Use of the cruise control could cause acci-
dent s

and severe injuries if it is not possible
to drive at a constant speed maintaining the
safety distance.
● Do not use the cruise control in heavy traf-
fic, if the di
stance from the vehicle in front is
insufficient, on steep roads, with several
bends or in slippery circumstances (snow,
ice, rain or loose gravel), or on flooded roads.
● Never use the CCS when driving off-road or
on unp
aved roads. A

Alw

ays 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.
● To avoid unexpected operation of the cruise
contr
ol system, turn it off every time you fin-
ish using it.
● It is dangerous to use a set speed which is
too high f
or the prevailing road, traffic or
weather conditions.
● When travelling down hills, the CCS cannot
maint
ain a constant speed. The vehicle tends
to accelerate under its own weight. Select a
lower gear or use the foot brake to slow the
vehicle. WARNING

Operation Fig. 191
In the windscreen: field of vision of
the Lane As s

ist system camera. Using the camera located in the windscreen,
the Lane As
s

ist system detects the possible
lines dividing the lanes. When the vehicle in-
voluntarily approaches a dividing line it has
detected, the system notifies the driver with
a corrective steering movement . This move-
ment can be over-regulated at any time.
No warning is produced with the turn signals
activated, given that the Lane Assist system
understands that a lane change is required.
Steering wheel vibration
The following situations can cause vibration
in the steering wheel and require the driver
to take active control of driving:
● When the limits of the very nature of the
sys
tem are reached. ●
When the max
imum rotational torque dur-
ing the corrective steering movement is not
enough to keep the vehicle inside the lane.
● When no lane is detected during the correc-
tive s
teering movement.

Operation
If the driver does not react to this, the system
al so al
erts the driver with a little shaking mo-
tion through the brakes and, if the vehicle
has it, activates the Emergency Assist func-
tion ››› page 218.
In vehicles without Emergency Assist, the
adaptive lane guidance function will be disa-
bled after the corresponding warnings to the
driver.
The lane assist system is active but it is not
available (the control lamp is lit up yellow)
● When driving at speeds below 65 km/h (38
mph).
● When the Lane Assist system does not de-
tect
the dividing lines of the road. For exam-
ple, in the event warnings indicating road
works, and snow, dirt, moisture or reflec-
tions.
● When the radius of a curve is too small.
● When no road markings can be seen.
● When the distance to the next marking to

g styles.
● If a turn signal is activated.
● With the stability control system (ESC) in
Spor
t mode or switched off. Side Assist PLUS
If the

vehicle is also equipped with Side As-
sist and the system is switched on, the driver
is alerted when changing lanes during a pos-
sible critical situation (level of information,
warning level) through a corrective steering
wheel intervention. This occurs even if the
turn signal is activated in the corresponding
direction. If the driver over-regulates the
steering wheel intervention, an additional
warning is given through a vibration in the
steering wheel. Note
● Bef

ore starting a journey, verify that the
field of vision of the camera is not covered

table on page 2
Traffic Jam Assist helps the driver keep the
car within its lane and to move in convoy in
case of traffic congestion or slow traffic.
Traffic Jam Assist is an additional function of
Lane Assist ›››
page 213 and combines Lane
Assist functions with Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) ›››
page 197. Therefore, it is essential
that you read these two chapters carefully
and note the limitations of the systems and
the information about them.
Operation of Traffic Jam Assist
At speeds of below 60 km/h (40 mph), Traffic
Jam Assist can maintain a (temporary) dis-
tance preset by the driver with respect to the
vehicle ahead and help stay within the lane
››› .
T o do thi

s, the system automatically controls
the acceleration, brakes and steering, and
slows down the vehicle if necessary until it
stops fully before a vehicle that has stopped,
before moving off again automatically.

Operation
Blind spot detector (BSD) with
p ark
ing assistance (RCTA)*
Introduction 

› ›
›
table on page 2
The blind spot detector (BSD) helps to detect
the traffic situation behind the vehicle.
The integrated parking assistant (RTA) helps
the driver when backing out of a parallel
parking spot and in manoeuvring.
The blind spot detector has been developed
for driving on paved roads. WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
b lind s

pot detector (BSD) with parking assis-
tance (RCTA) 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
vehic
le in front of you at all times to suit visi-
bility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
● Keep your hands on the wheel at all times
to be r
eady to intervene in the steering at any
time. ●
Pa

y attention to the control lamps that may
come on in the external rear view mirrors and
on the instrument panel, and follow any in-
structions they may give.
● The blind spot assistant could react to any
spec
ial constructions that might be present
on the sides of the vehicle: e.g. high or irreg-
ular dividers. This may cause erroneous warn-
ings.
● Never use the blind spot detector with rear
cr

oss 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-
rou
ndings.
● Never use the blind spot detector or the
park
ing assistant if the radar sensors are
dirty.
● The external rear view mirror control lamps
ma
y have limited functionality due to solar
radiation. CAUTION
● The r a

dar 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 possibly hav-
ing its functionality diminished.
● In order to ensure that the radar sensors
work
properly, keep the rear bumper free of
snow and ice and do not cover it. ●
The r e

ar bumper 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. Note
If the blind spot detector with parking assis-
t ant

does not work as described in this chap-
ter, do not use it and contact a specialised
workshop. Control lamps

driver
F

atigue detection will be restored when the
vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes,
when the ignition is switched off or when the
driver has unbuckled their seat belt and
opened the door.
In the event of slow driving during a long pe-
riod of time (below 65 km/h, 40 mph) the
system automatically re-establishes the tired-
ness calculation. When driving at a faster
speed the driving behaviour will be recalcula-
ted.
Park Assist*
Introduction 

› ›
›
table on page 2
The Park Assist system is an additional func-
tion of ParkPilot ›››
page 239 and helps the
driver to:
● find a suitable parking space,
● select a parking mode, ●
park

driving in reverse in suitable perpen-
dicular and parallel spaces,
● park driving forwards in suitable perpen-
dicu
lar spaces,
● exit a parking space driving forwards from
a par
allel space.
In vehicles with a Park Assist system and fac-
tory radio the front, rear and side areas are
represented, and the position of obstacles is
shown relative to the vehicle.
The Park Assist system is subject to certain
limitations inherent to the system and its use
requires special attention by the driver ››› .
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
P ark

Assist system cannot overcome the lim-
its imposed by the laws of physics; it only
works within the limits of the system. The
greater convenience provided by Park Assist
should never tempt you to take any risk that
may compromise safety. The system is not a
replacement for driver awareness.
● Any accidental movement of the vehicle
cou
ld result in serious injury.
● Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times
to suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions.
● Certain surfaces of objects and garments
do not r
eflect the ultrasound sensors' sig-
nals. The system cannot detect, at least cor- rectly, these objects or people wearing such
c
lothe

s.
● Ultrasound sensor signals may be affected
by
external sound sources. In certain circum-
stances this may prevent them from detect-
ing people or objects.
● The ultrasound sensors have blind spots in
which o
bstacles and people are not regis-
tered.
● Monitor the area around the vehicle at all
times, s
ince the ultrasound sensors do not
detect small children, animals or certain ob-
jects in all situations. WARNING
Quick turns of the steering wheel when park-
in g or e

xiting a parking space with Park As-
sist can cause serious injury.
● Do not hold the steering wheel during ma-
noeuvr
es to park or exit a parking space until
the system requests it. Doing so disables the
system during the manoeuvre, resulting in
the parking being cancelled. CAUTION
● In c er

tain circumstances, the ultrasonic
sensors do not detect objects such as trailer
tongues, bars, fences, posts or thin trees, or
an open (or opening) rear lid, which could
damage the vehicle.
● Retrofitting of certain accessories to the ve-
hicl
e, such as a bicycle rack, may interfere 232

Operation
Special Characteristics
The P ark
Assist system is subject to certain
limitations inherent to the system. For exam-
ple, it is therefore not possible to enter or exit
a parking space on sharp bends.
While entering or exiting a parking space, a
brief signal sounds to prompt the driver to
change between forward and reverse gears. If
this signal does not sound, the gear change
will be indicated when the continuous signal
sounds (object at 30 cm) in ParkPilot.
When the Park Assist system turns the steer-
ing wheel with the vehicle stationary, the in- strument panel also displays the symbol
.
Pre ss down the brake pedal so that the turn
takes place with the vehicle stationary and
the smallest possible number of manoeuvres
take place in the parking space.
Trailer mode
The Park Assist system cannot be switched
on if the factory-fitted towing bracket
››› page 255 is electrically connected to a
trailer. After changing a wheel
If, af
ter changing a wheel, the vehicle stops
entering and exiting parking spaces correctly,
the circumference of the new wheel may be
different and the system may need to adapt
to it. The adaptation is automatic and takes
place during driving. Making turns slowly, at
less than 20 km/h (12 mph) may contribute
to this adaptation process ››› in Introduc-
tion on p ag
