Operation
In the case of retrofitted tinted windows or
w indo
ws with tinted film, the indications of
the external mirrors may not be seen clearly
or correctly.
Keep the external mirrors clean and free of
snow and ice, and do not cover them with ad-
hesives or other similar materials.
Radar sensors
The radar sensors are located on the left and
right of the bumper and are not visible from the outside
››› Fig. 193 . The sensors have a
range of approx. 20 metres behind the vehi-
cle, including the blind spots to the left and
right of the vehicle. The range to the sides of
the vehicle is a bit larger than the width of a
lane.
The lane width is not detected individually,
but is rather pre-configured in the system.
Thus if you are driving in wide lanes or in be-
tween two lanes, the indications may be in-
correct. Furthermore, the system can detect vehicles driving in the lane next to you (if
there ar
e any), and can also detect stationary
objects such as dividers, and thus give an in-
correct indication.

The faster the vehicle approaches, the sooner
an indication will be displayed in the external
mirror, because the blind spot detector takes
into account the speed differential with other
vehicles. Thus even though the distance from
the other vehicle is identical, the indication
will appear sooner in some cases and later in
others. Physical limitations inherent to the system
In some sit
uations the blind spot detector
may not interpret the traffic situation correct-
ly. E.g. in the following situations:
● on tight bends;
● in the case of lanes with different widths;
● at the top of slopes;
● in adverse weather conditions; »

ating and safety warnings WARNING
● The R e

ar Assist 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.
● Some objects may, due to the resolution of
the dis
play screen - not be displayed in a sat-
isfactory manner or may not be displayed at all. Take special care with thin posts, fences,
r
ai

lings or trees that might not be displayed
on screen and could damage the vehicle.
● The rear assist has blind spots where it is
not po
ssible 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
sno
w, and do not cover it.
● The system is not a replacement for driver
aw
areness. 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 conditions.
● Do not be distracted from the traffic by
lookin
g at the screen.
● The images on the rear assist screen are
only
two-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 line
s 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 v
ehicles shown in the navigation sys-
tem display appear to be further away or closer than they really are: Pay special atten-
tion:
– On mo v

ing 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. Note
● It i

s important to take great care and pay
special attention if you are not yet familiar
with the system.
● Rear assist will not be available if the vehi-
cl

e's rear lid is open. 252

Advice
– If
you wish to fit the vehicle with rims or
tyres different to those installed in manu-
facture, it is advisable to consult a SEAT Of- ficial Service before purchasing them.
The tyres and wheel rims are an essential
part of the vehicle's design. The tyres and
rims approved by SEAT are specially matched
to the characteristics of the vehicle and make
a major contribution to good roadholding
and safe handling ››› .
The s iz

es of the rims and tyres approved for
your vehicle are listed in the vehicle docu-
mentation (e.g. EC Certificate of Conformity or
COC document 1)
). The vehicle documentation
varies depending on the country of resi-
dence.
A knowledge of tyre designations makes it
easier to choose the correct tyres. The follow-
ing wording can be read on the sides of the
tyre:
215/60 R16 95V
This contains the following information:
215Tyre width in mm
60Height/width ratio in %
RTyre construction: Radial
16Rim diameter in inches
95Load rating code
VSpeed index The m
anufacturing date is also indicated on
the ty
re sidewall (possibly only on the inner
part):
DOT ... 2212 ...
it means, for example, that the tyre was man-
ufactured in the 22nd week of 2012.
But note that with some types of tyre, the ac-
tual tyre size can differ from the nominal size
marked on the tyre (for instance 215/60 R16
95 V), and there may be significant differen-
ces in the contours of the tyres, even though
the tyres are marked with the same nominal
size. When replacing the tyres, it is therefore
important to make sure that the actual size
of the new tyres does not exceed the dimen-
sions of the factory-approved makes of tyre.
Failure to observe this requirement can af-
fect the clearance needed for the tyres. If the
tyres rub against the bodywork, in certain
circumstances the tyres, running gear or
bodywork and pipes may be damaged, and
vehicle safety could be severely impaired
››› .
If

you use tyres that are approved by SEAT
you can be sure that the actual tyre dimen-
sions will be correct for your vehicle. If you decide to fit a different type of tyre, you must
obt

ain the appropriate manufacturer's certif-
icate from the tyre retailer to confirm that
the tyres are suitable for your vehicle. Keep
this certificate in a safe place.
Your SEAT Official Service will be able to ad-
vise you on which tyres may be fitted to your
vehicle.
It is best to have all servicing of wheels and
tyres performed by a specialised workshop.
They are familiar with the procedure and
have the necessary special tools and spare
parts as well as the proper facilities for dis-
posing of the old tyres respecting the envi-
ronment. WARNING
● It i

s very important to ensure that the tyres
you have chosen have adequate clearance.
When selecting replacement tyres, do not re-
ly entirely on the nominal tyre size marked on
the tyre, since the effective tyre size can dif-
fer significantly depending on the manufac-
turer. Inadequate tyre clearance can result in
damage to the tyres or the vehicle, causing a
serious safety risk. Risk of accident! It may
also invalidate the vehicle's registration for
use on public roads. 1)

Wheels
● Lif t
and secure the luggage compartment
floor as described in ››› page 154.
● Disconnect the sub
woofer ››› Fig. 229 1 speaker cable.
●
Turn the securing wheel in an anti-clock-
w i

se direction ››› Fig. 229 2 .
● Remove the s ub

woofer speaker and the
spare wheel.
● When re-mounting the spare tyre, place the
sub
woofer on the base of the wheel rim with
care. When doing so, the tip of the “FRONT”
arrow on the subwoofer should point for-
ward.
● Reconnect the speaker cable and firmly ro-
tat
e the securing wheel clockwise so that the
subwoofer system and wheel are firmly in
place.
Winter service
Wint
er tyres –
Winter tyres must be fitted on al

l four
wheels.
– Only use winter tyres that are approved for
your

vehicle. –
Ple
ase note that the maximum permissible
speed for winter tyres may be lower than
for summer tyres.
– Also note that winter tyres are no longer ef-
fectiv

e when the tread is worn down.
– After fitting the wheels you must always
chec

k the tyre pressures. The correct tyre
pressures are listed on the sticker on the
inside of the fuel tank flap ››› page 292.
In winter road conditions winter tyres will
considerably improve vehicle handling. The
design of summer tyres (width, rubber com-
pound, tread pattern) gives less grip on ice
and snow. This applies particularly to vehi-
cles equipped with wide section tyres or with
high speed tyres (code letters H, V or Y on
the sidewall).
Only use winter tyres of the correct type ap-
proved for your vehicle. The sizes of these
tyres are specified in the vehicle's docu-
ments (e.g. EC Certificate of Conformity or
COC 1)
). The vehicle documentation varies de-
pending on the country of residence. See al-
so ››› page 293.
Winter tyres lose a great deal of their proper-
ties when the tread is worn down to a depth
of 4 mm. The performance of winter tyres is also se-
ver

ely impaired by ageing, even if the tread is
still much deeper than 4 mm.
Winter tyres are subject to the following max-
imum speed limits according to speed rating
code letter: ›››
Speed rating
code letter
››› page 293Maximum speed limit
Q160 km/h (100 mph)
S180 km/h (112 mph)
T190 km/h (118 mph)
H210 km/h (130 mph)
V240 km/h (149 mph) (please note
relevant restrictions)
W270 km/h (168 mph)
Y300 km/h (186 mph) Vehicles capable of exceeding these speeds
mu
s

t have an appropriate sticker attached so
that it is visible to the driver. Suitable stickers
are available from the SEAT Official Service
and specialised workshop. Please note the
regulations to this effect in your country.
“All-weather” tyres can also be used instead
of winter tyres. »1)
