The sensor m a
y become damaged or lose
its settings when knocked, for example, dur-
ing a parking manoeuvre. This may compro-
mise the system's efficacy or disconnect it.
● Repairs to the radar sensor require special-
ist
knowledge and special tools. SEAT recom-
mends visiting a SEAT dealership for this pur-
pose.
● A registration plate or plate holder on the
front th
at is larger than the space for the reg-
istration plate, or a registration plate that is
curved or warped can cause the radar to mal-
function.

Changing the driving profile
In vehicles with SEAT Drive Profile , the driving
profile selected can have an influence on the
ACC’s acceleration and braking behaviour
››› page 225.
In vehicles without SEAT Drive Profile , the be-
haviour of the ACC can also be affected by se-
lecting any of the following drive profiles in
the Easy Connect system:
● Normal
● Sport
● Eco
● Convenience
In this c
ase, you should access the ACC set-
tings using the  button and the

The following conditions may lead the ACC
not to react:
● If the accelerator is pressed.
● If there is no gear engaged.
● If the ESC is controlling. ●
If the driver i
s not wearing his/her seat
belt.

● Driving faster than 210 km/h (150 mph).
Driver mes
sages
 ACC not available
The system can no longer continue to guar-
antee safe vehicle detection and will be de-
activated. The sensor has lost its setting or is
damaged. Take the vehicle to a specialised
workshop and have the fault repaired.  ACC and Front Assist: cur-
rently not available. No sensor
vision
This message will be displayed to the driver if
the radar sensor's vision is impaired due, for
example, to leaves, snow, heavy fog or dirt.
Clean the sensor ››› Fig. 197.
 ACC: currently not available.
Gradient too steep
The maximum road slope has been excee-
ded, hence safe ACC operation cannot be
guaranteed. The ACC cannot be switched on.  ACC: only available in D, S
or M
Select the D/S or M position on the selector
lever.  ACC: parking brake applied
The ACC
is deactivated if the parking brake is
applied. The ACC is available once again after
the parking brake is released.
 ACC: currently not available.
Intervention of stability con-
trol
The message for the driver is displayed when
the electronic stability control (ESC) inter-
venes. In this case, the ACC is automatically
switched off.  ACC: Take action!
The message for the driver is displayed if,
when the vehicle starts up on a hill with a
mild slope, the vehicle rolls back even al-
though the ACC is activated. Apply the brake
to stop the vehicle from moving/colliding
with another vehicle.  ACC: speed limit
The message for the driver is displayed if, in
vehicles with manual gearbox, the current
speed is too low for the ACC mode.
The speed to be stored must be at least
30 km/h (18 mph). The speed limiter
switches off if the speed falls below 20 km/h
(12 mph).  ACC: available as of the 2nd

Safety Operating 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.
● The system is not a replacement for driver
awar
eness. Supervise the parking operation
at all times, as well as the vehicle's surround-
ing area. Adapt your speed and driving style at all times to suit visibility, weather, road
and traffic
c

onditions.
● Do not be distracted from the traffic by
looking at
the screen.
● The images on the rear assist screen are
only tw
o-dimensional. Due to a lack of spatial
depth, protruding parts or holes in the road,
for example, are more difficult to detect or
may not be seen at all.
● Vehicle load modifies the representation of
the orientation lines
displayed. The width
represented by the lines diminishes with ve-
hicle load. Pay special attention to the vehi-
cle's surroundings when the inside of the ve-
hicle of the luggage compartment is carrying
a heavy load.
● In the following situations, the objects or
other vehic
les shown in the navigation sys-
tem display appear to be further away or
closer than they really are: Pay special atten-
tion:
– 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.
– When the vehicle approaches objects
that are not on the ground surface or are
jutting out from it. These objects may al-
so be outside the camera's angle of vi-
sion when reversing. 234

Driver assistance systems
Note
● It i s
important to take great care and pay
special attention if you are not yet familiar
with the system.
● Rear assist will not be available if the vehi-
cle's
rear lid is open. Instructions for use
Fig. 211
On the rear bumper: location of the
r e
ar a

ssist camera. A camera on the rear bumper aids the driver
durin
g r
ev

erse parking or manoeuvring
››› Fig. 211. The camera image is viewed to-
gether with orientation lines projected by the
system on the Infotainment system screen.
The bottom of the screen displays part of the
bumper, which can be used by the driver as a
reference point. Rear assist settings
Rear a

ssist offers the user the possibility to
change the image's brightness, contrast and
colour settings.
To change these settings:
● Park the vehicle in a safe place.
● Apply the parking brake.
● Switch the ignition on.
● If necessary, switch on the Infotainment
syst
em.
● Engage reverse gear or turn the selector
lever t
o position R.
● Press the  function b
utton displayed on
the right of the image.
● Make the desired adjustments on the menu
by pr
essing the –/+ function buttons or by
moving the corresponding scroll button.
Necessary conditions for parking and ma-
noeuvring with the rear assist
The system should not be used in the follow-
ing cases:
● If the image displayed is not very reliable or
is di
storted, for example low visibility or dirty
lens.
● If the area behind the vehicle is not dis-
pla
yed very clearly or is incomplete.
● If the vehicle is heavily loaded at the rear. ●
If the pos
ition and installation angle of the
camera have been changed, e.g. 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
orientation lines and their function, SEAT rec-
ommends practising parking and manoeu-
vring with the rear assist in a place without
too much traffic or in a car park when there
are good weather and visibility conditions.
Cleaning the camera lens
Keep the camera lens clean and clear of snow
and ice:
● Moisten the lens using a normal alcohol-
based gl
ass cleaning product and clean the
lens with a dry cloth.
● Remove snow using a small brush.
● Use de-icing spray to remove any ice. CAUTION
● Never u se abr

asive cleaning products to
clean the camera lens.
● Do not use hot or warm water to remove ice
or snow fr
om the camera lens. Doing so could
damage the camera. 235
