Fig.127 Sensor detection zones.
The rear radar sensors are located on the left
and right of the bumper and are not visible
from the outside ›››Fig.126. The sensors
monitor both the blind spot and traic behind
the vehicle ›››Fig.127.
They support the following functions:
●
Side Assist ›››page221.
●
Rear Cross Traic Alert ›››page255.
●
Exit Warning ›››page256.
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 in front of one
of the sensors.
The relevant text message will appear in the
instrument panel display.
Indicator lamps
Side Assist function not available
Rear Cross Traic Alert function not avail-
able.
Exit Warning not available.
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 aec-
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 traic alert if the radar sensors are
dirty.
●
Radar operation may also be
aected 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 ›››page234.
●
Park assist plus ›››page230.
●
Rear park assist ›››page233.
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.
