Traffic Jam Assist - Seat Ateca 2018 Owner's Manual

Always adapt your speed and the dis-
●
tance to the vehicles ahead in line with visi-
bility, weather conditions, the condition of
the road and the traffic situation.
Always keep your hands on the steering
●
wheel so it can be turned at any time.
The Lane Assist system does not detect
●
all road markings. The road surfaces, road
structures or objects in poor condition can
be incorrectly detected as road markings
under certain circumstances by the Lane
Assist system. In such situations, switch the
Lane Assist system off immediately.
Please observe the indications on the in-
●
strument panel and act as is necessary.
Always pay attention to the vehicle's sur-
●
roundings.
When the area of vision of the camera
●
becomes dirty, covered or is damaged, the
Lane Assist system function can be affec-
ted.

of the system, the following points must be
taken into account:
Regularly clean the area of vision of the
●
camera and keep it in a clean state, without
snow or ice.
Do not cover the area of vision of the
●
camera.

Description and operation

Fig. 269
Traffic Jam Assist helps the driver keep the
car within its lane and to move in convoy in
case of traffic congestion or slow traffic.
Traffic Jam Assist is an additional function of
›››
Lane Assist page 293 and combines Lane
Assist functions with Adaptive Cruise Control
›››
(ACC) page 284. Therefore, it is essential
that you read these two chapters carefully
and note the limitations of the systems and
the information about them.
Operation of Traffic Jam Assist
At speeds of below 60 km/h (40 mph), Traffic
Jam Assist can maintain a (temporary) dis-
tance preset by the driver with respect to the
vehicle ahead and help stay within the lane
›››
.
To do this, the system automatically controls
the accelerator, brakes and steering, and
slows the vehicle, stopping it fully if neces-
sary, when faced with a vehicle in front that
has stopped. It automatically moves off again
when the vehicle ahead moves.
Traffic Jam Assist is designed only for use on
motorways and wide roads. Therefore, never
use it in city traffic.
