Emergencies
Note
The vehicle can only be towed if the elec-
tronic parking brake and the el ectr
onic

ted. If the vehicle has no power supply or
there is an electric system fault, the engine
must be tow-started

crease the wipe frequency.
5 W
Windscreen washer. The windscreen
washer function is activated by push-
ing the le

ver, and the
rear wiper starts simultaneously. WARNING
In cold conditions you should not use the
wash/wipe system unless you hav e
w

armed the windscreen with the heating

washer fluid could otherwise freeze on the
windscreen and obscure your view of the
road. CAUTION
If the ignition is switched off with the wind-
screen wipers active, they compl et

e their
wipe before returning to the rest position.
When switching the ignition back on, the
windscreen wiper will continue to operate
at the same wiping level. Ice, snow and oth- er obstacles on the windscreen may dam-
age the wiper and the windscreen wiper
motor.

ching it off
.Note
After the engine is switched off the radiator
f an may run on for up to 10 minut es, e

ven if
the ignition is switched off. It is also possi-
ble that the fan turns itself on once more if
the coolant temperature increases due to
the heat accumulated in the engine com-
partment or due to its prolonged exposure
to solar radiation. Electronic immobilizer
The electronic immobiliser prevents unau-
thorised persons fr
om driving the v
ehicle
.
Inside the k

ey there is a chip that deactivates
the electronic immobiliser automatically
when the key is inserted into the ignition.
The electronic immobiliser will be activated
again automatically as soon as you pull the
key out of the ignition lock. For vehicles with
the “Keyless Access” system, the key has to
be outside the vehicle.
If the following message is shown on the in-
strument panel display: SAFE , the vehicle
cannot be started.
The engine can only be started using a genu-
ine SEAT key with its correct code. Note
A perfect operation of the vehicle is ensur-
ed if genuine SEAT keys are used. Emergency starting function

If the br ak

erheat, f
or example on long
and steep descents, the ACC may be deacti-
vated temporarily. A message will be dis-
played stating this. In this case, adaptive
cruise control cannot be activated.
Cruise control may be reactivated once the
brake temperature has dropped. The mes-
sage will disappear. If the message ACC not
available remains on for quite a long time it
means that there is a fault. Contact a speci-
alised workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a
SEAT dealership. WARNING
If you do not pay attention to the Press
the brake message, the vehicle may mo v

e
and crash into the vehicle ahead. Before
driving off again, check that the road is
clear. The radar sensor may not detect ob-
stacles on the road. This could cause an
accident and serious injuries. If necessary,
apply the brake. Lane Assist*
Intr oduction Fig. 281
On the windscreen: field of vision of
the L ane Assist syst
em. Using the camera located in the windscreen,
the L
ane Assist syst
em detects the possibl
e
lines dividing the l

anes. When the vehicle in-
voluntarily approaches a dividing line it has
detected, the system notifies the driver with a
corrective steering movement. The purpose is
not only to warn the driver, but also to keep
the vehicle inside the lane. This movement
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. Control lamp
