Driving
●
Alwa
ys pay attention to the vehicle's sur-
roundings.
●
Never use the blind spot detector or the
parking assistant if the radar sensors are
dirty.
●
The external rear view mirror control
lamps may have limited functionality due to
solar radiation.
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 blind
spot detector's functions may be limited or
work incorrectly if other paints are used.
Note
If the blind spot detector with parking as-
sistant does not work as described in this
chapter, stop using it and contact a special-
ised workshop.
Control lamps
Control lamp in external rear view mirrors:
It lights up
It lights up once briefly: the blind spot detector is acti-
vated and ready to operate.
It lights up: blind spot detector has detected a vehicle
in the blind spot.
Flashes
The blind spot detector has detected a vehicle in the
blind spot and the turn signal has been turned on in
the direction of the detected vehicle
›››
.
For vehicles that are also equipped with Lane Assist
›››
page 263, a warning to switch lanes will also appear
even though the turn signal has not been engaged
(blind spot detector “Plus”).
The control lamps light up when the ignition
is s
wit
ched on and should turn off after ap-
proximately 2 seconds. This is the time taken
for the function check.
If there are no indications from the control
lamp in the external rear view mirror, this
means that the blind spot detector has not
detected any other vehicles in the area
›››
.
If the dipped be
am is on, then the contr
ol
lamps in the external rear view mirrors will be
dimmed (night mode).
WARNING
If the warning lamps and the corresponding
messages are ignored when they light up,
the vehicle may stall in traffic and cause ac-
cidents and severe injuries.
●
Never ignore the warning lamps or mes-
sages.
●
Carry out the necessary operations.
CAUTION
Failure to heed the control lamps and cor-
responding text messages when they light
up may result in damage to the vehicle.
