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
curved or warped can cause:
false detections,
–
loss of sensor 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 order 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.

Driving
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.

Special characteristics
The Park Assist system is subject to certain
limitations inherent to the system. For exam-
ple, it is therefore not possible to enter or exit
a parking space on sharp bends.
While entering or exiting a parking space, a
brief signal sounds to prompt the driver to
button.
