CAUTION
The radar sensors on the rear bumper
●
may be damaged or shifted in the event of
a collision, for example, when entering or
exiting a parking space. This may result in
the system disconnecting itself, or at least
possibly 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 SEAT. 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, do not use it and contact a speci-
alised workshop.

Driving
 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 293, a warning to switch lanes will also ap-
pear even though the turn signal has not been en-
gaged (blind spot detector "Plus").
Some warning and control lamps will light up
briefly when the ignition is switched on to
check certain functions. They will switch off
after a few seconds.
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 beam is on, then the control
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
accidents 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.
