange coloured high-voltage cables, and

160

High-voltage battery

never uncouple them from the high-voltage
network.

●

Never open, modify or remove the cover

from the high-voltage battery.

●

Only duly qualified and trained techni-

cians are authorised to perform works on
the high-voltage system and on any other
systems on which these may have indirect
influence.

●

To perform works close to high-voltage

components and cables which require the
use of sharp tools, which may deform or re-
lease shavings, or sources of heat, such as
works involving welding, soldering, use of
hot air or thermal gluing, you must first en-
sure the system is not powered. Only duly
qualified and trained technicians are au-
thorised to leave the high-voltage system
without power.

●

When performing any work on the high-

voltage system and the high-voltage bat-
tery, ensure you bear in mind the SEAT
guidelines and standards.

●

Keep the vehicle key in a safe place at a

safe distance from the vehicle to prevent
the ignition from turning on by mistake.

●

The gases that are released or leaked

from the high-voltage battery may be toxic
or flammable.

●

Any damage caused to the vehicle or the

high-voltage battery may lead to an imme-
diate or subsequent leak of toxic gases.
These gases can also cause a fire. In the

event of any damage, always open the ve-
hicle windows so the gases can flow out of
the vehicle. Do not inhale the gases.

●

Never touch the fluids or come into con-

tact with the gases that may be released
from the high-voltage battery, especially if
the battery has been damaged.

●

In the event of a fire, leave the danger

area and call the fire department. Inform
the fire fighters that the vehicle is fitted
with an electric drive system.

●

Always inform the emergency service

that the vehicle is fitted with a high-voltage
battery.

WARNING

If works are performed on the high-voltage
system and on the high-voltage compo-
nents in an inappropriate manner, this may
lead to faults in the operation, accidents
and injuries.

●

Only duly qualified and trained techni-

cians are authorised to perform works on
the high-voltage system and on any other
systems on which these may have indirect
influence.

WARNING

Electric vehicles do not make any noise
when the vehicle is not moving and very lit-
tle noise when the vehicle is moving. Hence
other road users, such as pedestrians or

children, cannot hear or perceive their
presence, or they do so with difficulty. This
may lead to accidents and cause injuries,
for example, in residential areas, when ma-
noeuvring or moving in reverse gear.

CAUTION

After an accident or having hit an obstacle
with the vehicle underside, the high-volt-
age battery must be checked by duly
qualified and trained technicians.

To charge the high voltage battery with alter-
nating current, SEAT recommends using an
alternating current charging station with
more than 3.6 kW. This charging method is
more efficient than using a socket.

Protection against fault current

The vehicle is fitted with a device to provide
protection against fault direct current (fault
DC current). This avoids the fault DC cur-
rents, which may be caused during charging,
to reach the electrical installation of the
home through the charging cable and for
them to damage the operation of the differ-
ential switch (in Germany, for example, the
differential switch is A type) while charging.

Night power rates

There are electricity suppliers that offer
cheaper night power rates that can be used
to charge the high-voltage battery. To take
advantage of these periods of time, it is possi-
ble to programme the preferred time for
charging the vehicle using the

Energy man-

agement

or at the home charging station

(wallbox).

›››

page 198

162

High-voltage battery

Batteries age based on their use and their
operating time. It is advisable that you know
certain details regarding the correct handling
and care of the high-voltage battery so this
remains in good condition for longer and can
be used in a reliable manner. Carefully read
the following information and take into ac-
count the indications when using the vehicle.

WARNING

If the battery is charged in an inappropriate
manner, if no consideration is given to the
general safety measures, power sockets
and charging cables in poor condition are
used or the high-voltage battery is used in
an inadequate manner, this could lead to
short circuits, electrical shocks, explosions,
fires, burns and serious injuries, even death.

●

Always respect the stipulated order of

the operations to avoid the risk of suffering
an electrical shock or serious injuries due
to the residual energy in the charge accu-
mulator! Never unplug the connector from
the electrical network during the charge
process.

●

Only connect the charging cable to a

power socket that is protected from water,
humidity and other liquids.

●

When charging, only use power sockets

that are appropriately fitted, have been
checked and are not damaged, as well as
electrical installations that are in perfect
working order. Duly qualified technicians

should check the power sockets and the
electrical installation on a regular basis.

●

Never use damaged charging connectors

or cables. Before using the charging con-
nectors or cables, always check they are
not damaged.

●

Only use the charging cables supplied

with the vehicle or the charging station ca-
ble. In the event of needing replacement,
we recommend you only use SEAT charging
cables.

●

Never modify or repair the electrical

components, especially those belonging to
the high-voltage system.

●

Never charge the vehicle in places where

there is a danger of explosion. The compo-
nents of the charging cable can cause
sparks and, therefore, may ignite flamma-
ble fumes or explosives.

●

Never use the charging cable in combi-

nation with an extension cable, a cable
reel, a power strip or an adapter, such as a
travel adapter or a timer.

●

Always protect the connectors from hu-

midity, water and other liquids.

●

For safety reasons, never perform other

works on the vehicle while charging.

●

Always complete the charging process

before unplugging the connector from the
electrical network. Otherwise the charging
cable and the electrical installation may
also be damaged.

●

Always remove the charging cable be-

fore starting the vehicle. Place the protec-
tive caps and close the cover of the battery
charging socket.

●

Never charge several vehicles simultane-

ously from the power sockets of the same
protected electrical circuit. To charge oth-
er vehicles simultaneously, use another
electrical circuit. Always take into consid-
eration the maximum capacity of the elec-
trical circuit used. Given the case, contact
duly qualified personnel specialised in
electrical installations.

CAUTION

Charging the high-voltage battery fre-
quently with a high charge power could
lead to a permanent reduction in the bat-
tery’s charge capacity. Charge the high-
voltage battery preferably using a low
charge capacity, i.e. a home charging sta-
tion (wallbox) or a power socket that have
been checked.

CAUTION

Leaving the vehicle parked for a long peri-
od of time with the high-voltage battery
discharged may cause irreversible damage
to the battery.

●

Always charge the high-voltage battery

immediately.

163

Battery

Note

●

The high-voltage battery can only be

charged at charging stations that meet the
following requirements and regulations:

–

IEC 61851 and IEC 62196 (type 2 con-
nector).

●

In the event of very low or very high tem-

peratures, it may only be possible to
charge the high-voltage battery in a limited
manner.

●

To avoid possible compatibility problems

with charging infrastructures, SEAT recom-
mends the use of cables and home charg-
ing stations recommended by the Volkswa-
gen Group.

Charge the high-voltage battery as soon as
possible to avoid the vehicle from stopping.

WARNING

If the vehicle is driven with a very low a
charge level of the high-voltage battery,
the vehicle may stall in traffic, causing seri-
ous damage or accidents and injuries.

●

Always ensure that the charge level of

the high-voltage battery is sufficient!

WARNING

When the high-voltage battery charge lev-
el reaches the reserve level, it is possible
that certain driving properties may vary, i.e.
the acceleration behaviour of the vehicle.

●

Always adapt the speed and driving style

to the conditions of visibility, weather, road
and traffic, as well as the charge level of
the high-voltage battery.

CAUTION

The self-discharge of the high-voltage bat-
tery, for example due to the vehicle being

164

High-voltage battery

parked for several months, can cause dam-
age to the battery in the event of high am-
bient temperature and the battery having a
low charge level.

●

Always ensure that the charge level of

the high-voltage battery is sufficient!

Note

If the outside temperature is very low and,
therefore, the high-voltage battery is very
cold, the autonomy may be reduced.

Charging for the first time and charging
after not being used for a long period of
time

When the high-voltage battery is new or has
not been charged for a long period of time, it
is possible that the battery may not reach its
maximum charge level until it is charged sev-
eral times. This is due to technical reasons
and has nothing to do with any fault in the ve-
hicle.

If you are not going to use the vehicle for a
long period of time, make sure you charge the
high-voltage battery within a period of 4
months at the latest.

Note

If once the charge is completed you leave
the charging cable connected, the high-
voltage battery will not discharge due to
the use of the vehicle’s electricity consum-
ers.
