Driver assistance systems
●
Keep y
our 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 covered or have lost
their settings, the system may intervene in-
opportunely in braking or in steering.
●
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 inop-
portunely, serious accidents and injuries
may occur.
●
If the Emergency Assist does not operate
properly, switch off the Lane Assist
›››
page 263. Doing so will also switch off the
Emergency Assist.
●
Have the system checked by a specialised
workshop. To do so, CUPRA recommends
going to a specialised CUPRA dealer or any
SEAT dealership.
Note
●
Automatic interventions by the Emergen-
cy Assist on the brakes may be interrupted
by pressing the accelerator or brake or by
moving the wheel.
●
Hazar
d 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.
●
If this occurs, the Emergency Assist may
decelerate the vehicle until it comes to a
complete stop.
●
When the Emergency Assist is activated,
it is only available again after the ignition
has been switched off and back on again.
Using the blind spot detector
(BSD) with parking assistant
(RCTA)*
Introduction
The blind spot detector (BSD) helps to de-
t
ect the tr
affic situation behind the vehicle.
The integrated parking assistant (RCTA)
helps the driver when backing out of a paral-
lel parking spot and in manoeuvring.
The blind spot detector has been developed
for driving on paved roads.
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into
the blind spot detector (BSD) with parking
assistance (RCTA) included cannot over-
come the limits imposed by the laws of
physics; it only works within the limits of the
system. Accidents and severe injury may
occur if the blind spot detection system or
the rear cross traffic alert are used negli-
gently or involuntarily. The system is not a
replacement for driver 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.
●
Keep your hands on the wheel at all times
to be ready to intervene in the steering at
any time.
●
Pay attention to the control lamps that
may come on in the external rear view mir-
rors and on the instrument panel, and fol-
low any instructions they may give.
●
The blind spot assistant could react to
any special constructions that might be
present on the sides of the vehicle: e.g.
high or irregular dividers. This may cause
erroneous warnings.
●
Never use the blind spot detector with
rear cross traffic alert on unpaved roads.
The blind spot detector with rear cross traf-
fic alert has been designed for use on
paved roads.
