could otherwise freeze on the windscreen and

cure your view of the road.
● Always note the corresponding warnings
›››

 page 69. WARNING
The rain sensor* may not detect enough rain
t o sw it

ch on the wipers.
● If necessary, switch on the wipers manually
when water on the w
indscreen obstructs visi-
bility. CAUTION
In icy conditions, always check that the wind-
sc r

een wipers and the window wiper are not
frozen. If you switch on the windscreen wip-
ers when the wiper blades are frozen to the
windscreen, you could damage both the wip-
er blades and the wiper motor. Note
● The wiper s

and washers will work only
when the ignition is switched on.
● The heat output of the heated jets* is con-
trol
led automatically when the ignition is
switched on, depending upon the outside
temperature.
● In certain versions of vehicles with alarms,
the winds
creen wiper will only work in inter-
val/rain sensor mode when the ignition is on
and the bonnet closed. ●
When the inter v

al wipe function is on, the
intervals are directly proportional to the
speed. This way, the higher the vehicle speed
the shorter the intervals.
● If you stop the vehicle with the windscreen
wiper in pos
ition 1 or 2, it will automatically
change to a lower position speed. The set
speed will be resumed when the vehicle pulls
away.
● The windscreen will be wiped again after
appro
ximately five seconds once the “auto-
matic wash/wipe system” has been activa-
ted, provided the vehicle is moving (drip func-
tion). If you activate the wipers less than 3
seconds after the drip function, a new wash
sequence will begin without performing the
last wipe. For the “drip” function to work
again, you have to turn the ignition off and
then on again.
● Do not put stickers on the windscreen in
front of
the rain sensor*. This may cause sen-
sor disruption or faults.
● Depending on the version of the model,
when you en
gage reverse gear and with the
headlight wiper activated, this can start a
wipe. Rear view mirrors
Int erior mirr or It is dangerous to drive if you cannot see
c
le

arly through the rear window. Interior mirror with automatic anti-dazzle
function*
The anti-d

azzle function is activated every
time the ignition is switched on.
When the anti-dazzle function is enabled, the
interior rear vision mirror will darken auto-
matically according to the amount of light it
receives. The anti-dazzle function is cancel-
led if reverse gear is engaged. Note
● The autom atic

anti-dazzle function will only
work properly if the sun blind* for the rear
window is retracted and there are no other
objects preventing light from reaching the in-
terior rear vision mirror.
● If you have to stick any type of sticker on
the winds
creen, do not do so in front of the
sensors. Doing so could prevent the anti-daz-
zle function from working well or even from
working at all. Folding in the exterior mirrors man-

● Con v

ex or aspheric mirrors increase the
field of vision however the objects appear
smaller and further away in the mirrors. If you
use these mirrors to estimate the distance to
vehicles behind you when changing lane, you
could make a mistake. Risk of accident.
● If possible, use the rear vision mirror to es-
timate di
stances to vehicles behind you.
● Make sure that you do not get your finger
trapped betw
een the mirror and the mirror
base when folding back the mirrors. Risk of
injury! For the sake of the environment
The exterior mirror heating should be switch-
ed off when it i

s no longer needed. Other-
wise, it is an unnecessary fuel waste. » 145

Operation
Blind spot detector (BSD) with
p ark
in
g assistance (RCTA)*
Introduction The blind spot detector (BSD) helps to detect
the traffic
s

ituation behind the vehicle.
The integrated parking assistant (RCTA) helps
the driver when backing out of a parallel
parking spot and in manoeuvring.
The blind spot detector has been developed
for driving on paved roads. WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
blind s pot

detector (BSD) with parking assis-
tance (RCTA) included cannot overcome the
limits imposed by the laws of physics; it only
works within the limits of the system. Acci-
dents and severe injury may occur if the blind
spot detection system or the rear cross traffic
alert are used negligently or involuntarily.
The system is not a replacement for driver
awareness.
● Adapt your speed and safe distance to the
vehicl
e in front of you at all times to suit visi-
bility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
● Keep your hands on the wheel at all times
to be re
ady to intervene in the steering at any
time.
● Pay attention to the control lamps that may
come on in the ext
ernal rear view mirrors and on the instrument panel, and follow any in-
struction
s

they may give.
● The blind spot assistant could react to any
speci
al constructions that might be present
on the sides of the vehicle: e.g. high or irreg-
ular dividers. This may cause erroneous warn-
ings.
● Never use the blind spot detector with rear
cro
ss traffic alert on unpaved roads. The blind
spot detector with rear cross traffic alert has
been designed for use on paved roads.
● Always pay attention to the vehicle's sur-
roundin
gs.
● Never use the blind spot detector or the
parkin
g assistant if the radar sensors are
dirty.
● The external rear view mirror control lamps
may
have limited functionality due to solar
radiation. CAUTION
● The ra d

ar sensors on the rear bumper may
be damaged or shifted in the event of a colli-
sion, for example, when entering or exiting a
parking space. This may result in the system
disconnecting itself, or at least possibly hav-
ing its functionality diminished.
● In order to ensure that the radar sensors
work pr
operly, keep the rear bumper free of
snow and ice and do not cover it.
● The rear bumper should only be painted
with paint
authorised by SEAT. The blind spot detector's functions may be limited or work
incorr
ectly

if other paints are used. Note
If the blind spot detector with parking assis-
t ant doe

s not work as described in this chap-
ter, do not use it and contact a specialised
workshop. Control lamps

Lights up once briefly: the blind spot detector is activa-

Lights up: blind spot detector has detected a vehicle in
the blind spot.

Flashes
The blind spot detector has detected a vehicle in the
blind spot and the turn signal has been turned on in the
direction of the detected vehicle
›››
. Some warning and control lamps will light up
briefly
when the ignition i
s

switched on to
check certain functions. They will switch off
after a few seconds.
If there are no indications from the control
lamp in the external rear view mirror, this
220

Driver assistance systems
means that the blind spot detector has not
det ect
ed an
y other vehicles in the area ››› .
If the dip
ped be
am is on, then the control
lamps in the external rear view mirrors will be
dimmed (night mode). WARNING
If the warning lamps and the corresponding
mes s

ages are ignored when they light up, the
vehicle may stall in traffic and cause acci-
dents and severe injuries.
● Never ignore the warning lamps or messag-
es.
● Carr

y out the necessary operations. CAUTION
Failure to heed the control lamps and corre-
spondin g t

ext messages when they light up
may result in damage to the vehicle. Blind spot detector (BSD)

s. The blind spot detector uses radar sensors to
monit
or the ar
e

as behind the vehicle
››› Fig. 202. The system does this by measur-
ing the vehicle's distance from other vehicles
and its speed differential. The blind spot de-
tector will not work at speeds of less than ap-
prox. 15 km/h (9 mph). The system uses opti-
cal signals in the external rear view mirrors to
notify the driver.
Indication in the external rear view mirrors
The control lamp (expanded view) provides
an indication in the corresponding external
mirror ››› Fig. 201 regarding the traffic situa-
tion behind the vehicle, if it is deemed to be
critical. The control lamp of the left-hand ex-
ternal mirror indicates the traffic situation to
the left of the vehicle, and the control lamp of
the right-hand external mirror indicates the
traffic situation to the right of the vehicle. »
