WARNING

The improper use of the electronic parking
brake can cause accidents and serious in-
jury.

●

Never use the electronic parking brake to

stop the vehicle, unless it is an emergency.
Braking distances can be considerably lon-
ger, since, under certain circumstances,
only the rear wheels brake. Always use the
foot brake.

●

Never accelerate from the engine when a

gear range or a gear is engaged and the
engine is running. The vehicle could move,

even if the electronic parking brake is acti-
vated.

●

When the electronic parking brake is

switched on or off, there is a slight move-
ment of the brake pedal. Be careful not to
position your foot under the pedal.

CAUTION

To prevent the vehicle from unintentionally
moving when parking it, first apply the
electronic parking brake and then remove
your foot from the brake pedal.

In the lower part of the centre con-

sole: Auto Hold function button.

The Auto Hold

›››

Fig. 199

button's indicator

lamp remains on while the Auto Hold function
is switched on.

Once connected, the Auto Hold function as-
sists the driver in keeping the vehicle station-
ary at repeated intervals or for a certain peri-
od of time with the engine running, for exam-
ple, when going up a slope, when stopped at
traffic lights or in heavy traffic with intermit-
tent stops.

When connected, the Auto Hold function au-
tomatically prevents the vehicle from rolling
when stationary without pressing the brake
pedal.

After detecting that the vehicle is stationary
and the brake pedal has been released, the

Auto Hold function holds the vehicle. The driv-
er can lift their foot off the brake pedal.

When the driver touches the accelerator
pedal or accelerates slightly to continue driv-
ing, the Auto Hold function releases the brake.
The vehicle moves according to the slope of
the road.

If the vehicle is stationary and one of the con-
ditions required by the Auto Hold function is
impaired, it disconnects itself and the button's
control light goes out

WARNING

The smart technology incorporated into
the Auto Hold function cannot defy the
laws of physics; it only works within the lim-
its of the system. The greater convenience
provided by the Auto Hold function should
never tempt you to take any risk that may
compromise safety.

the Auto Hold function switched on.

●

The Auto Hold function cannot always

keep the vehicle stationary uphill or down-
hill or stop it sufficiently, for example, on
slippery or frozen surfaces.

warning light stays on permanently, there

is a fault. Seek qualified technical assis-
tance immediately.

Brake assist systems

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

The ESC helps to improve safety. It reduces
the tendency to skid and improves the stabili-
ty and roadholding of the vehicle. The ESC
detects critical handling situations, such as
vehicle understeer or oversteer, or wheelspin
on the driving wheels. It stabilises the vehicle
by braking individual wheels or by reducing
the engine torque. The warning lamp will
flash on the instrument panel when the ESC is
intervening



The ESC includes the anti-lock brake system
(ABS), the hydraulic brake assist (HBA), the
traction control system (TCS), electronic dif-
ferential lock (EDS), electronic torque control
(XDS) and the tractor-trailer sway mitigation.

ESC also helps stabilise the vehicle by
changing the torque.

The TCS can be deactivated when wheel
spin is desirable

›››

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

ABS prevents the wheels from locking up un-
der braking until the vehicle has reached a
virtual standstill. You can continue to steer the

275

Driving

vehicle even when the brakes are on full.
Keep your foot on the brake pedal and do not
pump the brakes. You will feel the brake pedal
pulsate while the ABS is working.

If the running gear or brake system is modi-
fied, the effectiveness of the ABS could be se-
verely limited.

Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)

The brake assist system can reduce the re-
quired braking distance. The braking force is
automatically boosted if you press the brake
pedal quickly in an emergency. You must
keep pressing the brake pedal until the dan-
ger has passed.

Traction control (TCS)

In the event of the wheels spinning, the TCS
reduces the engine torque to adapt to the
road condition. This helps the car to start
moving, accelerate or climb a gradient.

Electronic differential lock (EDL)

When the EDL detects wheelspin, it brakes
the spinning wheel and directs the power to
the other driven wheel. This function is active
up to approximately 100 km/h (62 mph).

To prevent the disc brake of the braked wheel
from overheating, the EDL cuts out automati-
cally if subjected to excessive loads. The ve-
hicle can still be driven. The EDL will switch on

again automatically when the brake has
cooled down.

Tractor-trailer sway mitigation

If the vehicle is pulling a trailer, it will control
the following: tractor-trailers tend to sway.
When the swaying of the trailer is felt by the
vehicle and detected by the ESC, it will auto-
matically brake the towing vehicle within the
limits of the system and mitigate the sway.
Tractor-trailer sway mitigation is not available
in all countries

›››

page 299

Electronic engine torque management
(XDS)

When taking a curve, the driveshaft differen-
tial allows the outer wheel to turn at a higher
speed than the inner wheel. In this way, the
wheel that is turning faster (outer wheel) re-
ceives less drive torque than the inner wheel.
This may mean that in certain situations the
torque delivered to the inner wheel is too
high, causing the wheels to spin. On the other
hand, the outer wheel is receiving a lower
drive torque than it could transmit. This can
cause a loss of grip on the drive axle, in this
case the front axle, which results in under-
steer or “lengthening” of the trajectory.

The XDS can detect and correct this effect
via the sensors and signals of the ESC.

Via the ESC, the XDS will brake the inside
wheel and counter the excess driving torque

of that wheel. This means that the requested
trajectory is much more precise.

XDS works in combination with the ESC and is
always active, even when TCS is switched off,
or when the ESC is in Sport mode or discon-
nected.

Multi-collision brake

The multi-collision brake consists of automat-
ic braking activated by the Airbag control
unit. It is activated when, in the event of an
accident, the Airbag control unit detects de-
celerations above the activation level, and
braking is managed by the ESC system.

In the event of an accident, the multi-collision
brake can help the driver by braking to avoid
the risk of skidding during the accident and
causing other collisions.

The following actions control automatic brak-
ing during the accident:

●

When the driver presses the accelerator,

the automatic braking does not take place.

●

When the braking pressure through press-

ing the brake pedal is greater than the sys-
tem’s braking pressure the vehicle will brake
automatically.

●

Multi-collision braking will not be available

if there is an anomaly in the ESC system.

276

Braking and parking

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. When the
brakes are applied by the driver assist sys-
tems, such as those regulated by the ACC
(adaptive cruise control) or emergency brak-
ing, the brake pedal may move downwards.
After disconnecting the ignition, the assis-
tance of the brake servo is progressively re-
duced. Once stopped, immobilise the vehicle
to prevent it from moving.

Please follow the parking instructions

›››

If the electromechanical brake servo does
not work, the red symbol



indicating failure

in the brake system appears in the instrument
panel. When braking with the faulty electro-
mechanical 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. This braking effect depends

on the selected driving programme and the
level of charge of the high-voltage battery.

If the braking effect caused by the recupera-
tion is very intense, the vehicle’s brake lights
with turn on. The electric engine, when oper-
ating 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, TCS, EDS or electronic tor-

que management are not in a position to
overcome the limits imposed by physics.
Always 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, brake assist,
EDS and the electronic torque control sys-
tem cannot prevent accidents: risk of acci-
dents!

●

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 TCS 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

●

Any modifications made to the vehicle

(for example, to the engine, brake system,

wheels and tyres) may affect the operation
of the ABS, TCS and EDS.

Connecting and disconnecting the
ESC and TCS

The ESC is switched on automatically when
the engine is started, and only works when
the engine is running and includes the ABS,
EDS and TCS systems.

The TCS function should only be switched off
in situations where traction is insufficient.

Depending on the finishes and versions, it is
possible to only switch off the TCS, or to
switch on the ESC in “Sport” mode.

Parking

To park the vehicle

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

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

●

Park the vehicle on a suitable surface

›››

●

Connect the electronic parking brake

›››

page 272

●

Automatic transmission: switch on the park-

ing lock by pressing button

●

Stop the engine and turn off the ignition.

Turn the steering wheel slightly to engage the
steering lock.

●

With a manual gearbox, engage first gear

on flat ground and slopes, or even reverse
gear on hills, and release the clutch pedal.

●

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 where the hot

exhaust system could ignite inflammable
materials, such as dry grass, low bushes,
spilt fuel or flammable materials.

278

Help with parking and manoeuvring

●

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.

Assisted parking system
(Park Assist)

Introduction

The parking assist system is an additional
function of the ParkPilot

›››

page 286

and

helps the driver find a suitable parking space
from among the following types:

●

park driving in reverse in suitable perpen-

dicular and parallel spaces,

●

park driving forwards in suitable perpendic-

ular spaces,

●

exit a parking space driving forwards from a

parallel space,

●

park in a suitable space driving forward on

angle partially entering into the selected
parking space. The system will centre the ve-
hicle in said parking space.

In vehicles with a Park Assist system and fac-
tory infotainment system, the front, rear and
side areas are represented, and the position
of obstacles is shown relative to the vehicle.

The Park Assist system is subject to certain
limitations inherent to the system and its use
requires special attention by the driver

›››

WARNING

The technology used in the park assist sys-
tem involves a series of limitations inherent
in the actual system and in the use of ultra-
sonic sensors. The use of Park Assist should
never tempt you to take any risk that may
compromise safety. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness.

●

Any accidental movement of the vehicle

could result in serious injury.

●

Adapt your speed and driving style at all

times to suit visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions.

●

Certain surfaces of objects and gar-

ments do not reflect the ultrasound sen-
sors' signals. The system cannot detect, at
least correctly, these objects or people
wearing such clothes.

●

Ultrasound sensor signals may be affec-

ted by external sound sources. In certain
circumstances this may prevent them from
detecting people or objects.

●

The ultrasound sensors may have blind

spots in which obstacles and people are
not detected.

●

Monitor the area around the vehicle at all

times, since the ultrasound sensors do not
detect small children, animals or certain
objects in all situations.

279

Driving

WARNING

Quick turns of the steering wheel when
parking or exiting a parking space with
Park Assist can cause serious injury.

●

Do not hold the steering wheel during

manoeuvres to park or exit a parking space
until the system requests it. Doing so disa-
bles the system during the manoeuvre, re-
sulting in the parking being cancelled.

CAUTION

●

In certain circumstances, the ultrasonic

sensors do not detect objects such as trail-
er tongues, bars, fences, posts or thin trees,
or an open (or opening) rear lid, which
could damage the vehicle.

●

Retrofitting of certain accessories to the

vehicle, such as a bicycle rack, may inter-
fere with the operation of the Park Assist
system and cause damage.

●

The Park Assist system uses as a refer-

ence parked vehicles, curbs and other ob-
jects. Make sure that the tyres and wheels
are not damaged while parking. If necessa-
ry, opportunely interrupt the parking ma-
noeuvre to avoid damaging the vehicle.

●

The ultrasound sensors on the bumper

may be damaged or shifted in the event of
a collision, for example, when entering or
exiting a parking space.

●

If you use high-pressure or vapour equip-

ment to clean the ultrasound sensors, do

not apply it directly unless very briefly and
always from a distance of more than 10 cm.

●

A registration plate or plate holder on the

front with larger than the space for the reg-
istration plate, or a registration plate that is
curved or warped can cause:

–

False detections.

–

The sensors to lose visibility.

–

Cancellation of the parking manoeuvre
or defective parking.

●

If one of the ultrasonic sensors is dam-

aged, the area corresponding to that group
of sensors (front or rear) is deactivated and
cannot be activated until the fault is cor-
rected. However, you can still use the sen-
sors of the other bumper as per usual. If
there is a fault in the system, consult a spe-
cialist workshop. SEAT recommends visiting
a SEAT dealership for this.

Note

●

In order to guarantee good system oper-

ation, keep the ultrasound sensors of the
bumper clean, free of snow or ice, and do
not cover them with adhesives or other ob-
jects.

●

Certain sources of noise, such as rough

asphalt or paving stones and the noise of
other vehicles can induce the Park Assist
system or ParkPilot to give erroneous warn-
ings. The presence of metal objects can al-
so affect the manoeuvre.

●

In order to become familiar with the sys-

tem and its functions, SEAT recommends
that you practice operating the Park Assist
system in an area where there is not too
much traffic or in a car park.

●

There is a fault in the system (the system is

temporarily unavailable).

●

The TCS is disconnected.

●

TCS or ESC intervene with regulation.

●

The driver door is opened.

To restart the manoeuvre it is necessary that
none of these things occur and that the

Special characteristics

The Park Assist system is subject to certain
limitations inherent to the system. For exam-
ple, it is therefore not possible to enter or exit
a parking space on sharp bends.

While entering or exiting a parking space, a
brief signal sounds to prompt the driver to
change between forward and reverse gears
(depending on the case). In successive ma-
noeuvres, the assistant tells the driver to
change gears, at the latest, when the contin-
uous audible signal is given (object present at
a distance of ≤30 cm) by Park Pilot.

When the Park Assist system turns the steer-
ing wheel with the vehicle stationary, the in-
strument panel also displays the symbol



Keep the brake pedal depressed while the
symbol remains on the dash panel display to
turn the wheels with the vehicle stopped. This
way, the system will require fewer manoeu-
vres to complete the parking action.

Trailer mode

The Park Assist system cannot be switched
on if the factory-fitted towing bracket

›››

page 294

is electrically connected to a

trailer.

After changing a wheel

If, after changing a wheel, the vehicle stops
entering and exiting parking spaces correct-
ly, the circumference of the new wheel may
be different and the system may need to
adapt to it. The adaptation is automatic and
takes place during driving. Making turns slow-
ly and in both directions (20 km/h [12 mph])
for a few minutes may contribute to this
adaptation process
