Does my vehicle have ACC?
Your vehicle has ACC if it has a configuration
menu in the infotainment system
›››
page 93
and if it has the ACC function buttons on the
multifunction steering wheel
›››
Fig. 180.
Speed range
ACC regulates speeds between 30 km/h (20
mph) and 210 km/h (130 mph).
1)
The ACC can brake vehicle until it stops com-
pletely before a vehicle that stops. If your ve-
hicle is fitted with a manual gearbox, you
should pay attention to gear changes. The
ACC could switch off if the RPM gets too high
or low.
Driver intervention prompt
ACC is subject to certain limitations in-
herent to the system. This means that
the driver will have to control the speed
and distance from other vehicles in cer-
tain situations. In this case, the instru-
ment cluster display will tell you to in-
tervene by applying the brake, and an
audio warning will be played.
Radar sensors
The ACC uses the front radar technology.

mation about its limitations

WARNING
The ACC’s technology cannot overcome
the syst
em'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 driver awareness.
●
Always be prepared to brake or acceler-
ate.
●
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
visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
●
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 off-road or
on unpaved roads.
●
The system may not react in time to sta-
tionary obstacles (such as a traffic jam
queue), particularly at high speeds. React
soon enough to avoid a hazardous situa-
tion.
●
The system may not react to stopped ve-
hicl
es in the same lane. You must react ear-
ly enough yourself in this case.
●
The system does not react to people, ani-
mals or vehicles that are crossing or ap-
proaching in the opposite direction.
●
If you are driving with a spare wheel fit-
ted, the ACC system could automatically
switch off. Switch off the system when
starting off.
●
Brake immediately if the ACC does not
slow down enough.
●
Brake immediately when a driver inter-
vention instruction is displayed on the in-
strument cluster screen.
●
If the vehicle continues to move involun-
tarily after a driver intervention prompt,
brake the vehicle.
●
The brake pedal may move downwards
during braking. Be careful not to position
your foot under the pedal.
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. Visit-
ing a SEAT dealership is recommended.

When E-Mode is activated in hybrid vehicles,
the ACC speed r
ange may vary.
