Driving
The ACC adapts the cruising speed of the
v
ehicl
e
, k
eeping a saf
e dist
ance aw
ay from
the vehicle in front, if there is one, depending
on speed.
When driving behind another vehicle, the
ACC reduces speed until it is the same as
that of the vehicle ahead and maintains the
set distance between the vehicles. If the vehi-
cle ahead accelerates, the ACC also accel-
erates the vehicle, going no higher than the
programmed target speed.
If the vehicle is equipped with automatic
gearbox, the ACC can brake the vehicle until
it stops completely if a vehicle in front of it
stops.
The distance programmed should be in-
creased when the road surface is wet.
Driver intervention prompt
ACC is subject to certain limitations inherent
to the system. In other words, in certain cir-
cumstances the driver will have to adjust the
speed and the distance from other vehicles.
In this case, the instrument panel screen will
warn you to intervene by applying the brake
and a warning tone will be heard

WARNING
The ACC’s technology cannot overcome
the system's inherent limitations or change
the laws of physics. If used negligently or
involuntarily, it may cause serious acci-
dents and injuries. The system is not a re-
placement for driv
er awareness.
●
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.
●
Do not use ACC in poor visibility, or on
roads that are steep, with lots of curves or
slippery.
●
Never use ACC when driving off-road or
on unpaved roads. The ACC has been de-
signed for use on paved roads only.
●
ACC does not react when approaching a
fixed obstacle, such as the end of a traffic
jam, a damaged vehicle or a vehicle stop-
ped at the traffic lights.
●
The ACC only reacts to people if a pe-
destrian monitoring system is available.
The system does not react to animals or
vehicles crossing your path or approaching
head-on down the same lane.
●
If the ACC does not reduce speed suffi-
ciently, brake the vehicle immediately.
●
If you are driving with a spare wheel fit-
ted, the ACC system could automatically
switch off. Switch off the system when
starting off.
●
If the vehicle continues to move involun-
tarily after a driver intervention prompt,
brake the vehicle.
●
If the instrument panel screen displays a
driver intervention pr
ompt, adjust the dis-
tance.
●
The driver should be ready to accelerate
or brake at all times.
Note
●
If the ACC does not w
ork as described in
this chapter, do not use it until it has been
checked by a specialised workshop. SEAT
r
ecommends visiting a SEAT dealership for
this purpose.
●
Maximum speed with the ACC activated
is limited to 210 km/h (130 mph).
●
When the ACC is switched on, strange
noises may be heard during braking,
caused by the braking system.

The speed reduction by the ACC
to maintain the distance from the
vehicle in fr
ont is not sufficient.
