keeping control of the vehicle and reacting
to a possible emergency situation.
WARNING
Following a Front Assist emergency warn-
ing, pay immediate attention to the situa-
tion and try to avoid the collision as appli-
cable.
If the Front Assist does not work as de-
●
scribed in this chapter (e.g. it repeatedly
intervenes unnecessarily), switch it off.
Have the system checked by a specialised
workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a
SEAT dealership.
Always adapt your speed and distance
●
away from the vehicle in front of you at all
times to suit visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions.
The Front Assist alone cannot avoid acci-
●
dents and serious injuries.
In complex driving situations, Front Assist
●
may issue warnings and intervene in brak-
ing unnecessarily.
If the operation of the Front Assist is im-
●
paired by dirt or because the radar sensor
has lost its settings, the system may issue
unnecessary warnings and intervene inop-
portunely in the braking.
The Front Assist does not react to animals
●
or vehicles crossing your path or ap-
proaching head-on down the same lane.

Driving
The Front Assist does not react to pedes-
●
trians walking head-on in the same lane.
The driver must always be ready to take
●
over the control of the vehicle.
Note
When Front Assist is connected, the indi-
●
cations of other functions on the screen
may be hidden.
When the Front Assist causes a braking,
●
the brake pedal is "harder".
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.
Radar sensors

The radar sensor's visibility may be impaired
by dirt, or by environmental influences such
as rain or mist. In this case, the Front Assist
does not work. The instrument panel displays
the following message: Front Assist: No
Clean the radar sensor
sensor vision!
›››
.
When the radar sensor begins to operate
properly again, the Front Assist will be availa-
ble again. The message will disappear from
the screen.
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.
guard rails or sheets used in road works).
