Parking

●

Look at the instrument cluster screen to see if

the space has been detected as “appropriate”
and if the correct position for parking has been
reached

. The

space is considered “appropriate” if the instru-
ment cluster display shows the parking indica-
tion

●

Stop the vehicle and, after a brief pause, en-

gage the reverse gear.

●

Let go of the steering wheel.

●

Please note the following message:

Intervention in active steering.
Watch your surroundings!

While keeping watch around you, carefully
start accelerating up to no more than 7 km/h
(4 mph). During the parking manoeuvre, the
system

only

takes charge of the steering.

manoeuvre until the Park Assist system has fin-
ished turning the steering wheel. The parking
manoeuvre ends when a corresponding mes-
sage is displayed on the instrument panel and,
in some cases, an acoustic signal sounds.

Progress bars

The progress bar

on the instrument cluster display shows the

relative distance to be covered as a symbol.
The greater the distance, the fuller the progress

bar. When driving forward, the content of the
progress bar decreases upwards, and when re-
versing, it decreases downwards.

Reverse Assist (Rear View
Camera)

Introduction

A camera installed in the rear lid handle assists
the driver with reverse parking or manoeuvring

›››

page 139

The camera image is viewed together with ori-
entation lines projected on the Infotainment
system screen. Part of the bumper can be seen
at the bottom, which can be used by the driver
as a reference point.

Reverse assist settings

Reverse assist offers the user the possibility to
change the image's brightness, contrast and
colour settings. To change these settings:

●

Stop the vehicle in a safe place without

switching off the ignition or the infotainment
system.

●

Apply the parking brake.

●

Select reverse gear.

●

Press the

function button displayed on

the screen.

●

Make the desired adjustments on the menu

by pressing the –/+ function buttons or by mov-
ing the scroll button.

Requirements for parking and manoeuvring
with the rear assist

The system should not be used in the following
cases:

●

If the image displayed is not very reliable or is

distorted, or if the lens is dirty.

●

If the area behind the vehicle is incomplete.

●

If the vehicle is heavily loaded.

●

If the position of the camera has changed

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 ori-
entation lines and their function, SEAT recom-
mends practising in a place without too much
traffic or in a car park when there are good
weather and visibility conditions

WARNING

●

The reverse assist does not make it possi-

ble to precisely calculate the distance from
obstacles and nor can it overcome the sys-
tem's own limits, hence its negligent use may
cause serious accidents and injuries if used
without due care. The driver should be aware
of his/her surroundings at all times to ensure
safe driving.

●

The camera lens expands and distorts the

field of view and displays the objects on the
screen in a way that is different from reality.
Distance perception is also distorted.

●

Due to the screen resolution or light con-

ditions, some items may be blurry or not dis-
played at all. Take care with thin posts, fen-
ces, railings or trees that might not be seen
on the screen and could damage the vehicle.

●

The reverse assist has blind spots where

it cannot see people or objects. Monitor the
vehicle's surrounding area at all times.

●

The system is not a replacement for driver

awareness. Supervise the parking manoeu-
vre and the vehicle's surrounding area at all
times.

●

Do not be distracted from the traffic by

looking at the screen.

●

The images are only two-dimensional. Pro-

truding objects or holes in the road, for ex-
ample, are more difficult to detect or may not
be seen at all.

CarManuals2.com

Parking and manoeuvring

The RVC button will only be displayed when reverse gear is engaged.

●

Vehicle load modifies the representation of

the guide lines. The width represented by the
lines decreases with vehicle load. Pay spe-
cial attention to the surroundings when the
inside of the vehicle of the luggage compart-
ment are loaded.

●

In the following situations, objects or other

vehicles appear to be further away or closer
than they actually are. Pay special attention:

–

If moving from a flat surface to a slope

and vice-versa.

–

If the vehicle is heavily loaded.

–

When the vehicle approaches objects

that are not on the ground surface or that
protrude from it. These objects may be out-
side the camera angle when reversing.

Note

●

It is important to take great care and pay

special attention if the driver is not familiar
with the system.

●

The reverse assist reference lines disap-

pear when the rear lid is open.

when engaging reverse gear.

●

The system switches off 8 seconds after dis-

engaging reverse gear and immediately after
removing the contact.

●

The camera will stop transmitting images

above the speed of 15 km/h (9 mph) with re-
verse engaged.

How it works

Fig. 130

Diagram of the parking assistant:

detected area around the vehicle that is driving
off.

Park Assist uses the radar sensors on the rear
bumper

›››

page 137

to monitor traffic cross-

ing behind the vehicle as it reverses out of a
parking bay, or as it is being manoeuvred, for
example in very low visibility conditions.
When the system detects a relevant vehicle on
the road that is approaching the rear of the ve-
hicle

›››

Fig. 130

, an acoustic alarm may sound

if the relevance so requires it.
In addition to the acoustic alarm, the driver is
also informed by means of a visual signal on
infotainment system display. This signal is dis-
played in the form of a red strip at the back
of the image of the vehicle on the infotainment
system screen. This strip displays the side of the
vehicle towards which traffic is approaching in
transverse direction

Automatic braking to reduce damages

›››

page 160

Connecting and disconnecting

The rear cross traffic alert can be switched on
and off by accessing the

Assistants

menu on

the dash panel display using the steering wheel
controls. If the vehicle is equipped with a multi-
function camera, it can also be accessed by
means of the assistants systems key located on
the main beam headlight lever.
When the vehicle is restarted, the last adjust-
ment in the system will remain active.

Trailer mode

The rear cross traffic alert will be automatically
deactivated and it will be impossible to activate
them if the tow hitch is electrically connected
to a trailer or other similar object. As soon as
the driver starts driving, a message appears on
the instrument cluster screen indicating that the
assistant is deactivated.
Once the trailer is uncoupled from the vehicle,
the assistant will return to its initial state prior
to the moment when the trailer was electrically
connected.
If the tow hitch is not factory fitted, then the rear
cross traffic alert will have to be deactivated
manually when driving with a trailer.

WARNING

The smart technology incorporated into the
rear cross 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 limi-

ted visibility conditions or complicated traf-
fic, e.g., in high-traffic areas or when crossing
multiple lanes.

Users can manage data sending and transfers
through the privacy mode at any time. More

Follow-up services: ask all occupants

The follow-up services need geographical and
vehicle data to determine whether the vehicle is
being used within defined speed ranges, where
it has been parked or if it is being used in an es-
tablished geographical area. This information is
displayed on the SEAT CONNECT portal and in
the SEAT CONNECT app.
Therefore, before moving off, ask all the vehi-
cle occupants if they agree with the activated
services. If they do not, deactivate the service in
question (if possible) or do not allow the occu-
pants to use the vehicle.

GPS tracking: marking

If the vehicle has a factory-assembled control
unit that transmits the its current geographical
position and speed, the vehicle usually has this
GPS marking (e.g., on the roof console). The
absence of the marking on the vehicle does not
guarantee that the control unit does not trans-
mit the vehicle’s current geographical position
and speed.

Personal information

SEAT protects your personal data and only
uses them, as long as the law allows it or you
have given your consent on the occasion of a
use. You will find detailed information on data
processing in relation to SEAT CONNECT serv-
ices in the Privacy Policy, which you can ac-
cess in its corresponding current version on the
SEAT website.

Permanent transfer of the vehicle

If another person has left you the vehicle for
permanent use (for example, if you buy a used
vehicle), SEAT CONNECT may already be acti-
vated and the previous user still has the possi-
bility of accessing the data registered through
SEAT CONNECT and control certain functions
of your vehicle.
In the infotainment system you can check if
your vehicle is assigned to a person as the
main user. In this case, you can register yourself
as the main user of the vehicle and thus auto-
matically delete the previous main user. Alter-
natively, through the infotainment system you
can directly and permanently delete the previ-
ous user as the main user, as well as put the
vehicle in offline mode and thus limit both the
communication of your vehicle with the SEAT,
S.A. data server and the processing of personal
and vehicle data.

Deactivating SEAT CONNECT serv-
ices

The following functions are available to acti-
vate and deactivate the SEAT CONNECT serv-
ices:

●

Allow or prevent data transmissions through

the infotainment system

●

Whenever possible: individual deactivation or

activation

page 185

You can run the relevant services again after
cancelling their deactivation.

Note

The services required by law and their data
transmission cannot be disconnected or de-
activated, for example, the emergency call
system (eCall).

Faults

CONNECT services are met, there may be fac-
tors beyond the control of SEAT, S.A. that inter-
fere with the execution of such services or pre-
vent them. These may be specifically:

Safety instructions

Some function areas may include links to third-
party websites. SEAT, S.A. is not the owner of
the third-party websites accessible through the
links, and assumes no liability for their content.
Some function areas may include outside infor-
mation from third-party providers. SEAT, S.A. is
not responsible for such information being cor-
rect, up-to-date or complete, or for ensuring it
does not infringe the rights of third parties.
Radio stations and owners of data media and
audio sources are responsible for the informa-
tion they transmit.

Bear in mind that parking lots, tunnels, tall
buildings, mountains or due to the operation of
other electrical devices, such as chargers, can
also interfere with the reception of the radio
signal.
Foils or adhesives with metallic layers on the
antenna and on the window panes can inter-
fere with radio reception.

WARNING

The infotainment central computer is inter-
connected with the control units mounted
on the vehicle. Therefore, there is a serious
danger of accident and injury if the central
computer is repaired or disassembled and
reassembled incorrectly.

●

Never replace the central computer with

another used, recycled or from another vehi-
cle at the end of its useful life.

●

The repair or disassembly and reassembly

of the central computer should only be car-
ried out at specialised workshops. SEAT rec-
ommends visiting a SEAT dealership for this.

WARNING

Any distraction affecting the driver in any
way can lead to an accident and cause inju-
ries. Reading the information on the screen
and managing the infotainment system can
distract your attention from traffic and cause
an accident.

●

Always drive as carefully and responsibly

as possible.

CarManuals2.com

Infotainment system

WARNING

Connecting, inserting or removing an audio
source or data media while driving can dis-
tract your attention from the traffic and
cause an accident.

WARNING

Select volume settings that allow you to
easily hear signals from outside the vehicle
at all times (e.g. emergency services sirens).

●

Hearing may be impaired if using too high a

volume setting, even if only for short periods
of time.

WARNING

The following circumstances may result in an
emergency call, phone call or data transmis-
sion not being made or being interrupted:

●

When in areas with zero or insufficient mo-

bile telephony or GPS signal. Also in tunnels,
confined areas between very tall buildings,
garages, underpasses, mountains and val-
leys.

●

When in areas with sufficient mobile phone

or GPS signal, the telephony network of
the telecommunications provider has inter-
ference or is not available.

●

When the vehicle components necessary

to make emergency calls, phone calls and to
transmit data are damaged, do not work or
do not have sufficient electrical power.

●

When the battery of the mobile phone de-

vice is discharged or its charge level is insuf-
ficient.

WARNING

In some countries and some telephone net-
works it is only possible to make an emer-
gency call, if a mobile telephone device is
connected to the telephone interface of the
vehicle, inside it there is an “unlocked” SIM
card with sufficient balance to make calls
and with sufficient network signal coverage.

WARNING

Read and observe the operating instructions
provided by the manufacturer in question
when using mobile phone devices, data me-
dia, external devices, external audio and
multimedia sources.

WARNING

When changing or connecting an audio
or multimedia source may cause sudden
changes in the volume.

●

Lower the volume before connecting or

switching to audio or multimedia sources.

WARNING

If mobile phone and radiocommunication de-
vices are used without connection to an
external antenna, the maximum electromag-
netic radiation levels inside the vehicle might
be surpassed, thus posing a risk to the health
of the driver and passengers. This is also the
case if the external antenna has not been
correctly installed.

●

Keep a distance of at least 20 centimetres

between the antennas of the mobile phone
device and an active medical device, such as
a pacemaker, as mobile phones might alter
the functioning of these devices.

●

Do not carry a mobile phone switched

on very close or directly on top of an ac-
tive medical device, for instance in a chest
pocket.

●

Immediately turn off the mobile phone if

you suspect it is causing interferences in an
active medical device or any other medical
device.

WARNING

Mobile phones, external devices and acces-
sories that are loose or not properly secured
could move around the passenger compart-
ment during a sudden driving or braking ma-
noeuvre or an accident and cause damage
or injury.

●

Set mobile phone devices, external devices

and their accessories outside the airbag de-
ployment areas or store them securely.

The centre armrest may obstruct the driver's
arm movements, which could cause an acci-
dent and severe injuries.

●

Keep the storage compartments of the

centre armrest closed at all times while the
vehicle is in motion.

WARNING

If the light conditions are not good and the
screen is damaged or dirty, the indications
and information displayed on the screen may
not be read or be read incorrectly.

●

The indications and information displayed

on the screen should never induce to take
any risk that compromises safety. The screen
is not a replacement for driver awareness.

WARNING

Radio stations can transmit disaster or haz-
ard announcements. The following condi-
tions prevent such notices from being re-
ceived or issued:

●

When in areas with zero or insufficient ra-

dio signal. Also in tunnels, confined areas
between very tall buildings, garages, under-
passes, mountains and valleys.

●

When the frequency bands of the radio

station have interference or are not available
in areas with sufficient radio signal recep-
tion.

●

When the speakers and the vehicle com-

ponents necessary for radio reception are
damaged, do not work or do not have suffi-
cient electrical power.

WARNING

Switch off mobile phone devices in areas
with a risk of explosion!

WARNING

The driving recommendations and traffic in-
dications shown on the navigation system
may differ from the current traffic situation.

●

Traffic signs, signalling systems, traffic

regulations and local circumstances prevail
over driving recommendations and naviga-
tion system indications.

●

Adapt your speed and driving style to

suit visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.

●

Certain circumstances can significantly in-

itially planned lengthen both the duration of
the trip and the route to the destination, or
even temporarily prevent navigation to it, for
example, if a road is closed to traffic.

NOTICE

In areas where special regulations apply or
the use of mobile phones is forbidden, the
mobile device in question must be switched
off at all times. The radiation produced by a
mobile phone device when switched on may
interfere with sensitive technical and medi-
cal equipment, possibly resulting in malfunc-
tion or damage to the equipment.

NOTICE

If the playback volume is excessive or distor-
ted, the speakers may be damaged.

Infotainment system

General instructions for use

Operating indications

●

The infotainment needs a few seconds for

the complete start-up of the system and during
that time it does not react to inputs. Only the
image of the rear view camera system can be
displayed during system start-up.

●

The display of all indications and the execu-

tion of functions only takes place once the info-
tainment system has finished booting. The du-
ration of the system booting depends on the
number of infotainment functions and may take
longer than normal in the event of very high or
very low temperatures.

●

When using the infotainment system and

corresponding accessories, e.g., headphones,
bear in mind country-specific regulations and
legal provisions.

●

Some functions of the infotainment system

require an active SEAT CONNECT user account
and an Internet connection for the vehicle. The
data transmission must not be limited to per-
form the functions.

●

To use the infotainment system, simply lightly

press a button or touch the screen.

●

For the correct operation of the infotainment

system it is important that it is switched on and
that, if necessary, the time and date of the vehi-
cle are set correctly.

●

If a function button is missing on the screen,

it is not a device defect, but corresponds to the
specific equipment of the country or version.

●

Some infotainment functions can only be se-

lected when the vehicle is at a standstill. In
some countries, the selector lever must also be
in the parking position

or in neutral position

It is not a malfunction, but is due to compliance
with legal provisions.

●

Restrictions on the use of devices using Blue-

tooth® technology may apply in some coun-
tries. For further information, contact the local
authorities.

●

If you disconnect the 12 volt battery, turn on

the ignition before restarting the infotainment
system.

●

If the setup is changed, this may change the

display on the screen and in some cases, the
infotainment system may behave in a manner
different to that described in this instruction
manual.

●

In some countries, the infotainment system

automatically shuts off when the engine is
switched off and the vehicle's 12-volt battery
charge level is low.

●

Ensure that any repairs or modifications that

need to be carried out on the infotainment sys-
tem are carried out by a specialised workshop.
SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT dealership
for this.

●

Using a mobile phone device inside the vehi-

cle may cause noise in the speakers.

●

On vehicles with park assist, the audio source

volume is automatically lowered when reverse
gear is selected, as well as when the doors are
opened. The volume reduction can be adjusted.

●

Information about the included software and

the license conditions can be found in

Set-

tings > Copyright

●

When selling or lending the vehicle, make

sure that all saved data, files and settings have
been deleted and, if necessary, external audio
sources and data media have been removed.
