PreCrash system
may also be activated if there is a high likeli-
hood of a rear-end collision, or during the acti-
vation of Front Assist.
In addition to Side Assist
In vehicles with Side Assist,›››page218, within
the limitations of this system, information is as-
sessed on the risk of collision with trac to
the rear of the vehicle. If a rear-end collision
is highly likely, the functions of the PreCrash
system may also be activated. In this situation,
the hazard warning lights are turned on with a
higher frequency of flashes.
In addition to the Emergency Assist system
In vehicles with emergency assist, driver status
information is assessed within the limitations of
this system. The following PreCrash systems
may be activated if a lack of activity is detec-
ted:
●
Reversible seat belt tensioning of the driver's
seat belt.
●
Automatic closing of the windows until they
are just cracked open and, depending on the
equipment, of the sunroof.
Activating the PreCrash system
The PreCrash system can be partially deac-
tivated by deactivating the traction and/or
stability control, depending on the equip-
ment. When these vehicle safety controls are
switched on (by default, every time the ignition
is turned on), the system is fully activated.
Driving profile selection settings
In vehicles with driving profile selection, Pre-
Crash adapts to suit the special vehicle
configuration of the corresponding profile
›››page183.
Limited operation
The PreCrash system is not available or only
has limited availability in the following situa-
tions:
●
When the TCS and/or ESC is o.
●
When driving in reverse.
●
When the airbag control unit is not operating
properly.
●
When there is a fault in the system itself, in the
ESC or in the Front Assist.
Troubleshooting
If the PreCrash is not working correctly, the
message System unavailable or System with
limited functions is shown permanently on
the instrument cluster screen. Get the system
checked by a SEAT Ocial Service.
WARNING
The PreCrash system cannot overcome the
limits imposed by the laws of physics; it only
works within the limits of the system. Risks
that compromise safety are never justified by
the use of this system. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness and cannot
prevent a collision.
●
Adapt your speed and safe distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
the visibility, weather, road and trac condi-
tions.
●
The system is not always able to recognise
objects.
●
The system may not react to people or
animals or objects that cross length-wise or
that are hard to detect.
●
Metallic objects (e.g. fences) or other ele-
ments of the public road or adverse weather
conditions can hinder its operation and thus
its ability to detect collision risk.
●
Never ignore the warning lamps that light
up or the messages shown on the dashboard.
WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an accident and cause injuries.
●
Never change settings on the Infotainment
System while driving.
