table on page 2 Traffic Jam Assist helps the driver keep the
car w
ithin 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 196. 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 sy

stem automatically controls
the acceleration, brakes and steering, and
slows down the vehicle until it stops fully
when behind another vehicle that is stop-
ping. It then automatically moves off again
when the car in front does so.
Traffic Jam Assist is designed only for use on
motorways and wide roads. Therefore, never
use it in city traffic.
Switching Traffic Jam Assist on and off
If Lane Assist is on, ›››

Assist is switched on and off in the infotain-
ment system using the  button and theSETUP and

Checking and refilling levels
CAUTION
● Do not mi x
cleaning products recommen-
ded by SEAT with other products. This could
lead to flocculation and may block the wind-
screen washer jets.
● When topping up service fluids, make abso-
lutely c
ertain that you fill the fluids into the
correct reservoirs. Using the wrong fluids
could cause serious malfunctions and engine
damage!
● Not having windscreen wiper fluid reduces
vis
ibility through the windscreen, and leads
to loss of visibility in headlights in models
with headlight washer. Battery
