Seat Ateca 2018, Owner'S Manual

Page: 292 / 412

Driving
The ACC is operational as of the 2nd gear
(manual gearbox).

ACC: engine speed
The message for the driver is displayed if,
when the ACC accelerates or brakes, the
driver does not shift up or down a gear in
time, which means exceeding or not reaching
the permissible engine speed. The ACC
switches itself off. A buzzer warning is heard.
 ACC: clutch applied
Vehicles with manual transmission: pressing
the clutch pedal for longer abandons control
mode.
Door open
Vehicles with automatic transmission: the
ACC cannot be activated with the vehicle
stationary and the door open.
WARNING
There is a danger of rear collision when the
minimum distance to the vehicle in front is
exceeded and the speed difference be-
tween both vehicles is so great that a
speed reduction by the ACC will not suf-
fice. In this case the brake pedal should be
applied immediately.
●
The ACC may not be able to detect all
situations properly.
●
“Stepping” on the accelerator may
cause the ACC not to intervene in braking.
Driver braking will have priority over inter-
vention by the speed control or adaptive
cruise control.
● Always be ready to use the brakes!
●
Observe country-specific provisions gov-
erning obligatory minimum distances be-
tween vehicles.
Note
●
The programmed speed is erased once
the ignition or the ACC are switched off.
●
When the traction control system (ASR) is
deactivated during acceleration or else the
ESC is activated in Sport* Mode
(
›››
 page 36 ), the ACC switches off au-
tomatically.
●
In vehicles with the Start-Stop system,
the engine switches off automatically dur-
ing the ACC stopping phase and restarts
automatically to begin driving.
Function for preventing overtaking
in an inside lane
Fig. 263 On the instrument panel display:
ACC active, vehicle detected in an outer lane.
The adaptive cruise control (ACC) has a
function that helps avoid overtaking while
driving in inside lanes at certain speeds.
If another vehicle is detected travelling at a
slower speed in an outer lane, it is displayed
on the multifunction display
›››
Fig. 263 .
To avoid overtaking while driving in an inside
lane the system will gently brake, and in ac-
cordance with the speed will prevent the car
from overtaking. The driver can override this
function at any time by pressing the acceler-
ator pedal. At low speeds the function is inac-
tive, for greater comfort in a traffic jam or in
city traffic.
