Area View - Seat Ateca 2016 Owner's Manual

Rear sound settings/sharpness*
Frequency (tone) of the sound in the rear
area.
Adjust volume
With the parking aid switched on, the active
audio/video source volume will be reduced
to the intensity of the selected setting.
Error messages
When the Parking Aid is activated or when it
is switched on, if a message reporting a Park-
ing aid error is displayed on the instrument
panel, there is a fault in the system.
If the fault disappears before disconnecting
the ignition, next time that parking aid is en-
gaged in reverse it will not be indicated.
If there is a fault in a sensor, the  symbol is
displayed on the Easy Connect display.
Have the fault corrected by a specialised
workshop without delay.
Towing bracket
In vehicles equipped with a towing bracket
device from the factory, when the trailer is
connected electrically, the Parking Aid rear
sensors will not be activated when reverse
gear is engaged (manual gears) nor when the
Driver assistance systems
selector lever is turned to position R (auto-
matic gears).

Area View*

Introduction
›››
 table on page 2
Using 4 cameras, the system generates a rep-
resentation that is shown on the infotain-
ment system display. The cameras are loca-
ted on the radiator grille, the exterior mirrors
and the rear lid.
The functions and representations of the
Area View system may vary depending on
whether or not the vehicle has ParkPilot.
WARNING
The image from the cameras does not make it
possible to calculate the distance to the ob-
stacles (people, vehicles, etc.) precisely, so
using them could cause serious accidents
and injury.
● The camera lenses augment and distort the
visual field and the objects on the screen are
seen differently and imprecisely.
● Certain objects may not be shown or may
not be shown very clearly, for example, posts
or thin rails, due to the screen resolution or if
light conditions are insufficient.
The cameras have blind spots in which ob-
●
stacles and people are not registered.
● The camera lens must be kept free, without
snow or ice, and should not be covered.
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
Area View system cannot overcome the limits
imposed by the laws of physics and it only
works within the limits of the system. The
greater convenience provided by the Area
View system should never tempt you to take
any risk that may compromise safety. If used
negligently or involuntarily, it may cause se-
rious accidents and injuries. The system is
not a replacement for driver awareness.
● Adapt your speed and driving style to suit
visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
● Do not be distracted from the traffic by
looking at the screen.
Monitor the area around the vehicle at all
●
times, since the cameras do not capture small
children, animals and certain objects in all
situations.
● The use of a number plate may interfere in
the views shown on the screen, since the
cameras' field of vision may be reduced.
● The system will probably be unable to rep-
resent all areas clearly.
