CAUTION
Parking distance warning system functions
can be aff ect
ed by different factors that
can cause damage:

Driving
Parking System Plus* Description Fig. 164
Parking aid view on the Infotainment
syst em displ
ay. Parking aid plus assists the driv
er by giving
visual and audio w
arnings about obstacles
detected in front of and behind the vehicle.
The bumpers are fitted with sensors. When an
obstacle is detected, it is indicated by audible
signals and in the Infotainment system
››› Fig. 164.
When moving close to an obstacle, it is possi-
ble to know if the obstacle is in front of the ve-
hicle or behind it by choosing different
sounds.
The approximate measurement range of the
sensors is:
1.20 m
A 0.60 m

As you approach the obstacle, the frequency
of the audible signals will increase. The signal
will sound continuously at around 0.30 m:

Driving
Vehicles with the Start-Stop system
If the v ehicl
e has a factory-fitted towing
bracket or one that is retrofitted by SEAT, the
Start-Stop system operates as normal. No
special characteristics need to be taken into
account.
If the system does not recognise the trailer or
the trailer bracket has not been retrofitted by
SEAT, the Start-Stop system must be discon-
nected by pressing the corresponding button
in the lower part of the centre console before
driving with the trailer, and it should remain
off for the rest of the journey ››› .
V ehicl

es with driving profile selection
If you are going to be towing a trailer, the use
of the Eco driving profile is not recommen-
ded. You are advised to select another of the
available driving profiles before beginning to
drive with a trailer.
Trailer weight/drawbar load
Never exceed the authorised trailer weight. If
you do not load the trailer up to the maximum
permitted trailer weight, you can then climb
correspondingly steeper slopes.
The maximum trailer weights listed are only
applicable for altitudes up to 1000 m above
sea level. Since higher altitude decreases en-
gine performance and the ability to climb
slopes, the tow load decreases proportional-
ly. The weight of the vehicle and trailer com- bination must be reduced by 10% for every
1000 m of altitude

. When possible, operate
the trailer with the maximum authorised
drawbar load on the ball joint of the towing
bracket, but do not exceed the specified lim-
it. WARNING
Never use the trailer to transport people,
since it w oul

d put their life in danger and is
also prohibited. WARNING
Undue use of the towing bracket may
cause injury and accidents.

Limits and attachment points for ret-
r ofitting a t
owing bracket. SEAT recommends that towing brackets be
r
etr

ofitted at a specialised workshop. For ex- ample, it may very well be necessary to ad-
just the cooling system or mount thermal pr

o-
tection plates. SEAT recommends visiting a
SEAT dealership for this.
If a towing bracket is retrofitted, the distance
specifications should always be kept in mind.
The distance between the centre of the ball
head and the road ››› Fig. 178
C must never
be l ess than that indicat

ed. This also applies
when the vehicle is fully loaded, including the
technically permissible maximum vertical
load on the coupling device.
