to the presence of metallic objects (e.g. rails
on the r oad or sheets used in r
oad w
orks).
The area in front of and around the radar
sensor should not be covered with adhesives,
additional or similar headlights, as this may
negatively affect Front Assist operation.
If the front of the vehicle is not properly re-
paired or structural modifications are made
to it, for example if the suspension is lowered,
Front Assist operation may be affected. SEAT
recommends visiting a SEAT dealership for
this purpose. CAUTION
If you have the sensation that the radar
sensor is damaged or has lost its settings, disconnect the Fr ont Assist. This will av

oid
possible dangerous situations caused by a
system malfunction. If this occurs have it
adjusted.

Practical tips
Do not forget the spare wheel when checking
the t yr
e pr
essures: Keep this spare wheel in-
flated to the highest pressure required for the
road wheels.
In the case of a minimised temporary spare
wheel (125/70 R16 or 125/70 R18) inflate to a
pressure of 4.2 bar as indicated on the tyre
pressure label on the fuel tank flap.
Driving style
Fast cornering, heavy acceleration and hard
braking (squealing tyres) all increase tyre
wear.
Wheel balance
The wheels on new vehicles are balanced.
However, certain circumstances may lead to
imbalance (run-out), which is detected as vi-
brations in the steering wheel.
Unbalanced wheels should be rebalanced,
as they otherwise cause excessive wear on
steering, suspension and tyres. A wheel must
also be rebalanced when a new tyre is fitted
or if a tyre is repaired.
Incorrect wheel alignment
Incorrect running gear alignment causes ex-
cessive tyre wear, impairing the safety of the
vehicle. If you notice excessive tyre wear, you
should check wheel alignment at a SEAT Of-
ficial Service. WARNING
