›››
page 289, Technical requirements for

WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into
the Emergency Assist cannot overcome the
limits imposed by the l
aws of physics; it on-
ly works within the limits of the system. The
driver is responsible for driving the vehicle.
●
Adapt your speed and safe distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
the visibility, weather, road and traffic con-
ditions.
●
Keep your hands on the wheel at all times
to be ready to intervene in the steering at
any time.
●
The Emergency Assist alone cannot al-
ways avoid accidents or serious injuries.
●
If the operation of the Emergency Assist
is impaired, for example if the radar sensor
of the adaptive cruise control (ACC) or the
Lane Assist camera are cov
ered or have
lost their settings, the system may inter-
vene inopportunely in braking or in steer-
ing.
●
The Emergency Assist does not react to
people or animal or vehicles crossing your
path or which approach you head-on in the
same lane.
WARNING
If the Emergency Assist Intervenes inoppor-
t
unely, serious accidents and injuries may
occur.
●
If the Emergency Assist does not operat
e
properly, switch off the Lane Assist
›››
page 284. Doing so will also switch off
the Emergency Assist.
●
Have the system checked by a special-
ised workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a
SEAT dealership for this.
Note
●
Automatic interventions by the Emergen-
cy Assist on the br
akes may be interrupted
by pressing the accelerator or brake or by
moving the wheel.
●
Hazard warning lights that come on auto-
matically can be switched off by pressing
the accelerator or the break, moving the
steering wheel or pressing the hazard
warning light switch.
