Operation
Applying both the iner
ti
a mode
(= prolonged
section with less energy) and the switching
off using inertia (= shorter section without
the need for fuel) facilitates improved fuel
consumption and emission balance.
WARNING
If the inerti
a mode has been switched on,
take into account, when approaching an ob-
stacle and releasing the accelerator pedal,
that the vehicle will not decelerate in the usu-
al 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.
Note
Inertia mode i
s only available in eco (SEAT
Drive Profile*) driving mode.
The driver message Inertia is only dis-
played with the current consumption. In iner-
tia mode the gear will no longer be displayed
(for example “E” will appear instead of “E7”).
On downhill sections with gradients above
15 %, the inertia mode will automatically be
switched off temporarily.
Backup programme
A backup programme is in place if a fault
should oc
cur in the control system.
If all the positions of the selector lever are
shown over a light background on the instru-
ment panel display, there is a system fault
and the automatic gearbox will operate in
with the backup programme. When the back-
up programme is activated, it is possible to
drive the vehicle, however, at low speeds and
within a selected range of gears. In some ca-
ses driving in reverse gear may not be possi-
ble.
CAUTION
If the gearbox operates with the backup pro-
gramme, tak
e the vehicle to a specialised
workshop and have the fault repaired without
delay.
Clutch

box to cool with the engine at idling speed
and the selector lever in position P. When the

off, have the fault corrected by a specialised
workshop without delay. If the warning lamp
and the driver message do not switch off, do
not continue driv
ing. Seek specialist assis-
tance.
