Driver assistance systems
●
The area in front of and around the radar
sensor should not be covered with adhe-
sives, additional headlights or similar items,
as this could have a negative impact on the
operation of the assistants. If the vehicle is
not properly repaired or structural modifi-
cations are made to it, the operation of the
assistants may be affected.
●
The repair and adjustment of sensors and
cameras requires special knowledge and
tools. It is recommended to visit a CUPRA
dealership for this purpose.

WARNING
●
Driver assistance systems can not over-
come the laws of physics. Depending on
the circumstances, a collision may not be
avoidable.
●
Warnings, notices and indicator lamps
may not be displayed on time, or may be
displayed incorrectly, e.g. if a vehicle ap-
proaches too quickly.
●
Corrective interventions by driver assis-
tance systems (e.g. interventions in the
steering or brakes) may be insufficient or
may never occur, depending on the cir-
cumstances. As a driver, you must be pre-
pared to act at all times.
Note
●
Due to the system's detection limits in the
surroundings, the systems may not give
warnings or intervene on time, or they
might do so even if it is not desired. In addi-
tion, the auxiliary systems may incorrectly
interpret a manoeuvre and, as a result,
warn the driver in an unexpected manner.
●
When the towing mode is selected, some
assist systems may react with limitations, in
an unusual way or may not be available.
Keep in mind the instructions relating to
the towing mode.

Detection area.
A radar sensor may be fitted to the front
bumper of the vehicle
›››
Fig. 148 . The front
radar detects any objects in its detection
zone
›››
Fig. 149 and provides support for
the following functions:
●
Front Assist
›››
page 224 .
●
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
›››
page 228.
The radar can have a range of up to 120m
(400ft) depending on road and weather
conditions.
WARNING
The visibility of the radar sensor can be im-
paired by dirt or environmental influences
such as rain, fog, snow, mud, dust, insects
etc. In this case the Front Assist and ACC
functions may stop working. The instru-
ment panel displays the following message:
No sensor vision!
