Observe the safety warnings

trol and warning l
amps on page 123.
WARNING
The Front Assist system cannot change the
laws of physics or repl
ace 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 t
o 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 inoppor
tunely 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 Fr
ont Assist is connected, the
indications on the instrument panel scr
een
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 r
adar sensor
's visibilit
y 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 r
adar sensor begins t
o oper
ate
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
