Hi everyone!
I registered on this forum with the sole purpose of sharing with you the coolest feature that the Tarraco has - Launch Control!
What is launch control?
Launch control is an electronic aid to assist drivers of both racing and street cars to accelerate from a standing start (more on that can be found on Wiki . Basically it just gives you a very quick start from a complete stop (e.g. a traffic light). Usually only proper sports car have them, but Hurray to SEAT for putting this in :lol:
How to activate it?
1. Come to a complete stop.
2. Put the DSG gearbox into S (sport) mode (pull the gear lever back once when it's in D position)
3. Turn off Traction control system (ASR) (go into Vehicle settings --> ESC system --> ASR off
4. With your left foot press the brake pedal all the way down
5. With your right food press the accelerator pedal all the way down (there should come a sign in digital dashboard that Launch Control is Activated
6. Lift your left foot and release the brake pedal. You should be off to a flying start now :twisted:
I've only tested it on the 2.0 Diesel Tarraco with DSG (110kW). Probably doesn't work with manual gearboxes :roll:
You can find more info on the Tarraco users manual as well - Page 257
Have fun and stay safe!
