WARNING
The intelligent technology in the ACC cannot
overcome the system's inherent limitations
or change the laws of physics. If used negli-
gently or involuntarily, it may cause serious
accidents and injuries. The system is not a re-
placement 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 does not react to people or animal
or vehicles crossing your path or which ap-
proach you head-on in 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 system could automatically switch
off during the journey. Switch off the system
when starting off.

Operation
If the vehicle continues to move involuntar-
●
ily after a driver intervention prompt, brake
the vehicle by applying the pedal.
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 160 km/h (100 mph).
● When the ACC is switched on, strange
noises may be heard during automatic brak-
ing cause by the braking system.
