system may also be activated if there is a high
likelihood of a rear-end collision, or during the
activation of Front Assist.
In addition to the Emergency Assist system
In vehicles with emergency assist, driver status
information is assessed within the limitations
of this system. The following PreCrash systems
may be activated if a lack of activity is detec-
ted:
●
Reversible seat belt tensioning of the driver's
seat belt.
●
Automatic closing of the windows until they
are just cracked open and, depending on the
equipment, of the sunroof.
Activation of the PreCrash system
The PreCrash system can be partially deactiva-
ted by deactivating the traction and/or stability
control, depending on the equipment. When
these vehicle safety controls are switched on
(by default, every time the ignition is turned
on), the system is fully activated.
Driving profile selection settings
In vehicles with driving profile selection, Pre-
Crash adapts to suit the special vehicle

Safety
Limited operation
The PreCrash system is not available or only
has limited availability in the following situa-
tions:
●
When the TCS and/or ESC is off.
●
When driving in reverse.
●
When the airbag control unit is not operating
properly.
●
When there is a fault in the system itself, in
the ESC or in the Front Assist.
Troubleshooting
If the PreCrash is not working correctly, the
message System unavailable or System
with limited functions is shown perma-
nently on the instrument cluster screen. Go to
a specialized CUPRA Service or Official SEAT
Service and ask for the system to be checked.
WARNING
The PreCrash system cannot overcome the
limits imposed by the laws of physics; it only
works within the limits of the system. Risks
that compromise safety are never justified by
the use of this system. The system is not a
replacement for driver awareness and cannot
prevent a collision.
●
Adapt your speed and safe distance to the
vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
the visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
●
The system is not always able to recognise
objects.
●
The system may not react to people or ani-
mals or objects that cross length-wise or that
are hard to detect.
●
Metallic objects (e.g. fences) or other ele-
ments of the public road or adverse weather
conditions can hinder its operation and thus
its ability to detect collision risk.
●
Never ignore the warning lamps that light
up or the messages shown on the dashboard.
WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an accident and cause injuries.
●
Never change settings on the Infotainment
System while driving.
Airbag system
Why is it so important to wear a
seat belt and to sit correctly?
For the inflating airbags to achieve the best
protection, the seat belt must always be worn
properly and the correct sitting position must
be assumed.
The airbag system is not a substitute for seat
belts, but it is an integral part of the vehicle's
overall passive safety system. Please bear in
mind that the airbag system can only work ef-
