making a calculation of tiredness. This is
c on
s
tantly 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. 205. The
message on the instrument panel display is
shown for approximately 5 seconds, and de-
pending on the case, 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
b
utt
on on the multi function steering
wheel

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).

The Fatigue detection h
as certain limitations
inherent to the system. The following condi-
tions can limit the Fatigue detection or pre-
vent it from functioning.
● At speeds below 65 km/h (40 mph)
● At speeds above 200 km/h (125 mph)
● When cornering
● On roads in poor condition
● In unfavourable weather conditions
● When a sporty driving style is employed
● In the event of a serious distraction to the
driver
Fatigue det
ection will be restored when the
vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes,
when the ignition is switched off or when the
driver has unbuckled their seat belt and
opened the door.
In the event of slow driving during a long pe-
riod of time (below 65 km/h, 40 mph) the
system automatically re-establishes the tired-
ness calculation. When driving at a faster
speed the driving behaviour will be recalcula-
ted. Parking aid (Park Pilot)
General
information Assorted assistance systems – which vary
depending on the equipment
fitt
ed in the car
– will help you when parking or manoeu-
vring.
The rear parking aid is an audible assistant
that warns about obstacles located behind
the vehicle ››› page 229.
During parking, Parking System Plus assists
the driver by visually and audibly warning
them about obstacles detected in front and
behind the vehicle ››› page 230. WARNING
● Alw a
ys 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 t
o suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions.
● The ultrasound sensors have blind spots in
which ob
stacles and people are not regis-
tered. Pay special attention to children and
animals. 228

Alw a
ys keep visual control of the vehicle
surroundings: use the mirrors for additional
help. CAUTION
Parking Aid functions may be negatively af-
f ect ed b
y 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 refl
ect the ultrasound sensors' sig-
nals. The system cannot detect, at least cor-
rectly, these objects or people wearing such
clothes.
● Ultrasound sensor signals may be affected
by e
xternal sound sources. In certain circum-
stances this may prevent them from detect-
ing people or objects.
● Please note that low obstacles detected by
the syst
em may no longer be registered by
the sensors as the car moves closer, so the
system will not give any further warning. In
certain circumstances, objects such as high kerbs that could damage the bottom of the
vehic
l
e are not detected either.
● If the first warning from the ParkPilot is ig-
nored, the v
ehicle could suffer considerable
damage.
● The knocks or damage on the radiator
grill
e, bumper, wheel arch and vehicle under-
body can adjust the orientation of the sen-
sors. This can affect the parking aid function.
Have the function checked by a specialised
workshop. Note
● In cer t
ain 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;
– In downpours, intense snow or dense ex-
haust gases;
– or in locations such as the brow of a hill.
● A registration plate or plate holder on the
front w
ith 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,
● In order to guarantee good system opera-
tion, keep the ultr
asound sensors clean, free of snow or ice, and do not cover them with
adhe
s
ives or other objects.
● If you use high-pressure or vapour equip-
ment to c
lean 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,
such a
s a bicycle rack, may interfere with the
operation of the Parking Aid.
● In order to familiarise yourself with the sys-
tem, it i
s 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 addition t
o the indications
››› page 232.
● In vehicles without a driv
er information
system, these parameters can be modified in
a SEAT Official Service or in a specialised
workshop.
● Please observe information on towing a
trail
er ››› page 233.
● The display on the Easy Connect screen
shows
a slight time delay. Rear parking aid*

Description
Ther e ar
e sen
sors integrated in the rear
bumper. When the sensors detect an obsta-
cle, you are alerted by audible warnings.
Make particularly sure that the sensors are
not covered by adhesives, residues and the
like, as this could affect the system's opera-
tion. Cleaning instructions ››› page 251.
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
betw
een 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) ››› in General
inf orm
ation on p
age 228, ››› in General in-
f orm
ation on p
age 229 !
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. On disengaging reverse gear, the Parking Aid
syst
em is disconnected immediately.

in
g System Plus assists
the driver by visually and audibly warning
them about obstacles detected in front of
and behind the vehicle.
There are ultrasound sensors integrated in
the front and rear bumpers. When they detect
an obstacle, you are alerted by audible warn-
ings and visually on the Easy Connect sys-
tem.
In the event of danger of a frontal collision,
the audible warnings come from the front of
the vehicle, and in the event of the danger of
a rear-end collision they come from the rear. Make particularly sure that the sensors are
not co
vered by adhesives, residues and the
like, as this could affect the system's opera-
tion. Cleaning instructions ››› page 251.
The approximate measurement range of the
sensors is:
1.20 m
1.60 m
0.90 m
As you approach the obstacle, the time inter-
val 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).
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 obstacles at the
sides of the vehicle are displayed

sw
itched on, if a message reporting a Park-
ing aid error is displayed on the instrument
panel, there is a fault in the system.
If the fault does not disappear before discon-
necting the ignition, the next time that the
parking aid is engaged in reverse, no audible signal of the existence of a fault will be is-
sued.
Park
ing System Plus*
If there is a fault in the parking aid system a
message will appear on the instrument panel
indicating the error. In addition the key
LED will blink.
If there is a fault in a sensor, the symbol is
displayed on the Easy Connect display in
front of/behind the vehicle. If a rear sensor is
faulty, only the obstacles in area A are dis-
p l
a
yed ››› Fig. 206. If a front sensor is faulty,
only the obstacles in area B are displayed.

pressed.
Parking System Plus
The distance to possible obstacles at the rear
of the vehicle will not be displayed on the screen and nor will it be indicated by means
of audibl
e 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.
Braking while manoeuvring function* 3 Only valid with Parking System Plus
The emer
g
ency braking function is used to
minimise damage in the event of a collision.
Depending on the equipment, if the Parking
Aid is active, the braking while manoeuvring
function activates emergency braking when it
detects an obstacle in the vehicle’s path that
could cause a collision, driving forwards or in
reverse.
The function will not brake if the Parking Aid
is activated automatically. For the system to
operate, manoeuvring speed must be be-
tween 2.5 and 10 km/h (between 1.5 and 6
mph) for the front area and between 1.5 and
10 km/h (between 1 and 6 mph) for the rear.
Following an intervention, the braking while
manoeuvring function will be inactive in the
same direction of travel for 5 metres. Once
the gear is changed, or the selector lever’s
position is changed, the function will be ac-
tive again. The Parking Aid’s limitations ap-
