Driver assistance systems
WARNING
The intelligent technology in the City Safety Assist system cannot change
the limits imposed by the laws of physics and by the system itself. The
increased convenience offered by the City Safety Assist system should
never prompt you to take risks. The driver always assumes the responsi-
bility of braking in time.
● The City Safety Assist function cannot, of itself, prevent accidents or
serious injury.
● The City Safety Assist system may carry out unwanted brake interven-
tions in complex driving situations, for example when a vehicle crosses
your path a short distance away.
WARNING
Incorporating the role of the City Safety Assist system in your driving be-
haviour may cause accidents and serious injury. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness.
● Always adapt your speed and the distance to the vehicles ahead in
line with visibility, weather conditions, the condition of the road and the
traffic situation.
● The City Safety Assist function does not react to people, animals or
vehicles that cross or move in the opposite direction in the same lane.
● If after switching on the City Safety Assist function the vehicle begins
to move, slow the vehicle with the foot brake.
CAUTION
If you suspect that the laser sensor of the City Safety Assist function is dam-
aged, switch off the City Safety Assist function. This will avoid additional
damage.
● All repairs to the laser sensor require specialist knowledge. SEAT recom-
mends visiting a Technical Service.
Note
● If the City Safety Assist function activates a brake, the brake pedal range
is reduced. This makes the brake pedal seem "harder".
● Automatic brake intervention by the City Safety Assist function can be
cancelled by pressing the clutch pedal, the accelerator pedal or by a correc-
tive intervention.
● During the automatic braking by the City Safety Assist function you may
hear unusual noises. This is normal and is produced in the brake system.
Warning and control lamps
The City Safety Assist function is switched on every time the ignition is
switched on. No special indication is produced.
If the City Safety Assist function is switched off, functions or there is an error
in the system, this will be shown by a control lamp on the instrument panel
display.
