s ign
s in front of the vehicle. After checking
and evaluating the information from the cam-
era, the navigation system and the current
vehicle data, up to three valid traffic signs
are displayed ››› Fig. 198 B in conjunction
with their corresponding additional signs.
The sign that is currently valid for the
driver is shown in the left side of the
screen For example, a maximum speed
limit of 130 km/h (100 mph)
››› Fig. 198 A.
A sign valid only in certain circum-
stances, e.g. 100 km/h (60 mph) is
shown second, together with the addi-
tional rain sign.
If the windscreen wiper is
working while you are driving, the signal
with the additional rain sign will be
shown first, on the left, as it is the one
that is applicable at the time.
A sign valid only with restrictions, e.g.
No overtaking at certain times, will be
displayed third ››› Fig. 198 C.
Speed warning
If the system detects that the permitted
speed is exceeded, it may warn the driver
with a “gong” and visually with a message
on the dash panel display.
The speed warning can be adjusted or deacti-

steps of 5 km/h (3 mph) within a range of be-
tween 0 km/h (mph) and 20 km (12 mph)
above the maximum speed permitted.
Trailer mode
In vehicles equipped with a towing bracket
device from the factory and a trailer that is
electrically connected to the vehicle, it is pos-
sible to activate or deactivate the display of
specific traffic signs for vehicles with trailer,
such as speed limits or overtaking prohibi-
tions. Activation or deactivation is performed
on the infotainment system by means of the
button  and the function buttons

 page 26.
For trailer mode, the display of speed limits
applicable to the type of trailer or to the legal
provisions can be adjusted. The speed is ad-
justed in steps of 10 km/h (5 mph) within a
range of between 60 km/h (40 mph) and
130 km (80 mph). If it is adjusted to a speed
greater than that which is permitted in the
country in question for driving with a trailer,
the system automatically displays the usual
speed limits, e.g. in Germany 80 km/h
(50 mph).
If the speed warning for the trailer is deacti-
vated, the system displays the speed limits
as if there were no trailer hitched. Limited operation
The traffic

sign detection system has certain
limitations. The following cases may lead the
system to operate with limitations or not at
all:
● In the case of poor visibility, e.g. in snow,
rain, f
og or intense mist.
● In cases of dazzling, e.g. caused by head-
on traffic
or by the sun.
● When driving at high speeds.
● If the camera is covered or dirty.
● If the traffic signs are out of the camera's
field of
vision.
● If the traffic signs are partially or totally
co
vered, e.g. by trees, snow, dirt or other ve-
hicles.
● In the case of traffic signs that do not fulfil
the re
gulations.
● In the case of damaged or bent traffic
sign
s.
● In the case of variable messages on over-
hea
d or gantry signs (LED-based variable traf-
fic signs or other lighting units).
● If the maps on the navigation system are
not up-t
o-date.
● In the case of adhesives affixed to vehicles
that
depict traffic signs, e.g. speed limits on
lorries.

Fatigue detection (break rec-
ommend ation)*
Intr
oduction The Fatigue detection informs the driver
when their driv
in

g behaviour shows signs of
fatigue. WARNING
Do not let the comfort afforded by the Fatigue
det ection sy

stem tempt you into taking any
risks when driving. Take regular breaks, suffi-
cient in length when making long journeys.
● The driver always assumes the responsibil-
ity of
driving to their full capacity.
● Never drive if you are tired.
● The system does not detect the tiredness of
the driver in a
ll circumstances. Consult the in-
formation in the section ››› page 231, System
limitations.
● In some situations, the system may incor-
rectly
interpret an intended driving manoeu-
vre as driver tiredness.
● No warning is given in the event of the ef-
fect
called microsleep!
● Please observe the indications on the in-
strument
panel and act as is necessary. Note
● Fatigue det

ection has been developed for
driving on motorways and well paved roads
only.
● If there is a fault in the system, have it
chec
ked by a specialised workshop. Function and operation
Fig. 199
On the instrument panel display: fa-
tigue det ection symbo

l. Fatigue detection determines the driving be-
h
av

iour of the driver when starting a journey,
making a calculation of tiredness. This is
constantly compared with the current driving
behaviour. If the system detects that the driv-
er is tired, an audible warning is given with a
sound and an optic warning is shown with a
symbol and complementary message on the
instrument panel display ››› Fig. 199. The
message on the instrument panel display is shown for approximately 5 seconds, and de-
pending on the c

ase, is repeated. The system
stores the last message displayed.
The message on the instrument panel display
can be switched off by pressing the  button on the windscreen wiper lever or the

Conditions of operation
Driving behaviour is only calculated on
speeds above about 65 km/h (40 mph) up to
around 200 km/h (125 mph).

se damage.
● The Park Assist system uses as a reference
park
ed 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 dam
aged 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 t
o clean the ultrasound sensors, do not
apply it directly unless very briefly and al-
ways from a distance of more than 10 cm.
● 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,
– cancellation of the parking manoeuvre or
defective parking.
● If one of the ultrasonic sensors is damaged,
the are
a corresponding to that group of sen-
sors (front or rear) is deactivated and cannot
be activated until the fault is corrected. How-
ever, you can still use the sensors of the oth-
er bumper as per usual. If there is a fault in
the system, consult a specialist workshop.
SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT dealership
for this. Note
● In or der t

o guarantee good system opera-
tion, 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-
pha
lt or paving stones and the noise of other
vehicles can induce the Park Assist system or
ParkPilot to give erroneous warnings.
● In order to become familiar with the system
and its
functions, SEAT 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 Park Assist system

Prematurely stopping or automatically inter-
rupting the manoeuvres for parking or exit-
ing a parking space
Park Assist interrupts the manoeuvres for
parking or exiting a parking space in any of
the following cases:
● Button  is pressed.
● The speed exceeds approximately 7 km/h
(4 mph).
● The driver takes hold of the steering wheel.
● The parking manoeuvre does not end with-
in ap pr

oximately 6 minutes following activa-
tion of the automatic steering.
● There is a fault in the system (the system is
tempor
arily unavailable).
● ASR is switched off.
● ASR or ESC intervene with regulation.
● The driver door is opened.
To r
estart the manoeuvre it is necessary that
none of these things occur and that button  is pressed again.

Operation
Special Characteristics
The P ark
Assist system is subject to certain
limitations inherent to the system. For exam-
ple, it is therefore not possible to enter or exit
a parking space on sharp bends.
While entering or exiting a parking space, a
brief signal sounds to prompt the driver to
change between forward and reverse gears. If
this signal does not sound, the gear change
will be indicated when the continuous signal
sounds (object at 30 cm) in ParkPilot.
When the Park Assist system turns the steer-
ing wheel with the vehicle stationary, the in- strument panel also displays the symbol
.
Pre ss down the brake pedal so that the turn
takes place with the vehicle stationary and
the smallest possible number of manoeuvres
take place in the parking space.
Trailer mode
The Park Assist system cannot be switched
on if the factory-fitted towing bracket
››› page 255 is electrically connected to a
trailer. After changing a wheel
If, af
ter changing a wheel, the vehicle stops
entering and exiting parking spaces correctly,
the circumference of the new wheel may be
different and the system may need to adapt
to it. The adaptation is automatic and takes
place during driving. Making turns slowly, at
less than 20 km/h (12 mph) may contribute
to this adaptation process ››› in Introduc-
tion on p ag
