The blind spot detector with parking assis-
tant can be switched on and off by accessing
the Assistance systems menu on the
dash panel display using the steering wheel
controls. If the vehicle is equipped with a
multifunction camera, it can also be ac-
cessed by means of the driver assistance sys-
tems key located on the main beam head-
light lever.
Open the Assistants menu.
● Blind spot
● Exit Assist
If
the verification box on the control panel is
checked , the functionality will be automat-
ically activated at ignition.
When the blind spot detector is ready to op-
erate, the indications in the external mirrors
will turn on briefly as confirmation.
When the vehicle is restarted, the last adjust-
ment in the system will remain active.
If the blind spot detector was automatically
deactivated, it will only be possible to restart
the system after turning the vehicle off and
restarting it. Automatic deactivation of the blind spot de-
tect
or (BSD)
The r
adar sensors of the blind spot detector
with rear cross traffic alert will be automati-
cally deactivated when, among other rea-
sons, one of the sensors is detected to be
permanently covered. This may be the case if,
for example, there is a layer of snow or ice in
front of one of the sensors.
The relevant text message will appear in the
dash panel display.
Trailer mode
The Blind spot detector and the rear cross
traffic alert will be automatically deactivated
and it will be impossible to activate them if
the tow hitch is electrically connected to a
trailer or other similar object.
As soon as the driver starts to drive with a
trailer connected electrically to the vehicle, a
message will appear on the instrument panel
display indicating that the blind spot detec-
tor and the rear cross traffic alert are deacti-
vated. Once the trailer has been unhitched
from the vehicle, if you want to use the blind
spot detector and the rear cross traffic alert,
you will have to reactivate them in the corre-
sponding menu.
If the towing hitch is not factory equipped,
then the blind spot detector and the rear
cross traffic alert will have to be deactivated
manually when driving with a trailer. SEAT Drive Profile*

The SEAT Drive Profile enables the driver to
c
hoo
se betw
een four profiles or modes, Eco,
Normal , Sport and Individual , that
modify the behaviour of various vehicle func-
tions, providing different driving experiences.
In addition, the 4Drive version features the Offroad and Snow profiles.
The Individual profile can be configured
according to personal preferences. The other
profiles have a fixed configuration.
Description Depending on the equipment fitted in the ve-
hic

signs in front of the vehicle. After checking
and ev aluatin
g the inf
ormation from the cam-
era, the navigation system and the current
vehicle data, up to three valid traffic signs
are displayed ››› Fig. 214 B in conjunction
with their corresponding additional signs.
The sign that is currently valid for the
driver is shown in the left side of the
screen For example, a maximum speed
limit of 130 km/h (100 mph)
››› Fig. 214 A.
A sign valid only in certain circum-
stances, e.g. 100 km/h (60 mph) is
shown second, together with the addi-
tional rain sign.
If the windscreen wiper is
working while you are driving, the signal
with the additional rain sign will be
shown first, on the left, as it is the one
that is applicable at the time.
A sign valid only with restrictions, e.g.
No overtaking at certain times, will be
displayed third ››› Fig. 214 C.
Speed warning
If the system detects that the permitted
speed is exceeded, it may warn the driver
with a “gong” and visually with a message
on the dash panel display.
The speed warning can be adjusted or deacti-
vated completely in the infotainment system
using the button and the

page 33. The speed is adjusted in
steps of 5 km/h (3 mph) within a range of be-
tween 0 km/h (mph) and 20 km/h (12 mph)
above the maximum speed permitted.
Trailer mode
In vehicles equipped with a towing bracket
device from the factory and a trailer that is
electrically connected to the vehicle, it is pos-
sible to activate or deactivate the display of
specific traffic signs for vehicles with trailer,
such as speed limits or overtaking prohibi-
tions. Activation or deactivation is performed
on the infotainment system using the button and the
S

page 33.
For trailer mode, the display of speed limits
applicable to the type of trailer or to the legal
provisions can be adjusted. The speed is ad-
justed in steps of 10 km/h (5 mph) within a
range of between 60 km/h (40 mph) and
130 km/h (80 mph). If it is adjusted to a
speed greater than that which is permitted in
the country in question for driving with a
trailer, the system automatically displays the
usual speed limits, e.g. in Germany 80 km/h
(50 mph).
If the speed warning for the trailer is deacti-
vated, the system displays the speed limits
as if there were no trailer hitched. Limited operation
The traffic s
ign detection system has certain
limitations. The following cases may lead the
system to operate with limitations or not at
all:
● In the case of poor visibility, e.g. in snow,
rain, fog or int
ense mist.
● In cases of dazzling, e.g. caused by head-
on traffic or b
y the sun.
● When driving at high speeds.
● If the camera is covered or dirty.
● If the traffic signs are out of the camera's
field of
vision.
● If the traffic signs are partially or totally
cov
ered, e.g. by trees, snow, dirt or other ve-
hicles.
● In the case of traffic signs that do not fulfil
the regu
lations.
● In the case of damaged or bent traffic
signs.
● In the c
ase of variable messages on over-
head or g
antry signs (LED-based variable traf-
fic signs or other lighting units).
● If the maps on the navigation system are
not up-to-d
ate.
● In the case of adhesives affixed to vehicles
that depict
traffic signs, e.g. speed limits on
lorries.

Operation
CAUTION
● In cer t
ain 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.
● Retrofitting of certain accessories to the ve-
hicle, s
uch 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 damag
ed 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 c
lean the ultrasound sensors, do not
apply it directly unless very briefly and al-
ways from a distance of more than 10 cm.
● A registration plate or plate holder on the
front w
ith larger than the space for the regis-
tration plate, or a registration plate that is
curved or warped can cause:
–false detections,
– loss of sensor visibility.
– cancellation of the parking manoeuvre or
defective parking. ●
If one of the u
ltrasonic sensors is damaged,
the area corresponding to that group of sen-
sors (front or rear) is deactivated and cannot
be activated until the fault is corrected. How-
ever, you can still use the sensors of the oth-
er bumper as per usual. If there is a fault in
the system, consult a specialist workshop.
SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT dealership
for this. Note
● In or der t o guar
antee good system opera-
tion, 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.
● In order to become familiar with the system
and its f
unctions, SEAT recommends that you
practice operating the Park Assist system in
an area where there is not too much traffic or
in a car park. Description of the Park Assist system

Prematurely stopping or automatically inter-
rupting the manoeuvres for parking or exit-
ing a parking space
Park Assist interrupts the manoeuvres for
parking or exiting a parking space in any of
the following cases:
● Press the
button.
● The s
peed exceeds approximately 7 km/h
(4 mph).
● The driver takes hold of the steering wheel.
250
Page 253 of 348

Driver assistance systems
● The p ark
in
g manoeuvre does not end with-
in approximately 6 minutes following activa-
tion of the automatic steering.
● There is a fault in the system (the system is
temporari
ly unavailable).
● ASR is switched off.
● ASR or ESC intervene with regulation.
● The driver door is opened.
To re
start the manoeuvre it is necessary that
none of these things occur and that the
button is pressed again.
Special Characteristics
The Park Assist system is subject to certain
limitations inherent to the system. For exam-
ple, it is therefore not possible to enter or exit
a parking space on sharp bends. While entering or exiting a parking space, a
brief sign
al sounds to prompt the driver to
change between forward and reverse gears
(depending on the case). In successive ma-
noeuvres, the assistant tells the driver to
change gears, at the latest, when the contin-
uous audible signal is given (object present
at a distance of ≤30 cm) by Park Pilot.
When the Park Assist system turns the steer-
ing wheel with the vehicle stationary, the in-
strument panel also displays the symbol .
Keep the brake pedal depressed while the
symbol remains on the dash panel display to
turn the wheels with the vehicle stopped.
This way, the system will require fewer ma-
noeuvres to complete the parking action. Trailer mode
The Park As
sist system cannot be switched
on if the factory-fitted towing bracket
››› page 273 is electrically connected to a
trailer.
After changing a wheel
If, after changing a wheel, the vehicle stops
entering and exiting parking spaces correctly,
the circumference of the new wheel may be
different and the system may need to adapt
to it. The adaptation is automatic and takes
place during driving. Making turns slowly and
in both directions (20 km/h [12 mph]) for a
few minutes may contribute to this adapta-
tion process ››› in Introduction on

In order to view the entire periphery of the ve-
hicle, the vehicle must be moved a few me-
tres forwards and backwards. Thus, the miss-
ing areas are screened and obstacles at the
sides of the vehicle are displayed
››› Fig. 223 C .
S pec
i
al features of ParkPilot with Area View
In the following situations the screened area
on the side of the vehicle is automatically
hidden:
● When a vehicle door is opened.
● When the ASR is switched off.
● When there is ASR or ESC regulation.
● If the vehicle remains stationary for more
than appr
oximately 3 minutes. WARNING
● Alw a
ys pay attention, also when looking
straight ahead, to traffic and the vehicle sur-
roundings. The assistance systems are not a
replacement for driver awareness. When in-
serting or removing the vehicle from a park-
ing space, or when performing similar ma-
noeuvres the driver always assumes the re-
sponsibility.
● Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times t
o suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions. ●
The ultr a
sound 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
surrou
ndings: use the mirrors for additional
help. CAUTION
Parking Aid functions may be negatively af-
f ect ed b
y 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 refl
ect the ultrasound sensors' sig-
nals. The system cannot detect these objects
or people wearing such clothes correctly.
● Ultrasound sensor signals may be affected
by e
xternal sound sources. In certain circum-
stances this may prevent them from detect-
ing people or objects.
● Please note that low obstacles detected by
the syst
em may no longer be registered by the sensors as the car moves closer, so the
sys
t
em 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 v
ehicle could suffer considerable
damage.
● The knocks or damage on the radiator
grill
e, 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.
● A registration plate or plate holder on the
front w
ith larger than the space for the regis-
tration plate, or a registration plate that is
curved or warped can cause:
– false detections,
– loss of sensor visibility. Note
● In cer t
ain 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, 258

The Easy Connect system screen will only dis-
play objects detected at the front, and the ve-
hicle's trajectory will be hidden. Braking while manoeuvring function* 3 Only valid with Parking System Plus
As
soon a
s an obstacle is detected while re-
versing, the braking while manoeuvring func-
tion activates the emergency braking. De-
pending on the equipment, the braking while
manoeuvring function can also activate
emergency braking while moving forwards.
The emergency braking function is used to
minimise collisions. Vehicle speed must not
be higher than 10 km/h.
The braked manoeuvre function is active or
inactive when the parking light is lit or off, re-
spectively. If an emergency braking is activa-
ted, the function will remain inactive until the
gear is changed.
The Parking System’s limitations apply.

arking aid (Park Pilot)*
Des
cription Assorted assistance systems – which vary
depending on the equipment
fitt
ed in the car
– will help you when parking or manoeu-
vring.
The rear parking aid is an audible assistant
that warns of obstacles located behind the
vehicle.
There are sensors integrated in the rear
bumper. When they detect an obstacle, you
are alerted by audible warnings and visually
on the Easy Connect system.
If the Top View Camera* is installed, the rear
parking aid will issue an audible warning
about objects near the rear of the vehicle,
and the Top View Camera* image will be
available on the Easy Connect screen, giving
a real image of the objects around the car.
Make particularly sure that the sensors are
not covered by adhesives, residues, dirt and
the like, as this could affect the system's op-
eration. Cleaning instructions ››› page 287.

Examples of optical illusions caused by the
cameras:
The images on the area view system cameras are only
two-dimensional. Due to a lack of spatial depth, it is dif-
ficult or impossible to make out on-screen any holes
there may be on the ground, objects jutting out from the
ground or parts protruding from other vehicles.
Situations in which the objects or other vehicles appear
to be further away or closer than they really are:
– On moving from a horizontal plane to a slope.
– On moving from a slope to a horizontal plane.
– If the vehicle is heavily loaded at the rear.
Examples of optical illusions caused by the
cameras:
– If the vehicle approaches protruding objects. These
objects may be outside the cameras' angle of visibility. Trailer mode
