Automatic interventions by the Front As-
●
sist on the brakes may be interrupted by
pressing the clutch, accelerator or moving
the wheel.
The Front Assist may brake the vehicle
●
until it stops completely. However, the
brake system does not halt the vehicle per-
manently. Use the foot brake!
If the Front Assist does not work as de-
●
scribed in this chapter (e.g. in intervenes
several times unnecessarily), switch it off.
Have the system checked by a specialised
workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a
SEAT dealership.

Driving
On the front behind the SEAT badge, a radar
sensor has been installed to capture the traf-
›››
fic situation Fig. 255.
The radar sensor's visibility may be impaired
by dirt, mud or snow, or by environmental in-
fluences such as rain or mist. In this case, the
Front Assist does not work. The instrument
panel displays the following message: Front
Assist: No sensor vision!
›››
clean the radar sensor .
When the radar sensor begins to operate
properly again, the Front Assist will automati-
cally be available again. The message will
disappear from the instrument panel display.
Front Assist operation may be affected by a
strong radar reverse reflection. This may oc-
cur, for example, in a closed car park or due
to the presence of metallic objects (e.g. rails
on the road or sheets used in road works).
The area in front of and around the radar
sensor should not be covered with adhesives,
additional or similar headlights, as this may
negatively affect Front Assist operation.
If the front of the vehicle is not properly re-
paired or structural modifications are made
to it, for example if the suspension is lowered,
Front Assist operation may be affected. SEAT
recommends visiting a SEAT dealership for
this purpose.
CAUTION
If you have the sensation that the radar
sensor is damaged or has lost its settings,
disconnect the Front Assist. This will avoid
possible dangerous situations caused by a
system malfunction. If this occurs have it
adjusted.
The sensor may become damaged or
●
If necessary
lose its settings when knocked, for exam-
ple, during a parking manoeuvre. This may
compromise the system's efficacy or dis-
connect it.
Repairs to the radar sensor require spe-
●
cialist knowledge and special tools. SEAT
recommends visiting a SEAT dealership for
this purpose.
Clean away the snow with a brush and
●
the ice preferably with a solvent-free de-
icer spray.
