ADAS Errors - is there an easy way to access the radar unit?

[thirteenth_step]

Hi,

I've got a Mk4 Leon but I guess this could be the same for a lot of the range. While driving down a national speed road I got the following warnings on my dashboard pop up suddenly.

1. Front Assist is unavailable.
2. Proactive occupant protection system is restricted.
3. Travel Assist is currently unavailable.

I've turned the car off and on again and the errors are still there. Is there an easy way that I can access the ADAS radar to make sure that it's not out of place for some reason? I've tried pushing it in through the grille but it seems solid and I can't get an amazing connection or much strength behind it.

Thanks for any advice!

Do you always drive with a seatbelt?

...yes?

Since the MQB EVO platform, there has been a procedure for fastening the seat belt. If this procedure is interrupted too often or is carried out incorrectly, an error will be generated for active passenger protection, etc. This is no joke. You then have to carry out a certain number of correct procedures in order for the error to be deleted. This maybe have triggered the problem for you.

Well, we're quite some way from April the 1st so I think I'm safe! I can't find anything from googling? Is this documented anywhere on here? I did just have a look in the guides but can't see anything.

mein Händler hatte das schon lange vor dem 1. Juli 2024. Er hat diese technische Dokumentation erst nach Rückfrage beim Generalvertrieb erhalten. Was ich aber vergessen habe, war ein Superb 4

Aber ich denke, es wird für alle gleich sein

Ich werde mit meinem Kontakt sprechen

[cairus]

Ive been having this oddly enough too, initially "Front Assist is unavailable", now getting "Proactive occupant protection system is restricted" each time I start the car.

For what it's worth, I took my car into a local independent garage who did an ADAS calibration and I haven't seen this again since and it's been about 3 months. Cost me like £200 but it's worked (so far) so I can't complain.

The equivalent of just under 240€... is a rip-off I think

good shout, will do short, im kind of guessing it might be related to the gate way thing. Will confirm soon. Checked in for a garage check on the 22nd

Good to know a ball park price mate and yeah peace of mind is good too. One chap (or lass) did recommend a place for me around where I live, Sunset Derby.

We charge £150 inc. VAT per system, £200 is rather high

If I was closer you'd be the first garage I would have seen mate to sort out my other issues too, along with a rear* camera installation. hell I'm keen on the wrap-around lighting too if you guys do that too ahahhaha. If I plan a hike/visit I'll definitely give you guys a shout. Thank you.
