ACC - Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol
Introduction
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) maintains a
constant speed set by the driver. When ap-
proaching another vehicle in front, the ACC
detects it and adapts the speed automatical-
ly, 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).
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.
220
Driver assistance systems
●
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.

lect the distance level when connecting the
ACC from:
●
Very short, Short, Medium, Long and Very
long using the Infotainment system:
> Driv-
er assistance > ACC
.
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.

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.
●

224
Driver assistance systems
●
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
●
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.

Driving
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.
●
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.

Switching the lane assist system on or off
In some countries, the Lane Assist System is
always activated when the ignition is switch-
ed on. The connection status is shown in the
Assistants
menu of the Infotainment system
1
2
or the assistant systems menu after pressing
the corresponding button. The Lane Assist
system can be activated and deactivated 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.
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.
228
Driver assistance systems
●
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.

Side Assist with Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA)
Introduction
The lane departure warning (LCA) helps de-
tect traffic that is at the rear of the vehicle.
The rear cross traffic alert (RCTA) helps the
driver when backing out of a parallel parking
spot and when manoeuvring.
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into
the blind spot detector (BSD) with parking
assistance (RCTA) included cannot over-
come the limits imposed by the laws of
physics; it only works within the limits of the
system. Accidents and severe injury may
occur if the blind spot detection system or
the rear cross traffic alert are used negli-
gently or involuntarily. The system is not a
replacement for driver awareness.
●
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.
●
Keep your hands on the wheel at all times
to be ready to intervene in the steering at
any time.
●
Pay attention to the indicator lamps that
may come on in the external rear view mir-
rors and on the instrument cluster, and fol-
low any instructions they may give.
●
The lane departure warning could react
to any special constructions that might be
present to the sides of the vehicle, e.g. high
or irregular dividers. This may cause erro-
neous warnings.
230
Driver assistance systems
●
Never use the lane departure warning on
unpaved roads. The lane departure warn-
ing has been designed for use on paved
roads.
●
Always pay attention to the vehicle's sur-
roundings.
●
The control lamps of the lane departure
warning may have limited functionality due
to solar radiation.
Note
If the blind spot detector with parking as-
sistant does not work as described in this
chapter, stop using it and contact a speci-
alised workshop.

Control lamp of the lane departure
warning.
Control lamp in external rear view mirrors:
It lights up
It turns on once briefly: the lane departure warning is
activated and ready to operate, i.e. when activating
the system.
It lights up continuously: the lane departure warning
has detected a vehicle in the blind spot.
Flashes
A vehicle has been detected in the adjacent lane and
the turn signal has been engaged in the direction of
the detected vehicle
For vehicles that are also equipped with Lane Assist
›››
, a warning to switch lanes will also ap-
pear even though the turn signal has not been en-
gaged (Lane Assist “Plus”
›››
).
The control lamps light up when the ignition is
switched on and should turn off after approxi-
mately 2 seconds. This is the time taken for
the function check.
If there are no indications from the control
lamp of the lane departure warning, this
means that the lane departure warning has
not detected any other vehicles at the rear
area
.
When the exterior lighting is low, the intensity
with which the control lamps come on is dim-
med. The user can modify the intensity of the
control lamps with up to 5 levels in the info-
tainment system menu.
WARNING
Failure to pay attention to any lit warning
lamps and the corresponding messages
could cause serious accidents and injuries.
●
Never ignore the warning lamps or mes-
sages.
●
Carry out the necessary operations.

. The system does this by measur-
ing the vehicle's distance from other vehicles
and its speed differential. The lane departure
warning will not work at speeds of less than
approx. 15 km/h (9 mph). The system uses
optical signals in the external rear view mir-
rors to notify the driver.
The lane width is not detected individually,
but is rather pre-configured in the system.
Thus if you are driving in wide lanes or in be-
tween two lanes, the indications may be in-
correct. Furthermore, the system can detect
vehicles driving in the lane next to you (if
there are any), and can also detect station-
ary objects such as dividers, and thus give an
incorrect indication.
Indication on the exterior mirror
The control lamp provides an indication on
the corresponding side regarding the traffic
situation behind the vehicle, if it is deemed to
be critical. The control lamp on the left-hand
side indicates the traffic situation to the rear
left of the vehicle, and the control lamp on
the right-hand side indicates the traffic situa-
tion to the rear right of the vehicle
›››
.
In the case of retrofitted tinted windows or
windows with tinted film, the indications of the
external mirrors may not be seen clearly or
correctly.
Keep the external mirrors clean and free of
snow and ice, and do not cover them with ad-
hesives or other similar materials.
Lane assist Plus.
The Lane Assist Plus function can be used by
activating the
Lane Assist
and
Side Assist
functions. In this case its functions
are expanded as described below.
If the driver initiates a lane change manoeu-
vre in a potential critical situation:
●
The lamp flashes in the corresponding rear-
view mirror even though the turn signal has
not been activated.
●
The steering wheel vibrates to warn the
driver of the risk of collision.
●
torque is applied to correct the steering
and return the vehicle to its lane.

.
●
When passing another vehicle
with a speed differential of approx. 10 km/h
(6 mph). If the vehicle is passing at a consid-
erably higher speed, no indication will be dis-
played.
The faster a vehicle approaches, the sooner
an indication will be displayed in the exterior
mirror, because Side Assist takes into account
the different in speed compared to other ve-
hicles. Thus even though the distance from
the other vehicle is identical, the indication
will appear sooner in some cases and later in
others.
Physical limitations inherent to the system
In some situations the lane departure warning
may not interpret the traffic situation correct-
ly. I.e. in the following situations:
●
on tight bends;
●
in the case of lanes with different widths;
●
in areas with significant gradient changes;
●
in adverse weather conditions;
●
in the case of special constructions to the
side of the vehicle, e.g., high or irregular divid-
ers.
Rear cross traffic alert (RCTA)
Fig. 164
Schematic representation of the rear
cross traffic alert assistant: zone monitored
around the vehicle while leaving a parking
space.
Park Assist uses the radar sensors on the rear
bumper
to monitor the traffic
crossing behind the vehicle as it backs out of
a parallel parking space or as it is being man-
oeuvred, for example in very low visibility con-
ditions.
When the system detects a relevant vehicle
on the road that is approaching the rear of
the vehicle
›››
, an acoustic alarm
may sound if the relevance so requires it.
In addition to the acoustic alarm, the driver is
also informed by means of a visual signal on
infotainment system display. This signal is dis-
played in the form of a red or yellow strip at
the back of the image of the vehicle on the in-
fotainment system screen. This strip displays

approaching in transverse direction
Automatic braking to reduce damages
If the rear cross traffic alert detects that
someone else on the road is approaching the
rear of the vehicle and the driver does not
step on the brake, the system will engage the
brakes automatically.
The parking system helps the driver by auto-
matically engaging the brakes to reduce any
damage. The automatic intervention on the
brakes takes place when driving in reverse at
approx. 1-12 km/h (1-7 mph). After detecting
that the vehicle is stationary, the system
keeps it that way for around 2 seconds.
After automatically braking to reduce dam-
age, the system will not be able to automati-
cally brake again for approximately 10 sec-
onds.
You can interrupt the automatic braking by
stepping hard on the accelerator pedal or
the brake pedal in order to regain control of
the vehicle.
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into
the rear cross traffic alert cannot over-
come the limits imposed by the laws of
physics; it only works within the limits of the
system. The parking assistant function
should not tempt you into taking any risks.
The system is not a replacement for driver
awareness.
●
The system should never be used in limi-
ted visibility conditions or complicated
traffic, e.g., in high-traffic areas or when
crossing multiple lanes.
●
Be sure to always be aware of the vehi-
cle's surroundings, since the system often
fails to detect things such as bicycles or
pedestrians.
●
The rear cross traffic alert itself will not
brake the vehicle to a complete stop.
Managing the assist systems
Enabling and disabling the assist systems
The blind spot detector with parking assistant
can be switched on and off by accessing the
Assistants
menu on the dash panel display
using the steering wheel controls. If the vehi-
cle is equipped with a multifunction camera,
it can also be accessed by means of the as-
sistants systems key located on the main
beam headlight lever.
Open the
Assistants
menu.
●
Side Assist
●
Rear cross traffic alert
If the verification box on the instrument panel
or the infotainment system is checked
, the
functionality will be automatically activated
when switching on the ignition.
When the Side Assist is ready to operate, the
indicator turns on briefly on the exterior rear
view mirrors as confirmation.
When the vehicle is restarted, the last adjust-
ment in the system will remain active.
Trailer mode
Side Assist and the rear cross traffic alert are
automatically deactivated and cannot be
switched on if the factory-fitted tow-bar is
electrically connected to a trailer or similar
device.
As soon as the driver starts to drive with a
trailer connected electrically to the vehicle, a
message is displayed on the instrument pan-
el display indicating that the Side Assist and
the rear cross traffic alert are switched off.
Once the trailer has been unhooked from the
vehicle, if you want to use the Side Assist and

activate them in the corresponding menu.
If the tow-bar is not factory fitted, Side Assist
and the rear cross traffic alert should be
switched off manually when driving with a
trailer.

WARNING
●
When the ignition is switched on, the sta-
tus of the brake system and the brake as-
sist functions is automatically checked.
The control lights on the instrument cluster
light up briefly and then turn off again. If a
warning light stays on permanently, there
is a fault. Seek qualified technical assis-
tance immediately.
●
If the brake warning lamp
does not go
out or if it lights up when driving, the brake
fluid level in the reservoir is too lo so there
is a risk of an accident
. Stop the vehicle and do not drive on.
Obtain technical assistance.
●
If the brake warning lamp lights up
to-
gether with the ABS lamp
this could be
due to an ABS fault. When this function
fails, the rear wheels can lock up. Under
certain circumstances, the rear of the vehi-
cle may skid, with the danger of losing con-
trol. Stop and seek technical assistance.
Information about the brakes
New brake pads
For the first 200 to 300 km (100 to 200
miles), new brake pads have not yet reached
their maximum braking capacity, and need to
be “run in” first. However, you can compen-
sate for the slightly reduced braking effect by
applying more pressure on the brake pedal.
Avoid overloading the brakes while running
them in.
Wear
The rate of wear on the
brake pads
depends
a great deal on how you drive and the condi-
tions in which the vehicle is operated. This is a
particular problem in urban traffic and short
stretches, or with very sporty driving.
Depending on the speed, the braking force
and the environmental conditions (e.g. tem-
perature, air humidity, etc.) noises may be
produced when braking.
