traffic, or may cause accidents and severe injuries.
● Never ignore the warning lamps or text messages.

Lane Assist system*
Introduction
Additional information and warnings:
● SEAT information system ⇒ page 62
● Accessories, parts replacement, repairs and modifications ⇒ page 260
WARNING
The intelligent technology in the lane assist system cannot change the
limits imposed by the laws of physics and by the system itself. Careless
or uncontrolled use of the lane assist system may cause accidents and in-
jury. 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 you can turn it at
any time.
● The lane assist system does not detect all road markings. In some cir-
cumstances, the poor state of the road, structures located on it or certain
objects may be mistakenly recognised as road markings by the lane as-
sist system. In such situations, switch the lane assist system off immedi-
ately.
● Pay attention to the instructions on the instrument panel display and
act accordingly to its requests.
● Always pay attention to the vehicle's surroundings.
Note
The lane assist system has been exclusively developed for driving on as-
phalted roads.
Note
If the lane assist system does not work as described in this chapter, do not
use it and contact a specialised workshop.
Note
If you observe any system malfunction, have the system checked by a speci-
alised workshop. 

Several warning and control lamps should light up for a few seconds when
the ignition is switched on, signalling that the function is being verified.
They will switch off after a few seconds.
WARNING
If the warning lamps and messages are ignored, the vehicle may stall in
traffic, or may cause accidents and severe injuries.
● Never ignore the warning lamps or text messages.
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Failure to heed the control lamps and text messages when they appear may
result in faults in the vehicle. Operation mode
Fig. 153 In the wind-
screen: Field of vision of
the lane assist system
camera
Using the camera located in the sun visor, the lane assist system detects
the possible lines dividing the lanes. When the vehicle involuntarily ap-
proaches a dividing line it has detected, the system will notify the driver
with a corrective intervention. It is possible to override the corrective inter-
vention at any time.
If the turn signal is connected, there will be no warning as the lane assist
system understands that you wish to change lanes voluntarily.
Steering wheel vibration
The following situations cause the steering wheel to vibrate and require the
driver to take active control of the steering:
● If the limits inherent to the system are reached.
● If the maximum rotational torque during the corrective intervention is
not enough to keep the vehicle inside the lane.
● If during the corrective intervention by the system the lane is no longer
detected. 

218Driving
Switching the lane assist system on or off
● Select the corresponding menu option using the button for the driver as-
sist systems ⇒ page 62.
● OR: Activate or deactivate the system in the menu Settings, sub-menu
Assist systems , menu Lane Assist ⇒ page 62. The “confirmation sign” indi-
cates that the driver assist system is switched on.
Automatic deactivation: the lane assist system can be deactivated automat-
ically if there is a system malfunction. Control lamp switches off.
The lane assist system is inactive (control lamp lit in yellow)
● When the speed of travel drops to below approx. 65 km/h (40 mph).
● When the lane assist system does not detect the dividing lines of the
road. For example, in the event of road works, and snow, dirt, moisture or
reflections.
● When the radius of a curve is too small.
● When there is no dividing line.
● When the distance to the next dividing line is excessive.
● When there are more than two lane markings per lane.
● When the ASR is switched off.
● When the system does not detect any active rotation of the steering
wheel by the driver during a prolonged period.
● Temporarily, in the event of very dynamic driving.
● When the turn signal is connected.
Note
Before starting travel, verify that the camera's field of vision is not covered
⇒ Fig. 153.
Note
Keep the camera window clean. Disconnect the lane assist system in the following
situations
Due to the limits of the lane assist system, disconnect it in the following sit-
uations:
●
When more attention is required of the driver
● For very sporty driving
● In very unfavourable weather conditions
● In very unfavourable road conditions
● In areas of road works 
