Seat Ateca Owner's Manual page 224

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 system 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.
● 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.

Operation
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.
