Assistant systems
Speed range
ACC r
egulates at speeds between 30 and
210km/h (20 and 130mph).
When E-Mode is activated in hybrid vehicles,
the ACC speed range may vary.
If the vehicle is fitted with an automatic gear-
box, the ACC can bring the vehicle to a stand-
still if a vehicle in front of it stops.
If your vehicle is fitted with a manual gearbox,
you must pay attention to speed and gear
changes. The ACC is deactivated if the speed is
too low (less than 30 km/h) of the engine RPM
is too low or high.
Driving with ACC
You can override the ACC at any time. Braking
interrupts the ACC. If you accelerate, regulation
is interrupted during acceleration and then re-
sumed.
Driver intervention prompt
ACC is subject to certain limitations inher-
ent to the system. This means that the
driver will have to control the speed and
distance from other vehicles in certain sit-
uations. In this case, the instrument cluster
display will tell you to intervene by ap-
plying the brake, and an audio warning will
be played.
Radar sensors
The ACC uses the front radar technology. Read
its maintenance instructions and information
about its limitations ›››page178.
WARNING
The ACC’s technology cannot overcome the
syst
em's inherent limitations or change the
laws of physics. If used negligently or invol-
untarily, it may cause serious accidents and
injuries. The system is not a replacement for
driver awareness.
●
Always be prepared to brake or accelerate.
●
If you press the accelerator pedal the ACC
will stop working. Therefore, it will not brake
or request any braking intervention.
●
Adapt your speed and safe distance to the
vehicle in front of you at all times to suit visi-
bility, weather, road and trac conditions.
●
Do not use the ACC in poor visibility, or on
roads that are steep, with lots of curves or
slippery.
●
Never use ACC when driving o-road or on
unpaved roads.
●
The system does not react in time to sta-
tionary obstacles (such as a trac jam
queue). React soon enough to avoid a haz-
ardous situation.
●
The system does not react to people, an-
imals or vehicles that are crossing or ap-
proaching in the opposite direction.
●
If you are driving with a spare wheel fitted,
the ACC system could automatically switch
o. Switch o the system when starting o.
●
Brake immediately if the ACC does not
slow down enough.
●
Brake immediately when a driver interven-
tion instruction is displayed on the instru-
ment cluster screen.
●
If the vehicle continues to move involuntar-
ily after a driver intervention prompt, brake
the vehicle.
Note
If the ACC does not work as described in
this chapt
er, do not use it until it has been
checked by a specialised workshop. Visiting
a SEAT dealership is recommended.
