●
The Park Assist system uses as a reference
parked vehicles, curbs and other objects.
Make sure that the tyres and wheels are not
damaged while parking. If necessary, oppor-
tunely interrupt the parking manoeuvre to
avoid damaging the vehicle.
●
The ultrasound sensors on the bumper may
be damaged or shifted in the event of a colli-
sion, for example, when entering or exiting a
parking space.
●
If you use high-pressure or vapour equip-
ment to clean the ultrasound sensors, do not
apply it directly unless very briefly and always
from a distance of more than 10 cm.
●
A registration plate or plate holder on the
front with larger than the space for the reg-
istration plate, or a registration plate that is
curved or warped can cause:
–
False detections.
–
The sensors to lose visibility.
–
Cancellation of the parking manoeuvre
or defective parking.
●
If one of the ultrasonic sensors is damaged,
the area corresponding to that group of sen-
sors (front or rear) is deactivated and can-
not be activated until the fault is corrected.
However, you can still use the sensors of the
other bumper as per usual. If there is a fault
in the system, consult a specialist workshop.
To do so, CUPRA recommends going to a
specialised CUPRA dealer or any SEAT deal-
ership.
Parking aid system (Park Assist)
Parking and manoeuvring
Note
● In order to guarantee good system oper-
ation, keep the ultrasound sensors of the
bumper clean, free of snow or ice, and do not
cover them with adhesives or other objects.
● Certain sources of noise, such as rough as-
phalt or paving stones and the noise of other
vehicles can induce the Park Assist system
or ParkPilot to give erroneous warnings. The
presence of metal objects can also affect the
manoeuvre.
● To become familiar with the system and
its functions, CUPRA 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
button to switch the sys-
tem on and off and the messages on the in-
strument panel display.
Prerequisites for parking
●
The traction control (TCS) must be switched
›››
on
page 171.
●
Speed when passing next to the parking
space: do not exceed approx. 50 km/h
(31 mph).
●
Keep a distance between 0.5 and 2.0 metres
when driving past the parking space.
●
Space length (parallel parking): vehicle
length + 0.8 metres.
●
Space width (parking bay): 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.
Requirements for leaving the parking space
(only for parallel parking)
●
The traction control (TCS) must be switched
›››
on
page 171.
●
Space length: length of the vehicle
+ 0.5 metres.
●
Do not exceed approximately 7 km/h
(4 mph) when exiting the parking space.
Prematurely stopping or automatically inter-
rupting the manoeuvres for parking or exit-
ing a parking space
Park Assist interrupts the manoeuvres for park-
ing or exiting a parking space in any of the
following cases:
