Parking Aid - Seat Ibiza Owner's Manual

Fatigue detection will be restored when the
vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes,
when the ignition is switched off or when the
driver has unbuckled their seat belt and
opened the door.
In the event of slow driving during a long pe-
riod of time (below 65 km/h, 40 mph) the
system automatically re-establishes the tired-
ness calculation. When driving at a faster
speed the driving behaviour will be recalcula-
ted.

General information
Assorted assistance systems – which vary
depending on the equipment fitted in the car
– will help you when parking or manoeu-
vring.
The rear parking aid is an audible assistant
that warns about obstacles located behind
›››
the vehicle page 156.
WARNING
Always pay attention, also when looking
●
straight ahead, to traffic and the vehicle sur-
roundings. 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-
Driver assistance systems
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 mirrors for additional
help.
CAUTION
Parking Aid functions may be negatively af-
fected by 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.
Objects 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 ParkPilot 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 certain situations, the system can give a
warning even though there is no obstacle in
the detected area, e.g:
with rough or cobbled 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;
