Parking aid system (Park Assist)
NOTICE
●
In certain circumstances, the ultrasonic
sensors do not detect objects such as trailer
tongues, bars, fences, posts or thin trees, or
an open (or opening) rear lid, which could
damage the vehicle.
●
Retrotting of certain accessories to the
vehicle, such as a bicycle rack, may interfere
with the operation of the Park Assist system
and cause damage.
●
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 briey 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.
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 aect 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 traic or
in a car park.
