Drive system and driving
Indication that the drive system is connec-
t
ed
The el
ectric engine does not gener
ate no-
ticeable noises neither when connecting the
drive system nor when it is running. Therefore,
it is not possible to recognise whether the
drive system is running based on the engine
noises. Instead, you can recognised that the
drive system is connected by the following
characteristics:
●
The needle of the power display located on
the instrument panel is position in
›››
page 57.
●
The lighting of the needles of the instru-
ment panel is on, regardless of whether the
exterior lighting of the vehicle is on.
●
The indicator lamp on the instrument clus-
ter switches on .
●
An acoustic signal sounds.
Connecting and disconnecting the drive
system at very low outside temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low (ap-
proximately -27 °C (-16 °F) and lower), the
high-voltage battery may freeze and not
work. Then it is not possible to connect the
drive system.
Once the temperature of the high-voltage
battery has risen sufficiently, the drive system
can be reconnected.
To ensure that the drive system can be con-
nected at very low outside temperatures,
SEAT recommends leaving the vehicle
parked in a place that is protected from
weather conditions.
Starting to move with the electric drive
system
●
Connect the drive system. When doing so,
press the brake pedal and keep it pressed.
●

page 152.
●
Press the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
Never leave the vehicle with the drive sys-
tem connected. The v
ehicle could suddenly
start moving or something unusual could
happen that could cause damage, fire or
serious injury.
●
Always switch off the ignition before
leaving the vehicle.
●
When leaving the vehicle parked or get-
ting out of it, always check that the selec-
tor lever is in the P position and that the
handbrake is applied and tightened.
●
When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure that all the doors, the windows, the
rear lid and the bonnet are completely
closed and locked.
Note
If the outside temperature is very low and,
therefor
e, the high-voltage battery is very
cold, the electrical driving and autonomy
may be limited.
Disconnecting the drive system
Perform the following operations only in the
order indicated:
●
St
op the vehicle.
