WARNING
If the warning lamps are ignored, the vehicle may stall in traffic, or may
cause accidents and severe injuries.
● Never ignore the warning lamps.
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
● Park the vehicle away from the traffic, ensuring that there are no easi-
ly inflammable materials under the vehicle which could come into contact
with the exhaust system (e.g. dry grass, fuel).
● A faulty vehicle represents a risk of accident for the driver and for oth-
er road users. If necessary, switch on the hazard warning lamps and put
out the warning triangle to advise other drivers.
● Before opening the bonnet, switch off the engine and allow it to cool.
● In any vehicle, the engine compartment is a hazardous area and could

Driver assistance systems
Laser sensor
Fig. 99 In the wind-
screen: City Safety Assist
function laser sensor
Fig. 100 Laser sensor
detection area
A laser sensor on the windscreen ⇒ Fig. 99 allows the system to detect driv- ing situations in front of the vehicle.
Vehicles ahead can be detected up to a distance of about 10 m.
WARNING
The laser beam on the laser sensor can produce serious injuries to the
eyes.
● Never focus optical devices, e.g. a camera, a microscope or a magnify-
ing glass closer than 100 mm from the laser sensor.
● Note that the laser beam can stay active when the City Safety Assist
system is switched off or unavailable. The laser beam is not visible to the
human eye.
CAUTION
If the windscreen is dirty or frozen in the area of the laser sensor, e.g. due to
rain, mist or snow, the City Safety Assist system may subsequently fail to
operate.
● Always keep the laser sensor area free of dirt and freezing.
● Use a small brush to remove snow and a de-icer spray to remove ice.
CAUTION
A damaged windscreen in the laser sensor area may cause the City Safety
Assist function to fail to operate.
● Replace the windscreen if it is scratched, cracked or chipped by stones
in the laser sensor area. Only use a windscreen authorised by SEAT. Carrying
out repairs is not permitted (e.g. in the case of damage suffered in an im-
pact from a stone).
● When replacing the windscreen wipers, only use windscreen wipers au-
thorised by SEAT.
● Do not paint the laser sensor area on the windscreen, or cover it with ad-
hesives, or sedimentation, etc. 

176At the filling station
Note
● The filling nozzles of natural gas pumps can differ in the way they are
operated. If you are unacquainted with the pump, it is advisable that a
member of staff of the service station performs the refuelling operation.
● Noises heard when refuelling are normal and do not indicate the pres-
ence of a fault in the system.
● The vehicle natural gas system is prepared both for refuelling with a
small compressor (slow refuel) and a large compressor (fast refuel) in natu-
ral gas service stations. 
