Special characteristics
Examples of optical illusions caused by the
cameras:
The images on the area view system cameras are only
two-dimensional. Due to a lack of spatial depth, it is dif-
ficult 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 vehicles.
Situations in which the objects or other vehicles 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.
Examples of optical illusions caused by the
cameras:
– If the vehicle approaches protruding objects. 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 con-
nected electrically to a trailer ››› page 273.
Note
In order to become familiar with the system
and its f
unctions, SEAT recommends that you
practice handling the Area View system in an
area where there is not too much traffic or in
a car park.
