Operation
WARNING
●
Alwa
ys pay attention, also when looking
straight ahead, to traffic and the vehicle
surroundings. The assistance systems are not
a replacement for driver awareness. When in-
serting or removing the vehicle from a park-
ing space, or when performing similar ma-
noeuvres the driver always assumes the re-
sponsibility.
●
Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times to suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions.
●
The ultrasound sensors have blind spots in
which obstacles and people are not regis-
tered. Pay special attention to children and
animals.
●
Always keep visual control of the vehicle
surroundings: use the rear vision mirrors for
additional help.
CAUTION
Parking Aid functions may be negatively af-
fected b
y different factors that may lead to
damage to the vehicle or its immediate sur-
rounds:
●
Under certain circumstances, the system
does not detect or display certain objects:
–
Objects such as chains, trailer draw bars,
fences, posts and thin trees.
–
Objects that are located above the sen-
sors, such as protrusions in a wall.
–
Obj
ects with certain surfaces or struc-
tures, such as wire mesh fences or pow-
der snow.
●
Certain surfaces of objects and garments
do not reflect the ultrasound sensors' sig-
nals. The system cannot detect, at least cor-
rectly, these objects or people wearing such
clothes.
●
Ultrasound sensor signals may be affected
by external sound sources. In certain circum-
stances this may prevent them from detect-
ing people or objects.
●
Please note that low obstacles detected by
the system may no longer be registered by
the sensors as the car moves closer, so the
system will not give any further warning. In
certain circumstances, objects such as high
kerbs that could damage the bottom of the
vehicle are not detected either.
●
If the first warning from the Park Pilot is ig-
nored, the vehicle could suffer considerable
damage.
●
The knocks or damage on the radiator
grille, bumper, wheel arch and vehicle under-
body can adjust the orientation of the sen-
sors. This can affect the parking aid function.
Have the function checked by a specialised
workshop.
Note
●
In cert
ain situations, the system can give a
warning even though there is no obstacle in
the detected area, e.g:
–
with rough or c
obbled floors or ground
with long grass;
–
with external ultrasound sources, such as
cleaning vehicles or other vehicles;
–
In downpours, intense snow or dense ex-
haust gases;
–
if the registration plate (front or rear) is
not properly affixed to the bumper sur-
face;
–
or in locations such as the brow of a hill.
●
In order to guarantee good system opera-
tion, keep the ultrasound sensors clean, free
of snow or ice, and do not cover them with
adhesives or other objects.
●
If you use high-pressure or vapour equip-
ment to clean the ultrasound sensors, apply
it directly only very briefly and always from a
distance of more than 10 cm.
●
Retrofitting of accessories to the vehicle,
such as a bicycle carrier, may interfere with
the operation of the Parking Aid.
●
In order to familiarise yourself with the sys-
tem, it is advised that you practice parking in
an area or car park that is free from traffic.
There must be good weather and light condi-
tions.
●
The volume and tone of the warnings can
be modified, in addition to the indications
››› page 216.
●
In vehicles without a driver information
system, these parameters can be modified in
a SEAT Official Service or in a specialised
workshop.
