Drive assist sensors and cameras
Fig.105 Sensor detection zones.
The radar sensors are located on the left and
right of the bumper and are not visible from
the outside ›››Fig.104. The sensors monitor
both the blind spot and traic behind the vehi-
cle ›››Fig.105.
They support the following functions:
●
Lane departure warning (Side Assist)
›››page168.
●
Rear cross traic alert (RCTA) ›››page197.
Automatic deactivation of supported func-
tions
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
instrument panel display.
NOTICE
●
The radar sensors on the rear bumper may
be damaged or shifted in the event of a colli-
sion, for example, when entering or exiting a
parking space. This may result in the system
disconnecting itself, or at least possibly hav-
ing 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 limited
or work incorrectly if other paints are used.
●
The visibility of radar sensors may be aec-
ted due to leaves, snow, strong haze or dirt,
among others. Clean the area in front of the
sensors.
●
Never use auto lane changing or the rear
cross traic alert if the radar sensors are
dirty.
●
Radar operation may also be aected if ob-
jects such as bicycle racks or luggage racks
interfere with the visibility of the radars.
Ultrasound sensors
The bumpers are tted with ultrasound sen-
sors to perform the following functions:
●
Park Assist
›››page182.
●
Park assist plus ›››page176.
●
Rear park assist ›››page180.
NOTICE
●
Damage to the radiator grille, bumper,
wheel arch and vehicle underbody can mod-
ify the orientation of the sensors. This can af-
fect the parking aid function. Have the func-
tion 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 ob-
jects.
●
If you use high-pressure or vapour equip-
ment for cleaning, do not apply it directly,
unless you do so very briey, 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.
