Driving
travelling in the same lane and direction.
It
may not activate in other hazard situations
›››
.
Front Assist is enabled between 4 km/h (2.5
mph) and 250 km/h (156 mph). Depending
on a range of conditions, some of the func-
tions described below are omitted to optimize
the behaviour of the system.
Front Assist is a driving assistance function
that can never replace the driver’s atten-
tion.
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 according to
other factors: driver behaviour and speed.
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
›››
.
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
›››
.
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 how
critical the situation is.
Driver emergency brake assistance sys-
tem
The system may detect that the driver is not
braking hard enough to avoid the collision. In
this case, it will increase the braking intensity.
The system cannot prevent a collision, al-
though it can significantly minimise the con-
sequences by reducing the speed and the
force of the impact.
WARNING
Observe the safety warnings
trol and warning lamps on page 86
.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
Following a Front Assist emergency warn-
ing, pay immediate attention to the situa-
tion and try to avoid the collision as appli-
cable.
●
If the Front Assist does not work as de-
scribed in this chapter (e.g. it repeatedly
intervenes unnecessarily), switch it off.
Have the system checked by a specialised
workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a
SEAT dealership.
●
Always adapt your speed and distance
away from the vehicle in front of you at all
times to suit visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions.
●
The Front Assist alone cannot avoid acci-
dents and serious injuries.
●
In complex driving situations, Front Assist
may issue warnings and intervene in brak-
ing unnecessarily.
●
If the operation of the Front Assist is im-
paired by dirt or because the radar sensor
has lost its settings, the system may issue
unnecessary warnings and intervene inop-
portunely in the braking.
●
The Front Assist does not react to animals
or vehicles crossing your path or ap-
proaching head-on down the same lane.
252
Driver assistance systems
●
The Front Assist does not react to pedes-
trians walking head-on in the same lane.
●
The driver must always be ready to take
over the control of the vehicle.
Note
●
When Front Assist is connected, the indi-
cations of other functions on the screen
may be hidden.
●
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 clutch, accelerator or moving
the 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!
●
If the Front Assist does not work as de-
scribed in this chapter (e.g. in intervenes
several times unnecessarily), switch it off.

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 period, a
status icon
is displayed.
●
If the Front Assist is switched off or dam-
aged.
●
If the radar sensor is dirty or covered.
●
On taking tight bends or complex paths.
●
Pressing the accelerator all the way down.
●
If the ASR has been disconnected or the
ESC activated in

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
254
Driver assistance systems
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 (mph).
If the vehicle is fitted with an automatic gear-
box, the ACC can bring the vehicle to a
standstill if a vehicle in front of it stops.
If your vehicle is fitted with a manual gearbox,
you must pay attention to speed and gear
changes. The ACC is deactivated if the
speed is too low (less than 30 km/h) of the
engine RPM is too low or high.
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
.
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 does not react to stationary
obstacles (such as a traffic jam queue). Re-
act soon enough to avoid a hazardous sit-
uation.
●
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.
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.
1)
When E-Mode is activated in hybrid vehicles,
the ACC speed range may vary.

Changing the driving profile
In vehicles with SEAT Drive Profile
, the driving
profile selected can have an influence on the
ACC’s acceleration and braking behaviour
›››
.
In vehicles without SEAT Drive Profile
, the be-
haviour of the ACC can also be affected if
any of the following drive profiles are selec-
ted in the infotainment system in
Drive assist
.
ACC settings will be the same as those in the
SEAT Drive Profile.
WARNING
Before driving off, 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.
CAUTION
If you increase speed using the accelerator
pedal, the ACC may not be able to safely
adjust the speed of the distance due to the
limitations of the system.
●
Be prepared to react if required by the
situation.

Driving
Avoid undertaking on the right
If a vehicle is detected in the left lane that is
travelling at a speed slower than that set by
the driver, it will brake the vehicle within the
comfort limits of the system to avoid passing
it on the right
.
You can cancel this regulation by changing
the set speed or by pressing the accelerator
pedal.
The function works at speeds over 80 km/h
(50 mph). It may not be available in certain
countries.
Overtaking
When the turn signal is switched on for over-
taking, the ACC reduces the distance from
the vehicle in front to help with the overtaking
manoeuvre. The set cruising speed will not be
exceeded.
The function works at speeds over 80 km/h
(50 mph). It may not be available in certain
countries.

The limits of the ACC system mean that it is
not appropriate in all situations
SEAT does not recommend using the function
in the following cases
●
Heavy rain, snow or fog.
●
When going through tunnels.
●
In sections with roadworks.
●
On routes with curves, e.g. on mountain
roads.
●
On off-road routes.
●
In covered car parks.
●
On roads with embedded metal objects
such as train or tram tracks.
●
On roads with loose gravel.
Pay special attention when using ACC in the
following situations:
On curves
The ACC may not detect the vehicle in front
on a curve, or may regulate the distance from
vehicles in other lanes
.
Vehicles outside the sensor zone
In the following situations the ACC may not
react, or may react slowly or inappropriately:
●
Vehicles that are not aligned while driving
or that are outside the sensor's detection
area, such as motorcycles
●
Vehicles that move into your lane, a short
distance from your vehicle
.
●
Vehicles with loads or accessories that pro-
trude from the sides, rear or roof.
Objects that are not detected
The ACC function only detects and reacts to
vehicles moving in the same direction. There-
fore it does not detect:
●
People
●
Animals
»
259
Driving
●
Vehicles travelling in the opposite direction
or crossing the road.
●
Other stationary obstacles
The ACC does not react to stationary vehi-
cles. If, for example, a vehicle detected by the
ACC turns or moves over and there is a sta-
tionary vehicle in front of it, the ACC will not
react to the second vehicle
.
WARNING
Using the ACC in the above situations can
cause serious accidents and injuries, and
you could break the law.
Troubleshooting
ACC not available
The indicator lamp lights up yellow:
●
The radar sensor is dirty or adjusted incor-
rectly. Take into account the warnings descri-
bed at the beginning of this chapter
›››
●
There is a fault or a defect. Turn off the vehi-
cle's ignition and turn it on again after a few
minutes.
●
If the problem persists, consult a special-
ised workshop.
The ACC does not work as expected
●
Make sure that the conditions are met for
the radar sensor to operate properly
›››
.
●
If the brakes overheat, regulation stops au-
tomatically. Wait for them to cool down and
check the operation again.
●
Unusual noises during automatic ACC
braking are normal and do not indicate any
anomalies.
The following conditions may lead the
ACC not to react:
●
The accelerator or brake is depressed.
●
No gear is engaged or the vehicle is in gear
R
.
●
The vehicle is reversing.
●
ESC is operating.
●
The driver is not wearing his/her seat belt.
●
A vehicle or trailer brake light is faulty.
●
The RPM is too high or too low.
●
The parking brake is applied.
●
Driving on an excessive slope.
Proactive speed adjustment
Introduction
The proactive speed adjustment adapts the
speed to the speed limitations detected and
to the road layout (curves, crossings, round-
abouts, etc.).
Proactive speed adjustment is an additional
function of the ACC
and uses
the traffic signal detection system
›››
and the navigation data of the in-
fotainment system.
Proactive speed adjustment is available de-
pending on the equipment, although not in all
countries.
WARNING
The proactive speed adjustment smart
technology cannot overcome the limits im-
posed by the laws of physics and it only
works within the limits of the system. Never
allow the enhanced convenience of this
function induce you to take any risk that
compromises safety. If used negligently or
involuntarily, it may cause serious acci-
dents and injuries. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness.
●
Always adapt your speed to suit visibility,
weather, road and traffic conditions.
●
Always pay attention to traffic and al-
ways keep the vehicle environment in mind.
260
Driver assistance systems
●
Always be prepared to adjust the speed
yourself. If the traffic sign recognition sys-
tem is not working properly or the naviga-
tion data is not updated, the speed may
change unexpectedly and suddenly or may
not be suitable for the current traffic situa-
tion. In addition, the speed adjusted by the
system may not suit your driving style.
●
Always be prepared to adjust the speed
yourself. If you drive without any active gui-
ded route, if you leave the route calculated
by the navigation system or if the position
of the vehicle cannot be determined cor-
rectly because the GPS does not provide
accurate data, the speed may change un-
expectedly and suddenly or may not adapt
to the current traffic situation.
●
Always use up to date navigation data.
●
Always take into account the maximum
permitted speed. In the case of speed limi-
tations that are not included in the naviga-
tion data, the maximum permitted speed
may be exceeded.
Note
Also note the information related to the
ACC relevant to safety
.
Limitations of the proactive speed
adjustment
In addition to the limitations of the traffic sig-
nal detection system
and of the
limitations of the ACC, proactive speed ad-
justment has the following limitations inherent
to the system:
●
Proactive speed adjustment only recogni-
ses traffic signals that show a speed limita-
tion. The proactive speed adjustment does
not take into account, above all, the rules on
priority of passage or traffic lights.
●
On roads that are not included in the navi-
gation data, or that are included with little
accuracy, proactive speed adjustment is not
available.
●
If a speed limitation is notified based on the
navigation data without it being detected by
the traffic signal detection system, the indica-
ted speed will be adjusted to the speed that
was saved the last time.
●
Proactive speed adjustment is not available
for speed limitations below approx. 20 km/h
(approx. 15 mph). In this case, a relevant mes-
sage is displayed on the instrument panel
screen.

Note
●
When a speed limitation is recognised,
the proactive speed adjustment also
adapts the saved speed even if the ACC is
switched off. However, it will not adjust.
●
If the speed of travel considerably ex-
ceeds the speed limit detected by the traf-
fic signal detection system, a relevant
warning is displayed in the instrument pan-
el display.
●
In the event of joining a highway without
speed limitation, the recommended speed
is automatically saved as the desired
speed. If a higher speed has previously
been saved for a motorway without a
speed limit, this is used instead of the rec-
ommended speed.
Troubleshooting

Lane Assist
Introduction
The Lane Assist System helps the driver
stay in his/her lane within the physical lim-
its of the system. This function is not suita-
ble and is not designed to keep the vehicle
automatically in the lane.
Using the camera located in the windscreen,
the Lane Assist system detects the limits (lane
lines) dividing the lanes in which the vehicle is
travelling. If the vehicle gets too close to the
detected lane limits, the system alerts the
driver through a corrective motion of the
steering wheel. The driver can cancel the
steering corrective action 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.
System limits
Use the Lane Assist system only on large,
well-maintained motorways and highways.
The system is not available under the follow-
ing conditions:
●
The driving speed allowed is below approx.
55 km/h (30 mph).
●
The system has not detected any lane
lines.
262
Driver assistance systems
●
On tight bends.
●
Temporarily in very sporty driving situations.
WARNING
The intelligent technology in the Lane As-
sist system cannot change the limits im-
posed by the laws of physics and by the
very nature of the system. Careless or un-
controlled use of the Lane Assist system
may cause accidents and injury. The sys-
tem is not a replacement for driver aware-
ness or manoeuvres when driving.
●
Always adapt your speed and the dis-
tance to the vehicles ahead in line with visi-
bility, weather conditions, the condition of
the road and the traffic situation.
●
Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel so it can be turned at any time. The
responsibility of staying in the lane is al-
ways the driver's.
●
The Lane Assist system does not detect
all road markings. The road surfaces, road
structures or objects in poor condition can
be incorrectly detected as road markings
under certain circumstances by the Lane
Assist system. Immediately counter any un-
wanted intervention of the system.
●
Please observe the indications on the in-
strument panel and act as is necessary if
the traffic situation permits.
●
In the following situations there may be
undesired interventions of the system or it
may be that the system does not intervene
at all. In these situations, special attention
is required from the driver and, where ap-
propriate, the temporary deactivation of
the lane assist warning system:
–
In very sporty driving situations.
–
In adverse weather conditions and
roads in poor condition.
–
When passing through areas undergo-
ing works.
–
Before gradient changes of grade and
river beds.
●
Always observe the vehicle surroundings
carefully and drive proactively.
●
When the area of vision of the camera
becomes dirty, covered or is damaged, the
Lane Assist system function can be affec-
ted.

system or the driver assistance systems menu
after pressing the corresponding button. The
Lane Assist system can be activated and de-
activated in these menus.
The Lane Assist system is ready to actively in-
tervene as of approximately 60 km/h (35
mph) and if it has detected the lane limits
(system status: active). The control lamp
emits a green light. When the system inter-
venes by rectifying the direction, the control
lamp
emits a yellow light.
If the control lamp of the instrument panel
display is off, it means that the Lane Assist
system is connected but not ready to inter-
vene or it is disconnected.
When you activate a turn signal, the system
temporarily goes into a passive state in order
to allow manual lane change.
An energetic rotation or rectification of the
steering wheel by the driver causes the sys-
tem to temporarily switch to a passive state.
Driver intervention prompt
If the steering is not corrected manually, the
system prompts the driver through an indica-
tion on the instrument panel display and
acoustic warnings.
If no reaction is obtained from the driver, the
system switches to a passive state.
Regardless of the steering manoeuvres,
through an indication on the instrument panel
display and acoustic warnings, the driver is
also prompted to drive through the centre of
the lane if the steering correction lasts more
than reasonable.
Steering wheel vibration
The following situations may result in a steer-
ing wheel vibration:
●
The lane ceases to be recognised during a
sudden intervention in the direction of the
system.
It is also possible to select steering wheel vi-
bration in the
Assistants
menu of the infotain-
ment system. In this case, when a vehicle with
Lane Assist switched on crosses over a detec-
ted lane marking, the steering wheel will vi-
brate.

Driving Assist (Travel Assist)
Introduction
The driving assist (Travel Assist) combines
adaptive cruise control (ACC) and adap-
tive lane guidance. Within the limitations
of the system, the vehicle can maintain a
distance from the vehicle in front that is
preselected by the driver and remain in
the preferred position within the lane.
Travel Assist uses the same sensors as Adap-
tive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Assist.
Therefore, carefully read the information
about the ACC
›››
and the Lane
Assist
and take into account the
limitations of the systems and the indications
given in the information.

Driver assistance systems
Speed range
Travel Assist adjusts at speeds between ap-
prox. 30 km/h (approx. 20 mph) and approx.
210 km/h (approx. 130 mph); in the case of
the adaptive lane guidance function, be-
tween 0 km/h (0 mph) and approx. 250 km/h
(approx. 155 mph).
Driving with Travel Assist
Travel Assist automatically controls the ac-
celerator pedal, the brakes and the steering.
In addition, Travel Assist may, within its limita-
tions, decelerate the vehicle until it stops be-
hind another that stops and automatically
starts again.
You can override assisted adjustment at all
times.
How to know if the vehicle is fitted with
Travel Assist
The vehicle is fitted with Travel Assist if the
multifunction steering wheel has the button
Driver intervention prompt
If you remove your hands from the steering
wheel, after a few seconds the system asks
you to take over the steering with an indica-
tion on the instrument panel display and
acoustic warnings.
WARNING
The Travel Assist smart technology cannot
overcome the limits imposed by the laws of
physics and it only works within the limits of
the system. If Travel assist is used negli-
gently or involuntarily, it may cause serious
accidents and injuries. The system is not a
replacement for driver awareness.
●
Bear in mind the system limitations and
the indications regarding the control of the
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane
Assist.
●
Adapt your speed and safety distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
●
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.
●
Do not use Travel Assist offroad or on
roads where the surface is not firm. Travel
Assist has been designed for use on paved
roads only.
●
Travel Assist does not react to people or
animal or vehicles crossing your path or
which approach you head-on in the same
lane.
●
Brake immediately if Travel Assist does
not slow down enough.
●
Brake immediately when a braking mes-
sage is displayed on the instrument panel
screen.
●
Brake when, after an indication to brake,
the vehicle rolls without it being desired.
●
Keep your hands on the steering wheel at
all times, to ensure you have control over
the steering at all times. The driver is al-
ways responsible for keeping the vehicle in
its own lane.
●
If possible, do not wear gloves while driv-
ing. The system could interpret this as no
driving activity.
●
If driver intervention is requested on the
instrument panel display, immediately re-
sume control of the vehicle.
●
Always be prepared to adjust the speed
yourself.

Emergency Assist
How it works
Emergency Assist can detect whether
there is inactivity by the driver and can au-
tomatically keep the car within the lane
and stop it altogether if necessary. This
way the system can actively help avoid an
accident or reduce its consequences.
Emergency Assist uses the same sensors as
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane As-
sist. Therefore, carefully read the information
about the ACC
›››
and the Lane
Assist
and take into account the
limitations of the systems and the indications
given in the information.
If the Emergency Assist detects that the driver
does not perform any activity, it requests that
the driver take control of the vehicle. To do
this, it emits optical and acoustic warnings
and causes braking jolts. The seat belt is
tightened (depending on the equipment). The
system slows down the vehicle and keeps it in
its lane.
You can cancel the adjustment at any time
by moving the steering wheel, over-acceler-
ating or braking.
While the emergency assistant is in operation,
other road users are warned as follows:
●
The hazard warning lights are switched on
soon after.
The following happens as soon as the vehicle
stops:
●
The electronic parking brake is activated.
The Emergency Assist is only activated if the
following requirements are met:
●
The adaptive cruise control (ACC) must be
switched on .
●
The Travel Assist or the Lane Assist are
switched on.
●
The system has detected a road lane mark-
ing on both sides of the vehicle.
