Operation
●
Never u se the C
CS when driving off-road or
on unpaved roads.
● Always adapt your speed and the distance
to the v
ehicles ahead in line with visibility,
weather conditions, the condition of the road
and the traffic situation.
● To avoid unexpected operation of the cruise
contro
l system, turn it off every time you fin-
ish using it.
● It is dangerous to use a set speed which is
too high for the pr
evailing road, traffic or
weather conditions.
● When travelling down hills, the CCS cannot
maintain a c
onstant speed. The vehicle tends
to accelerate under its own weight. Select a
lower gear or use the foot brake to slow the
vehicle. Lane Assist system*
Intr oduction WARNING
The intelligent technology in the lane assist
sys t
em cannot change the limits imposed by
the laws of physics and by the system itself.
Careless or uncontrolled use of the Lane As-
sist system may cause accidents and injury.
The system is not a replacement for driver
awareness. ●
Alw a
ys adapt your speed and the distance
to the vehicles ahead in line with visibility,
weather conditions, the condition of the road
and the traffic situation.
● Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel so y
ou can turn it at any time.
● The lane assist system does not detect all
roa
d markings. In some circumstances, the
poor state of the road, structures located on
it or certain objects may be mistakenly recog-
nised as road markings by the lane assist
system. In such situations, switch the lane
assist system off immediately.
● Pay attention to the instructions on the in-
strument p
anel display and act accordingly to
its requests.
● Always pay attention to the vehicle's sur-
roundin
gs. Note
The lane assist system has been exclusively
developed f or driv
ing on asphalted roads. Note
If the lane assist system does not work as de-
sc ribed in thi
s chapter, do not use it and con-
tact a specialised workshop. Note
If you observe any system malfunction, have
the sys t
em checked by a specialised work-
shop. Control lamps

Driver assistance systems
Operation mode Fig. 219
In the windscreen: field of vision of
the l ane a
s
sist system camera. Using the camera located in the sun visor,
the l
ane a
s
sist system detects the possible
lines dividing it. When the vehicle involuntar-
ily approaches a dividing line it has detected,
the system will notify the driver with a correc-
tive intervention. It is possible to over-regu-
late the corrective intervention at any time.
If the turn signal is connected, there will be
no warning as the lane assist system under-
stands that you wish to change lanes volun-
tarily.
Steering wheel vibration
The following situations cause the steering
wheel to vibrate and require the driver to take
active control of the steering: ●
If the limits inher
ent to the system are
reached.
● If the maximum rotational torque during
the correctiv
e intervention is not enough to
keep the vehicle inside the lane.
● If during the corrective intervention by the
syst
em the lane is no longer detected.
Switching the lane assist system on or off
● Select the corresponding menu option us-
ing the butt
on for the driver assist systems
››› page 26.
● OR: activate or deactivate the system in the
menu Settings , sub-menu Assist sys-
tems , menu
Lane Assist ›››
page 26.
The “confirmation sign” indicates that the
driver assist system is switched on.
Automatic deactivation: the lane assist sys-
tem can be deactivated automatically if there
is a system malfunction. Control lamp
switches off.
The lane assist system is inactive (control
lamp lit in yellow)
● When driving speed drops to approx.
65 km/h (40 mph).
● When the Lane Assist system does not de-
tect the div
iding lines of the road. For exam-
ple, in the event of road works, and snow,
dirt, moisture or reflections.
● When the radius of a curve is too small. ●
When there is
no dividing line.
● When the distance to the next dividing line
is e
xcessive.
● When there are more than two lane mark-
ings
per lane.
● When the ASR is switched off.
● When the system does not detect any ac-
tive rot
ation of the steering wheel by the driv-
er during a prolonged period.
● Temporarily, in the event of very dynamic
driving.
● When the t
urn signal is connected. Note
● Bef or
e starting travel, verify that the cam-
era's field of vision is not covered ››› Fig. 219.
● Keep the camera window clean. Disconnect the lane assist system in
the f
o
l
lowing situations Due to the limits of the Lane Assist system,
sw
it

Operation
Blind spot detector (BSD) with
r e
ar c
ross traffic alert (RTA)
Introduction
›› ›
table on page 2
The blind spot detector (BSD) helps detect
the traffic situation to the sides and behind
the vehicle.
The integrated rear cross traffic alert (RTA)
helps the driver when backing out of a per-
pendicular parking spot and in manoeuvring.
The blind spot detector has been developed
for driving on paved roads. WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
blind s pot
detector (BSD) with rear cross traf-
fic alert (RTA) included cannot overcome the
limits imposed by the laws of physics; it only
works within the limits of the system. Acci-
dents and severe injury may occur if the blind
spot detection system or the rear cross traffic
alert are used negligently or involuntarily.
The system is not a replacement for driver
awareness.
● Adapt your speed and safe distance to the
vehicl
e in front of you at all times to suit visi-
bility, weather, road and traffic conditions. ●
Keep y
our hands on the wheel at all times,
and be ready to intervene in the steering at
any time.
● Pay attention to the control lamps that may
come on in the ext
ernal rear view mirrors and
on the instrument panel, and follow any in-
structions they may give.
● The blind spot assistant may react in the
face of
any special constructions that may be
present on the sides of the vehicle: e.g., high
or irregular protective fences. This may cause
erroneous warnings.
● Never use the blind spot detector with rear
cro
ss traffic alert on unpaved roads. The blind
spot detector with rear cross traffic alert has
been designed for use on paved roads.
● Always pay attention to the vehicle's sur-
roundin
gs.
● Never use the blind spot detector with rear
cro
ss traffic alert if the radar sensors are
dirty, covered or damaged. The system may
work incorrectly in these cases. CAUTION
● The ra d
ar sensors on the rear bumper may
be damaged or shifted in the event of a colli-
sion, for example, when entering or exiting a
parking space. This may result in the system
disconnecting itself, or at least having its
functionality diminished.
● In order to ensure that the radar sensors
work pr
operly, keep the rear bumper free of
snow and ice and do not cover it. ●
The re ar b
umper should only be painted
with paint authorised by SEAT. The blind spot
detector's functions may be limited or work
incorrectly if other paints are used.
● The external rear view mirror control lamps
may
have their functionality limited in the
event of solar radiation. Note
If the blind spot detector with rear cross traf-
fic al
ert does not work as described in this
chapter, do not use it and have it checked by
a specialised workshop. Control lamps
Control lamp in external rear view mirrors:
Lights up
Lights up once briefly: the blind spot detector is activa-
ted and ready to operate.
Lights up: blind spot detector has detected a vehicle in
the blind spot.
Flashes
The blind spot detector has detected a vehicle in the
blind spot and the turn signal has been turned on in the
direction of the detected vehicle

.
For vehicles that are also equipped with Lane Assist
››› page 220, a warning to switch lanes will also appear
even though the turn signal has not been engaged. 222

with a speed differential of approx. 10 km/h
(6 mph). If the vehicle is passing at a consid- erably higher speed, no indication will be
disp
layed.
The faster the vehicle approaches, the sooner
an indication will be displayed in the external
mirror, because the blind spot detector takes
into account the speed differential with other
vehicles. Thus even though the distance from
the other vehicle is identical, the indication
will appear sooner in some cases and later in
others. Physical limitations inherent to the system
In some situation
s the blind spot detector
may not interpret the traffic situation correct-
ly. E.g. in the following situations:
● on tight bends
● in the case of lanes with different widths
● at the top of slopes
● in adverse weather conditions »

Rear cross traffic alert (RTA) Fig. 224
Schematic representation of the rear
c r
o
ss traffic alert: monitored zone around the
vehicle being parked. The rear cross traffic alert uses the radar sen-
sor
s
on the r
ear bumper ››› Fig. 221 to moni-
tor the traffic crossing behind the vehicle as
it backs out of a perpendicular parking space
or as it is being manoeuvred, for example in
very low visibility conditions.
If the system detects that someone else on
the road is approaching the rear of the vehi-
cle ››› Fig. 224, an acoustic alarm will sound. ●
In vehic
les without ParkPilot a “gong” will
sound and a message will be displayed on
the instrument panel.
● If the vehicle is equipped ParkPilot, the
ParkPilot
acoustic alarm will sound continu-
ously.
Automatic braking to reduce damages
If the rear cross traffic alert detects that
someone else on the road is approaching the
rear of the vehicle and the driver does not
step on the brake, the system will engage the
brakes automatically.
The parking system helps the driver by auto-
matically engaging the brakes to reduce any
damage. The system will brake automatically
if the vehicle is reversing at a speed of ap-
proximately 1-12 km (1-7 mph). Once it has
detected that the vehicle has stopped, the
system will keep the vehicle stopped for ap-
prox. 2 seconds.
After automatically braking to reduce dam-
age, the system will not be able to automati-
cally brake again for approximately 10 sec-
onds.
You can interrupt the automatic braking by
stepping forcefully on the accelerator pedal
or the brake pedal in order to regain control
of the vehicle. WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
re ar c
ross traffic alert cannot overcome the
limits imposed by the laws of physics; it only
works within the limits of the system. Do not
let the extra convenience afforded by the rear
cross traffic alert tempt you into taking any
risks. The system is not a replacement for
driver awareness.
● The system should never be used in limited
vis
ibility conditions or complicated traffic,
e.g., in high-traffic areas or when crossing
multiple lanes.
● Be sure to always be aware of the vehicle's
surrou
ndings, since the system is not guaran-
teed to detect things such as bicycles or pe-
destrians in all situations.
● The rear cross traffic alert itself will not
brake the
vehicle to a complete stop. Using the blind spot detector (BSD)

ith rear cross traffic alert
(RTA)
The blind spot detector with rear cross traffic
alert can be activated or deactivated in the
“Assistants” menu of the SEAT information
system, or depending on the vehicle's equip-
ment, by using the driver assistance key loca-
ted on the headlight lever.
