Operation
If the driver fails to react to a possible colli-
s
ion, the sy
s
tem may brake the vehicle auto-
matically, by progressively increasing braking
effect driving to reduce speed in the event of
a collision. The system can thus help to re-
duce the consequences of an accident.
Status display
Automatic deceleration by means of the City
Emergency braking function is displayed on
the instrument panel by means of the pre-
warning ››› Fig. 192

.
WARNING
The smart technology included in the City
Emergency
braking function cannot defy the
laws of physics. The driver is always respon-
sible for braking in time.
●
Adapt your speed and safe distance to the
vehicle in front of you at all times to suit visi-
bility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
●
The City Emergency braking function alone
cannot prevent accidents or serious injury.
●
In complex driving situations, the City
Emergency braking function may issue unnec-
essary warnings and intervene inopportunely
in braking, such as in work areas or if there
are metal rails.
●
If the operation of
the City Emergency brak-
ing function is impaired, for example, by dirt
or because the radar sensor has lost its set-
tings, the system may issue unnecessary
warnings and intervene inopportunely in the
braking.
●
During driving, the City Emergency braking
function does not react to people or animals
or vehicles crossing your path or which ap-
proach you head-on in the same lane.
Note
●
When the C
ity Emer
gency braking function
causes a braking, the brake pedal is “hard-
er”.
●
Automatic interventions on the brakes by
the City Emergency braking function may be
interrupted by pressing the clutch, accelera-
tor or moving the wheel.
●
The City Emergency braking function can
brake the vehicle until it stops completely.
However, the brake system does not halt the
vehicle permanently. Use the foot brake!
●
If several inopportune intervenes occur,
switch off the Front Assist and with it the City
Emergency braking function. Take it to a spe-
cialised workshop, SEAT recommends visiting
a SEAT dealership.
●
If numerou
s unnecessary interventions oc-
cur, the City Emergency braking function may
switch off automatically.

The system automatically switches off the en-
