Seat Alhambra 2015 Owner's Manual page 165

Although the parking sensor system de-
●
tects and warns of the presence of an obsta-
cle, the obstacle could disappear from the an-
gle of measurement of the sensors if it is too
high or low and the system would no longer
show it. Therefore, it will not warn you of
these objects. Ignoring the warnings of the
parking sensor system could cause consider-
able damage to the vehicle. This is also valid
when using the park assist (e.g. to park be-
hind a truck or motorcycle). Therefore, always
keep a close watch on the area in front of and
behind the vehicle while parking, and inter-
vene promptly if necessary.
To ensure that the system works properly,
●
the bumper sensors must be kept clean, free
of ice and snow and uncovered.
The bumper sensors may become damaged
●
or misaligned, for example, when parking.
● When cleaning the sensors with high-pres-
sure or steam cleaning equipment, spray the
sensors briefly at a distance of no less than
10 cm.
Note
Contact a specialised workshop with any sys-
tem faults. SEAT recommends taking your car
in for technical service.
