AUX Seat Ateca 2018 User Guide

Operation
WARNING
Never programme the auxiliary heater so that
it sw it
ches itself on and is running in an en-
closed space or an area with no ventilation.
The auxiliary heater exhaust fumes contain
carbon monoxide, an odourless and colour-
less toxic gas. Carbon monoxide can cause
people to lose consciousness. It can also
cause death. Operating instructions
The auxiliary heater exhaust system located
belo
w the
v

ehicle must be kept clear of snow,
mud and other objects. The exhaust fumes
must be able to exit freely. The emissions
generated by the auxiliary heater are re-
moved via an exhaust pipe fitted underneath
the vehicle.
On heating the vehicle interior, depending on
the outside temperature, the warm air is first
directed at the windscreen and then to the
rest of the vehicle interior through the air
vents. Directing the diffusers – towards the
windows for example – can affect air distribu-
tion.
When will the auxiliary heater not be activa-
ted?
● The auxiliary heater requires about as
much po w

er as the dipped beam headlights.
If the 12-volt battery charge is too low, the auxiliary heater switches off automatically
and cannot
be sw

itched on. This avoids prob-
lems when starting the engine.
● The heating must be activated every time
you want
to set off. Similarly, the departure
time must reactivate each time.
● The control lamp  (fuel l
evel indicator)
lights up. Note
● Noise s

will be heard while the auxiliary
heater is running.
● When the air humidity is high and the in-
side temper
ature low, condensation from the
heating and ventilating system may evapo-
rate when the auxiliary heater is switched on.
In this case, steam may be released from un-
derneath the vehicle. This does not mean
that there is a vehicle malfunction.
● If the vehicle is tilted, e.g. if parked on a
slope, the operation of
the auxiliary heater
may be restricted if the fuel tank level is low
(just above the reserve level).
● If the auxiliary heater is used a number of
times f
or a long period of time, the 12-volt
battery will lose its charge. To recharge the
battery, the vehicle must be driven for a num-
ber of kilometres from time to time. As a
guideline: The journey should last approxi-
mately as long as the heater was connected.
● At temperatures below +5°C (+41°F), the
auxili
ary heater may switch itself on automat-
ically when the engine is switched on. The auxiliary heater is switched off again after a
cer
t

ain time.180

Driving
●
Never u se s
prays to cold start the engine. CAUTION
● The s tar

ter motor or the engine may be
damaged if you try to start the engine while
driving or if you restart it immediately after
switching it off.
● If the engine is cold, avoid high engine
speeds, p
ushing the engine too hard and rap-
id acceleration.
● Do not start the engine by pushing the ve-
hicle or t
owing it. Unburnt fuel could enter
the catalytic converter and damage it. Note
● Do not w ait

until the engine warms up with
the vehicle stationary; if you have good visi-
bility through the windows, start driving im-
mediately. This helps the engine reach oper-
ating temperature faster and reduces emis-
sions.
● Electrical components with a high power
cons
umption are switched off temporarily
when the engine starts.
● When starting with a cold engine, noise
level
s may briefly increase. This is quite nor-
mal, and no cause for concern.
● When the outside temperature is below
+5°C (+41°F), if the en
gine is diesel, some
smoke may appear under the vehicle when
the fuel-operated auxiliary heater is on. Stopping the engine

Never switch off the engine while the vehicle
is mo

ving. This could cause loss of control of
the vehicle, accidents and serious injury.
● The airbags and belt tensioners do not
work when the ignition i
s switched off.
● The brake servo does not work with the en-
gine off. Ther
efore, you need to press the
break pedal harder to brake the vehicle. ●
Po w

er steering does not work when the en-
gine is not running. You need more strength
to steer when the engine is switched off.
● If the ignition is switched off, the steering
column c
ould be locked, making it impossible
to control the vehicle. CAUTION
If the engine is made to work hard for a long
time, it ma

y overheat after being switched
off. To prevent damage to the engine before
switching it off, leave it idle for approx. 2 mi-
nutes in neutral. Note
After switching off the engine, the cooling fan
ma y

continue to operate in the engine com-
partment for a few more minutes, even with
the ignition off. The radiator fan is automati-
cally switched off. “My Beat” Function
For vehicles with a convenience key there is
the “M

Once connected, the Auto Hold function as-
sists the driver in keeping the vehicle station-
ary at repeated intervals or for a certain peri-
od of time with the engine running, for exam-
ple, when going up a slope, when stopped at
traffic lights or in heavy traffic with intermit-
tent stops. When connected, the Auto Hold function au-
tomatic

ally prevents the vehicle from rolling
when stationary without pressing the brake
pedal.
After detecting that the vehicle is stationary
and the brake pedal has been released, the
Auto Hold function holds the vehicle. The
driver can lift their foot off the brake pedal.

al or accelerates slightly to continue driving,
the Auto Hold function releases the brake.
The vehicle moves according to the slope of
the road.
If the vehicle is stationary and one of the con-
ditions required by the Auto Hold function is
impaired, it disconnects itself and the but-
ton's control light goes out ››› Fig. 185. The

Operation
Introduction Using 4 cameras, the system generates a rep-
re
sent
ation 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
pos s

ible 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
vis
ual field and the objects on the screen are
seen differently and imprecisely.
● Certain objects may not be shown or may
not be shown
very clearly, for example, posts
or thin rails, due to the screen resolution or if
light conditions are insufficient.
● The cameras have blind spots in which ob-
stac
les and people are not registered.
● The camera lens must be kept free, without
snow or ic
e, and should not be covered. WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
Top V

iew Camera* system cannot overcome the limits imposed by the laws of physics and
it on
ly

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
vis
ibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
● Do not be distracted from the traffic by
looking at
the screen.
● Monitor the area around the vehicle at all
times, sinc
e the cameras do not capture small
children, animals and certain objects in all
situations.
● The use of a number plate may interfere in
the view
s shown on the screen, since the
cameras' field of vision may be reduced.
● The system will probably be unable to rep-
resent
all areas clearly. CAUTION
● The camer a im

ages are only two-dimen-
sional. Due to a lack of spatial depth, objects
that jut out or holes on the road, for example,
are more difficult to detect or may not be
seen at all.
● In certain circumstances, the camera does
not capt
ure objects such as beams, fences,
posts or thin trees, which could damage the vehicle. ●
The sys t

em displays the auxiliary lines and
boxes regardless of the vehicle's environ-
ment, no objects are detected. The driver is
responsible for determining that the vehicle
will fit in the parking space. CAUTION
In order to guarantee good system operation,
k eep the c amer

as clean, free of snow or ice,
and do not cover them with adhesives or oth-
er objects.
● Never use abrasive cleaning products to
cle
an the camera lenses.
● Do not use hot or warm water to remove ice
or snow fr
om the camera lenses. Doing so
could damage the lenses. Area View system

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.
Examples of optical illusions caused by the
cameras:
– If the vehicle approaches protruding objects. These
objects may be outside the cameras' angle of visibility. Trailer mode

In order to become familiar with the system
and its f

unctions, SEAT recommends that you
practice handling the Area View system in an
area where there is not too much traffic or in
a car park. 268

g 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.270
