Operation
after four seconds (does not affect the tone
of the c
onstant warning).
In order to view the entire periphery of the ve-
hicle, the vehicle must be moved a few me-
tres forwards and backwards. Thus the miss-
ing areas are screened and the periphery of
the vehicle is calculated.
Special features of ParkPilot with Area View
In the following situations the screened area
on the side of the vehicle is automatically
hidden:
● When a vehicle door is opened.
● When the ASR is switched off.
● When there is ASR or ESC regulation.
● If the vehicle remains stationary for more
than ap
proximately 3 minutes. WARNING
● Alw

ays pay attention, also when looking
straight ahead, to traffic and the vehicle sur-
roundings. The assistance systems are not a
replacement for driver awareness. When in-
serting or removing the vehicle from a park-
ing space, or when performing similar ma-
noeuvres the driver always assumes the re-
sponsibility.
● Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times
to suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions. ●
The u ltr

asound sensors have blind spots in
which obstacles and people are not regis-
tered. Pay special attention to children and
animals.
● Always keep visual control of the vehicle
surr
oundings: use the mirrors for additional
help. CAUTION
Parking Aid functions may be negatively af-
f ect

ed by different factors that may lead to
damage to the vehicle or its immediate sur-
rounds:
● Under certain circumstances, the system
does
not detect or display certain objects:
– Objects such as chains, trailer draw bars,
fences, posts and thin trees.
– Objects that are located above the sen-
sors, such as protrusions in a wall.
– Objects with certain surfaces or struc-
tures, such as wire mesh fences or pow-
der snow.
● Certain surfaces of objects and garments
do not r
eflect the ultrasound sensors' sig-
nals. The system cannot detect these objects
or people wearing such clothes correctly.
● Ultrasound sensor signals may be affected
by
external sound sources. In certain circum-
stances this may prevent them from detect-
ing people or objects.
● Please note that low obstacles detected by
the sys
tem may no longer be registered by the sensors as the car moves closer, so the
sy
s

tem will not give any further warning. In
certain circumstances, objects such as high
kerbs that could damage the bottom of the
vehicle are not detected either.
● If the first warning from the ParkPilot is ig-
nored, the
vehicle could suffer considerable
damage.
● The knocks or damage on the radiator
gril
le, bumper, wheel arch and vehicle under-
body can adjust the orientation of the sen-
sors. This can affect the parking aid function.
In this case, have the function checked by a
specialised workshop.
● A registration plate or plate holder on the
front
with larger than the space for the regis-
tration plate, or a registration plate that is
curved or warped can cause:
– false detections,
– loss of sensor visibility. Note
● In c er

tain situations, the system can give a
warning even though there is no obstacle in
the detected area, e.g:
–with rough or cobbled floors or ground
with long grass;
– with external ultrasound sources, such as
cleaning vehicles or other vehicles equip-
ped with ultrasound systems;
– in downpours, intense snow, hail or
dense exhaust gases, 240

Driver assistance systems
–
if the number p
late is not perfectly se-
cured to the bumper surface,
– or in locations such as the brow of a hill.
● In order to guarantee good system opera-
tion, keep the u
ltrasound sensors clean, free
of snow or ice, and do not cover them with
adhesives or other objects.
● If you use high-pressure or vapour equip-
ment t
o clean the ultrasound sensors, apply
it directly only very briefly and always from a
distance of more than 10 cm.
● Retrofitting of accessories to the vehicle,
suc
h as a bicycle rack, may interfere with the
operation of the Parking Aid.
● Fitting certain accessories to the front of
the v
ehicle, such as a plate holder with ad-
vertising, may interfere with the operation of
the Park Assist.
● In order to familiarise yourself with the sys-
tem, it
is advised that you practice parking in
an area or car park that is free from traffic.
There must be good weather and light condi-
tions.
● The volume and tone of the warnings can
be modified, in ad
dition to the indications
››› page 246.
● In vehicles without
an infotainment system,
these parameters can be modified in a SEAT
Official Service or in a specialised workshop.

tr ai
ler attached. In vehicles equipped with a towing bracket
dev
ic

e from the factory, when the trailer is
connected electrically, the Parking Aid rear
sensors will not be activated when reverse
gear is engaged, when the selector lever is
turned to position R or when the button  is
pressed.
The distance to possible obstacles at the rear
of the vehicle and at its sides will not be dis-
played on the screen and will not be indica-
ted by means of audible sound signals.
The Easy Connect system screen will only dis-
play objects detected at the front, and the ve-
hicle's trajectory will be hidden. Parking aid (ParkPilot)*
De
scription Various systems are available to help you
when p
ark

ing or manoeuvring in tight
spaces, depending on the equipment fitted
on your vehicle.
The rear parking aid is an audible assistant
that warns of obstacles located behind the
vehicle.
There are sensors integrated in the rear
bumper. When they detect an obstacle, you
are alerted by audible warnings and visually
on the Easy Connect system.
If the Area View system is installed, the rear
parking aid will issue an audible warning
about objects near the rear of the vehicle,
and the Area View image will be available on
the Easy Connect screen, giving a real image
of the objects around the car.
Make particularly sure that the sensors are
not covered by adhesives, residues, dirt and
the like, as this could affect the system's op-
eration. Cleaning instructions ›››
page 268.
The approximate measurement range of the
rear sensors is:
side area0.60 m
central area1.60 m As you approach the obstacle, the time inter-
v
al

between the audible warnings will be re-
duced. When you reach around 0.30 m the
warning will be constant: Do not continue to
move forward (or backward) ››› ,
››› !
If

you maintain separation from the obstacle,
the volume of the warning begins to reduce
after four seconds (does not affect the tone
of the constant warning).
Activating/Deactivating
When engaging reverse gear, the parking aid
is automatically switched on. This is con-
firmed with a short warning.
