Rear Assist* (Rear View Camera) - Seat Alhambra Owner's Manual

Rear Assist* (Rear View
Camera)
Introduction
The camera fitted to the rear lid helps drivers
during parking or reversing manoeuvres. The
camera image and certain orientation points
generated by the system are indicated on the
factory-fitted infotainment system screen.
Two types of location point (modes) can be
selected:
Mode 1: reverse parking perpendicular to
●
the road (e.g. in a car park).
Mode 2: reverse parking parallel to the
●
curb.
The mode can be changed by pressing the
button on the infotainment system screen.
Only the mode to which the points can be
changed will be displayed.
WARNING
Use of the camera to calculate the dis-
tance from obstacles (people, vehicles,
etc.) is inaccurate and may cause acci-
dents and severe injuries.
The camera lens expands and distorts
●
the field of vision and displays the objects
on the screen in a different, vague manner.

Driving
Some objects may not be displayed or
●
may not be very clear (e.g. very thin posts
or fences), due to the resolution of the
monitor or if the light is dim.
The camera has blind spots in which ob-
●
stacles and people are not detected.
Keep the camera lens clean and clear of
●
snow and ice. Do not cover it.
WARNING
The intelligent technology in the rear assist
system cannot change the limits imposed
by the laws of physics and by the system it-
self. Careless or uncontrolled use of the
rear assist system may result in severe inju-
ries and accidents. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness.
Adjust your speed and driving style to vis-
●
ibility, road, traffic and weather conditions.
Always keep a close eye on the area
●
around the vehicle and always look to-
wards where you are parking. The display
shows the path of the rear end of the vehi-
cle using the current steering angle. The
front of the vehicle turns more in compari-
son with the rear.
Do not be distracted from the traffic
●
when looking at the screen.
Always observe the area around the vehi-
●
cle, as the cameras do not always detect
children, animals or objects.
The system might not show all areas
●
clearly.
Only use the rear assist system when the
●
boot hatch is completely closed.
CAUTION
The camera only displays 2D images on
●
the screen. Due to the lack of depth, it
might be difficult or impossible to recog-
nise protruding objects or cracks in the
road.
The cameras may not always be able to
●
detect objects such as thin rails, fences,
posts and trees, etc. This could result in
damage to your car.
