on the r
oad or sheets used in r

The area in front of and around the radar
sensor should not be covered with adhesives,
additional or similar headlights, as this may
negatively affect Front Assist operation.
If the front of the vehicle is not properly re-
paired or structural modifications are made
to it, for example if the suspension is lowered,
Front Assist operation may be affected. SEAT
recommends visiting a SEAT dealership for
this purpose.
CAUTION
If you have the sensation that the radar
sensor is damaged or has lost its settings,
disconnect the Front Assist. This will av
oid
possible dangerous situations caused by a
system malfunction. If this occurs have it
adjusted.
The sensor may become damaged or
lose its settings when knocked, for exam-
ple, during a parking manoeuvre. This may
compromise the system's efficacy or dis-
connect it.
Repairs to the radar sensor require spe-
cialist knowledge and special tools. SEAT
recommends visiting a SEAT dealership for
this purpose.
A registration plate or plate holder on the
front that is larger than the space for the
registration plate, or a registration plate
that is curved or warped can cause the ra-
dar to malfunction.
