Adaptive Cruise Control Acc - Seat Ibiza Owner's Manual

WARNING
The technology in the pedestrian monitoring
system cannot defy the laws of physics and
only works within the system's limits. The
driver is always responsible for braking in
time. If the pedestrian monitoring system is-
sues a warning, brake the vehicle immediate-
ly with the brake pedal or swerve to avoid the
pedestrian, depending on traffic conditions.
The pedestrian monitoring system alone
●
cannot avoid accidents or serious injury.
● In complex driving situations, the pedes-
trian monitoring system may issue unneces-
sary warnings and intervene unnecessarily in
braking, such as in main roads with turnings.
If the operation of the system is impaired,
●
for example, because the radar sensor and
camera are covered or have lost their set-
tings, the system may issue unnecessary
warnings and intervene inopportunely in the
braking.
The driver must always be ready to take
●
over the control of the vehicle.
Note
● When the vehicle is braked via the pedes-
trian monitoring system, the brake pedal be-
comes stiffer.
● Automatic interventions by the pedestrian
monitoring system on the brakes may be in-
terrupted by pressing the accelerator or mov-
ing the wheel.
Driver assistance systems
If the pedestrian monitoring system does
●
not work as described in this chapter (e.g. if
it intervening unnecessarily several times),
switch if off, contact a specialist workshop
immediately and request to have the system
checked. SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT
dealership for this.

Adaptive Cruise Control ACC*

Introduction
Fig. 162 Detection area.
The adaptive cruise control (ACC) is an exten-
sion of the normal cruise control system
›››
(CCS) .
The ACC function allows the driver to estab-
lish a cruise speed of between 30 and 210
km/h (18 and 150 mph), as well as to select
the distance required with regard to the vehi-
cle in front.
The ACC will adapt the vehicle's cruise speed
at all times, maintaining a safe distance de-
pending on speed.
When the vehicle is behind another one, the
ACC function reduces speed until it is the
same as the vehicle ahead, and maintains
the distance between both vehicles. If the ve-
hicle in front accelerates, the ACC will also
accelerate up to, at most, the programmed
target speed.
If the vehicle is equipped with automatic
gearbox, the ACC can brake the vehicle until
it stops completely if a vehicle in front of it
stops.
The distance should be increased on wet
roads.
Driver intervention prompt
During driving, the ACC is subject to certain
limitations inherent in the system. In other
words, in certain circumstances the driver will
have to adjust speed him or herself, as well
as the distance from other vehicles.
In this case, the instrument panel screen will
warn you to intervene by applying the brake
and a warning tone will be heard

WARNING
The intelligent technology in the ACC cannot
overcome the system's inherent limitations
