Help with parking and manoeuvring
●
To become f
amiliar 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 traffic
or in a car park.
Description of the parking assist sys-
tem
The components of the Park Assist system
are the ultr
asonic sensors located in the
front and rear bumpers, the button to
switch the system on and off and the mes-
sages on the instrument cluster display.
Prerequisites for parking
●
The traction control (TCS) must be switch-
ed on

›
page 269 .
●
Speed when passing next to the parking
space: do not exceed approx. 50 km/h (31
mph).
●
Keep a distance between 0.5 and 2.0 me-
tres when driving past the parking space.
●
Space length (parallel parking): vehicle
length + 0.8 meters.
●
Space width (angle parking): vehicle width
+ 0.8 meters.
●
Do not exceed approximately 7 km/h
(4 mph) when parking. The vehicle will per-
form an automatic braking only once if this
speed is exceeded. If you exceed the speed
more than once, the Park Assist system
switches off.
Requirements for leaving the parking
space (only for parallel parking)
●
The traction control (TCS) must be switch-
ed on
›››
page 269 .
●
Space length: length of the vehicle + 0.5
metres.
●
Do not exceed approximately 7 km/h
(4 mph) when exiting the parking space.
Prematurely stopping or automatically in-
terrupting the manoeuvres for parking or
exiting a parking space
Park Assist interrupts the manoeuvres for
parking or exiting a parking space in any of
the following cases:
●
Press button in the infotainment system,
> Assistants > Park Assist system.
●
When exceeding a speed of approximately
7 km/h (4 mph) more than once.
●
The driver takes control of the steering
wheel.
●
The parking manoeuvre does not end
within 6 minutes from the activation of auto-
matic steering.
●
There is a fault in the system (the system is
temporarily unavailable).
●
The TCS is disconnected.
●
TCS or ESC intervene with regulation.
●
The driver door is opened.
To restart the manoeuvre it is necessary that
none of these things occur and that the
button on the infotainment system 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 ex-
it a parking space on sharp bends.
While entering or exiting a parking space, a
brief signal 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.
