Adapt your speed and safe distance to the
●
vehicle in front of you at all times to suit visi-
bility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
The City Emergency 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 function 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.
● The City emergency braking function only
reacts to people if the vehicle has a pedes-
trian-monitoring system. The system does
not react to animals or vehicles crossing your
path or approaching head-on in the same
lane.
Note
When the City Emergency braking function
●
causes a braking, the brake pedal is "hard-
er".
● Automatic interventions on the brakes by
the City Emergency braking function may be
1) Depending on the vehicle equipment, pedestrian
monitoring is not available in all countries.

Operation
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!
If several inopportune intervenes occur,
●
switch off the Front Assist and with it the City
Emergency braking function. Take it to a spe-
cialised workshop, SEAT recommends visiting
a SEAT dealership.
● If numerous unnecessary interventions oc-
cur, the City Emergency braking function may
switch off automatically.
