Basic telephone interface
The Basic telephone interface uses the Blue-
tooth® HFP profile for transmission. This inter-
face allows the use of telephone functions
through the infotainment system and play-
back through the vehicle's speakers.
Comfort telephone interface
Like the Basic telephone interface, the Com-
fort telephone interface also uses the Blue-
tooth® HFP profile.
The Comfort phone interface can be equip-
ped with the wireless charging function
›››
.
In order to use the functions of the wireless
charging function, you have to place a suita-
ble mobile phone device correctly in the stor-

In the lower part of the centre con-
sole: start button.
The engine can be started with a start button
(Press & Drive). To do so, there must be a valid
key inside the vehicle in the area of the front
or rear seats, or on the centre console.
In vehicles with the Keyless Access
›››
system, the engine can also be
started with the key in the luggage compart-
ment.
Opening the driver's door
when exiting the
vehicle
activates the electronic lock on the

Switching the ignition on/off
If you only want to switch on the ignition
(without starting the engine), briefly press the
start button once
without pressing
the brake
pedal or the clutch pedal
The
push-button text flashes
like a heartbeat when the system is ready for
the ignition to be turned on or off.
Automatic ignition disconnection
If the driver leaves the vehicle, taking the key
with them but leaving the ignition on, the igni-
tion does not switch off automatically. The ig-
nition is switched off by pressing the lock but-
ton on the remote control
or by pressing
the sensor surface on the door lever
›››
Automatic deactivation of the ignition on
vehicles with the Start-Stop system
The ignition is switched off automatically
when the vehicle is stopped and the auto-
matic engine shutdown is active, if:
●
The driver's seat belt is not fastened,
●
the driver does not step on any pedal,
●
the driver door is opened.
After automatically turning off the ignition, if
the dipped beam
is on, the side light re-
mains on for approx. 30 minutes (if there is
enough charge in the battery). If the driver
locks the vehicle or manually turns off the
light, the side light goes out.
Engine restart feature
If no key is detected inside the vehicle after
the engine stops, you will only have 5 sec-
onds to restart it. A warning will display on the
dash panel screen.
After this interval, it will not be possible to
start the engine without a valid key inside the
vehicle.
“My Beat” function
For vehicles with a convenience key there is
the “My Beat” function. This feature provides
an additional indication of the vehicle ignition
system.
When entering the vehicle, the start button
›››
flashes to draw attention to it.
When the ignition is on/off, the engine start
button flashes. With the ignition is switched
off, the start button goes off after a few sec-
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
208
Start and driving
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.
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
with the Start-Stop system,
, 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
goes off
before starting the engine.
●
If during the STOP phase you press the
button, the ignition is switch-
ed off and the push-button flashes.
●
If the indication is displayed on the in-
strument panel display “Start-Stop system
deactivated: Start the engine manually”;
the
button will flash.
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:
put
the selector lever in
P
or
N
, 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
.
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
»
209
Driving
up to a minute. This is because the fuel sys-
tem must eliminate air first.
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.
Turning off the engine
●
Bring the vehicle to a full stop
.
●
With manual transmission, press the clutch
all the way down. If the vehicle is automatic,
set the selector lever to the
P
position.
●
Apply the electronic parking brake.
●
Briefly press the start-up button
.
Emergency disconnection
If the engine does not switch off after briefly
pressing the starter button, an emergency
disconnect will be required:
●
Press the starter button twice within 3 sec-
onds or press it once for more than 1 sec-
ond
in Ignition and start button on
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.
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
210
Start and driving
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.

The engine stops when the selector lever is in
the positions
P
,
D
,
N
and
S
in addition to when
in Tiptronic mode. With the selector lever in
P
,
the engine will also remain switched off when
you take your foot off the brake pedal. In or-
der to start the engine up again the accelera-
tor must be pressed, or another gear engag-
ed or the brake released.
If the selector lever is placed in
R
while stop-
ped, the engine will start up again.

from accidentally starting when passing
through R.
Additional information about vehicles with
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
In vehicles with ACC function, the engine will
start up again in certain operating conditions
if the radar sensor detects that the vehicle
ahead drives off again.
WARNING
●
Never switch the engine off until the vehi-
cle is stationary. The operation of the brake
and steering will not be fully guaranteed.
More force will be needed to turn the steer-
ing wheel or to brake. You could suffer an
accident and even serious injuries.
»
213
Driving
●
To avoid injury, make sure that the Start-
Stop system is switched off when working
in the engine compartment
.
CAUTION
The Start-Stop system must always be
switched off when driving through flooded
areas
›››
.
Note
●
In vehicles with an automatic gearbox,
you can control whether the engine should
switch off or not by reducing or increasing
the brake force applied. While the vehicle
remains stopped, the engine will not stop if
the brake pedal is slightly pressed, in traffic
jams with frequent stopping and starting
for example. As soon as strong pressure is
applied to the brake pedal, the engine will
stop.
●
When stopped, the brake pedal must be
kept pressed to ensure that the vehicle
does not move.
●
If the engine “stalls” with a manual gear-
box, it can be directly started up again by
immediately pressing the clutch pedal.
●
With an automatic gearbox, if the lever is
placed in position D, N or S after engaging
reverse gear, 10 km/h (6 mph) in a forwards
direction must be reached for the system to
be in a status to stop the engine.

Changing down gears
While driving, changing down a gear must al-
ways be done gradually, i.e. to the gear di-
rectly below and when the engine speed is
not too high
. Changing down while by-
passing one or various gears at high speeds
or at high engine speeds can damage the
clutch and the gearbox, even if the clutch
pedal remains depressed
WARNING
When the engine is running, the vehicle will
start to move as soon as a gear is engaged
and the clutch released. This also happens
if the electronic parking brake is switched
on.
●
Never engage reverse gear when the ve-
hicle is moving.
WARNING
If the gear is changed down inappropriate-
ly by selecting a gear that is too low, you
may lose control of the vehicle, causing an
accident and serious injuries.
CAUTION
When travelling at high speeds or at high
engine speeds, selecting a gear that is too
low can cause considerable damage to the
clutch and the gearbox. This can also oc-
cur if the clutch pedal is pressed and held
and it does not engage.
CAUTION
To prevent damage and avoid premature
wear, please observe the following:
●
Do not rest your hand on the gear lever
while driving. The pressure applied by your
hand is transmitted to the gearbox selector
forks.
●
Do not leave your foot on the clutch ped-
al; although the pressure may seem insig-
nificant, it can cause the premature wear of
the clutch plate. Use the foot rest when you
do not need to change gear.
●
Always ensure that the vehicle is com-
pletely stopped before engaging the re-
verse gear.
●
Always press the clutch to the floor when
changing gears.
●
Never hold the vehicle “on the clutch” on
hills with the engine on.

and the engine is
idling
To move the lever to position
R
, the lock but-
ton must be pressed and held while pressing
the brake pedal at the same time. The reverse
lights come on when the lever is in the
R
posi-
tion with the ignition on.
– Neutral
With the lever in this position, the gear is in
neutral.
Press the brake pedal to move the lever from
N
to
D/S
when the vehicle is stationary or at
speeds below 3 km/h (2 mph)
– Permanent forward drive position
The lever in the
D/S
position enables the
gears to be operated in normal mode (
D
) or
sport mode (
S
). To select Sport mode
S
,
move the lever backwards. Pushing the lever
again will select normal mode
D
. The selec-
ted driving mode is shown on the instrument
panel display.
In
normal mode
(
D
), the gearbox selects the
best gear ratio. This depends on the engine
load, the road speed and the dynamic gear
control programme (DCP).
Sport mode
(
S
) should be selected for a
sporty driving style. This setting makes use of
the engine's maximum power output. When
accelerating the gear shifts will be noticea-
ble.
Under certain circumstances (e.g. on moun-
tain roads) it can be advantageous to switch
tiptronic mode
, to adapt the
gears to suit the road conditions.
Selector lever lock
In
P
or
N
, the lever lock prevents a gear range
from being engaged, and prevents the vehi-
cle from moving off accidentally.
To release the gear lever lock, press and hold
the brake pedal with the ignition on. At the
same time, press the lever lock in the direc-
tion of the arrow
›››
.
As a reminder to the driver, when the lever is
in positions
P
or
N
the following indication will
be shown on the screen:
When stationary, apply footbrake
while selecting a gear.
The lever is not locked if it is moved quickly
through position
N
(e.g. when shifting from
R
to
D
). This makes it possible, for instance, to
“rock the vehicle backwards and forwards” if
it is stuck in snow or mud. The lever lock en-
gages automatically if the brake pedal is not
pressed and the lever is in position
N
for more
than about one second at a speed of less
than 5 km/h (3 mph).
Safety interlock for ignition key
Once the ignition has been turned off, the key
may be removed only if the gear selector is in
216
Start and driving
position
P
. While the key is not in the ignition,
the selector lever is locked in position
P
.
WARNING
●
Take care not to press the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is stopped. The ve-
hicle could start moving immediately (in
some cases even if the parking brake is en-
gaged) resulting in the risk of an accident.
●
Never move the lever to R or P when driv-
ing. Failure to follow this instruction could
result in an accident or failure.
●
With the lever in any position (except P),
the foot brake must be pushed down when-
ever the engine is running. This is because
an automatic gearbox still transmits power
even at idling speed.
●
While you are selecting a gear and the
vehicle is stopped with the engine running,
do not accelerate. Failure to follow this in-
struction could result in an accident.
●
As a driver you should never leave your
vehicle if the engine is running and a gear is
engaged. Switch on the electronic parking
brake and select the parking lock (P).
Note
●
If the lever is moved accidentally to N
when driving, release the accelerator and
let the engine speed drop to idling before
selecting gear range D or S again.
●
Should the power supply to the lever be
interrupted in position P, it will not be possi-
ble to move the lever. If this should happen
the manual release can be used
›››
.
Note
●
If the lever lock does not engage, there is
a fault. The transmission is interrupted to
prevent the vehicle from accidentally mov-
ing. Follow the procedure below in order for
the lever lock to engage again:
–
With a 6-speed gearbox: press the
brake pedal and release it again.
–
With a 7-speed gearbox: press the
brake pedal. Move the lever to posi-
tion P or N and subsequently engage a
gear.
●
Despite a gear being engaged, the vehi-
cle does not move forwards or back. Pro-
ceed to the next mode:
–
When the vehicle does not move in the
required direction, the system may not
have the gear range correctly engag-
ed. Press the brake pedal and engage
the gear range again.
–
If the vehicle still does not move in the
required direction, there is a system
malfunction. Seek specialist assistance
and have the system checked.

Steering wheel: automatic transmis-
sion levers
Tiptronic gives the driver the option to
change gears manually.
When you change to the Tiptronic pro-
gramme, the vehicle remains in the currently
selected gear. This is possible as long as the

Driving
system is not changing gear automatically
due to a traffic situation.
Using Tiptronic with the selector lever
It is possible to change to Tiptronic mode,
both when the vehicle is stopped and while
driving.
●
Starting from the
D/S
position, move the
lever to the right. The instrument panel will
show whether the lever is in manual or Tip-
tronic mode (e.g.
M4
).
●
Push the lever forwards
+
or backwards
–
to move up or down a gear
.
●
To exit Tiptronic mode, move the lever to the
left.
Using Tiptronic with the steering wheel
paddles
The gearshift paddles can be used when the
selector lever is in the
D/S
or
M
(Tiptronic)
positions.
●
Press the gearshift paddle
+
to select a
higher gear
.
●
Press the gearshift paddle
–
to select a
lower gear.
●
To exit the Tiptronic mode, pull the right-
hand lever towards the steering wheel for ap-
proximately 1 second or move the lever to the
left.
If the paddles are not operated for some time
and the lever is not in the Tiptronic selection
position, it will automatically exit from Tip-
tronic mode.
CAUTION
●
When accelerating, if a higher gear is not
selected, it will automatically change
shortly before reaching the maximum per-
mitted RPM.
●
Also, if a lower gear is selected, the sys-
tem will not change until it detects that the
engine will not reach its maximum RPM.
Driving with an automatic gearbox
The gearbox changes gear ratios automati-
cally as the vehicle moves.
The engine can only start with the selector
lever in position
P
or
N
. At low temperatures,
below -10 °C (+14 °F), the engine can only
start with the selector lever in position
P
.
Driving down hills
Under certain circumstances it may be ad-
vantageous to use the Tiptronic mode to se-
lect the gear manually according to driving
conditions
Stop/Park
On level ground, just use the lever to engage
position
P
. On slopes you should first apply
the parking brake and then set the lever to
P.
This makes it easier to remove the lever from
position
P
when starting.
If the driver door is opened and the lever is
not in position
P
, the vehicle could move. The
following warning is displayed on the instru-
ment panel:
Gear change: selector
lever in the drive position!.
Addi-
tionally, a buzzer will sound.
Stopping on a downhill
Always
apply the brake pedal firmly to pre-
vent the vehicle from moving; if necessary,
apply the electronic parking brake
Do not
accelerate while a range of gears is
engaged to prevent the car from rolling
downhill
Starting off uphill with the Auto Hold func-
tion
●
Once you have engaged a gear, take your
foot off the brake pedal and gently press the
accelerator.
Starting off uphill without the Auto Hold
function
●
Pull on the electronic parking brake button.
218
Start and driving
●
Once you have engaged a gear, gently
press the accelerator and pull on the elec-
tronic parking brake button.
Back-up programme
If all the positions of the lever are shown over
a light background on the instrument panel
display, there is a system fault and the auto-
matic gearbox will operate in with the backup
programme. It is still possible to drive the ve-
hicle, however, at low speeds and within a se-
lected range of gears.
Driving in reverse
gear may not be possible
.
Kick-down
The kick-down system provides maximum ac-
celeration when the gear selector lever is in
the positions
D
,
S
or in the Tiptronic mode.
When the accelerator pedal is pressed right
down, the automatic gearbox will shift down
to a lower gear, depending on road speed
and engine speed. This takes advantage of
the maximum acceleration of the vehicle
›››
.
The upshift to the next higher gear is delayed
until the engine reaches maximum rpm.
WARNING
Observe the safety warnings
tor lever positions on page 217
.
●
Never allow the brake to rub and do not
use the brake pedal too often or for long
periods, as the brakes can overheat. This
reduces the braking power, increases the
braking distance or even causes a brake
system fault.
●
If you have to stop on a hill, keep the vehi-
cle’s brakes applied with the brake pedal or
parking brake.
WARNING
Please note that if the road surface is slip-
pery or wet, the kick-down feature could
cause the driving wheels to spin, which
could result in skidding.
CAUTION
●
If you stop the vehicle on a gradient, do
not attempt to stop it from rolling by de-
pressing the accelerator when a gear has
been selected. This could cause overheat-
ing and damage the automatic gearbox.
●
If you allow the vehicle to roll with the
lever in position N and the engine off, the
automatic gearbox will be damaged by
lack of lubrication.
●
In certain driving situations or traffic con-
ditions, the gears could overheat and be
damaged! If the warning lamp
lights up,
stop the vehicle as soon as you can and
wait for the gearbox to cool
›››
.
●
If the gearbox operates with the backup
programme, take the vehicle to a special-
ised workshop and have the fault repaired
without delay.
Launch-control program
The Launch-control programme enables
maximum acceleration from a standstill.
Condition:
the engine must have reached op-
erating temperature and the steering wheel
must not be turned.
The engine speed for Launch-control is differ-
ent on petrol and diesel engines.
To use the Launch-control you must discon-
nect the anti-slip regulation (ASR) through the
infotainment system menu
. The
warning lamp
will stay switched on or will
flash slowly depending on whether or not the
vehicle has a driver information system.
On vehicles with the driver information sys-
tem, the ESC lamp lights up permanently and
the corresponding text message
Stability
control deactivated
(temporary) appears
on the instrument panel to indicate the deac-
tivation status.
