Things to note
Cleaning the camera lens
Keep the camera lens clean and clear of snow and ice:
x Moisten the lens using a commercially available, alcohol-based glass
cleaning agent and clean the lens with a dry cloth .
x Remove snow using a small brush.
x Use de-icing spray to remove any ice .
Caution
x Never use abrasive cleaners to clean the camera lens.
x Never remove snow or ice from the camera lens using warm or hot water.
This could damage the lens.
Note
SEAT recommends that you practise parking with the rear assist system in a
quiet location or in a car park to become familiar with the system, including
the orientation lines and their function.
Note
The orientation lines will not be displayed on the screen if the tailgate is open
or the factory-fitted towing bracket is electrically connected to a trailer.
1) Do not use the rear assist system in the following cases:
– If there is a fault in the dynamic chassis control (DCC).
– If the image displayed is not very clear or reliable (low visibility or dirty
lens).
– If the space behind the vehicle cannot be clearly or completely recog-
nised.
- If the vehicle has been overloaded at the rear.
– If the driver is not familiar with the system.
– If the tailgate is open.
- If the position and installation angle of the camera have been changed,
e.g. in a rear-end collision. Have a specialist workshop check the system.
2) Optical illusions of the camera (examples)
The rear assist camera produces two-dimensional images. Any cracks in or
objects protruding from the ground or from other vehicles are more difficult
to spot or cannot be seen due to a lack of depth in the image displayed.
Objects or other vehicles may seem to be closer or further away than what
they really are:
– On changing from a flat surface to a slope or gradient.
– On changing from a slope or gradient to a flat surface.
- If the vehicle has been overloaded at the rear.
– On approaching protruding objects. These objects may be outside the
angle of vision of the camera when reversing.
