Intelligent Park Assist (IPA) automatic parking system
●
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.
CUPRA recommends going to a specialised
CUPRA dealer or any SEAT dealership for this
purpose.
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 stickers 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
aect the manoeuvre.
●
To become familiar with the system and
its functions, CUPRA recommends that you
practice operating the automatic parking
system in an area where there is not too
much traic or in a car park.

TCS or ESC intervene with regulation.
●
A door or the luggage compartment is
