Optical Parking System* (Ops); Switching The Parking Distance Warning System On And Off; Special Features Of The Parking Distance Warning System - Seat Mii Electric Owner's Manual

The bumper sensors may become dam-
●
aged or misaligned, for example, when
parking.
To ensure that the system works properly,
●
the bumper sensors must be kept clean,
free of ice and snow and uncovered.
When cleaning the sensors with high-
●
pressure or steam cleaning equipment,
spray the sensors briefly at a distance of
no less than 10 cm.
Different sources of noise can produce
●
errors in the parking distance warning sys-
tem, e.g. parking distance warning systems
from other vehicles, inductive loops or con-
struction works machines.
Retrofitting of components to the vehicle,
●
such as a bicycle carrier, may interfere with
the function of the parking distance warn-
ing system.

Switching the parking distance warning
system on and off

system is switched on and functioning.
Switch off: Release reverse gear.

Special features of the parking distance
warning system
The parking distance warning system
●
sometimes registers water on the sensors as
an obstacle.
If the distance does not change, the warn-
●
ing signal will sound less loudly after a few
seconds. If the continuous signal sounds, the
volume will remain constant.
When the vehicle moves away from the ob-
●
stacle, the beeping sound automatically
switches off. When getting close again, it re-
connects.
Your SEAT dealership can adjust the volume
●
of the warning signals.
Note
A fault in the parking distance warning sys-
tem is indicated through a brief audible
warning that is constant for about 3 sec-
onds when switching it on the first time.
Have the parking distance warning system
checked as soon as possible at a special-
ised workshop.
