Operation of Emergency Assist
Emergency Assist detects when the driver
ceases to perform any activity and repeatedly
requests that he/she regain active control of
the vehicle, through the use of optical and
acoustic warnings and by applying the
brakes.
If the driver continues to do nothing, the sys-
tem automatically takes over the accelerator,
brakes and steering in order to brake the ve-

Emergency Assist is actively adjusting, the
hazard warning lights come on
and the vehicle makes slight zigzag move-
ments in the lane in order to warn other driv-
ers.
If the remaining braking distance is suffi-
cient, if necessary the system slows down the
vehicle until it stops completely and auto-
matically switches on the electronic parking

WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
Emergency Assist cannot overcome the limits
imposed by the laws of physics; it only works
within the limits of the system. The driver is
responsible for driving the vehicle.

visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
● Keep your hands on the wheel at all times
to be ready to intervene in the steering at any
time.
● The Emergency Assist alone cannot always
avoid accidents or serious injuries.
If the operation of the Emergency Assist is
●
impaired, for example if the radar sensor of
the adaptive cruise control (ACC) or the Lane
Assist camera are covered or have lost their
settings, the system may intervene inoppor-
tunely in braking or in steering.
● The Emergency Assist does not react to
people or animal or vehicles crossing your
path or which approach you head-on in the
same lane.
WARNING
If the Emergency Assist Intervenes inoppor-
tunely, serious accidents and injuries may oc-
cur.
● If the Emergency Assist does not operate
properly, switch off the Lane Assist
›››
page 230. Doing so will also switch off the
Emergency Assist.
Have the system checked by a specialised
●
workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT
dealership for this.
