Tyre Monitoring Systems - Seat Alhambra Owner's Manual

DCC continuously adapts the suspension to
the condition of the road and current driving
conditions, according to the pre-set pro-
gramme.
Steering is also adapted in the "Sport" pro-
gramme.
Programme Driving recommendations
Adjust it to the most comfortable set-
ting, for example, driving on surfaces
"COMFORT" C
in poor condition, or making long
trips.

Select a program
● Switch the ignition on.
● Press the C  S button repeatedly until the
desired programme is displayed.
The "NORMAL" programme is active when
neither the C nor S buttons are lit up.
WARNING
Switching the dynamic chassis control sys-
tem on while the vehicle is in motion could
divert your attention from the traffic and
cause accidents.

Operation
WARNING
Adjusting the suspension can change driving
properties. Dynamic chassis control must
never lead to any kinds of risk.
● Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times to suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions.
Note
If the dynamic chassis control does not oper-
ate as described in this chapter, go to an au-
thorised workshop and request it be checked.
Note
In case of a fault in the dynamic chassis con-
trol, the buttons and will so indicate. A

fault could the affect driving comfort. Have
the system checked by a specialised work-
shop.

Tyre monitoring systems

Introduction
The tyre monitor indicator monitors the tyre
pressure of each wheel during driving using
the ABS sensors. The ABS sensors monitor
the tyre tread perimeter and vibrations of
each tyre. The tyre monitor indicator warns
the driver if it detects a considerable drop in
tyre pressure of one or several tyres while
driving. Loss of tyre pressure will be indica-
ted by the indicator  as well as an audible
warning and sometimes a text message on
the dash panel display. When you open the
driver door, you will find a label indicating
the tyre pressure recommended by the manu-
facturer for the maximum vehicle load for
each tyre approved for the vehicle in ques-
tion. By pressing the adjustment button on
the tyre monitoring indicator, you may
change the reference pressure for the tyres
so that the tyre pressure coincides with ac-

tual pressure

WARNING
Unsuitable handling of the wheels and tyres
may lead to sudden tyre pressure losses, to
tread separation or even to a blow-out.
● Check tyre pressures regularly and ensure
they are maintained at the pressures indica-
ted. If the tyre pressure is too low, the tyres
could overheat, resulting in tread detachment
or even burst tyres.
● Tyre pressure should be that indicated on
the label when the tyres are cold at all times

page 289.
● Regularly check the cold inflation pressure
of the tyres. If necessary, change the tyre
pressure of the vehicle tyres while they are
cold.
