Operation
If the driver does not react to this, the system
al so al
erts the driver with a little shaking mo-
tion through the brakes and, if the vehicle
has it, activates the Emergency Assist func-
tion ››› page 218.
In vehicles without Emergency Assist, the
adaptive lane guidance function will be disa-
bled after the corresponding warnings to the
driver.
The lane assist system is active but it is not
available (the control lamp is lit up yellow)
● When driving at speeds below 65 km/h (38
mph).
● When the Lane Assist system does not de-
tect
the dividing lines of the road. For exam-
ple, in the event warnings indicating road
works, and snow, dirt, moisture or reflec-
tions.
● When the radius of a curve is too small.
● When no road markings can be seen.
● When the distance to the next marking to
too gr
eat.
● When the system does not detect any clear
and active s
teering movement during a long
period of time.
● Temporarily, in the event of very dynamic
drivin
g styles.
● If a turn signal is activated.
● With the stability control system (ESC) in
Spor
t mode or switched off. Side Assist PLUS
If the

vehicle is also equipped with Side As-
sist and the system is switched on, the driver
is alerted when changing lanes during a pos-
sible critical situation (level of information,
warning level) through a corrective steering
wheel intervention. This occurs even if the
turn signal is activated in the corresponding
direction. If the driver over-regulates the
steering wheel intervention, an additional
warning is given through a vibration in the
steering wheel. Note
● Bef

ore starting a journey, verify that the
field of vision of the camera is not covered

● Always keep the field of vision of the cam-
era c

Traffic Jam Assist De
scription and operation 

table on page 2
Traffic Jam Assist helps the driver keep the
car within its lane and to move in convoy in
case of traffic congestion or slow traffic.
Traffic Jam Assist is an additional function of
Lane Assist ›››
page 213 and combines Lane
Assist functions with Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) ›››
page 197. Therefore, it is essential
that you read these two chapters carefully
and note the limitations of the systems and
the information about them.
Operation of Traffic Jam Assist
At speeds of below 60 km/h (40 mph), Traffic
Jam Assist can maintain a (temporary) dis-
tance preset by the driver with respect to the
vehicle ahead and help stay within the lane
››› .
T o do thi

s, the system automatically controls
the acceleration, brakes and steering, and
slows down the vehicle if necessary until it
stops fully before a vehicle that has stopped,
before moving off again automatically.

Checking and refilling levels
CAUTION
● Do not mi
x cleaning products recommen-
ded by SEAT with other products. This could
lead to flocculation and may block the wind-
screen washer jets.
● When topping up service fluids, make abso-
lutely
certain that you fill the fluids into the
correct reservoirs. Using the wrong fluids
could cause serious malfunctions and engine
damage!
● Not having windscreen wiper fluid reduces
vi

sibility through the windscreen, and leads
to loss of visibility in headlights in models
with headlight washer. Battery

The battery is located in the engine compart-
ment and is almost maintenance-free. It is
checked as part of the Inspection Service.
Nevertheless, check the terminals are clean
and have the correct tightening torque, espe-
cially in summer and winter.
Disconnecting the battery
The battery should only be disconnected in
exceptional cases. When the battery is dis- connected, some of the vehicle's functions
are “lo

st” (››› table on page 289). These
functions will require resetting after the bat-
tery is reconnected.
Deactivate the anti-theft alarm* before you

the remote door opening, may be temporarily
disabled to prevent the battery from running
flat. These functions will come back on as
soon as the ignition is switched on and the
engine started. Winter conditions

kno
wl

edge. Please refer to a SEAT Official
Service or a workshop specialising in batter-
ies: risk of burns or exploding battery!
The battery must not be opened. Never try to
change the fluid level of the battery. Other-
wise explosive gas is released from the bat-
tery that could cause an explosion. 
Wear eye protection.

Battery acid is very corrosive and caustic. Wear
protective gloves and eye protection. In the event
of electrolyte splashes, rinse off with plenty of
water.

Fires, sparks, open flames and smoking are pro-
hibited.

The battery should only be charged in a well-ven-
