2018 Seat Ateca four wheel drive

Operation
after four seconds (does not affect the tone
of the c
on
stant warning).
In order to view the entire periphery of the ve-
hicle, the vehicle must be moved a few me-
tres forwards and backwards. Thus, the miss-
ing areas are screened and obstacles at the
sides of the vehicle are displayed

al features of ParkPilot with Area View
In the following situations the screened area
on the side of the vehicle is automatically
hidden:
● When a vehicle door is opened.
● When the ASR is switched off.
● When there is ASR or ESC regulation.
● If the vehicle remains stationary for more
than appr
oximately 3 minutes. WARNING
● Alw a

ys pay attention, also when looking
straight ahead, to traffic and the vehicle sur-
roundings. The assistance systems are not a
replacement for driver awareness. When in-
serting or removing the vehicle from a park-
ing space, or when performing similar ma-
noeuvres the driver always assumes the re-
sponsibility.
● Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times t
o suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions. ●
The ultr a

sound sensors have blind spots in
which obstacles and people are not regis-
tered. Pay special attention to children and
animals.
● Always keep visual control of the vehicle
surrou
ndings: use the mirrors for additional
help. CAUTION
Parking Aid functions may be negatively af-
f ect ed b

y different factors that may lead to
damage to the vehicle or its immediate sur-
rounds:
● Under certain circumstances, the system
does not
detect or display certain objects:
– Objects such as chains, trailer draw bars,
fences, posts and thin trees.
– Objects that are located above the sen-
sors, such as protrusions in a wall.
– Objects with certain surfaces or struc-
tures, such as wire mesh fences or pow-
der snow.
● Certain surfaces of objects and garments
do not refl
ect the ultrasound sensors' sig-
nals. The system cannot detect these objects
or people wearing such clothes correctly.
● Ultrasound sensor signals may be affected
by e
xternal sound sources. In certain circum-
stances this may prevent them from detect-
ing people or objects.
● Please note that low obstacles detected by
the syst
em may no longer be registered by the sensors as the car moves closer, so the
sys
t

em will not give any further warning. In
certain circumstances, objects such as high
kerbs that could damage the bottom of the
vehicle are not detected either.
● If the first warning from the ParkPilot is ig-
nored, the v
ehicle could suffer considerable
damage.
● The knocks or damage on the radiator
grill
e, bumper, wheel arch and vehicle under-
body can adjust the orientation of the sen-
sors. This can affect the parking aid function.
In this case, have the function checked by a
specialised workshop.
● A registration plate or plate holder on the
front w
ith larger than the space for the regis-
tration plate, or a registration plate that is
curved or warped can cause:
– false detections,
– loss of sensor visibility. Note
● In cer t

ain situations, the system can give a
warning even though there is no obstacle in
the detected area, e.g:
–with rough or cobbled floors or ground
with long grass;
– with external ultrasound sources, such as
cleaning vehicles or other vehicles equip-
ped with ultrasound systems;
– in downpours, intense snow, hail or
dense exhaust gases, 258

Driver assistance systems
The approximate measurement range of the
r e
ar sen
sors is:
side area0.60 m
central area1.60 m As you approach the obstacle, the time inter-
val
betw

een the audible warnings will be re-
duced. When you reach around 0.30 m the
warning will be constant: Do not continue to
move forward (or backward) ››› ,
››› !
If y

ou maintain separation from the obstacle,
the volume of the warning begins to reduce
after four seconds (does not affect the tone
of the constant warning).
Activating/Deactivating
When engaging reverse gear, the parking aid
is automatically switched on. This is con-
firmed with a short warning.
On disengaging reverse gear, the parking aid
system is switched off. WARNING
● Alw a

ys pay attention, also when looking

roundings. The assistance systems are not a

Wheels
To remove the spare wheel, you must first re-
mo v
e the s
ubwoofer.
● Lift and secure the luggage compartment
floor as de
scribed in ››› page 168.
● Disconnect the subwoofer
››› Fig. 247 1 speaker cable.
●
Turn the securing wheel in an anti-clock-
w i
se dir

ection ››› Fig. 247 2 .
● Remove the s ub
woofer
speaker and the
spare wheel.
● When re-mounting the spare tyre, place the
subwoofer
on the base of the wheel rim with
care. When doing so, the tip of the “FRONT”
arrow on the subwoofer should point for-
ward.
● Reconnect the speaker cable and firmly ro-
tate the sec
uring wheel clockwise so that the
subwoofer system and wheel are firmly in
place.
Winter service
Winter ty
res–
Winter tyres must be fitted on al
l
four
wheels. –
Only u
se winter tyres that are approved for
your vehicle.
– Please note that the maximum permissible
speed for w

inter tyres may be lower than
for summer tyres.
– Also note that winter tyres are no longer ef-
fective when the

tread is worn down.
– After fitting the wheels you must always
check

the tyre pressures. When doing so,
take into account the correct tyre pressures
listed on the rear of the front left door
frame ››› page 308.
In winter road conditions winter tyres will
considerably improve vehicle handling. The
design of summer tyres (width, rubber com-
pound, tread pattern) gives less grip on ice
and snow. This applies particularly to vehi-
cles equipped with wide section tyres or with
high speed tyres (code letters H, V or Y on
the sidewall).
Only use winter tyres of the correct type ap-
proved for your vehicle. The sizes of these
tyres are specified in the vehicle's docu-
ments (e.g. EC Certificate of Conformity or
COC 1)
). The vehicle documentation varies de-
pending on the country of residence. See al-
so ››› page 309. Winter tyres lose a great deal of their proper-
ties when the
tr

ead is worn down to a depth
of 4 mm.
The performance of winter tyres is also se-
verely impaired by ageing, even if the tread is
still much deeper than 4 mm.
Winter tyres are subject to the following max-
imum speed limits according to speed rating
code letter: ›››
Speed rating
code letter
››› page 309Maximum speed limit
Q160 km/h (100 mph)
S180 km/h (112 mph)
T190 km/h (118 mph)
H210 km/h (130 mph)
V240 km/h (149 mph) (please note
relevant restrictions)
W270 km/h (168 mph)
Y300 km/h (186 mph) Vehicles capable of exceeding these speeds
mu
s
t

have an appropriate sticker attached so
that it is visible to the driver. Suitable stickers
are available from the SEAT Official Service »1)
COC = certificate of conformity.
