Help With Parking And Manoeuvring; Parking Distance Warning System - Seat Mii 2020 Owner's Manual

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.

Parking distance warning
system*
Introduction
The parking distance warning system assists
the driver when parking. If the rear of the ve-
hicle is approaching an obstacle, an intermit-
tent audible warning is emitted. The shorter
the distance, the shorter the intervals be-
tween tones. If the vehicle is too close to the
obstacle, the audible warning becomes con-
stant.
If you continue to approach an obstacle
when the sound is continuous, this means the
system can no longer measure the distance.
Sensors situated on the rear bumper transmit
and receive ultrasound. Using the ultrasound
signal (transmission, reflection from the ob-
stacles and reception), this system continu-
ously calculates the distance between the
bumper and the obstacle.
WARNING
The parking distance warning system can-
not replace the driver's assessment of the
situation.
The sensors have blind spots in which ob-
●
stacles and people are not registered.
Always observe the area around the vehi-
●
cle, as the sensors do not always detect
small children, animals or objects.
The surface of certain objects and some
●
clothing do not reflect the ultrasound sig-
nals from the parking distance system. The
system cannot detect or incorrectly de-
tects these objects and people wearing
these types of clothes.
External sound sources can affect the
●
parking distance aid signals. In this case,
under certain circumstances, people and
objects will not be detected.
CAUTION
The sensors may not always be able to
●
detect objects such as trailer draw bars,
thin rails, fences, posts, trees and open
boots, etc. This could result in damage to
your car.
Although the parking distance warning
●
system detects and warns of the presence
of an obstacle, the obstacle could disap-
pear from the angle of measurement of the
sensors if it is too high or low and the sys-
tem would no longer show it. Therefore, it
will not warn you of these objects. Ignoring
the warnings of the parking sensor system
could cause considerable damage to the
vehicle.
