Help With Parking And Manoeuvring; Assisted Parking System (Park Assist) - Seat Leon 5D Owner's Manual

When leaving the vehicle, take all keys with
●
you.
Additionally, on steep slopes and inclines
Before switching off the engine, rotate the
steering wheel so that if the vehicle should
move, it will be held by the kerb.
On slopes, turn the front wheels so that
●
they are against the edge of the kerb.
Uphill, turn the wheels towards the centre of
●
the road.
WARNING
Avoid parking the vehicle where the hot
●
exhaust system could ignite inflammable
materials, such as dry grass, low bushes,
spilt fuel or flammable materials.
Do not leave passengers inside a closed
●
vehicle, they may not be able to open
doors or windows. Locked doors hinder the
possibility of a rescue.
Children should not be left alone in the
●
vehicle. They could tamper with the hand-
brake or the gears, which could cause the
vehicle to move without control.
Depending on weather conditions, it may
●
become extremely hot or cold inside the
vehicle. This can be fatal.

Assisted parking system
(Park Assist)*
Introduction
The parking assist system is an additional
›››
function of the ParkPilot page 284
helps the driver find a suitable parking space
from among the following types:
park driving in reverse in suitable perpen-
●
dicular and parallel spaces,
park driving forwards in suitable perpendic-
●
ular spaces,
exit a parking space driving forwards from a
●
parallel space,
park in a suitable space driving forward on
●
angle partially entering into the selected
parking space. The system will centre the ve-
hicle in said parking space.
In vehicles with a Park Assist system and fac-
tory infotainment system, the front, rear and
side areas are represented, and the position
of obstacles is shown relative to the vehicle.
The Park Assist system is subject to certain
limitations inherent to the system and its use
requires special attention by the driver
WARNING
The technology used in the park assist sys-
tem involves a series of limitations inherent
in the actual system and in the use of ultra-
sonic sensors. The use of Park Assist should
never tempt you to take any risk that may
compromise safety. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness.
Any accidental movement of the vehicle
●
could result in serious injury.
Adapt your speed and driving style at all
●
and
times to suit visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions.
Certain surfaces of objects and gar-
●
ments do not reflect the ultrasound sen-
sors' signals. The system cannot detect, at
least correctly, these objects or people
wearing such clothes.
Ultrasound sensor signals may be affec-
●
ted by external sound sources. In certain
circumstances this may prevent them from
detecting people or objects.
The ultrasound sensors may have blind
●
spots in which obstacles and people are
not detected.
Monitor the area around the vehicle at all
●
times, since the ultrasound sensors do not
detect small children, animals or certain
objects in all situations.
