WARNING

The technology used in the park assist sys-

tem involves a series of limitations inherent in

the actual system and in the use of ultrasonic

sensors. The use of Park Assist should never

tempt you to take any risk that may compro-

mise safety. The system is not a replacement

for driver awareness.

Certain surfaces of objects and garments

Quick turns of the steering wheel when park-

In order to become familiar with the system

and its functions, SEAT recommends that you

practice operating the Park Assist system in

an area where there is not too much trac or

in a car park.

aged, the area corresponding to that group

of sensors (front or rear) is deactivated and

cannot be activated until the fault is correc-

ted. However, you can still use the sensors

of the other bumper as per usual. If there

is a fault in the system, consult a specialist

workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT

dealership for this.

●

Retroﬁtting of certain accessories to the

vehicle, such as a bicycle rack, may interfere

with the operation of the Park Assist system

and cause damage.

●

The Park Assist system uses as a reference

parked vehicles, curbs and other objects.

Make sure that the tyres and wheels are not

damaged while parking. If necessary, oppor-

tunely interrupt the parking manoeuvre to

avoid damaging the vehicle.

In order to guarantee good system oper-

bumper clean, free of snow or ice, and do not

cover them with adhesives or other objects.

Park Assist interrupts the manoeuvres for park-

ing or exiting a parking space in any of the fol-

lowing cases:

Speed when passing next to the parking

space (parallel parking): do not exceed approx.

40 km/h (25 mph).

While entering or exiting a parking space, a

brief signal sounds to prompt the driver to

change between forward and reverse gears

(depending on the case). In successive ma-

noeuvres, the assistant tells the driver to

change gears, at the latest, when the continu-

ous audible signal is given (object present at a

distance of ≤30 cm) by Park Pilot.
