The new generation SEAT models have something in common. They are built with the very lat­est in active and passive safety systems. Ideal features for added confidence. Passive safety technology is designed to protect you and your passengers in the event of an accident. Active safety systems enable you to steer clear of trouble in the first place. Together, they help to ensure that your pulse quickens only when it’s supposed to.   Active Safety The appeal of the New Cordoba is well-founded. It leaves nothing to chance. All scenarios have been considered to ensure your safety. The Emergency Brake Assistance (EBA) activates in case of emergency stops or sudden, jerky manoeuvres. The Traction Control Sys­tem (TCS) keeps your wheels in contact with the road for dynamic efficiency. The latest generation of ABS delivers maximum braking power from the shortest pedal movement. Looking after your every movement is the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP). This virtual supervisor monitors information received from the steering wheels, tyres, breaks and accelerator, then uses the data to make any necessary adjustments. Rain, ice, steep curves, bumpy roads. Your drive is steady and focused.   Passive Safety Less obvious, but priceless. The New Cordoba comes with both driver and passenger standard airbags. Curtain and side airbags are also avail­able. Pre-tensioned seatbelts are activated by abrupt braking, easing the belt’s tension to prevent injuries. The Dynamic Steering Response (DSR) signals the steering wheel each time it runs off course. Isofix with 4 points enable two child seats to be anchored direct­ly to the chassis. Comfort The New Cordoba looks and feels comfortable. Equipped with a multi-function steering wheel, you have fingertip control over a CD/MP3 player (a six CD changer is also available, as are six speakers). Height and reach adjustable steering wheel and new gear-shift knob make you feel in charge.     The New Cordoba’s Dynamic Navigation System features real-time updates, while the cruise control kicks in with the help of the on-board computer. Adding to your comfort, the Climatronic fine-tunes the temperature to the last degree, and even includes a pollen filter.   As for leg room, the New Cordoba redefines the term. Front seats are height-adjustable, heated and conveniently fitted with seatback pockets. Splitfolding rear seats provide extra boot space. Headrests are height-adjustable, while the front ones also rotate for an ultra-snug fit. With easy to reachcup-holders, you are ready for take off.   Environment Environmental protection plays a key role at every stage in the life of a SEAT vehicle. Being competitive goes hand-in-hand with responsibility. From the materials we use to our production processes, the way our cars drive and how they are recycled, you can feel confident each aspect is in tune with environmental protection.
