WARNING

When driving without a brake servo or with

restricted brake servo functions, the braking

distance can increase considerably and can

cause accidents and serious injuries.

The control lamp ﬂashes yellow.

The ECS in “Sport” mode can be activated

or deactivated in the infotainment system using

the function button > Driver assistance >

ESC fault

The control lamp switches on yellow. The ESC

has been switched o.

●

If the brake servo is not working, the brake

pedal has to be pressed harder, as the brak-

ing distance increases due to the lack of as-

sistance from the servo brake.

When “Sport” mode is connected, the interven-

tions of the ESC to stabilise the vehicle, and the

traction control (TCS) interventions are limited.

There is a fault or defect.

●

Turn o the ignition and turn it on again.

If possible, drive for a short distance at 15-20

km/h (9-12 mph).

WARNING

Connecting and disconnecting the

ESC and TCS

●

The ESC Sport mode should only be switched

on if the trac situation and the driver’s abil-

ity allow it. Danger of skidding!

If the control lamp is still on, go to a speci-

alised workshop.

The ESC is switched on automatically when the

engine is started, and only works when the en-

gine is running and includes the ABS, EDS and

TCS systems.

The brake assist systems make noises

●

With ESC in Sport mode, the stabilising

function will be limited for sportier driving.

The vehicle may skid.

When the described brake assist systems inter-

vene, you may hear noises.

The TCS function should only be switched o in

situations in which traction is insucient.

Note

WARNING

Depending on the ﬁnishes and versions, there is

the possibility of disconnecting only the TCS or

activating the ESC in “Sport” mode.

If the TCS is disconnected or “Sport” mode

is selected, the cruise control system will be

switched oꢀ.

●

When the ignition is switched on, the sta-

tus of the brake system and the brake assist

functions are automatically checked. The

control lamps on the instrument cluster light

up brieﬂy and then go out. Any indicator

lamp that remains on indicates a fault. Seek

qualiﬁed technical assistance immediately.

slowly and carefully to the nearest specialist

workshop to have the brake system inspec-

ted. During this journey, avoid heavy braking

and any sudden manoeuvres.

●

If the control lamp does not go out, or

comes on while driving, it means that the ABS

is not working properly. The vehicle can only

be stopped using normal braking (without

ABS). In this case the protective ABS func-

tion will not be available. Go to a specialised

workshop as soon as possible.

could have a negative impact on the oper-

Due to the system's detection limits in

the surroundings, the systems may not give

do so even if it is not desired. In addition, the

auxiliary systems may incorrectly interpret a

an unexpected manner.

Introduction

As soon as the clutch pedal is depressed, regu-

change has been made.

The cruise control system (GRA) helps maintain

a constant speed set by you.

Introduction

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) maintains a

constant speed set by the driver. When ap-

proaching another vehicle in front, the ACC de-

tects it and adapts the speed automatically,

maintaining a distance set by the driver.

WARNING

ACC is subject to certain limitations inher-

ent to the system. This means that the

driver will have to control the speed and

distance from other vehicles in certain sit-

uations. In this case, the instrument cluster

plying the brake, and an audio warning will

be played.

WARNING

Introduction

●

Front Assist is a driving assistance function

that can never replace the driver’s attention.

The objective of the system is to prevent head-

on collisions against objects that may be in the

vehicle’s path or minimise the consequences of

such impacts.

The ACC does not work as expected

●

Front Assist cannot change the laws of

physics or replace the driver in terms of

keeping control of the vehicle and reacting

to a possible emergency situation.

radar sensor to operate properly ››› page 134.

some of the stages described below are omit-

ted to optimise the performance of the system.

Automatic braking

●

The Front Assist does not react to pedes-

trians walking head-on in the same lane.

If the driver also fails to react to the critical

warning, the system may initiate independent

emergency braking by progressively increasing

the braking in accordance with the criticality of

the situation.

●

If the Front Assist does not work as descri-

bed in this chapter (e.g. it repeatedly inter-

venes unnecessarily), switch it oꢀ. Have the

system checked by a specialised workshop.

SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT dealer-

ship.
