Driver assistance systems
The pedestrian monitoring system, including
the a
dv
ance warning, is automatically con-
nected when the ignition is switched on
››› page 165.
SEAT recommends always having the pedes-
trian monitoring system connected. The ex-
ceptions set out for the Front Assist system
are equally valid for the pedestrian monitor-
ing system ››› page 210.
Switching the pedestrian monitoring system
on and off
With the ignition on, the pedestrian monitor-
ing system can be switched on and off as fol-
lows:
●
Switch the system on and off in the info-
tainment system using the
button and
the

When the pedestrian protection system is
switched off, the dash panel display shows a
message indicating this ››› Fig. 188 . The
pedestrian monitoring system is switched off
with the Front Assist function.
WARNING
The technology in the pedestrian monitoring
sys
tem cannot defy the laws of physics and
only works within the system's limits. The
driver is always responsible for braking in
time. If the pedestrian monitoring system is-
sues a warning, brake the vehicle immediate-
ly w
ith the brake pedal or swerve to avoid the
pedestrian, depending on traffic conditions.
●
The pedestrian monitoring system alone
cannot avoid accidents or serious injury.
●
In complex driving situations, the pedes-
trian monitoring system may issue unneces-
sary warnings and intervene unnecessarily in
braking, such as in main roads with turnings.
●
If the operation of the system is impaired,
for example, because the radar sensor and
camera are covered or have lost their set-
tings, the system may issue unnecessary
warnings and intervene inopportunely in the
braking.
●
The driver must always be ready to take
over the control of the vehicle.
Note
●
When the v
ehicle is braked via the pedes-
trian monitoring system, the brake pedal be-
comes stiffer.
●
Automatic interventions by the pedestrian
monitoring system on the brakes may be in-
terrupted by pressing the accelerator or mov-
ing the wheel.
●
If the pedestrian monitoring system does
not work as described in this chapter (e.g. if
it intervening unnecessarily several times),
switch if off, contact a specialist workshop
immediately and request to have the system
checked. SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT
dealership for this.
Lane Assist system*
Intr
oduction
WARNING
The intelligent technology in the Lane Assist
sys
tem cannot change the limits imposed by
the laws of physics and by the very nature of
the system. Careless or uncontrolled use of
the Lane Assist system may cause accidents
and injury. The system is not a replacement
for driver awareness.
●
Always adapt your speed and the distance
to the vehicles ahead in line with visibility,
weather conditions, the condition of the road
and the traffic situation.
●
Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel so it can be turned at any time.
●
The Lane Assist system does not detect all
road markings. The road surfaces, road struc-
tures or objects in poor condition can be in-
correctly detected as road markings under
certain circumstances by the Lane Assist sys-
tem. In such situations, switch the Lane As-
sist system off immediately.
●
Please observe the indications on the in-
strument panel and act as is necessary.
●
Always pay attention to the vehicle's sur-
roundings.
●
When the area of vision of the camera be-
comes dirty, covered or is damaged, the Lane
Assist system function can be affected.
