seats: securing rings for the Top Tether strap.
Fig.2 Rear of front passenger seat backrest:
Top Tether belt anchor.
Child seats with a Top Tether system are fitted
with an additional belt for fastening to an an-
chor point in the vehicle. This anchor point is
located on the rear of the rear seat backrest
(identified with the symbol ) and provides
better retention ›››Fig.1.
The objective of this system is to reduce for-
ward movements of the child seat in a head-on
collision, to reduce the risk of injuries that may
be caused to the child’s head by impacting
against any element of the inside of the vehicle.
Use of Top Tether on rearward-facing child
restraints
Currently, there are very few rearward-facing
child restraints with Top Tether. The car seat
manufacturer's instructions for proper installa-
tion of the Top Tether should be read carefully
and followed.

Driving on slopes
Hill Descent Control (HDC)
✓ Valid for vehicles: with 4Drive all-wheel drive
The HDC function is activated automatically
when driving down a steep hill in Oroad
mode.
Hill Descent Control limits speed on steep
downhill gradients by automatically braking all
four wheels, helping the driver to maintain pre-
cise control of the vehicle on o-road gradients
without having to constantly apply the brakes.
The system works in both forward and reverse,
even if the N position is selected on the gear-
box. Keeping the anti-lock brake system active
prevents the wheels from locking.
In vehicles with manual gearboxes, the Hill De-
scent Control adapts the theoretical speed
without braking the engine below its idling
speed.
Hill Descent Control is available when the dash
panel display shows the message
.
Indicator lamps
Lights up white.
HDC is active.
Lights up grey.
HDC is on, but is not acting because the re-
quired conditions are not met.
After starting the descent of a steep hill at
less than 30km/h (18 mph) when the system
is on, the HDC will activate automatically if
neither the accelerator nor brake pedals are
depressed. The speed is limited to a minimum
of 2 km/h (1mph) and a maximum of 30km/h
(18mph).
At any time, the driver can increase or decrease
the speed within the above-mentioned limit by
depressing the accelerator or the brake. The
function is then temporarily interrupted while
the speed is being regulated and then activa-
ted again if applicable.
However, it is essential that the surface ensures
sucient grip. For this reason, the Hill Descent
Control will not fulfil its function when, for ex-
ample, descending a slope with a frozen or slip-
pery surface.
The Hill Descent Control intervenes automati-
cally if the following conditions are met:
●
The vehicle’s engine is running.
●
The Oroad driving profile has been selec-
ted. Driving at a speed below 30km/h (18mph)
(the message is shown on the dash panel
display).
●
The downward gradient is at least 10%.
●
Neither the brake nor accelerator pedal is de-
pressed.
The hill descent control is deactivated if the
gradient is less than 5%. The function can be
switched o manually in the infotainment sys-
tem using the > HDC function button.
WARNING
Always be ready to apply the brakes. Failure
to do so could result in an accident and in-
jury.
●
The hill descent control is only an auxiliary
system which in some situations may not be
able to brake the vehicle suciently when
going downhill.
●
The vehicle's speed may increase despite
the intervention of the hill descent control.

Cybersecurity
Introduction
What is cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity refers to measures that reduce
the risk of unauthorised access to vehicle func-
tions, data and control units via malware or an
attach over the Internet.
What are connectivity components?
Control units for data transmissions, interfaces
and media and diagnostic connections are
connectivity components through which data
and information can be exchanged between
the vehicle and external devices or the Internet.
Connectivity components that are not part of
the equipment of all of the vehicles particularly
include:
●
Connection socket for diagnosis.
●
Control unit with an integrated eSIM card
(OCU).
●
Telephone interface.
●
Full Link.
●
NFC wireless communication technology.
●
Bluetooth Interface®.
●
USB (connection).
●
Transreceiver module.
The connectivity components are key points
in cybersecurity. Connectivity components are
also fitted with security mechanisms that mini-
mise the risk of unauthorised third parties gain-
ing access to vehicle systems.
Security mechanisms
Software and locking mechanisms mounted on
the vehicle are being developed continuously.
As in the case of computers or mobile phone
device operating systems, software and locking
mechanisms mounted on the vehicle can also
be updated non-periodically. In general, soft-
ware updates improve the security, stability and
speed of execution of vehicle systems that have
already been manufactured.
Minimising risks
You can contribute to reducing the risk of un-
authorized third parties accessing the vehicle
systems and their functions:
●
Do not use data storage devices, Bluetooth®
devices or mobile phone devices that contain
manipulated data or malicious software in the
vehicle.
●
Immediately install the system updates provi-
ded by SEAT.
●
Only get vehicle repair and maintenance
work done at specialised workshops. SEAT rec-
ommends visiting a SEAT dealership for this.
WARNING
The risk of unauthorised third parties gaining
access to vehicle functions, data and con-
trol units through malware or an attack over
the Internet cannot be ruled out despite the
vehicle's security mechanisms. If malicious
software is introduced into the vehicle, it can
influence, deactivate or control the control
units and vehicle functions and cause serious
accidents and fatal injuries.
●
If the vehicle operates dierently than
usual or reacts or behaves strangely, reduce
speed immediately (where possible) in a
controlled manner and drive to the nearest
specialist workshop without delay, or seek
the assistance of specialist personnel.
●
Malicious software can also access data
and information stored in control units, the
infotainment system, connected data stor-
age devices and paired mobile phone devi-
ces.
WARNING
Computers, data storage devices and mobile
phone devices that connect to the Internet or
that are used on public or private networks
can be infected by manipulated data and
malicious software.
●
Protect your computer, data media and
mobile phone devices with a suitable anti-vi-
rus program and by taking widespread pre-
cautionary measures.

Over-the-air update
Introduction
Over-the-air updates allow you to always
keep your vehicle up to date, for example for
optimising functions and for malware pro-
tection.
1)
How can you find out when an over-the-air
update is available?
The available updates are displayed in the info-
tainment system.
If several updates are available for the vehicle
at the same time, one over-the-air update must
first be successfully completed before the next
one can be performed.
Note
It is in your own interest to complete updates
as soon as possible. If the controller repeat-
edly rejects the over-the-air update, it will be
necessary to visit a qualified workshop. SEAT
recommends using a SEAT dealer.
WARNING
In very rare cases, a control unit may not
function properly after an over-the-air up-
date. Malfunctioning of a control unit and the
vehicle can lead to serious accidents and fa-
tal injuries.
●
Reduce speed in a controlled manner if the
vehicle operates or reacts dierently than
usual while driving.
●
Contact a specialised workshop. SEAT rec-
ommends using a SEAT dealer.
WARNING
If the instrument cluster does not work after
an over-the-air update, you will not be able
to see instrument cluster displays, warning
lights, symbols or text messages. Driving with
an instrument cluster that does not work can
lead to serious accidents and fatal injuries.
●
Do not use the vehicle. Please contact the
SEAT customer care service.
NOTICE
If special modifications have been made to
vehicles outside the scope of SEAT's respon-
sibility (for example, for emergency service
vehicles or taxis), there is a risk that special
functions (e.g. the taximeter) may no longer
work properly after an over-the-air update.
●
Consult with your SEAT dealer before per-
forming an over-the-air update.
Note
●
Measures to improve performance or ef-
ficiency (e.g. engine tuning) that have not
been incorporated by SEAT may be deleted
after an over-the-air update.
●
Depending on the equipment, release
notes may appear once before or after an
over-the-air update. These release notes de-
scribe changes to the vehicle status. For re-
lease notes and more information on over-
the-air updates, please visit the website:

Return and scrapping of end-of-life vehicles
Information for the user
Information on the
EU chemicals regulation
REACH
In accordance with the European Chemicals
Regulation REACH, SEAT, S.A. has information
on the substances that may be contained in the
vehicle.
You can ask any SEAT dealer for this informa-
tion.
Return and scrapping of
end-of-life vehicles
End-of-life return
At the end of its useful life, your vehicle must
be recycled and disposed of in an environmen-
tally sound manner. For this reason, final vehicle
owners in the EU and in many other countries
are required by law to take their vehicle to an
authorised collection point, vehicle return cen-
tre or authorised dismantling facility.
SEAT already made the necessary arrange-
ments for this: an extensive network of vehicle
return centres is available throughout the EU
and in many other countries, where you can
drop
o your vehicle. If you meet the national
legal requirements, you can return your end-of-
life vehicle free of charge within the EU.
The vehicle return centre issues a recycling
certificate which serves as proof that the end-
of-life vehicle has been recycled correctly.
Information about the Vehicle Return Centres
can be obtained from your SEAT dealer.
Scrapping
The relevant safety requirements must be ob-
served when scrapping the vehicle or its in-
dividual components, e.g. airbag system and
seatbelt tensioners. Qualified workshops are
already familiar with these requirements. SEAT
recommends using a SEAT dealer.
SEAT S.A. is permanently concerned about continuous development of its types and models. For this reason we ask you to understand,
