or change the laws of physics. If used
negligently or involuntarily, it may cause se-
rious accidents and injuries. 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 visi-
bility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
● Do not use the ACC when visibility is bad,
on steep roads, with several bends or in slip-
pery circumstances such as snow, ice, rain or
loose gravel, or on flooded roads.
● Never use the ACC when driving off-road or
on unpaved roads. The ACC has been de-
signed for use on paved roads only.
The ACC does not react on approaching a
●
fixed obstacle, such as the tail of a traffic
jam, a damaged vehicle or a vehicle stopped
at the traffic lights.
The ACC only reacts to people if a pedes-
●
trian monitoring system is available. In addi-
tion, the system does not react to animals or
vehicles crossing your path or approaching
head-on down the same lane.
If the ACC does not reduce speed sufficient-
●
ly, brake the vehicle immediately by applying
the pedal.
If you are driving using the spare wheel,
●
the ACC could automatically switch off during
the journey. Switch off the system when
starting off.
● If the vehicle continues to move involuntar-
ily after a driver intervention prompt, brake
the vehicle by applying the pedal.

Operation
If the dash panel displays a driver interven-
●
tion prompt, adjust the distance yourself.
● The driver should be ready to accelerate or
brake by him/herself at all times.
CAUTION
If you have the sensation that the radar sen-
sor is damaged, disconnect the ACC. This will
avoid possible damage. If this occurs have it
adjusted.
Repairs to the radar sensor require special-
●
ist knowledge and special tools. SEAT recom-
mends visiting a SEAT dealership for this pur-
pose.
Note
If the ACC system does not work as descri-
●
bed in this chapter, do not use it until it has
been checked by a specialised workshop.
SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT dealership
for this purpose.
● Maximum speed with the ACC activated is
limited to 210 km/h (150 mph).
● When the ACC is switched on, strange
noises may be heard during automatic brak-
ing cause by the braking system.
