Automatic parking system
●
The ultrasound sensors may have blind
spots in which obstacles and people are not
detected.
●
Monitor the area around the vehicle at all
times, since the ultrasound sensors do not
detect small children, animals or certain ob-
jects in all situations.
WARNING
Quick turns of the steering wheel when park-
ing or exiting a parking space with the au-
tomatic parking system can cause serious in-
jury.
●
Do not hold the steering wheel during ma-
noeuvres to park or exit a parking space un-
til the system requests it. Doing so disables
the system during the manoeuvre, resulting
in the parking being cancelled.
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 automatic parking
system and cause damage.
●
The automatic parking 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,
opportunely interrupt the parking manoeu-
vre 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 automatic parking
system or ParkPilot to give erroneous warn-
ings. The presence of metal objects can also
aect the manoeuvre.
●
In order to become familiar with the system
and its functions, CUPRA recommends that
you practice operating the automatic park-
ing system in an area where there is not too
much traic or in a car park.
Description of the automatic park-
ing system
The components of the automatic parking sys-
tem are the ultrasonic sensors located in the
front and rear bumpers, the
button to switch
the system on and o and the messages on the
infotainment system display.
Prerequisites for parking
●
The traction control (TCS) must be switched
on ›››page154.
●
Speed when passing next to the parking
space: do not exceed approx. 50km/h
(31mph).
