How to use SEAT Park Assist | Tutorial

New SEAT vehicles, such as the Ateca and Tarraco, now come equipped with a host of driver assistance systems and the Park Assist feature is one of them!

Using this system can be a daunting experience, especially for the first time. That's why Senior Sales Executive, Peter, shows exactly how it works and what you do or don't need to do.
_________________________________________________________________

The Park Assist can be activated by the driver via a switch on the central console. By activating the indicator stalk, he decides the side on which the stationary traffic is to be scanned. While driving by, (up to a speed of 40 km/h and a lateral distance of 0.5 to 1.5 metres), the sensor mechanism detects parking spaces that are large enough to park the car safely. These must be at least 1.1 metres longer than the total length of the car. Once a parking space is detected, a message appears on the multifunction display. Subsequently, the instruction is given to enter the starting position; this is necessary for the parking procedure.

The automatic steering control is activated by engaging reverse gear. The driver can take his/her hands off the wheel and only needs to accelerate and brake gently in which he/she is acoustically assisted by the ultrasonic parking aid. The car automatically parks in reverse, perfectly in line. Apart from that, any other parking manoeuvres necessary depend on the size of the parking space and are communicated to the driver via the display.

The driver can, of course, intervene at any time in the automatic parking process. The system parks automatically both in parallel parking as well as in parking bays. Unparking from parallel parking spaces is also possible.

This is really handy: first because you're a dealer and not the manufacturer, we know this is real (I wasn't quite sure how well it would work in practice), and second because it seems so simple like this, unlike in the manual which manages to make it seem complicated!

Thank you I just picked up my Arona excellence today. For obvious reasons couldn’t get a test drive or demonstrations at the showroom so yea this is great.

Nice one! Can you update this for an Ateca manual please ?

SEAT's Smart Solutions videos show the car driving forwards into a space, how do you select that instead of reversing ?

[OneEyedJackNLD]

Had my Arona for two years. Never got this to work. Have the business intense. Sad sad sad

[steveroberts]

Do the bays either side have to be occupied or will it spot park you if they are empty by just using the white lines?

does the Hyundai Arona auto park against a wall

Quick question, when I test drove one of these, it wouldn't go back by just taking my foot off the brake in a DSG, you had to use some accelerator which obviously made it a bit jerky. Is this because auto hold was turned on, I'm guessing that is the case and if you turn it off the automatic can take you forward and back without throttle, can anyone help with this

[Josekalel]

You know how I can get this to my Arona ?

[Optikification]

will it always select reverse into bays or does it also go nose first ? Reverse parking is always safer.

The Tarraco FR has park assist. Does it have a reversing camera also?
