arning lamp lights up red.
There is a fault in the power steering.
●
St
op driving! Seek specialist assistance.
●
Do not allow the vehicle to be towed on its
own wheels.
Steering fault
The contr
ol lamp lights up or flashes yellow.
The steering is stier or reacts more sensitively
than usual.
The control lamp lights up and remains lit:
●
Restart the engine and drive slowly for a short
dist

control lamp remains on.
●
OR: the 12-volt battery was disconnected
and reconnected. Drive slowly for a short dis-
tance.
The control lamp flashes:
●
Turn the steering wheel slightly from one side

SEAT Drive Profiles
Introduction
The driver can use the drive profiles to adapt
various features of the vehicle's systems to
the current driving situation, the desired driving
comfort and an economical driving style. Some
of the systems that can be adapted are the
suspension, steering, engine and air condition-
ing.
Depending on the vehicle’s equipment, various
drive profiles can be selected. The degree of in-
fluence of the vehicle's systems on the dierent
drive profiles depends on the vehicle’s equip-
ment.
Engine
Depending on the profile selected, the engine
responds more quickly or smoothly to the ac-
celerator being pressed. When the Eco profile is
selected, the Start-stop function is activated.
In vehicles with automatic transmission, the
gear change timing is changed to put the
changes at higher or lower revolutions. The Eco
profile activates the Inertia function, thereby re-
ducing consumption. The rest of the driving pro-
files will activate the inertia use function when
the gear selector lever is not in the S position,
depending on how the accelerator pedal is re-
leased ›››page143. When the vehicle is turned
on again, the function is activated by default to
reduce consumption.
With manual transmission, the ECO profile
changes the gear change recommendations to
facilitate more ecient driving.
Adaptive chassis control (DCC)
The DCC continuously adapts the damping of
the suspension system to the characteristics
of the road surface and the driving situation
(speed, acceleration and steering wheel angle)
according to the selected driving profile. In the
event of a fault in the DCC, the following mes-
sage is displayed on the instrument cluster dis-
play> Fault: damping adjustment.
Steering
The operation of the power steering is modified
and adapted to the selected profile to oer the
best behaviour for each situation.
Air conditioning
Climatronic can operate in Eco mode, espe-
cially restricting fuel consumption.
