Help with parking and manoeuvring
●
The area for parking or manoeuvring
should be a flat surface.
●
The vehicle should not be loaded very
heavily at the rear.
●
The driver must be used to the system.
●
There should be no damage to the vehicle
in the camera area. If the position or installa-
tion angle of the cameras have been
changed, e.g. after a rear-end collision, the
system should be checked by a specialised
workshop.
Special characteristics
The images on the area view system cameras
are only two-dimensional. Due to a lack of
spatial depth, it is difficult or impossible to
make out on-screen any holes there may be
on the ground, objects jutting out from the
ground or parts protruding from other vehi-
cles.
Situations in which the objects or other vehi-
cles appear to be further away or closer than
they really are:
●
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.
●
If the vehicle approaches protruding ob-
jects. These objects may be outside the
cameras' angle of visibility.
Trailer mode
The Area View system conceals, in the rear
camera area, all the auxiliary guiding lines
when the factory-fitted towing bracket is
connected electrically to a trailer

Note
To become familiar with the system and its
functions, CUPRA recommends that you
practice handling the Area View system in
an area where there is not too much traffic
or in a car park.
