2020 Seat Tarraco warning

Driving
If the engine is running irregularly or an
anomaly is det ect
ed.
If the engine is turned off or stalls.
Manual gearbox: The clutch and the ac-
celerator are pressed at the same time.
Automatic gearbox: If the accelerator is
pressed
Automatic gearbox: If any of the tyres
has only minimal contact with the
ground, e.g. in the case of axle articula-
tion. WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into
the Aut o Hol

d function cannot defy the
laws of physics; it only works within the lim-
its of the system. The greater convenience
provided by the Auto Hold function should
never tempt you to take any risk that may
compromise safety.

Driving
Brake blending 1)
The br ak
e energy recuperation can generate
a braking effect. This braking effect depends
on the selected driving programme and the
level of charge of the high-voltage battery.
If the braking effect caused by the recupera-
tion is very intense, the vehicle’s brake lights
with turn on. The electric engine, when oper-
ating as an alternator, can generate braking
torque on the front wheels based on the RPM
and the temperature and charge level of the
high-voltage battery.
These variable parameters cause fluctuating
electric decelerations which are hydraulical-
ly compensated according to the driver’s de-
sires. This function is called “brake blending”
and it combines mechanical braking with the
engine brake effect. WARNING
Driving at high speed on icy, slippery wet
gr ound can r

esult in loss of vehicle control
and serious injury to the driver and passen-
gers.

Help with parking and manoeuvring
Parking System Plus* Description Fig. 207
Parking aid view on the Infotainment
syst em displ
ay. Parking aid plus assists the driv
er by giving
visual and audio w
arnings about obstacles
detected in front of and behind the vehicle.
The bumpers are fitted with sensors. When an
obstacle is detected, it is indicated by audible
signals and in the Infotainment system
››› Fig. 207.
When moving close to an obstacle, it is possi-
ble to know if the obstacle is in front of the ve-
hicle or behind it by choosing different
sounds.
The approximate measurement range of the
sensors is:
1.20 m
A 1.60 m
0.90 m
As you appr oach the obst

acle, the frequency
of the audible signals will increase. The signal
will sound continuously at around 0.30 m:
Stop!
If the separation is maintained, the warning
volume is reduced after about 4 seconds.
In order to view the entire periphery of the ve-
hicle, the vehicle must be moved a few me-
tres forwards or backwards. Thus, the missing
areas are screened and obstacles at the
sides of the vehicle are displayed C .
Special f eat

ures of ParkPilot with Area

In the following situations the screened area
on the side of the vehicle is automatically hid-
den:

Help with parking and manoeuvring
A wake will indicate the anticipated forward
or backw ar
d trajectory, depending on the en-
gaged gear.
If an obstacle is located in the vehicle’s way,
the corresponding audible warning will
sound.
When the penultimate segment is displayed,
the vehicle has reached the collision zone. In
the collision zone, the obstacles are repre-
sented in red (including those out of the
path). Stop the vehicle! ››› in Introduction

If a an error or fault message appears on the
instrument clust
er in P

ark Assist, there is a
fault.
If the fault doesn't disappear before discon-
necting the ignition, it will not be indicated
next time the parking aid is connected.
If a rear sensor is faulty, only the obstacles in
area A are displayed

. If a front
sensor is faulty, only the obstacles in area B are displayed. Symbol

Driving
Whenever the obstacle is located in the vehi-
cl e
’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 obsta-
cles are represented in red (including those
out of the path). Do not continue to reverse

If you are equipped with the Top View
Camera*
Segments are not displayed when the vehicle
is equipped with Top View Camera*.
The Parking Aid system will issue an audible
warning for objects that are near the rear of
the vehicle, and the Top View Camera* im-
age will be available on the screen, giving a
real image of the objects around the car.
Trailer Assist
Introduction Trailer assist helps the driver to reverse and
manoeuvr
e with a tr

ailer. By moving the rotary knob of the exterior mir-
rors, the tr

ailer assist directs the trailer that is
hitched. The driver has to accelerate, change
gears and brake!
System limitations
Under certain circumstances, the camera
does not detect objects such as trailer draw
bars, bars, fences, posts or thin trees, or an
open (or opening) rear lid, which could dam-
age the vehicle.
In order to guarantee good system operation,
keep the camera clean, free of snow or ice,
and do not cover it with adhesives or other
objects. Do not allow the draw bar to be cov-
ered by external influences.
Use the trailer manoeuvre assistant only
when the rear lid is closed correctly. CAUTION
The trailer maneuver assistant does not
t ak

e the vehicle’s surrounding as a refer-
ence. No obstacle detection takes place.
The driver alone has to assess whether it is
possible to manoeuvre safely with the tow
vehicle and trailer set.

Driving
Green and red semicircular auxiliary
lines ar e displ
ayed in vehicles with a fac-
tory-fitted towing bracket. The auxiliary
lines indicate the distance from the tow-
ing bracket. The distance between the
auxiliary lines (green and red) is approx.
30 cm The orange auxiliary line indi-
cates, according to how the steering
wheel is turned, the precalculated direc-
tion of the towed device.
Cross traffic. This visualization helps to
monitor traffic to the left, front and right
of the vehicle and can be used, for ex-
ample, when exiting garages or narrow
exits.

drawbar load on the ball joint of the t o
wing
bracket, but do not exceed the specified lim-
it. WARNING
Never use the trailer to transport people,
since it w oul

d put their life in danger and is
also prohibited. WARNING
Undue use of the towing bracket may
cause injury and accidents.

Driving
Technical requirements Vehicles that are f
act ory-mounted with a
towing device meet all the technical and le-
gal requirements for driving with a trailer
››› page 313.
If the vehicle is retrofitted with a towing
bracket, only a bracket that is authorised for
the maximum authorised load of the trailer
that is to be towed may be fitted. The towing
bracket must be suitable for the vehicle and
the trailer and must be properly secured to
the vehicle's chassis. Only use a towing
bracket that has been authorised by SEAT for
this vehicle. Always check and take into ac-
count the towing bracket manufacturer's in-
structions.
Towing bracket fitted on the bumper
Never fit a towing bracket to the bumper or to
the area where the bumper is mounted. The
towing bracket should not impair the bum-
per's function. Do not make modifications or
repairs to the exhaust system or the brake
system. Make regular checks to ensure that
the towing bracket is secure.
Engine cooling system
Driving with a trailer increases the load on the
engine and cooling system. The cooling sys-
tem should have sufficient coolant and be
prepared for the additional effort involved in
driving with a trailer. Trailer brakes
If the tr
ail

er has its own brake system, please
take the relevant legal requirements into ac-
count. Never connect the trailer's brake sys-
tem to the vehicle's brake system.
Tow cable
Always use a cable between the vehicle and
the trailer ››› page 309
.
Trailer tail lights
The trailer's rear lights should comply with
the statutory safety regulations ››› page 309
.
Never connect the trailer's rear lights directly
to the vehicle's electric system. If you are not
sure that the trailer's electrical connection is
correct, have it checked by a specialised
workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT
dealership for this.
Exterior mirrors
If you cannot see the area behind the trailer
with the exterior mirrors of the towing vehicle,
additional mirrors will have to be installed in
accordance with the regulations of the coun-
try in question. The exterior mirrors should be
adjusted before you start driving and must
provide a sufficient field of vision at the rear.
Trailer maximum electricity consumption
Never exceed the values indicated! Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and Central
America Brake lights (total)
84 Watts
Turn signal (on each side) 42 Watts
Side lights (on each side) 50 Watts

If the towing bracket is wrongly fitted or is
not the right one , the tr

ailer could become
detached from the vehicle and cause seri-
ous injury. CAUTION
