Depending on the specific instrument cluster display configuration of your Seat Leon, a helpful gear recommendation indicator appears to show precisely which gear should be engaged to optimize fuel consumption and efficiency.

On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, this gear recommendation is only displayed when you are actively driving in manual Tiptronic mode.

No recommendation prompt will appear if you already have the optimal gear engaged; instead, your current operating gear will simply be displayed continuously.

Information regarding the "cleanliness" of the particulate filter

When the vehicle's exhaust monitoring system detects that the diesel or petrol particulate filter is approaching saturation, the system's automated self-cleaning regeneration function will recommend the most appropriate gear to facilitate efficient filter cleaning.

CAUTION The gear change recommendation feature is strictly an auxiliary guidance function and must under no circumstances serve as a substitute for attentive, careful driving.

• The ultimate responsibility for selecting the correct gear, depending on current traffic and road circumstances, rests solely and entirely with the driver of the Seat Leon.

For the sake of the environment

Selecting the correct gear consistently helps to reduce fuel consumption and lower harmful emissions during everyday driving.

Note The recommended gear display automatically turns off once you exit tiptronic mode or return to standard automatic operation.
