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.
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
On the front bumper: 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).
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, Front Assist operation may be affected.
SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT dealership
for this purpose.
CAUTION
If you have the feeling that the radar sensor
is damaged or has lost its settings, discon-
nect the Front Assist. This will avoid possi-
ble dangerous situations caused by the in-
adequate operation of the system. If this
occurs have it adjusted.
The sensor may not be adjusted correct-
●
ly if it receives an impact. This may com-
promise the system's efficacy or discon-
nect it.
Repairs to the radar sensor require spe-
●
cialist knowledge and special tools. SEAT
recommends visiting a SEAT dealership for
this purpose.
A registration plate or plate holder on the
●
front that is larger than the space for the
registration plate, or a registration plate
that is curved or warped can cause the ra-
dar to malfunction.
Clean away the snow with a brush and
●
the ice preferably with a solvent-free de-
icer spray.
