ta. When a destination point is outside the
known roads or position data, navigation
finds the route to the next point of the known
road and completes the path to the next des-
tination point with a direct connection.

Learn usage pattern

When the vehicle is in motion, navigation
saves routes and destinations used to auto-
matically generate destination proposals.
Destinations are learned based on the time of
day and the day of the week.

Navigation can propose up to 5 routes at the
same time. The proposed routes may be dif-
ferent from the routes of the normal route
guidance.

If one of the proposed destinations is selec-
ted, the guide to that destination is started.

The route guidance follows the selected route
until the vehicle deviates from it. In that case,
the route is recalculated and takes you back
along the most direct path to the initially se-
lected destination.

Important traffic jams are taken into account
in the route guidance, and are avoided if al-

ternative routes are available, provided navi-
gation has such data.

You can activate and deactivate the function
whenever you want.

Infotainment operation

Telephone interface

Introduction

Fig. 161

Schematic representation: Phone view

You can use the telephone interface to con-
nect your mobile to the infotainment system
and operate phone functions through it. The
sound is played through the vehicle's speak-
ers.

You can connect up to two mobile phone de-
vices simultaneously to the infotainment sys-
tem.

High speeds, poor weather or road conditions
and a noisy ambience (even outside of the
vehicle), as well as the quality of reception
can all affect the quality of a telephone con-
versation in the vehicle.

Note

As a general rule, pairing a device (for ex-

ample, a mobile phone device) is only nec-
essary once. You can restore the device
connection via Bluetooth® or Wi-Fi with the
infotainment system whenever you want
without having to pair the device again.

The availability of some telephone func-

tions will depend on the mobile phone con-
nected to the infotainment system.

onds.

With the engine running, the start button light
stays on, indicating that the engine is running.
The time elapsed between the moment the
user starts the engine with the start button
and the lighting changes from flashing to
fixed will depend on specific engine size
characteristics. When the start button is used
to stop the engine, the button starts flashing
again.

216

Start and driving

In vehicles

with the Start-Stop system

, the

“My Beat” function also offers additional in-
formation:

When the engine stops during the Stop

phase, the light of the start button stays on,
as the Start-Stop system remains active even
though the engine is off.

When the engine cannot be started again

, and

needs to be started manually, the start but-
ton flashes to indicate this situation.

WARNING

When switching on the ignition,

do not

press the brake or clutch pedal, otherwise
the engine could start immediately.

WARNING

If vehicle keys are used negligently or with-
out due care, this may cause accidents and
serious injury.

Never leave any key inside the vehicle

when you leave it. Otherwise, a child or un-
authorised person could lock the vehicle,
start the engine or connect the ignition and
operate any of the electrical equipment.

Note

Before leaving the vehicle, always dis-

connect the ignition and, if appropriate,

take into account the instructions on the
screen of the dash panel.

If the vehicle is stationary for a long time

with the engine off and the ignition on, the
12-volt vehicle battery might be dis-
charged and it might not be possible to
start the engine.

In vehicles with diesel engines, wait until

the warning light

›››

Starting the engine

Vehicles with manual transmission:

put the

gear lever in neutral, press the clutch pedal
and keep it pressed in this position until the
engine starts.

Vehicles with automatic transmission:

press

the brake pedal and keep it pressed in this
position until the engine starts.

Press the starter button

›››

; do not

press the accelerator. There needs to be a
valid key inside the vehicle for the engine to
start. After starting the engine, the lighting of

the



button remains fixed indicat-

ing that the engine is running.

Once the engine starts, release the start-up

button.

If the engine does not start, stop and wait

for around 1 minute to try again. If necessary,
perform an emergency start

›››

page 219

.

Diesel engines can take a few seconds longer
than usual to start on cold days. During pre-
heating, the warning lamp

remains lit. To

avoid unnecessary discharging of the bat-
tery, do not use any other major electrical
equipment while the glow plugs are pre-
heating.

The preheating time depends on the coolant
and exterior temperatures. With the engine at
operating temperature, or at outside temper-
atures above +8°C, the warning lamp

will

light up for about one second. This means
that you can start the engine almost immedi-
ately.

Starting a diesel engine after having run
out of fuel

If the fuel tank of a diesel vehicle was run until
completely empty, after refuelling it can last
longer than normal to start the engine, even
up to a minute. This is because the fuel sys-
tem must eliminate air first.

217

Driving

WARNING

Do not keep the engine running in confined
spaces, as there is a risk of poisoning.

The exhaust gases contain carbon mon-

oxide, an odourless and colourless poison-
ous gas that can cause loss of conscious-
ness and death.

WARNING

Do not get out of the vehicle with the en-
gine running, especially if a gear is engag-
ed. The vehicle could then suddenly move
or something strange could happen that
would cause damage, fire or serious injury.

WARNING

Never use cold start sprays, they could ex-
plode or cause the engine to run at high
revs. Doing this risks injury.

CAUTION

The starter motor or the engine may be

damaged if you try to restart the engine im-
mediately after switching it off.

When the engine is cold, you should

avoid high engine speeds, driving at full
throttle and over-loading the engine, as
this could cause engine damage.

For the sake of the environment

Do not warm-up the engine by running the
engine with the vehicle stationary. Start off
immediately, driving gently. This helps the
engine reach operating temperature faster
and reduces emissions.

Note

Electrical components with a high power

consumption are switched off temporarily
when the engine starts.

When starting with a cold engine, noise

levels may briefly increase. This is quite
normal, and no cause for concern.

When the outside temperature is below

+5 °C (+41 °F), if the engine is diesel, some
smoke may appear under the vehicle when
the fuel-operated auxiliary heater is on.

In vehicles with a natural gas engine

(CNG), by default, the engine starts with
gas, with the exception of the following ca-
ses:

Coolant temperature below -15°C.

After refuelling CNG.

Car wash function (hybrid vehicles)

When the ignition is turned off with gear

N

ac-

tivated, the vehicle can roll for the next 30 mi-
nutes. After that time, if the vehicle is stopped
the parking lock

P

activates automatically.

The corresponding warning message is dis-
played on the instrument cluster display one
minute before this happens.

WARNING

Never switch off the engine while the vehi-
cle is moving. This could cause loss of con-
trol of the vehicle, accidents and serious in-
jury.

The airbags and belt tensioners do not

work when the ignition is switched off.

The brake servo does not work with the

engine off. Therefore, you need to press the
break pedal harder to brake the vehicle.

Power steering does not work when the

engine is not running. You need more
strength to steer when the engine is switch-
ed off.

If the ignition is switched off, the steering

column could be locked, making it impossi-
ble to control the vehicle.

Start and driving

WARNING

Always take the key with you when you
leave the vehicle. This is particularly impor-
tant if there are children in the vehicle, as
they might otherwise be able to start the
engine or use power-operated equipment
(e.g. the electric windows), which could
cause injuries.

CAUTION

If the vehicle is stopped and the Start-

Stop system switches off the engine, the ig-
nition remains switched on. Make sure that
the ignition is switched off before leaving
the vehicle, otherwise the battery could
discharge.

If the engine has been driven at high

speed for a prolonged period of time, it
may overheat when switched off. To avoid
damage, allow the engine to run for ap-
proximately two minutes in neutral before
switching it off.

Note

After the engine is switched off the radiator
fan may run on for up to 10 minutes, even if
the ignition is switched off. It is also possi-
ble that the fan turns itself on once more if
the coolant temperature increases due to
the heat accumulated in the engine com-
partment or due to its prolonged exposure
to solar radiation.

Electronic immobilizer

The electronic immobiliser prevents unau-
thorised persons from driving the vehicle.

In the key there is a chip that automatically
deactivates the electronic immobiliser.

The electronic immobiliser is automatically
activated when the key is outside the vehicle.

If the following message is shown on the in-
strument panel display:

SAFE

, the vehicle

cannot be started.

The engine can only be started using a genu-
ine SEAT key with its correct code.

Note

A perfect operation of the vehicle is ensur-
ed if genuine SEAT keys are used.

Driving with electric drive

Switching on the hybrid drive sys-
tem

3

Valid for: hybrid vehicles

Switching on the hybrid drive activates the
vehicle's propulsion system. When the vehi-
cle’s drive system is switched on, the electric
drive is activated. The combustion engine
starts automatically when the charge level of
the high-voltage battery is not sufficient to
run with the electric drive, or if high drive
power is required.

To access driving with the electric drive in the
infotainment system:

> Vehicle > Exterior > Electric

drive

.

Requirements for switching on the drive
system

The drive system can be switched on when
the following conditions are met:

The high voltage battery has a sufficient

charge level.

There is no charging cable plugged in.

The temperature of the high-voltage bat-

tery is within the operating range.

There is a valid remote control key in the

vehicle.

Switching on the drive system

Press the ignition and start button once.

The ignition must be switched on.

Press the brake pedal and keep it pressed.

Start and driving

Detecting the drive system

With the electric drive, the motor makes no
noticeable noise when the drive system is
switched on or while driving. Therefore, you
cannot defect that the vehicle's drive system
is on by engine noise. Instead, the following
characteristics show that the vehicle is ready
to drive:

.

The display light on the instrument cluster is

on, regardless of whether the vehicle’s exteri-
or lighting is on.

The indicator lamp on the instrument clus-

ter switches on



.

An audio signal is heard.

Switching on the drive system in very low
outside temperatures

If the outside temperature is very low (ap-
proximately -27°C (-16°F) or lower), the high-
voltage battery may freeze and stop working.
In this case it's not possible to switch on the
drive system.

As soon as the temperature of the high-volt-
age has increase enough, the drive system
can be switched on again.

To ensure that the drive system can be
switched on, even in very low outside temper-
atures, SEAT recommends parking the vehicle
in a place protected from the cold.

Behaviour when moving off or stopping

The combustion engine only runs if necessa-
ry. When the vehicle is stationary, the com-
bustion engine is normally switched off and
the vehicle’s electrical systems are powered
by the high-voltage battery. The rev counter
on the instrument cluster remains at 0

›››

page 80

.

The combustion engine switches off in certain
driving conditions. This is normal and aims to
save fuel. In general, the power steering and
brake assist systems remain on. In isolated
cases the system may require the combus-
tion engine to carry on running even when the
vehicle is stationary.

In traffic jams the combustion engine may
start up while the vehicle is stationary to re-
charge the high voltage battery for subse-
quent

driving off

and

stopping

phases.

Note

A click is heard when the drive system is
turned on. This is completely normal and
does not mean there is a problem.

Vehicle sound

3

Valid for: hybrid vehicles

The electric drive makes much less noise
than a combustion engine. In the versions for
some countries, artificial vehicle sound is

generated to allow the vehicle to be heard
better from the outside. At higher speeds,
when the noise produced by the tyres and
the wind increases, the vehicle's sound auto-
matically fades out.

WARNING

During electric driving, the auditory per-
ception of the vehicle by other road users
may be much lower. This is especially true
in traffic-restricted areas and when ma-
noeuvring or reversing. Accident hazard!

Troubleshooting

3

Valid for: hybrid vehicles

Drive: Fault! Stop the vehicle safely

The warning lamp lights up red. There is
a fault in the vehicle’s drive system. The
vehicle's drive system is no longer avail-
able. Park the vehicle in a safe place as
soon as possible. Seek professional as-
sistance.

Drive: Fault! The electric drive is not
working properly. Visit a workshop

The warning lamp lights up yellow. There
is a fault in the vehicle’s drive system.
Drive slowly to a specialised workshop
to have the fault repaired.
