Connecting And Disconnecting The Esc And Asr; Switching The Asr Off And On; Disconnecting And Connecting The Esc In “Sport” Mode - Seat Ateca 2020 Owner's Manual

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 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!

The ABS and ASR will only operate cor-

tyres. Any differences in the rolling radius
of the tyres can cause the system to re-

can make noises due to their operation.

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.
Connecting and disconnecting the
ESC and ASR
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 ASR systems.
The ASR function should only be switched off
in situations where traction is insufficient.
