About this manual
This manual contains a description of the
equipment supplied with the vehicle at the
time this manual was published. Some of the
units described herein will not be available
until a later date or are only available in cer -
tain markets.
Because this is a general manual for the
ATECA range, some of the equipment and
functions that are described in this manual
are not included in all types or variants of the
model; they may vary or be modified depend -
ing on the technical requirements and on the
market; this is in no way deceptive advertis-
ing.
The illustrations are intended as a general
guide and may vary from the equipment fitted
in your vehicle in some details.
The steering indications (left, right, forward,
reverse) appearing in this manual refer to the
normal driving movements of the vehicle ex -
cept when otherwise indicated.
The audiovisual material only is intended to
help users to understand certain car function -
alities better. It does not replace the instruc -
tion manual. Please use the instruction manu-
al to obtain more comprehensive information
and indications.
The equipment marked with an aster -
isk* is fitted as standard only in certain

The essentials
Driver information system Intr oduction With the ignition switched on, it is possible
t
o r
ead the different functions of the display
by scrolling through the menus.
In vehicles with multifunction steering wheel,
the multifunction display can only be operat-
ed with the steering wheel buttons.
The number of menus displayed on the in-
strument panel will vary according to the ve-
hicle electronics and equipment.
A specialised workshop will be able to pro-
gramme or modify additional functions, ac-
cording to the vehicle equipment. SEAT rec-
ommends visiting a SEAT Official Service.
Some menu options can only be read when
the vehicle is at a standstill.
As long as a priority 1 warning is displayed, it
will not be possible to read the menus. Some
warning messages can be confirmed and
made to disappear with the windscreen wiper
lever button or the multifunction steering
wheel button.
The information system also provides the fol-
lowing information and displays (depending
on the vehicle's equipment):

When the outside temperature is below +4°C
(+39°F), the “ic

rystal” symbol (warning of
risk of freezing) is also displayed. At first, this
symbol flashes and then it remains lit until
the outside temperature rises above +6°C

When the vehicle is at a standstill or when
travelling at very low speeds, the tempera-
ture displayed may be higher than the true
outside temperature as a result of the heat
produced by the engine.
The temperatures measured range from
-40°C to +50°C (-40°F to +122°F). Gear-change indicator

Moreover, with the SEAT Media System
Plu s/Nav
i System radios, a yellow trail indi-
cates the vehicle's expected trajectory based
on the steering wheel angle.
Whenever the obstacle is located in the vehi-
cle’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

Area View* Introduction

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
