Front assist problem ?

[Dr.zaro]

Hey guys , I am new here . I recently bought I seat Ateca 2021 FR model
there this sign always present , not changing whether I am driving or parking

This means that the assistant systems are booting up. If this never goes off, I would disconnect the battery, hold both poles together, allow the control units to discharge completely, then wait 30 minutes and then reconnect.

And there is something weird, if I look from side of front assist location I can see cabel and black box and i Can move it with my fingers , does this mean it is out of it place ?

 

[cairus]

Yes, a Problem

Probably needs more than that. Taken a knock perhaps or not even properly installed.

They are a bit temperamental on wet days but don't flap about.

It's true to say you should not see any cables or loose ones. There is a self test function so it's not passing that. Once connected correctly another function is to measure the bounce back from the radar. If impeded it will warn you. Rain is one or condensation in the unit. Loose cables is well over the operating parameters of it. Front assist may give you a thrill when it thinks you are going to run into something... you aren't at that now for sure.

New update guys , now the sign disappears after few minutes, i didn’t do anything it just disappeared alone. But now I don’t know if front assist working or not . How to test it without hitting a car

 

[Tell]

You can also try a hedge . Hedges going into bends too fast or not, often trigger mine. Bends where it thinks you are not going to turn... dampness in the hedge in my defence so it's seeing more than it should. I've had lorries turning in a park off the road has triggered mine in the past. So yeah.

It was probably damp or you sorted out the loose wire. It's passing the test function now.
