A radar sensor is installed on the front bump-

.
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
adaptive cruise control (ACC) does not work.
The instrument panel displays the following
message: ACC: No sensor vision! If nec-
essary clean the radar sensor
›››
.
When the r
adar sensor begins t
o oper
ate
properly again, the ACC will automatically
be available again. The message on the in-
strument panel screen will switch off and the
ACC will be reactivated again.
ACC operation may be affected by a strong
radar reverse reflection. This may occur, for
example, in a closed car park or due to the
presence of metallic objects (e.g. rails on the
road or sheets used in road works).
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 ACC 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,
ACC operation may be affected. In this sce-
nario, SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT
dealership.
CAUTION
If you have the sensation that the radar
sensor is damaged or has lost its settings,
disconnect the ACC. This will avoid possi-
bl
e damage. 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.
●
Clean away the snow with a brush and
the ice preferably with a solvent-free de-
icer spray.
