The radar can have a range of up to 120m
(400ft) depending on road and weather con-
ditions.

WARNING

The visibility of the radar sensor can be im-
paired by dirt or environmental influences
such as rain, fog, snow, mud, dust, insects
etc. In this case the Front Assist and ACC
functions may stop working. The instrument
panel displays the following message:

sensor vision!

And the Front Assist un-

available or ACC unavailable warning
lights come on.

●

Clean the sensor area on the bumper as

indicated in

›››

terior

. When the radar sensor starts cor-

rectly detecting again, the message disap-
pears from the screen and the functions
become available again.

CAUTION

●

If the radar sensor is dirty or poorly ad-

justed, the Front Assist system may give un-
necessary warnings and apply the brakes
inappropriately.

●

The operation of the radar can be affec-

ted by strong reflections of the emitted sig-
nal. This may occur, for example, in an en-
closed car park or due to the presence of
metallic objects (e.g. guard rails or sheets
used in road works).

●

The sensor may not be adjusted correct-

ly if it receives an impact. This may com-
promise the system's efficacy or discon-
nect it. If you have the feeling that the ra-
dar sensor is damaged or adjusted incor-
rectly, switch off the Front Assist and ACC
functions to avoid any damage. If this oc-
curs have it adjusted.

Automatic deactivation of supported func-
tions

The rear radar sensors deactivate automati-
cally when, among other reasons, one of the
sensors is detected to be permanently cov-
ered. This may be the case if, for example,
there is a layer of snow or ice over one of the
sensors.

The relevant text message will appear in the
dash panel display.

CAUTION

●

The radar sensors on the rear bumper

may be damaged or shifted in the event of
a collision, for example, when entering or
exiting a parking space. This may result in
the system disconnecting itself, or at least
possibly having 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 rear bumper should only be painted

with paint authorised by SEAT. The lane de-
parture warning's functions may be limited
or work incorrectly if other paints are used.

241

Driving

●

The visibility of radar sensors may be af-

fected due to leaves, snow, strong haze or
dirt, among others. Clean the area in front
of the sensors.

●

Never use the lane departure warning,

the rear cross traffic alert or the door
opening warning if the radar sensors are
dirty.

Ultrasound sensors

CAUTION

●

Damage to the radiator grille, bumper,

wheel arch and vehicle underbody can
modify the orientation of the sensors. This
can affect the parking aid function. Have
the function checked by a specialised
workshop.

●

A number plate or number plate holder

with dimensions that exceed the space for
the number plate, or a cured or deformed
number plate can cause false detections or
a loss of visibility for the sensors.

Note

●

In order to guarantee good operation,

keep the sensors clean, free of snow and
ice, and do not cover them with stickers or
other objects.

●

If you use high-pressure or vapour equip-

ment for cleaning, do not apply it directly,
unless you do so very briefly, and always
keep a distance of more than 10 cm away.

●

Fitting certain accessories to the front of

the vehicle, such as a plate holder with ad-
vertising, may interfere with the operation
of the Park Assist.

Cruise control system (CCS)

Introduction

The cruise control system (GRA) helps main-
tain a constant speed set by you.

Speed range

The cruise control system is available when
driving in forward gear at a speed of over ap-
prox. 20 km/h (15 mph).

242

Driver assistance systems

Temporarily switching off the cruise con-
trol

The saved speed can be exceeded at any
time, e.g. for overtaking. The cruise control is
suspended during acceleration and is then
resumed with the saved speed.

Status display

When the cruise control system is switched
on, the instrument cluster display shows the
saved speed and the system status:



It lights up grey

The cruise control system is switched on, but regula-
tion is not active.



It lights up green

The cruise control system is switched on and regula-

tion is active.

If there is no speed saved, the instrument
cluster display shows



instead of speed.

Changing gears

As soon as the clutch pedal is depressed,
regulation is suspended and resumes once
the gear change has been made.

Driving down slopes

Shift into a low gear before descending a
long hill. This makes use of engine braking
and relieves the brakes.

WARNING

If it is impossible to drive with sufficient
braking distance and at a constant speed,
using the cruise control system may cause
accidents and serious injuries may occur.

●

Do not use Travel Assist when visibility is

bad, on steep roads, on windy roads or in
slippery circumstances (such as snow, ice,
rain or loose gravel), or on flooded roads.

●

Only use the cruise control system on

paved roads with a firm surface.

●

Adapt your speed and safety distance to

the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
the visibility, weather, road and traffic con-
ditions.

●

After use, always switch off the speed

limiter to prevent the speed being regula-
ted against your wishes.

●

It is dangerous to use a set speed which is

too high for the prevailing road, traffic or
weather conditions.

Speed limiter

Introduction

The speed limited helps the driver not to ex-
ceed a set speed.



Speed range

The speed limiter helps avoid exceeding a
programmed speed, from 30 km/h (20 mph)
approx. and faster.

By selecting the speed limiter

The speed limitation can be interrupted at
any time by depressing the accelerator ped-
al fully, beyond the point of resistance. As
soon as the saved speed is exceeded, the
green indicator light flashes and an audible
warning signal sounds. The speed is stored.

The limiter is reactivated automatically after
returning to less than the set speed.

Status display

When the speed limiter is switched on, the in-
strument cluster display shows the saved
speed and the system status:

●

The speed limiter does not relieve the

driver of their responsibility to drive at the
appropriate speed. Do not drive at high
speed if not necessary.

●

Using the speed limiter under adverse

weather conditions is dangerous and can
cause serious accidents, e.g. aquaplaning,
snow, ice, leaves, etc. Only use the speed
limiter when the status of the road and the
weather conditions allow it.

Emergency brake assistance
system (Front Assist)

Introduction

The objective of the system is to prevent
head-on collisions against objects that may
be in the vehicle’s path or minimise the con-
sequences of such impacts.

The function is designed to avoid collisions
against:

●

Parked vehicles.

●

Vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists that are

travelling in the same lane and direction.

●

Pedestrians and cyclists who transversely

cross the vehicle path.

The Front Assist records the mentioned ob-
jects by means of a camera on the top of the
windscreen and a radar sensor on the front of
the vehicle

›››

page 240

Depending on several factors and how criti-
cal the situation is, the system operates in a
staggered manner.

First informing the driver, and if there is no or
insufficient reaction, then activating an au-
tonomous emergency braking or an evasive
manoeuvre as indicated by the conditions
that will be discussed in the following points.

The system can be cancelled if the accelera-
tor pedal is pressed or the steering wheel is
turned firmly.

Depending on the equipment and the coun-
try, the Front Assist also includes the following
functions:

●

Pedestrian protection

›››

page 247

●

Cyclist protection

›››

page 247

●

Dodge assist

›››

page 247

●

Turn assist

›››

page 248

WARNING

●

Front Assist is a driving assistance func-

tion that can never replace the driver’s at-
tention.

●

Front Assist cannot change the laws of

physics or replace the driver in terms of
keeping control of the vehicle and reacting
to a possible emergency situation.

●

Following a Front Assist emergency warn-

ing, pay immediate attention to the situa-
tion and try to avoid the collision where ap-
propriate.

Warning levels and brake assist

Fig. 179

On the instrument panel display: ad-

vance warning indications.

Front Assist is active between 5 km/h (3 mph)
and 250 km/h (155 mph). Depending on dif-
ferent conditions (vehicle speed, speed and
type of object recognised, etc.), some of the
stages described below are omitted to opti-
mise the performance of the system.

246

Driver assistance systems

Safety distance warning

If the system detects that you are driving too
close to the vehicle in front, it will warn the
driver with this indication on the instrument
panel display



The timing of the warning varies depending
on driver behaviour, vehicle speed and rela-
tive speed between both.

The safety distance warning is active be-
tween approx. 65 km/h (40 mph) and 250
km/h (155 mph).

Advance warning

If the system detects a possible collision with
the vehicle in front, it alerts the driver by
means of an audible warning and an indica-
tion on the instrument panel display



›››

Fig. 179

The warning moment varies depending on
the traffic situation and driver behaviour. At
the same time, the vehicle will prepare for a
possible emergency braking

›››

in Intro-

duction on page 246

When Front Assist is connected, the indica-
tions of other functions on the screen may be
hidden.

Critical warning

If the driver fails to react to the

advance

warning

, the system may actively intervene

in the brakes and generate a brief jolt to warn

the driver of the imminent danger of a colli-
sion.

Automatic braking

If the driver also fails to react to the

critical

warning

, the system may initiate independ-

ent emergency braking by progressively in-
creasing the braking in accordance with the
criticality of the situation.

Driver emergency braking assistance sys-
tem

If the driver, after the critical warning, starts
braking but the system detects that the brake
is not being applied with sufficient force, the
braking intensity will be increased. This brake
assist only occurs if the pedal is pressed firm-
ly.

WARNING

●

The system cannot prevent a collision,

although it can significantly minimise the
consequences by reducing the speed and
the force of the impact.

●

When the Front Assist causes a braking,

the brake pedal is “harder”.

●

Automatic interventions by the Front As-

sist on the brakes may be interrupted by
pressing the accelerator or moving the
steering wheel.

●

The Front Assist may brake the vehicle

until it stops completely. However, the

brake system does not halt the vehicle per-
manently. Use the foot brake!

Pedestrian and cyclist recognition

The system recognises pedestrians and cy-
clists who travel in the same lane and direc-
tion and pedestrians and cyclists who trans-
versely cross the vehicle's path.

Pedestrian and cyclist recognition technolo-
gy cannot exceed the physically prescribed
limits and works exclusively within the sys-
tem’s limits. The responsibility for braking al-
ways depends on the driver.

The pedestrian and cyclist recognition can
cause undesired warnings and braking inter-
ventions, e.g. with a hidden radar sensor or a
dirty camera field of vision.

Be ready to take charge of the vehicle at any
time.

The pedestrian and cyclist recognition oper-
ating speed range is lower than that of the
Front Assist.

Dodge assist

Dodge assist helps the driver avoid an obsta-
cle in critical conditions.

247

Driving

Once the Front Assist has activated a critical
warning, if the driver intends on dodging the
object, the dodge assist will help correct the
trajectory. The driver must start and finish the
manoeuvre, as this is an assistance system
and not an autonomous one.

Front Assist is active between approx. 30
km/h (20 mph) and 150 km/h (90 mph).

Limitations

This system does not react to objects that
cross transversely or to animals. The basic
limitations of the Front Assist must also be
taken into account

›››

page 248

Turn assist

Turn assist can avoid a collision with a vehicle
approaching in the opposite direction, by
braking the vehicle itself when the intention is
to turn.

This system is active

up to 15 km/h

(9 mph).

Limitations

The turn-off assist function is available if you
have indicated your intention to turn by acti-
vating the turn signal, you have turned the
steering wheel and the turning path has star-
ted.

It only reacts to vehicles that are in the path
of the vehicle (not to animals, people, etc.).

The basic limitations of the Front Assist must
also be taken into account

System limitations

Fig. 180

On the instrument panel display: ini-

tial system self-calibration indication.

Front Assist has certain limitations inherent to
the system. Thus, in certain circumstances,
some of the reactions may be inappropriate
from the driver's standpoint. So pay attention
in order to intervene if necessary.

The following conditions may cause the
Front Assist not to react or to do so too
late:

●

In the first few instants of driving after

switching on the ignition, due to the system’s
initial auto-calibration. During this phase, the
instrument panel screen will display the fol-
lowing indication

›››

Fig. 180

Unrecognised objects

●

Vehicles travelling outside the reach of the

sensors at close range from your own vehicle.

●

Vehicles that suddenly change to the lane

on which your vehicle is travelling.

●

Pedestrians that cannot be recognised be-

cause they are partially or totally hidden.

●

Objects such as walls, posts, fences, trees

or garage doors.

●

Loads and accessories of other vehicles

that protrude over the sides, backwards or
over the top.

●

Other vehicles crossing the vehicle’s path.

●

ACC - Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol

Introduction

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) maintains
a constant speed set by the driver. When
approaching another vehicle in front, the
ACC detects it and adapts the speed au-
tomatically, maintaining a distance set by
the driver.

Does my vehicle have ACC?

Your vehicle has ACC if it has a configuration
menu in the infotainment system

›››

and if it has the ACC function buttons on the
multifunction steering wheel

›››

Speed range

ACC regulates speeds between 30 km/h (20
mph) and 210 km/h (130 mph).

The ACC can brake vehicle until it stops com-
pletely before a vehicle that stops. If your ve-
hicle is fitted with a manual gearbox, you
should pay attention to gear changes. The
ACC could switch off if the RPM gets too high
or low.

Driver intervention prompt

ACC is subject to certain limitations in-
herent to the system. This means that
the driver will have to control the speed
and distance from other vehicles in cer-
tain situations. In this case, the instru-
ment cluster display

will tell you to in-

tervene

by applying the brake, and an

audio warning will be played.

Radar sensors

The ACC uses the front radar technology.
Read its maintenance instructions and infor-
mation about its limitations

›››

page 239



When E-Mode is activated in hybrid vehicles,

the ACC speed range may vary.

250

Driver assistance systems

WARNING

The ACC’s technology cannot overcome
the system's inherent limitations or change
the laws of physics. If used negligently or
involuntarily, it may cause serious acci-
dents and injuries. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness.

●

Always be prepared to brake or acceler-

ate.

●

If you press the accelerator pedal the

ACC will stop working. Therefore, it will not
brake or request any braking intervention.

●

Adapt your speed and safe distance to

the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.

●

Do not use the ACC in poor visibility, or

on roads that are steep, with lots of curves
or slippery.

●

Never use ACC when driving off-road or

on unpaved roads.

●

The system may not react in time to sta-

tionary obstacles (such as a traffic jam
queue), particularly at high speeds. React
soon enough to avoid a hazardous situa-
tion.

●

The system may not react to stopped ve-

hicles in the same lane. You must react ear-
ly enough yourself in this case.

●

The system does not react to people, ani-

mals or vehicles that are crossing or ap-
proaching in the opposite direction.

●

If you are driving with a spare wheel fit-

ted, the ACC system could automatically
switch off. Switch off the system when
starting off.

●

Brake immediately if the ACC does not

slow down enough.

●

Brake immediately when a driver inter-

vention instruction is displayed on the in-
strument cluster screen.

●

If the vehicle continues to move involun-

tarily after a driver intervention prompt,
brake the vehicle.

●

The brake pedal may move downwards

during braking. Be careful not to position
your foot under the pedal.

Note

If the ACC does not work as described in
this chapter, do not use it until it has been
checked by a specialised workshop. Visit-
ing a SEAT dealership is recommended.
