Automatic braking intervention by
P ark
Assist Park Assist helps the driver by automatically
br
ak

ing in certain situations.
The driver is always responsible for braking
in time ››› .
Aut om

atic braking intervention to avoid ex-
ceeding the speed limit
To avoid exceeding the speed limit of approx-
imately 7 km/h (4 mph) when entering or
leaving a parking space, the brakes may acti-
vate automatically. After automatically acti-
vating the brakes, the manoeuvres to enter or
exit a parking space may continue.
The brakes are only automatically activated
once for each attempt to enter or exit a park-
ing space. If the speed of approximately
7 km/h (4 mph) is exceeded again, the corre-
sponding operation is halted.
Automatic braking to reduce damages
Depending on certain conditions, the Park
Assist system can automatically brake the ve-
hicle when faced with an obstacle, briefly ac-
tioning and holding down the brake ped-
al ››› . Following this the driver must press
the br ak

e pedal.
Automatic braking intervention to reduce
damage leads to the parking manoeuvre fin-
ishing. WARNING
The automatic braking intervention by Park
As s

ist should never tempt you to take any
risk that may compromise safety. The system
is not a replacement for driver awareness.
● The Park Assist system is subject to certain
limitation
s inherent to the system. In certain
situations, the automatic braking interven-
tion may only work in a limited way or not
work at all.
● Always be ready to use the brakes yourself!
● The automatic braking intervention will end
aft
er approximately 1.5 seconds. Following
this, brake the vehicle yourself. Parking System Plus (ParkPi-

Represented area. During parking, P
ark

ing 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 covered by adhesives, residues and the
like, as this could affect the system's opera-
tion. Cleaning instructions ››› page 268.
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 »

●
The u ltr
asound sensors have blind spots in
which obstacles and people are not regis-
tered. Pay special attention to children and
animals.
● Always keep visual control of the vehicle
surr
oundings: use the mirrors for additional
help. CAUTION
Parking Aid functions may be negatively af-
f ect

ed by 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 r
eflect the ultrasound sensors' sig-
nals. The system cannot detect these objects
or people wearing such clothes correctly.
● Ultrasound sensor signals may be affected
by
external sound sources. In certain circum-
stances this may prevent them from detect-
ing people or objects.
● Please note that low obstacles detected by
the sys
tem may no longer be registered by the sensors as the car moves closer, so the
sy
s

tem will not give any further warning. In
certain circumstances, objects such as high
kerbs that could damage the bottom of the
vehicle are not detected either.
● If the first warning from the ParkPilot is ig-
nored, the
vehicle could suffer considerable
damage.
● The knocks or damage on the radiator
gril
le, bumper, wheel arch and vehicle under-
body can adjust the orientation of the sen-
sors. This can affect the parking aid function.
In this case, have the function checked by a
specialised workshop. Note
● In c er

tain 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 equip-
ped with ultrasound systems;
– in downpours, intense snow, hail or
dense exhaust gases,
– if the number plate is not perfectly se-
cured to the bumper surface,
– or in locations such as the brow of a hill.
● In order to guarantee good system opera-
tion, keep the u
ltrasound sensors clean, free of snow or ice, and do not cover them with
a
dhe

sives or other objects.
● If you use high-pressure or vapour equip-

table on page 2
Using 4 cameras, the system generates a rep-
resentation that is shown on the infotain-
ment system display. The cameras are loca-
ted on the radiator grille, the exterior mirrors
and the rear lid.
The functions and representations of the
Area View system may vary depending on
whether or not the vehicle has ParkPilot. WARNING
The image from the cameras does not make it
po s

sible to calculate the distance to the ob-
stacles (people, vehicles, etc.) precisely, so
using them could cause serious accidents
and injury.
● The camera lenses augment and distort the
vi

sual field and the objects on the screen are
seen differently and imprecisely.
● Certain objects may not be shown or may
not be sho
wn very clearly, for example, posts
or thin rails, due to the screen resolution or if
light conditions are insufficient. ●
The c amer

as have blind spots in which ob-
stacles and people are not registered.
● The camera lens must be kept free, without
sno
w or ice, and should not be covered. WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
Ar e

a View system cannot overcome the limits
imposed by the laws of physics and it only
works within the limits of the system. The
greater convenience provided by the Area
View system should never tempt you to take
any risk that may compromise safety. If used
negligently or involuntarily, it may cause se-
rious accidents and injuries. The system is
not a replacement for driver awareness.
● Adapt your speed and driving style to suit
vi

sibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
● Do not be distracted from the traffic by
lookin
g at the screen.
● Monitor the area around the vehicle at all
times, s
ince the cameras do not capture small
children, animals and certain objects in all
situations.
● The use of a number plate may interfere in
the v
iews shown on the screen, since the
cameras' field of vision may be reduced.
● The system will probably be unable to rep-
re

sent all areas clearly. » 247

Towing bracket device*
Towing bracket device* T r

Introduction Take into account country-specific regula-
tion
s

about driving with a trailer and the use
of a towing bracket.
The vehicle has been developed primarily for
carrying people, although it can also be used
to tow a trailer if fitted with the correspond-
ing technical equipment. This additional load
has an effect on the useful life, fuel con-
sumption and vehicle performance and in
some cases can reduce the service intervals.
Driving with a trailer requires more force from
the vehicle, and thus more concentration
from the driver.
In winter, winter tyres should be fitted on
both the vehicle and the trailer.
Maximum vertical load technically permissi-
ble on the coupling
The maximum vertical load technically per-
mitted from the trailer draw bar on the towing
bracket's tow hitch is 85 kg.
Vehicles with the Start-Stop system
If the vehicle has a factory-fitted towing
bracket or one that is retrofitted by SEAT, the Start-Stop system operates as normal. No
s
pec

ial 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 ehic

les 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. WARNING
Never use the trailer to transport people,
s inc

e it would put their life in danger and is
also prohibited. WARNING
Undue use of the towing bracket may cause
injur y

and accidents.
● Only use the towing bracket if it is in a per-
fect
state of repair and is properly secured.
● Never modify or repair the towing bracket
in any
way.
● In order to reduce the danger of injury in
the event
of rear-end collisions and to avoid injury to pedestrians and cyclists when park-
in
g the

vehicle, cover or remove the tow hitch
when you are not using a trailer.
● Never fit a towing bracket “with weight dis-
tribution” or “lo
ad compensation”. The vehi-
cle has not been designed for this type of
towing bracket. The towing bracket could fail
and the trailer could be released from the ve-
hicle. WARNING
Driving with a trailer and transporting heavy
or l ar

ge objects can affect driving properties
and even cause an accident.
● Always secure the load properly using belts
or str
aps that are suitable and in good condi-
tion.
● Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times
to suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions.
● Trailers with a high centre of gravity are
more lik
ely to overturn than those with a low
one.
● Avoid sudden braking and manoeuvres.
● Take great care when overtaking.
● Reduce speed immediately if you notice
that
the trailer is swaying, however slightly.
● Never drive at more than 80 km/h (50 mph)
when to
wing a trailer (or at more than
100 km/h (60 mph) in exceptional circum-
stances). This also applies in countries where
driving at higher speeds is permitted. Take » 255
