WARNING
●
Always adapt your driving style to the
traffic conditions.
●
Only use the Launch control programme
when road and traffic conditions permit, and
make sure your manner of driving and accel-
erating the vehicle does not inconvenience
or endanger other road users.
●
Make sure that the ESC remains switched
on. Please note that when the TCS and ESC
are deactivated, the wheels may start to
spin, causing the vehicle to lose grip. Acci-
dent hazard!
●
After moving off, the ESC "sport" mode
should be deactivated by briefly pressing the
button.
Note
● After using the Launch control programme,
the temperature in the gearbox may have in-
creased considerably. In this case, the pro-
gram may be out of service for a few minutes.
The program may be used again once the
cooling phase is complete.
● Accelerating with the Launch control pro-
gramme places a heavy load on all parts of
the vehicle. This can result in increased wear
and tear.
DSG automatic transmission Driving
Inertia mode
The inertia mode allows you to travel certain
distances without using the accelerator, which
saves fuel. Plan ahead and use the inertia
mode to let the vehicle roll.
Activation of the inertia mode
Condition: lever in position D, slopes of
less than 12% and speeds between 20 and
130 km/h (12 and 80 mph).
●
Gently take your foot off the accelerator.
The indication will be shown on the instrument
panel , the engaged gear and current con-
sumption will disappear and the word Inertia
will appear.
The gears will automatically disengage and the
vehicle will roll freely, without the effect of the
engine brake. While the vehicle rolls, the engine
runs at idling speed.
Stopping inertia mode
●
Press the brake or the accelerator pedal.
To take advantage of the engine's inertia mode,
simply remove your foot from the accelerator.
Applying both the inertia mode (= prolonged
section with less energy) and inertia discon-
nection (= shorter section without the need for
fuel) facilitates improved fuel consumption and
emission balance.
If the vehicle has SEAT Drive Profile
›››
page 173, the inertia mode can be acti-
vated in Normal, Eco and Individual modes.
In Eco mode, it is activated whenever the op-
erating conditions are met, regardless of the
smoothness with which the foot is removed
from the accelerator.
WARNING
●
If the inertia mode has been switched on,
take into account, when approaching an ob-
stacle, that the vehicle will not decelerate in
the usual manner: risk of accident!
●
When using inertia mode while travelling
down hills, the vehicle can increase speed:
risk of accident!
●
If other users drive your vehicle, warn them
about inertia mode.
NOTICE
The driver message Inertia is only displayed
with the current consumption. In inertia mode
the gear will no longer be displayed (for ex-
ample D or E will appear instead of D7 or E7).
NOTICE
The operation of the inertia mode in combi-
nation with hybrid engines can cause the
combustion engine to switch off.
