Driver assistance systems
Blind spot detector (BSD)
with r
ear cr
oss tr
affic alert
(RCTA)
Introduction
Fig. 270 Related video
The blind spot detector (BSD) helps detect
the tr
affic sit
uation t
o the sides and behind
the vehicle.
The integrated parking assistant (RCTA) helps
the driver when backing out of a parallel
parking spot and in manoeuvring.
The blind spot detector has been developed
for driving on paved roads.
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into
the blind spot detector (BSD) with parking
assist
ance (RCTA) included cannot over-
come the limits imposed by the laws of
physics; it only works within the limits of the
system. Accidents and severe injury may
occur if the blind spot detection system or
the rear cross traffic alert are used negli-
gently or involuntarily. The system is not a
replacement f
or driver awareness.
●
Adapt your speed and safe distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
●
Keep your hands on the wheel at all
times, and be ready to intervene in the
steering at any time.
●
Pay attention to the control lamps that
may come on in the external rear view mir-
rors and on the instrument panel, and fol-
low any instructions they may give.
●
The blind spot assistant may react in the
face of any special constructions that may
be present on the sides of the vehicle: e.g.,
high or irregular protective fences. This
may cause erroneous warnings.
●
Never use the blind spot detector with
rear cross traffic alert on unpaved roads.
The blind spot detector with rear cross traf-
fic alert has been designed for use on
paved roads.
●
Always pay attention to the vehicle's sur-
roundings.
●
Never use the blind spot detector with
rear cross traffic alert if the radar sensors
are dirty, covered or damaged. The system
may work incorrectly in these cases.
CAUTION
●
The radar sensors on the rear bumper
may be damaged or shift
ed in the event of
a collision, for example, when entering or
exiting a parking space. This may result in
the system disconnecting itself, or at least
having its functionality diminished.
●
In order to ensure that the radar sensors
work properly, keep the rear bumper free of
snow and ice and do not cover it.
●
The rear bumper should only be painted
with paint authorised by SEAT. The blind
spot detector's functions may be limited or
work incorrectly if other paints are used.
●
The external rear view mirror control
lamps may have their functionality limited
in the event of solar radiation.
Note
If the blind spot detector with rear cross
traffic aler
t does not work as described in
this chapter, do not use it and have it
checked by a specialised workshop.
