Operation
Depending on the infotainment system in-
s t
al
led in the vehicle, the advance warning
function may be adjusted as follows:
● Ready
● Medium
● Delayed
● Deactivated
SEAT r
ecommends driving with the function
in “Medium” mode.
Switching distance warning on and off
If the safe distance with regard to the vehicle
in front is exceeded, the relevant warning will
appear on the instrument panel display
. In this case, increase the safe dis-
tance.
The distance warning may be switched on
and off in the Easy Connect system using
the button and the
S
ETUP and
Driv er a

page 27.
The system will store the setting for the next
time the ignition is switched on.
SEAT recommends keeping the distance
warning switched on at all times. Switch Front Assist off in the following
situation
s In the following situations the Front Assist
Monitorin
g
System should be deactivated
due to the system's limitations ››› :
● When the vehicle is to be towed.
● If the vehicle is on a test bed.
● When the radar sensor is damaged.
● If the radar sensor takes a heavy knock, for
ex amp
le in a rear collision.
● If it intervenes several times unnecessarily.
● If the radar sensor is covered temporarily
with some k ind of
accessory, such as an ad-
ditional headlight or the like.
● When the vehicle is to be loaded on a lorry,
ferry
or train. WARNING
If the Front Assist is not switched off in the
sit uation
s described, serious accidents and
injuries may occur.
● Switch off the Front Assist in critical situa-
tions. System limitations
Front Assist has certain physical limitations
inher
ent in the sy
stem. Thus, in certain cir-
cumstances some of the system's reactions may be inopportune or be delayed from the
driver's s
tandpoint. So pay attention in order
to intervene if necessary.
The following conditions may cause Front As-
sist not to react or to do so too late:
● On taking tight bends.
● Pressing the accelerator all the way down.
● If the Front Assist is switched off or dam-
aged.
● If the ASR h
as been manually disconnec-
ted.
● If the E
SC is controlling.
● If several brake lights of the vehicle or elec-
trically
connected trailer are damaged.
● If the radar sensor is dirty or covered.
● If there are metal objects, e.g. rails on the
roa
d or sheets used in road works.
● If the vehicle is reversing.
● If the vehicle over-accelerates.
● In case of snow or heavy rain.
● In case of narrow vehicles, such as motor-
bike
s.
● Misaligned vehicles.
● Vehicles crossing the other's path.
● Vehicles approaching in the opposite direc-
tion.

page 27. The City Emergency braking function picks
up, at s
peeds between approximately 4 km/h
(2.5 mph) and 30 km/h (19 mph), the traffic
situation in front of the vehicle.
If the system detects a possible collision with
a vehicle in front of it, the vehicle prepares
for a possible emergency braking ››› .
If the driv
er f
ails to react to a possible colli-
sion, the system may brake the vehicle auto-
matically, by progressively increasing braking
effect driving to reduce speed in the event of
a collision. The system can thus help to re-
duce the consequences of an accident.
Status display
Automatic deceleration by means of the City
Emergency braking function is displayed on
the instrument panel by means of the ad-
vance warning ››› Fig. 210 1)
. WARNING
The smart technology included in the City
Emerg ency
braking function cannot defy the
laws of physics. The driver is always respon-
sible for braking in time.
● 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. ●
The City Emer
gency braking function alone
cannot prevent accidents or serious injury.
● In complex driving situations, the City
Emergency
braking function may issue unnec-
essary warnings and intervene inopportunely
in braking, such as in work areas or if there
are metal rails.
● If the operation of the City Emergency brak-
ing fu
nction is impaired, for example, by dirt
or because the radar sensor has lost its set-
tings, the system may issue unnecessary
warnings and intervene inopportunely in the
braking.
● During driving, the City Emergency braking
function doe
s not react to people or animals
or vehicles crossing your path or which ap-
proach you head-on in the same lane. Note
● When the City Emer
gency braking function
causes a braking, the brake pedal is “hard-
er”.
● Automatic interventions on the brakes by
the City Emer
gency braking function may be
interrupted by pressing the clutch, accelera-
tor or moving the wheel.
● The City Emergency braking function can
brake the
vehicle until it stops completely.
However, the brake system does not halt the
vehicle permanently. Use the foot brake! »1)

The technology in the pedestrian monitoring
sys t
em cannot defy the laws of physics and
only works within the system's limits. The
driver is always responsible for braking in
time. If the pedestrian monitoring system is-
sues a warning, brake the vehicle immediate-
ly with the brake pedal or swerve to avoid the
pedestrian, depending on traffic conditions.
● The pedestrian monitoring system alone
cannot av
oid accidents or serious injury.
● In complex driving situations, the pedes-
trian monitorin
g system may issue unneces-
sary warnings and intervene unnecessarily in
braking, such as in main roads with turnings.
● If the operation of the system is impaired,
for ex
ample, because the radar sensor and
camera are covered or have lost their set-
tings, the system may issue unnecessary
warnings and intervene inopportunely in the
braking.
● The driver must always be ready to take
over the c
ontrol of the vehicle. 1)

table on page 2 WARNING
The intelligent technology in the Lane Assist
sys t
em cannot change the limits imposed by
the laws of physics and by the very nature of
the system. Careless or uncontrolled use of
the Lane Assist 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 it c
an be turned at any time.
● The Lane Assist system does not detect all
roa
d markings. The road surfaces, road struc-
tures or objects in poor condition can be in-
correctly detected as road markings under
certain circumstances by the Lane Assist sys-
tem. In such situations, switch the Lane As-
sist system off immediately.
● Please observe the indications on the in-
strument p
anel and act as is necessary.
● Always pay attention to the vehicle's sur-
roundin
gs.
● When the area of vision of the camera be-
comes
dirty, covered or is damaged, the Lane
Assist system function can be affected. CAUTION
In order to avoid influencing the operation of
the sys t
em, the following points must be tak-
en into account:
● Regularly clean the area of vision of the
camera and k
eep it in a clean state, without
snow or ice.
● Do not cover the area of vision of the cam-
era.
● Check
that the area of vision of the wind-
scr
een camera is not damaged. Note
● The Lane Ass i
st system has been exclusive-
ly developed for driving on paved roads only.
● If the Lane Assist system does not work as
desc
ribed in this chapter, do not use it and
contact a specialised workshop.
● If there is a fault in the system, have it
check
ed by a specialised workshop. 213

In the windscreen: field of vision of
the Lane As s
i
st system camera. Using the camera located in the windscreen,
the Lane As
s
i
st 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
syst
em are reached. ●
When the maximum r
otational 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 st
eering movement.

g and safety warnings WARNING
● The Re ar As
sist does not make it possible
to precisely calculate the distance from ob-
stacles (people, vehicles, etc.) and nor can it
overcome the system's own limits, hence us-
ing it may cause serious accidents and inju-
ries if used negligently or without due care.
The driver should be aware of his/her sur-
roundings at all times to ensure safe driving.
● The camera lens expands and distorts the
field of
vision and displays the objects on the
screen in a different, vague manner. The per-
ception of distances is also distorted by this
effect.
● Some objects may, due to the resolution of
the disp
lay screen - not be displayed in a sat-
isfactory manner or may not be displayed at all. Take special care with thin posts, fences,
rai
lin
gs or trees that might not be displayed
on screen and could damage the vehicle.
● The rear assist has blind spots where it is
not pos
sible to represent people or objects
(small children, animals and certain objects
cannot be detected in its field of vision). Mon-
itor the vehicle's surrounding area at all
times.
● Keep the camera lens clean, free of ice and
snow
, and do not cover it.
● The system is not a replacement for driver
awar
eness. Supervise the parking operation
at all times, as well as the vehicle's surround-
ing area. Adapt your speed and driving style
at all times to suit visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions.
● Do not be distracted from the traffic by
looking at
the screen.
● The images on the rear assist screen are
only tw
o-dimensional. Due to a lack of spatial
depth, protruding parts or holes in the road,
for example, are more difficult to detect or
may not be seen at all.
● Vehicle load modifies the representation of
the orientation lines
displayed. The width
represented by the lines diminishes with ve-
hicle load. Pay special attention to the vehi-
cle's surroundings when the inside of the ve-
hicle of the luggage compartment is carrying
