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
●
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.
