Safety advice
WARNING
●
Responsibility for driving rests with the
driver at all times. The drive assist systems
are not a replacement for driver attention.
Focus all your attention on driving and be
prepared to intervene at all times.
●
Use the drive assist systems only when con-
ditions allow. The driving style must always
be suitable for the weather, visibility, road
and traic conditions.
●
In order for drive assist systems to react
correctly, sensors and cameras must operate
without limitations. Please read the notes on
sensors and cameras in this chapter.
Note
●
Keep in mind the specic rules of each
country, especially when it comes to driving,
formation of an emergency corridor, braking
distance, speed, parking position, wheel po-
sition, etc. The driver is solely responsible
for always complying with the specic regu-
lations of each country.
●
The area in front of and around the radar
sensor should not be covered with adhesives,
additional headlights or similar items, as this
could have a negative impact on the oper-
ation of the assistants. If the vehicle is not
properly repaired or structural modications
are made to it, the operation of the assistants
may be aected.
●
The repair and adjustment of sensors and
cameras requires special knowledge and
tools. This is why CUPRA recommends visit-
ing a specialised CUPRA dealer or any SEAT
network dealer.

WARNING
●
Drive assist systems can not overcome the
laws of physics. Depending on the circum-
stances, a collision may not be avoidable.
●
Warnings, notices and control lamps may
not be displayed on time, or may be displayed
incorrectly, e.g. if a vehicle approaches too
quickly.
●
Corrective interventions by drive assist sys-
tems (e.g. interventions in the steering or
brakes) may be insuicient or may never oc-
cur, depending on the circumstances. As a
driver, you must be prepared to act at all
times.
Note
●
Due to the system's detection limits in
the surroundings, the systems may not give
warnings or intervene on time, or they might
do so even if it is not desired. In addition, the
auxiliary systems may incorrectly interpret a
manoeuvre and, as a result, warn the driver in
an unexpected manner.
