Front Assist status indicators and advisory notices appear clearly on the instrument panel display screen.

Front Assist is automatically active whenever the vehicle's ignition is switched on. When starting your Seat Leon, Front Assist may temporarily be unavailable for a short initial period while the control units complete their startup sequence. During this calibration phase, the instrument cluster display will show the following status indication .

When Front Assist is manually deactivated, the advance warning and the safety distance warning sub-functions are also turned off simultaneously.

SEAT strongly recommends leaving Front Assist activated at all times, except in the specific exceptional situations outlined in the section titled Temporarily deactivating Front Assist.

Activating and deactivating Front Assist

With the vehicle ignition switched on, Front Assist can be deactivated or turned back on manually through the following methods:

• In the central infotainment system: press the menu function button > Driver assist > Smart Assistants > Front Assist.
• OR: Select the corresponding menu option quickly using the dedicated physical button for the assistant systems on the steering wheel.

This specific visual indication will be shown on the instrument cluster whenever Front Assist is switched off.

Each time the ignition is switched off and on again, Front Assist will automatically reset and reappear as active by default.

Switching distance warning on and off

The safety distance warning can be independently activated or deactivated within the infotainment system menus by using the function button > Driver assist > Smart Assistants > Front Assist.

Every time the ignition is turned on, the distance warning feature will automatically default back to active.

SEAT recommends keeping the safety distance warning permanently enabled, with the sole exceptions described in the section covering Temporarily deactivating Front Assist.

The swerve and turn assistance systems can be toggled on or off within the infotainment system using the function button > Driver assist > Smart Assistants > Front Assist.

SEAT recommends keeping these assistance systems active, barring the exceptional circumstances detailed in the section on Temporarily deactivating Front Assist.

Activating or deactivating the swerve and turn and junction assist

The swerve, turn, and junction assistance systems can be enabled or disabled in the infotainment system menu using the path > Driver assist > Smart Assistants > Front Assist.

Whenever the vehicle ignition is turned on, swerve, turn, and junction assist will automatically default to active.

• If the front radar sensor or the upper windscreen camera has suffered a permanent internal fault.
• If the radar sensor area or camera mount has suffered a violent physical impact or collision.
• If the system repeatedly intervenes with unnecessary or false braking.
• If the radar sensor or front camera view is temporarily obscured by an aftermarket grille accessory or external cover.
• When the vehicle is being loaded onto a transporter truck or flatbed trailer.
• If the windscreen glass is cracked, chipped, or damaged in the specific area directly covering the field of vision of the front camera.
