Seat Ateca 2018 Owner's Manual page 287

If the vehicle is equipped with automatic
gearbox, the ACC can brake the vehicle until
it stops completely if a vehicle in front of it
stops.
The distance programmed should be in-
creased when the road surface is wet.
Driver intervention prompt
During driving, the ACC is subject to certain
limitations inherent in the system. In other
words, in certain circumstances the driver will
have to adjust speed him or herself, as well as
the distance from other vehicles.
In this case, the instrument panel screen will
warn you to intervene by applying the brake
and a warning tone will be heard

WARNING
The intelligent technology in the ACC can-
not overcome the system's inherent limita-
tions or change the laws of physics. If used
negligently or involuntarily, it may cause
serious accidents and injuries. The system
is not a replacement for driver awareness.
Adapt your speed and safe distance to
●
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
Do not use the ACC when visibility is bad,
●
on steep roads, with several bends or in
Driver assistance systems
slippery circumstances such as snow, ice,
rain or loose gravel, or on flooded roads.
Never use the ACC when driving off-road
●
or on unpaved roads. The ACC has been
designed 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 stop-
ped at the traffic lights.
The ACC only reacts to people if a pe-
●
destrian monitoring system is available. In
addition, the system does not react to ani-
mals or vehicles crossing your path or ap-
proaching head-on down the same lane.
If the ACC does not reduce speed suffi-
●
ciently, 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 involun-
●
tarily after a driver intervention prompt,
brake the vehicle by applying the pedal.
If the dash panel displays a driver inter-
●
vention prompt, adjust the distance your-
self.
The driver should be ready to accelerate
●
or brake by him/herself at all times.
CAUTION
If you have the sensation that the radar
sensor is damaged, disconnect the ACC.
This will avoid possible damage. If this oc-
curs have it adjusted.
Repairs to the radar sensor require spe-
●
cialist knowledge and special tools. SEAT
recommends visiting a SEAT dealership for
this purpose.
Note
If the ACC system does not work as de-
●
scribed in this chapter, do not use it until it
has been checked by a specialised work-
shop. SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT
dealership for this purpose.
Maximum speed with the ACC activated
●
is limited to 210 km/h (130 mph).
When the ACC is switched on, strange
●
noises may be heard during automatic
braking cause by the braking system.
Symbols on the instrument panel
display and control lamps
The speed reduction by the ACC
 to maintain the distance from the
vehicle in front is not sufficient.
Brake! apply the foot brake! Driver intervention
