2020 Seat Tarraco tow bar

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.

Help with parking and manoeuvring
Determine the length of the trailer's draw-
bar
In or der f
or the trailer manoeuvre assistant to
determine the length of the trailer’s drawbar,
drive the vehicle-trailer set through some
turning manoeuvres or curves. The more pre-
cisely the length of the drawbar is deter-
mined, the wider the angles that will be avail-
able when manoeuvring. The assistant subdi-
vides the maximum available end stops of the
angle indicator into four levels: approx. 30°,
45°, 60° and 75°. Note
For technical reasons, the trailer manoeu-
vr e assist

ant cannot always correctly de-
tect trailers with LED technology taillights. Operating

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.

Indications about the technical data
Empty weight, total weight, axle loads
The empt y w
eight of the vehicle with driver
(75 kg) was calculated according to the (EU)
1230/2012 standard. Optional equipment can
increase the empty weight, which means that
the possible useful load decreases propor-
tionally.
Trailer weight
The maximum permitted drawbar load on the
ball head of the towing bracket is 80 kg. WARNING
The values indicated for the maximum per-
mitt ed w

eights must not be exceeded.
There is a risk of accident and damage! 381
