stem screen. The distance to the obstacles can be estima-
t
ed w

ith the help of the segments at the rear
of the vehicle.
The optical indication of the segments works
as follows:
they are displayed if the
obstacle is not in the vehicle's direction
of travel, even when the electric parking
brake is activated.
obstacles located in the
vehicle's trajectory and which are more
than 30 cm away from the vehicle are
displayed in yellow.
obstacles that are less than
30 cm away from the vehicle are dis-
played in red.
White segments:
Yellow segments:
Red segments: Whenever the obstacle is located in the vehi-
cl

e’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
those out of the path. Do not continue to re-

table on page 2
Using 4 cameras, the system generates a rep-
resentation that is shown on the infotain-
ment system display. The cameras are loca-
ted on the radiator grille, the exterior mirrors
and the rear lid.
The functions and representations of the
Area View system may vary depending on
whether or not the vehicle has ParkPilot. WARNING
The image from the cameras does not make it
po s

sible to calculate the distance to the ob-
stacles (people, vehicles, etc.) precisely, so
using them could cause serious accidents
and injury.
● The camera lenses augment and distort the
vi

sual field and the objects on the screen are
seen differently and imprecisely.
● Certain objects may not be shown or may
not be sho
wn very clearly, for example, posts
or thin rails, due to the screen resolution or if
light conditions are insufficient. ●
The c amer

as have blind spots in which ob-
stacles and people are not registered.
● The camera lens must be kept free, without
sno
w or ice, and should not be covered. WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
Ar e

a View system cannot overcome the limits
imposed by the laws of physics and it only
works within the limits of the system. The
greater convenience provided by the Area
View system should never tempt you to take
any risk that may compromise safety. If used
negligently or involuntarily, it may cause se-
rious accidents and injuries. The system is
not a replacement for driver awareness.
● Adapt your speed and driving style to suit
vi

sibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
● Do not be distracted from the traffic by
lookin
g at the screen.
● Monitor the area around the vehicle at all
times, s
ince the cameras do not capture small
children, animals and certain objects in all
situations.
● The use of a number plate may interfere in
the v
iews shown on the screen, since the
cameras' field of vision may be reduced.
● The system will probably be unable to rep-
re

sent all areas clearly. » 247

Examples of optical illusions caused by the
cameras:
The images on the area view system cameras are only
two-dimensional. Due to a lack of spatial depth, it is dif-
ficult or impossible to make out on-screen any holes
there may be on the ground, objects jutting out from the
ground or parts protruding from other vehicles.
Situations in which the objects or other vehicles appear
to be further away or closer than they really are:
– 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.»

Oper

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

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 g

ood 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-
ba
sed glass 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
● Nev er u

se abrasive cleaning products to
clean the camera lens.
● Do not use hot or warm water to remove ice
or sno
w from the camera lens. Doing so could
damage the camera. 253
