f orm
ation on p
age 240 !
If you maintain separation from the obstacle,
the volume of the warning begins to reduce
after four seconds (does not affect the tone
of the constant warning).
Activating/Deactivating
When engaging reverse gear, the parking aid
is automatically switched on. This is con-
firmed with a short warning.
On disengaging reverse gear, the Parking Aid
system is disconnected immediately. Parking Aid Plus* Fig. 215
Represented area. During parking, P
ark
in
g System Plus assists
the driver by visually and audibly warning
them about obstacles detected in front of
and behind the vehicle.
There are ultrasound sensors integrated in
the front and rear bumpers. When they detect
an obstacle, you are alerted by audible warn-
ings and visually on the Easy Connect sys-
tem.
In the event of danger of a frontal collision,
the audible warnings come from the front of
the vehicle, and in the event of the danger of
a rear-end collision they come from the rear.
Make particularly sure that the sensors are
not covered by adhesives, residues and the
like, as this could affect the system's opera-
tion. Cleaning instructions ››› page 263. The approximate measurement range of the
sensors

is:
1.20 m
1.60 m
0.90 m
As you approach the obstacle, the time inter-
val between the audible warnings will be re-
duced. When you reach around 0.30 m the
warning will be constant: do not continue to
move forward (or backward)!
If you maintain separation from the obstacle,
the volume of the warning begins to reduce
after four seconds (does not affect the tone
of the constant warning).
In order to view the entire periphery of the ve-
hicle, the vehicle must be moved a few me-
tres forwards and backwards. Thus, the miss-
ing areas are screened and obstacles at the
sides of the vehicle are displayed

The optical indication of the segments works
as follows:
a white segment is dis-
played when the obstacle is not within
the vehicle's trajectory or the direction
of travel is in the opposite direction to
its location, and it is more than 30 cm
from the vehicle.
obstacles located in the
vehicle's trajectory and which are more
than 30 cm away from the vehicle are
displayed in yellow.
White segments:
Yellow segments: obstacles that are less than
30 cm aw

ay from the vehicle are dis-
played in red.
Moreover, with the SEAT Media System
Plus/Navi System radios, a yellow trail indi-
cates the vehicle's expected journey based
on the steering wheel angle.
Whenever the obstacle is located in the vehi-
cle’s direction of travel, the corresponding
audible warning will sound.
As the vehicle approaches an obstacle, the
segments are displayed closer to the vehicle.
When the penultimate segment is displayed,
this means that the vehicle has reached the
collision zone. In the collision zone, the ob-
stacles are represented in red, including

Braking while manoeuvring function* 3 Only valid with Parking System Plus
The emer
g

ency braking function is used to
minimise damage in the event 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 and 10 km/h (between 1.5 and 6
mph) for the front area and between 1.5 and
10 km/h (between 1 and 6 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 ap-

Safety Operating and safety warnings
WARNING
● The Re ar As

sist does not make it possible
to precisely calculate the distance from ob-
stacles (people, vehicles, etc.) and nor can it
overcome the system's own limits, hence us-
ing it may cause serious accidents and inju-
ries if used negligently or without due care.
The driver should be aware of his/her sur-
roundings at all times to ensure safe driving.
● The camera lens expands and distorts the
field of
vision and displays the objects on the
screen in a different, vague manner. The per-
ception of distances is also distorted by this
effect.
● Due to the screen resolution or insufficient
light condition
s, some items may be dis-
played in an unsatisfactory manner or not at
all. Take special care with thin posts, fences,
railings or trees that might not be displayed
on screen and could damage the vehicle.
● The rear assist has blind spots where it is
not pos
sible to represent people or objects
(small children, animals and certain objects
cannot be detected in its field of vision). Mon-
itor the vehicle's surrounding area at all
times.
● Keep the camera lens clean, free of ice and
snow
, and do not cover it.
● The system is not a replacement for driver
awar
eness. Supervise the parking operation
at all times, as well as the vehicle's surround-
ing area. Adapt your speed and driving style at all times to suit visibility, weather, road
and traffic
c

onditions.
● Do not be distracted from the traffic by
looking at
the screen.
● The images on the rear assist screen are
only tw
o-dimensional. Due to a lack of spatial
depth, protruding parts or holes in the road,
for example, are more difficult to detect or
may not be seen at all.
● Vehicle load modifies the representation of
the orientation lines
displayed. The width
represented by the lines diminishes with ve-
hicle load. Pay special attention to the vehi-
cle's surroundings when the inside of the ve-
hicle of the luggage compartment is carrying
a heavy load.
● In the following situations, the objects or
other vehic
les shown in the navigation sys-
tem display appear to be further away or
closer than they really are: Pay special atten-
tion:
– On moving from a horizontal plane to a
slope.
– On moving from a slope to a horizontal
plane.
– If the vehicle is heavily loaded at the
rear.
– When the vehicle approaches objects
that are not on the ground surface or are
jutting out from it. These objects may al-
so be outside the camera's angle of vi-
sion when reversing. 246

Necessary conditions for parking and ma-
noeuvring with the rear assist
The system should not be used in the follow-
ing cases:
● If the image displayed is not very reliable or
is di
storted, for example low visibility or dirty
lens.
● If the area behind the vehicle is not dis-
pla
yed very clearly or is incomplete.
● If the vehicle is heavily loaded at the rear. ●
If the pos
ition and installation angle of the
camera have been changed, e.g. after a rear-
end collision. Have the system checked by a
specialised workshop.
Familiarising yourself with the system
To familiarise yourself with the system, the
orientation lines and their function, SEAT rec-
ommends practising parking and manoeu-
vring with the rear assist in a place without
too much traffic or in a car park when there
are good weather and visibility conditions.
Cleaning the camera lens
Keep the camera lens clean and clear of snow
and ice:
● Moisten the lens using a normal alcohol-
based gl
ass cleaning product and clean the
lens with a dry cloth.
● Remove snow using a small brush.
● Use de-icing spray to remove any ice. CAUTION
● Never u se abr

asive cleaning products to
clean the camera lens.
● Do not use hot or warm water to remove ice
or snow fr
om the camera lens. Doing so could
damage the camera. 247

Checking and refilling levels
We recommend the use of diesel
f uel which
complies to European standard EN 590. If
diesel fuel which meets European standard
EN 590 is not available, the Cetane number
(CZ) must, at minimum, be 51. If the engine
is equipped with a particulate filter, the sul-
phur content of the fuel must be below 50
parts per million.
Winter-grade diesel
Summer fuel becomes thicker in winter and it
is more difficult to start the engine. For this
reason, petrol stations in some countries al-
so offer winter diesel with improved fluidity
when cold (winter-grade diesel). CAUTION
● The v ehic

le is not designed for the use of
FAME fuel (biodiesel). The fuel system would
be damaged if you used biodiesel.
● Do not mix fuel additives, the so-called
“thinners”, petro
l or similar additives with
diesel fuel.
● If poor-quality diesel fuel is used, it may be
neces
sary to drain the fuel filter more fre-
quently than is specified in the Maintenance
Programme. We recommend having this done
by a specialised workshop. If water is allowed
to collect in the filter, this can cause engine
performance problems. AdBlue
