Description Of The Parking Assist System; Prerequisites For Parking - Seat Ateca 2020 Owner's Manual

Do not hold 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 certain 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-
Help with parking and manoeuvring
istration plate, or a registration plate that is
curved 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 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. 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.
