Help with parking and manoeuvring
in the actual system and in the use of ultra-
sonic sensors. The use of P
ark Assist should
never tempt you to take any risk that may
compromise safety. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness.
Any accidental movement of the vehicle
could result in serious injury.
Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times to suit visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions.
Certain surfaces of objects and gar-
ments do not reflect the ultrasound sen-
sors' signals. The system cannot detect, at
least correctly, these objects or people
wearing such clothes.
Ultrasound sensor signals may be affec-
ted by external sound sources. In certain
circumstances this may prevent them from
detecting people or objects.
The ultrasound sensors may have blind
spots in which obstacles and people are
not detected.
Monitor the area around the vehicle at all
times, since the ultrasound sensors do not
detect small children, animals or certain
objects in all situations.
WARNING
Quick turns of the steering wheel when
parking or e
xiting a parking space with
Park Assist can cause serious injury.
Do not hol
d the steering wheel during
manoeuvres to park or exit a parking space
until the system requests it. Doing so disa-
bles the system during the manoeuvre, re-
sulting in the parking being cancelled.
CAUTION
In cer
tain circumstances, the ultrasonic
sensors do not detect objects such as trail-
er tongues, bars, fences, posts or thin trees,
or an open (or opening) rear lid, which
could damage the vehicle.
Retrofitting of certain accessories to the
vehicle, such as a bicycle rack, may inter-
fere with the operation of the Park Assist
system and cause damage.
The Park Assist system uses as a refer-
ence parked vehicles, curbs and other ob-
jects. Make sure that the tyres and wheels
are not damaged while parking. If necessa-
ry, opportunely interrupt the parking ma-
noeuvre to avoid damaging the vehicle.
The ultrasound sensors on the bumper
may be damaged or shifted in the event of
a collision, for example, when entering or
exiting a parking space.
If you use high-pressure or vapour equip-
ment to clean the ultrasound sensors, do
not apply it directly unless very briefly and
always from a distance of more than 10 cm.
A registration plate or plate holder on the
front with larger than the space for the reg-
istration plate, or a registration plate that is
curv
ed or warped can cause:
False detections.
The sensors to lose visibility.
Cancellation of the parking manoeuvre
or defective parking.
If one of the ultrasonic sensors is dam-
aged, the area corresponding to that group
of sensors (front or rear) is deactivated and
cannot be activated until the fault is cor-
rected. However, you can still use the sen-
sors of the other bumper as per usual. If
there is a fault in the system, consult a spe-
cialist workshop. SEAT recommends visiting
a SEAT dealership for this.
Note
In or
der to guarantee good system oper-
ation, keep the ultrasound sensors of the
bumper clean, free of snow or ice, and do
not cover them with adhesives or other ob-
jects.
Certain sources of noise, such as rough
asphalt or paving stones and the noise of
other vehicles can induce the Park Assist
system or ParkPilot to give erroneous warn-
ings. The presence of metal objects can al-
so affect the manoeuvre.
In order to become familiar with the sys-
tem and its functions, SEAT recommends
that you practice operating the Park Assist
system in an area where there is not too
much traffic or in a car park.
