WARNING
The laser beam on the laser sensor can produce serious injuries to the
eyes.
● Never focus optical devices, i.e. a camera, a microscope or a magnify-
ing glass closer than 100 mm from the laser sensor.
● Note that the laser beam can stay active when the City Safety Assist
system is switched off or unavailable. The laser beam is not visible to the
human eye.
CAUTION
If the windscreen is dirty or frozen in the area of the laser sensor, i.e. due to
rain, mist or snow, the City Safety Assist system may subsequently fail to
operate.
● Always keep the laser sensor area free of dirt and freezing.
● Use a small brush to remove snow and a de-icer spray to remove ice.
CAUTION
A damaged windscreen in the laser sensor area may cause the City Safety
Assist function to fail to operate.
● Replace the windscreen if it is scratched, cracked or chipped by stones
in the laser sensor area. Only use a windscreen authorised by SEAT. Carrying
out repairs is not permitted (i.e. in the case of damage suffered in an impact
from a stone).
● When replacing the windscreen wipers, only use windscreen wipers au-
thorised by SEAT.
● Do not paint the laser sensor area on the windscreen, or cover it with ad-
hesives, or sedimentation, etc.
