Driving
When the radar sensor begins to operate
pr
operly, the AC
C will become available. The
message on the screen will switch off and the
ACC may be reactivated.
ACC operation may be affected by a strong
radar reverse reflection. This may occur, for
example, in a closed car park or due to the
presence of metallic objects (e.g. guard rails
or sheets used in road works).
The area in front of and around the radar
sensor should not be covered with adhe-
sives, additional or similar headlights, as this
may negatively affect ACC operation.
If the front of the vehicle is not properly re-
paired or structural modifications are made
to it, ACC operation may be affected. This is
why CUPRA recommends visiting a special-
ised CUPRA dealer or any SEAT dealership.
CAUTION
If you have the sensation that the radar
sensor is damaged or has lost its settings,
disconnect the ACC. This way you can avoid
possible damage. If this occurs have it ad-
justed.
●
The sensor may not be adjusted correctly
if it receives an impact. This may compro-
mise the system's efficacy or disconnect it.
●
Repairs to the radar sensor require spe-
cialist knowledge and special tools. This is
why CUPRA recommends visiting a special-
ised CUPRA dealer or any SEAT dealership.
●
A re
gistration plate or plate holder on the
front that is larger than the space for the
registration plate, or a registration plate
that is curved or warped can cause the ra-
dar to malfunction.
●
Clean away the snow with a brush and the
ice preferably with a solvent-free de-icer
spray.
