WARNING
The Front Assist system cannot change the
laws of physics or replace the driver in
terms of 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 by brak-
ing or by dodging the obstacle, as applica-
ble.
●
If the Front Assist does not work as de-
scribed in this chapter (e.g. it repeatedly
intervenes unnecessarily), switch it off.
● Adapt your speed and safe distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
●
The Front Assist alone cannot avoid acci-
dents and serious injuries.
●
In complex driving situations, occasional-
ly the Front Assist may issue warnings and
intervene in braking unnecessarily, for ex-
ample at traffic islands.
●
If the operation of the Front Assist is im-
paired, for example, by dirt or because the
radar sensor has lost its settings, the sys-
tem may issue unnecessary warnings and
intervene inopportunely 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 in the same direction or ap-
proaching head-on down the same lane.
●
The driver must always be ready to take
over the control of the vehicle.
Note
●
When the Front Assist is connected, the
indications on the instrument panel screen
may be concealed by warnings from other
functions, such as an incoming call.
●
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.
Have the system checked by a specialised
workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a
SEAT dealership.

.
The radar sensor's visibility may be impaired
by dirt, mud or snow, or by environmental in-
fluences such as rain or mist. In this case, the
Front Assist does not work. The instrument
panel displays the following message:
Front
Assist: No sensor vision!
If necessary
clean the radar sensor

.
When the radar sensor begins to operate
properly again, the Front Assist will automati-
cally be available again. The message will
disappear from the instrument panel display.
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
