syst em displ
ay. The optical indication of the segments works
as f
oll

ows:
Grey segments: the obstacle is more
than approx. 30 cm away from the path
or in the direction opposite to travel.
They are also displayed when the elec-
tronic parking brake is activated.
Yellow segments: the obstacles lie on
the vehicle’s path and are at a distance
of less than approx. 30 cm away.
Red segments: obstacles are less than
approx. 30 cm away.
A wake will indicate the anticipated forward
or backward trajectory, depending on the en-
gaged gear. –
–
– If an obstacle is located in the vehicle’s way,
the corresponding audibl

e warning will
sound.
When the penultimate segment is displayed,
the vehicle has reached the collision zone. In
the collision zone, the obstacles are repre-
sented in red (including those out of the
path). Stop the vehicle! ››› in Introduction

Manoeuvre braking function* The emergency braking function is used to
minimise damage in the e
v
ent of a collision.
Depending on the equipment, if the Parking
Aid is active, the braking while manoeuvring
function activates emergency braking when it
detects an obstacle in the vehicle’s path that
could cause a collision, driving forwards or in
reverse.
The function will not brake if the Parking Aid is
activated automatically. For the system to
operate, manoeuvring speed must be be-
tween 2.5-7 km/h (1.5-4 mph) for the front
area and between 1.5-7 km/h (1-4 mph) for
the rear.
Following an intervention, the braking while
manoeuvring function will be inactive in the
same direction of travel for 5 metres. Once
the gear is changed, or the selector lever’s
position is changed, the function will be ac-
tive again. The Parking Aid’s limitations apply.
The braking while manoeuvring function is set
in the Infotainment system: function button 

Driving
Towing bracket device*
T r
ailer mode
Introduction Take into account country-specific regula-
tions about driving with a tr
ail

er and the use
of a towing bracket.
The vehicle has been developed primarily for
carrying people, although it can also be used
to tow a trailer if fitted with the corresponding
technical equipment. This additional load has
an effect on the useful life, fuel consumption
and vehicle performance and in some cases
can reduce the service intervals.
Driving with a trailer requires more force from
the vehicle, and thus more concentration
from the driver.
In winter, winter tyres should be fitted on both
the vehicle and the trailer.
Maximum vertical load technically permit-
ted on the coupling device
The maximum technical permitted vertical
load of the trailer's towing bracket on the
hook of the tow-bar is 80 kg.
Vehicles with the Start-Stop system
If the vehicle has a factory-fitted towing
bracket or one that is retrofitted by SEAT, the Start-Stop system operates as normal. No
special char
act

eristics need to be taken into
account.
If the system does not recognise the trailer or
the trailer bracket has not been retrofitted by
SEAT, the Start-Stop system must be discon-
nected by pressing the corresponding button
in the lower part of the centre console before
driving with the trailer, and it should remain
off for the rest of the journey ››› .
V ehicl

es with driving profile selection
If you are going to be towing a trailer, the use
of the Eco driving profile is not recommen-
ded. You are advised to select another of the
available driving profiles before beginning to
drive with a trailer.
Trailer weight/drawbar load
Never exceed the authorised trailer weight. If
you do not load the trailer up to the maximum
permitted trailer weight, you can then climb
correspondingly steeper slopes.
The maximum trailer weights listed are only
applicable for altitudes up to 1000 m above
sea level. Since higher altitude decreases en-
gine performance and the ability to climb
slopes, the tow load decreases proportional-
ly. The weight of the vehicle and trailer com-
bination must be reduced by 10% for every
1000 m of altitude. When possible, operate
the trailer with the maximum authorised drawbar load on the ball joint of the to

wing
bracket, but do not exceed the specified lim-
it. WARNING
Never use the trailer to transport people,
since it w oul

d put their life in danger and is
also prohibited. WARNING
Undue use of the towing bracket may
cause injury and accidents.
