radar sensor.
On the front behind the SEAT badge, a radar
sensor has been installed to capture the traf-

fic situation Fig. 177. This sensor can de-
tect vehicles in front up to a distance of ap-
proximately 120 m.

fluences such as rain or mist. In this case the

adaptive cruise control (ACC) does not work.
The instrument panel displays the following
message:
necessary, clean the SEAT badge area
When the radar sensor begins to operate
properly again, the ACC will automatically be
available again. The message on the instru-
ment panel screen will switch off and the ACC
will be reactivated again.
ACC operation may be affected by a strong ra-
dar reverse reflection. This may occur, for ex-
ample, in a closed car park or due to the
presence of metallic objects (e.g. rails on the
road or sheets used in road works).
The area in front of and around the radar sen-
sor should not be covered with adhesives,
additional or similar headlights, as this may
negatively affect ACC operation.
If structural modifications are made to the ve-
hicle, for example, if the suspension is low-
ered or the front spoiler is modified, ACC op-
eration may be affected. So structural modifi-
cations should only be made by specialised
workshops. SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT
dealership for this purpose.
If work is done incorrectly on the front of the
vehicle, the radar sensor could be damaged
or lose its settings, and ACC operation may
be affected. So repair work should only be

CAUTION
If you have the sensation that the radar sen-
.
sor is damaged or has lost its settings, dis-
connect the ACC. This will avoid possible
damage. If this occurs have it adjusted.
● The sensor may become damaged or lose
its settings when knocked, for example, dur-
ing a parking manoeuvre. This may compro-
mise the system's efficacy or disconnect it.
Repairs to the radar sensor require special-
●
ist knowledge and special tools. SEAT recom-
mends visiting a SEAT dealership for this pur-
pose.
Clean away the snow with a brush and the
●
ice preferably with a solvent-free de-icer
spray.
