Rear Assist - Seat Ibiza Owner's Manual

Rear Assist

Operating and safety warnings
WARNING
● The Rear Assist does not make it possible to precisely calculate the
distance from obstacles (people, vehicles, etc.) and nor can it overcome
the system's own limits, hence using it may cause serious accidents and
injuries if used negligently or without due care. The driver should be
aware of his/her surrounds at all times to ensure safe driving.
● The camera lens expands and distorts the field of vision and displays
the objects on the screen in a different, vague manner. The perception of
distances is also distorted by this effect.
● Some objects may, due to the resolution of the display screen, not be
displayed in a satisfactory manner or may not be displayed at all. Take
special care with thin posts, fences, railings or trees that might not be
displayed on screen and could damage the vehicle.
● The rear assist has blind spots where it is not possible to represent
people or objects (small children, animals and certain objects cannot be
detected in its field of vision). Monitor the vehicle's surrounding area at
all times.
● Keep the camera lens clean, free of ice and snow, and do not cover it.
● The system is not a replacement for driver awareness. Supervise the
parking operation at all times, as well as the vehicle's surrounding area.
Adapt your speed and driving style at all times to suit visibility, weather,
road and traffic conditions.
● Do not be distracted from the traffic by looking at the screen.
● The images on the rear assist screen are only two-dimensional. Due
to a lack of spatial depth, protruding parts or holes in the road, for exam-
ple, are more difficult to detect or may not be seen at all.
Safety Operation
WARNING (Continued)
● Vehicle load modifies the representation of the orientation lines dis-
played. The width represented by the lines diminishes with vehicle load.
Pay special attention to the vehicle's surroundings when the inside of
the vehicle of the luggage compartment is carrying a heavy load.
● In the following situations, the objects or other vehicles shown in the
screen appear to be further away or closer than they really are. Pay spe-
cial attention:
– On moving from a horizontal plane to a slope.
– On moving from a slope to a horizontal plane.
– If the vehicle is heavily loaded at the rear.
– When the vehicle approaches objects that are not on the ground
surface or are jutting out from it. These objects may also be outside
the angle of vision of the camera when reversing.
Note
It is important to take great care and pay special attention if you are not yet
familiar with the system.
