Lights and visibility

Driving
to the presence of metallic objects (e.g.
guar d r
ails 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, Front Assist operation may be affected.
SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT dealership
for this purpose. CAUTION
If you have the feeling that the radar sensor
is damaged or has lost its settings, discon-
nect the Front Assist. This will avoid possi-
bl e danger

ous situations caused by the in-
adequate operation of the system. If this
occurs have it adjusted.
