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 affec-

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 traffic alert if the radar sensors are
dirty.
●
Radar operation may also be affected if ob-
jects such as bicycle racks or luggage racks
interfere with the visibility of the radars.
Ultrasound sensors
The bumpers are fitted with ultrasound sen-
sors to perform the following functions:

Rear park assist

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 briefly, and always keep
a distance of more than 10 cm away.
