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.
Description of the parking assist
system
The components of the Park Assist system
are the ultrasonic sensors located in the front
and rear bumpers, the

system on and off and the messages on the
instrument panel display.

length + 0.8 meters.
Space width (angle parking): vehicle width

+ 0.8 meters.
Do not exceed approximately 7 km/h

(4 mph) when parking. The vehicle will per-
form an automatic braking only once if this
speed is exceeded. If you exceed the speed

more than once, the Park Assist system
switches off.

To restart the manoeuvre it is necessary that
none of these things occur and that the

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
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 contin-
uous audible signal is given (object present at
a distance of ≤30 cm) by Park Pilot.
When the Park Assist system turns the steer-
ing wheel with the vehicle stationary, the in-
strument panel also displays the symbol
Keep the brake pedal depressed while the
symbol remains on the dash panel display to
turn the wheels with the vehicle stopped. This
way, the system will require fewer manoeu-
vres to complete the parking action.
