Driver assistance systems
CAUTION
Failure to heed the control lamps and text
mes s
ages when they appear may result in ve-
hicle faults. Operation mode
Sign Assist does not work in all countries.
This
mu

st be taken into account when travel-
ling abroad.
Display of traffic signs
Speed limits or overtaking prohibitions to-
gether with the corresponding additional
signs are shown on the instrument panel dis-
play ›››
Fig. 225. Depending on the naviga-
tion system installed in the vehicle, traffic
signs will be shown as above and also in the
navigation system's map display.
When Sign Assist is connected, the vehicle
records the traffic signs with a camera in the
base of the interior rear vision mirror. After
checking and evaluating the information
from the camera, the navigation system and
the current vehicle data, up to three valid
traffic signs are displayed in conjunction with
the corresponding additional signs. The traf-
fic sign that is currently valid for the driver is
shown first, in the left side of the screen. A
traffic sign of only limited validity,
e.g. 90 km/h (56 mph) is shown second, to-
gether with the additional sign “if the road is wet”. If the vehicle's rain sensor detects rain
during tr
av

el, the traffic sign valid at this mo-
ment will move to the first position along the
additional sign “if the road is wet”.
The permanent display on the instrument
panel screen is shown as you pass the real
traffic signs. The signs for entering and leav-
ing towns activate the display of the usual
speed limits for that country on roads in
populated areas and national highways, even
if the speed is not limited by an actual traffic
sign.
The end of a prohibition or limitation is not
displayed. If you exceed the speed limits
shown, a warning will not appear. The system
does not detect areas with little traffic. The
current legal provisions apply.

mendation to t

ake a break)
Introduction WARNING
Do not let the extra convenience afforded by
the tiredne s

s detection function tempt you
into taking any risks when driving. When
making long trips, conveniently long breaks
must be taken.
● The driver is responsible for determining
their capac
ity to drive.
● Never drive when tired.
● The system does not always detect the
tirednes
s of the driver. Please read the infor-
mation provided in the section ››› page 230,
Limited operation.
● In some situations the system may incor-
rectly int
erpret an intended manoeuvre as a
sign of tiredness of the driver.
● In the event of the an episode called “mi-
cro
sleep” at the wheel, a strong warning is
not in place!
● Observe the indications on the display of
the instrument
panel and act in accordance
with them. » 229

Safety

Advice
vehicle in question by SEAT. Seat belts which
hav
e been w
orn in an accident and stretched
must be replaced by a specialised workshop.
Renewal may be necessary even if there is no
apparent damage. The belt anchorage should
also be checked. Notes for the user
Labels and p

latesSome parts in the engine compartment come
fr
om the f
act

ory with certificates of safety, la-
bels or plates containing important informa-
tion regarding the operation of the vehicle,
for example, on the fuel tank flap, on the pas-
senger's sun visor, on the driver door strut, or
on the floor of the boot.
● Never remove these certificates of safety,
labels
or plates, and ensure they are kept in
good condition and are legible.
● If a vehicle part, bearing a certificate of
safety
, label or plate, is replaced, the special-
ised workshop should attach the information
back in the same place.
Certificate of safety
A certificate of safety on the door strut states
that all the safety standards and regulations
established by the national traffic authorities
responsible for road safety were met at the time of manufacture. It may also give the
month and ye

ar of manufacture, together
with the chassis number.
Warning of high voltage label*
There is a label close to the bonnet lock
which warns of high voltage in the vehicle's
electrical system. The vehicle ignition system
complies with several standards, including
the Canadian standard, ICES-002.
Using your vehicle in other countries
and continents The vehicle is manufactured at the factory for
u
se in a p
ar

ticular country in accordance with
the national legislation in force at the time of
manufacture.
If the vehicle is sold in another country or
used in another country for an extended peri-
od of time, the applicable legislation of that
country should be observed.
It may be necessary to fit or remove certain
pieces of equipment or to deactivate certain
functions. Service work may also be affected.
This is particularly true if the vehicle is used
in a different climate for an extended period
of time.
As there are different types of frequency
bands around the world, you may find that the radio or navigation system supplied at
the factor

y does not work in another country. CAUTION
● SEA T doe

s not accept liability for any dam-
age to the vehicle due to the use of a lower
quality fuel, an inadequate service or the
non-availability of genuine spare parts.
● SEAT does not accept liability if the vehicle
does not
comply in part or in full with the le-
gal requirements of other countries or conti-
nents. Radio and antenna reception
The aerial of radio and navigation systems
fitt
ed at
the f

actory may be mounted in differ-
ent parts of the vehicle:
● On the inside of the rear window, next to
the rear w
indow heating,
● on the inside of the rear side windows,
● on the inside of the windscreen,
● on the roof of the vehicle.
Aerials
mounted on the inside of a window
can be recognised by the fine wires. CAUTION
Aerials on the inside of windows may be dam-
aged if knoc

ked or if cleaned with corrosive or
acid cleaning products. Do not stick adhesive 260
