Start-Stop System - Seat TOLEDO Owner's Manual

If the driver fails to react to a possible colli-
sion, the system may brake the vehicle auto-
matically, by progressively increasing braking
effect driving to reduce speed in the event of
a collision. The system can thus help to re-
duce the consequences of an accident.

WARNING
The smart technology included in the City
Emergency braking function cannot defy the
laws of physics. The driver is always respon-
sible for braking in time.
● 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.

display is in colour.

Operation
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.
During driving, the City Emergency braking
●
function does not react to people or animals
or vehicles crossing your path or which ap-
proach you 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
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.
