Driver assistance systems
The radar sensors are located on the left and
right of the bumper and are not visible from
the outside
›››
Fig. 151 . The sensors monitor
both the blind spot and traffic behind the ve-
hicle
›››
Fig. 152 .
They support the following functions:
●
Lane departure warning (Side Assist)
›››
page 240.
●
Rear cross traffic alert (RCTA)
›››
page 242 .
Automatic deactivation of supported
functions
The rear radar sensors deactivate automati-
cally when, among other reasons, one of the
sensors is detected to be permanently cov-
ered. This may be the case if, for example,
there is a layer of snow or ice over one of the
sensors.
The relevant text message will appear in the
dash panel display.
CAUTION
●
The radar sensors on the rear bumper
may be damaged or shifted in the event of a
collision, for example, when entering or ex-
iting a parking space. This may result in the
system disconnecting itself, or at least pos-
sibly having its functionality diminished.
●
In order to ensure that the radar sensors
work properly, keep the rear bumper free
of snow and ice and do not cover it.
●
The rear bumper should only be painted
with paint authorised by CUPRA. The lane
departure warning's functions may be limi-
ted or work incorrectly if other paints are
used.
●
The visibility of radar sensors may be af-
fected due to leaves, snow, strong haze or
dirt, among others. Clean the area in front
of the sensors.
●
Never use the lane departure warning,
the rear cross traffic alert or the door
opening warning if the radar sensors are
dirty.
Ultrasound sensors
The bumpers are fitted with ultrasound sen-
sors to perform the following functions:
●
Park Assist
›››
page 252 .
●
Parking aid Plus
›››
page 260 .
●
Rear parking aid
›››
page 263 .
CAUTION
●
Damage to the radiator grille, bumper,
wheel arch and vehicle underbody can
modify the orientation of the sensors. This
can affect the parking aid function. Have
the function checked by a specialised
workshop.
●
A number plate or number plate holder
with dimensions that exceed the space for
the number plate, or a cured or deformed
number plate can cause false detections or
a loss of visibility for the sensors.
Note
●
In order to guarantee good operation,
keep the sensors clean, free of snow and
ice, and do not cover them with stickers or
other objects.
●
If you use high-pressure or vapour equip-
ment for cleaning, do not apply it directly,
unless you do so very briefly, and always
keep a distance of more than 10 cm away.
●
Fitting certain accessories to the front of
the vehicle, such as a plate holder with ad-
vertising, may interfere with the operation
of the Park Assist.
