reverse gear or press the switch . This function may not be guaranteed on
towing brackets that are not factory fitted. This results in the following restric-
tions:
SEAT parking system*
No warning is given.
SEAT parking system plus*
There is no rear distance warning. The system will still give a warning when
obstacles are detected while driving forwards. The optical display changes to
towing mode.
Fault messages
If you hear a long beep for a few seconds and the LED on the switch * starts
flashing when you switch on the parking aid, a system fault has occurred.
Please refer the problem to an Authorised SEAT dealer or specialised work-
shop.
Note
If the fault is not corrected before you switch off the ignition, it will only be
indicated by the flashing LED on the switch the next time you switch on
the parking aid.
Cruise control system (CCS)*
Description
The cruise control system is able to maintain the set speed in
the range from approx. 30 km/h to 180 km/h.
Once the speed setting has been saved, you may take your foot off the accel-
erator.
WARNING
It could be dangerous to use the cruise control system if it is not possible
to drive at constant speed.
• For safety reasons the cruise control system should not be used in
dense traffic, in sections with bends or where roads are in bad conditions
(e.g. aquaplanning, loose chippings, slippery surfaces, snow). Risk of acci-
dent.
• Always switch the CCS off when finish to use it in order to avoid an
involuntary use.
• It is dangerous to use a set speed which is too high for the current road,
traffic or weather conditions. Risk of accident.
