Parking assistant (RCTA) Fig. 211
Schematic representation of the rear
c r
o

ss traffic alert: zone monitored around the
vehicle exiting the parking space. The parking assistant uses the radar sensors
on the r
e
ar b

umper ››› Fig. 208 to monitor the
traffic crossing behind the vehicle as it backs
out of a parallel parking space or as it is be-
ing manoeuvred, for example in very low visi-
bility conditions. If the system detects that someone else on
the roa

d is approaching the rear of the vehi-
cle ››› Fig. 211, an acoustic alarm is heard.
In addition to the acoustic alarm, the driver is
also informed by means of a visual signal on
the radio screen. This signal is displayed in
the form of a red strip at the back of the im-
age of the vehicle on the radio screen. This
strip displays the side of the vehicle towards
which traffic is approaching. 1)
Automatic braking to reduce damages
If the rear cross traffic alert detects that
someone else on the road is approaching the
rear of the vehicle and the driver does not
step on the brake, the system will engage the
brakes automatically.
The parking system helps the driver by auto-
matically engaging the brakes to reduce any
damage. The system will brake automatically
if the vehicle is reversing at a speed of ap-
proximately 1-12 km (1-7 mph). Once it has
detected that the vehicle has stopped, the
system will keep the vehicle stopped for ap-
prox. 2 seconds.
After automatically braking to reduce dam-
age, the system will not be able to automati-
cally brake again for approximately 10 sec-
onds. You can interrupt the automatic braking by
step
ping hard on the accelerator pedal or the
brake pedal in order to regain control of the
vehicle. WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
re ar c

ross traffic alert cannot overcome the
limits imposed by the laws of physics; it only
works within the limits of the system. The
parking assistant function should not tempt
you into taking any risks. The system is not a
replacement for driver awareness.
● The system should never be used in limited
vis
ibility conditions or complicated traffic,
e.g., in high-traffic areas or when crossing
multiple lanes.
● Be sure to always be aware of the vehicle's
surrou
ndings, since the system often fails to
detect things such as bicycles or pedestrians.
● The rear cross traffic alert itself will not
brake the
vehicle to a complete stop. 1)
It is only displayed if the vehicle is equipped with
a park in

g system. 241

Operation
Vehicles with the Start-Stop system
If the
v
ehicle has a factory-fitted towing
bracket or one that is retrofitted by SEAT, the
Start-Stop system operates as normal. No
special characteristics 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 ehic
l

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. WARNING
Never use the trailer to transport people,
sinc e it

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

cidents.
● Only use the towing bracket if it is in a per-
fect s
tate of repair and is properly secured. ●
Never modif y

or repair the towing bracket
in any way.
● In order to reduce the danger of injury in
the event of
rear-end collisions and to avoid
injury to pedestrians and cyclists when park-
ing the vehicle, cover or remove the tow hitch
when you are not using a trailer.
● Never fit a towing bracket “with weight dis-
tribution” or “loa
d compensation”. The vehi-
cle has not been designed for this type of
towing bracket. The towing bracket could fail
and the trailer could be released from the ve-
hicle. WARNING
Driving with a trailer and transporting heavy
or lar g

e objects can affect driving properties
and even cause an accident.
● Always secure the load properly using belts
or strap
s that are suitable and in good condi-
tion.
● Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times t
o suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions.
● Trailers with a high centre of gravity are
more likely
to overturn than those with a low
one.
● Avoid sudden braking and manoeuvres.
● Take great care when overtaking.
● Reduce speed immediately if you notice
that the tr
ailer is swaying, however slightly. ●
Never driv e at

more than 80 km/h (50 mph)
when towing a trailer (or at more than
100 km/h (60 mph) in exceptional circum-
stances). This also applies in countries where
driving at higher speeds is permitted. Take
into account the speed limit for vehicles with
trailers in the corresponding country, as it
could be less than the speed limit for vehi-
cles without a trailer.
● Never attempt to “straighten” the towing
vehicl
e and trailer while accelerating. WARNING
If the towing bracket has been retrofitted by a
non-S EA

T workshop, the Start-Stop system
must be disconnected manually whenever
driving with a trailer. Otherwise the brake
system could be damaged and could conse-
quently cause a serious accident or injury.
● Always disconnect the Start-Stop system
manual
ly when using a towing bracket that
has not been fitted by a SEAT workshop. Note
● Bef or

e hitching or unhitching a trailer, al-
ways deactivate the anti-theft alarm
››› page 125. Otherwise, the tilt sensor could
cause the alarm to go off.
● Do not drive with a trailer for the engine's
first
1000 km ››› page 201.
● SEAT recommends that, if possible, the tow
hitch be di
sassembled or covered when it is274

13Earth for pin 9 Trailer power socket
The v
ehic

le is fitted with a 13-pole power
socket for the electrical connection between
the trailer and the vehicle. With the engine
running, electrical devices on the trailer re-
ceive power from the electrical connection
(pin 9 and pin 10 of the trailer power socket).
If the system detects that a trailer has been
connected electrically, the electrical equip-
ment on the trailer will receive voltage
through this connection (pins 9 and 10). Pin
9 has a permanent live. This powers, for ex-
ample, the trailer's interior lighting. Electrical
devices such as a fridge in a caravan only re-
ceive electrical power if the engine is running
(through pin 10).
To avoid overloading the electrical system,
you cannot connect the ground wires of pin
3, pin 11 or pin 13.
If the trailer has a 7-contact connector , you
will need to use an adapter cable. In this case
the function corresponding to pin 10 will not
be available. Tow rope
The to
w r

ope must always be securely fixed
to the towing vehicle and loose enough so
that the vehicle can handle turns smoothly.
However, make sure that the cable does not
rub on the ground while driving.
Trailer rear lights
Always check the trailer's rear lights to en-
sure they are working correctly and that they
comply with the relevant safety regulations.
Make sure that the maximum permissible
power that can be absorbed by the trailer is
not exceeded ››› page 276.
Connection to the anti-theft system
The trailer is included in the anti-theft system
if the following conditions are met: ● If the vehicle is factory-equipped with an
anti-theft al
arm and towing bracket.
● If the trailer is electrically connected to the
tow
ing vehicle through the trailer power
socket.
● If the electrical systems of the vehicle and
trail
er are in perfect condition and have no
faults or damage.
● If the vehicle is locked with the key and the
anti-theft al
arm is activated.
When the vehicle is locked, the alarm is trig-
gered if the electrical connection with the
trailer is cut off.
278

Towing bracket device*
Before hitching or unhitching a trailer, always
t urn off
the anti-thef
t alarm. Otherwise, the
tilt sensor could cause the alarm to go off.
Trailers with LED rear lights
For technical reasons, trailers fitted with LED
rear lights cannot be connected to the anti-
theft alarm system.
When the vehicle is locked, the alarm does
not go off when the electrical connection with
the trailer is cut if it has rear lights with light-
emitting diodes.
If the Eco driving profile was selected when
hitching the trailer, this will automatically
switch to the Normal profile. If the system
cannot detect the attached trailer or if the
towing bracket has been retrofitted by an au-
to repair shop other than SEAT, you must
manually select the Normal profile before you
start driving with a trailer attached. To recon-
nect the Eco profile once the trailer has been
unhitched, switch the ignition off and back
on once. WARNING
If the cables are improperly or incorrectly
connect ed, it

may lead to an excessive
amount of current supplied to the trailer,
which can cause abnormalities in the entire
vehicle electronic system, as well as acci-
dents and serious injuries. ●
Ens ur

e that any repairs that need to be car-
ried out on the electrical system are carried
out by a specialised workshop.
● Never connect the trailer's electric system
directly t
o the electrical connections of the
tail lights or any other power sources. WARNING
Contact between the pins of the trailer power
soc ket

can cause short circuits, overloading
of the electrical system or failure of the light-
ing system, and consequently can cause acci-
dents and serious injuries.
● Never connect the pins of the trailer power
socket
to each other.
● Make sure any work on bent pins is carried
out by
a specialised workshop. CAUTION
Do not leave the trailer connected to the vehi-
cl e when p

arked; place it on its support
wheel or its supports. If the vehicle rises or
falls due, for example, to a variation of the
load or a burst tyre, increased pressure will
be placed on the towing bracket and the trail-
er, and both the vehicle and the trailer can be
damaged. Note
● In ca se of

malfunctioning of the electrical
systems of the vehicle or trailer, as well as of the anti-theft system, have these checked out
by
a s

pecialised workshop.
● If the trailer accessories consume energy
through the pow
er socket to the trailer and
the engine is turned off, the battery will dis-
charge.
● If the vehicle battery is running low, the
electrica
l connection with the trailer will be
automatically cut. Loading a trailer
