Problems and solutions
The system behaves differently than ex-
pect
ed
Ther
e can be several causes:
●
The camera is dirty
›››
page 351 . In addi-
tion to dirt and snow, camera visibility can be
reduced by detergent residue or any type of
coating.
●
The system requirements must be met
›››
page 287.
●
The camera is covered with water.
●
The factory-fitted towing bracket must not
be electrically connected to a trailer
›››
page 295.
●
The vehicle has some type of damage in
the camera area, e.g. due to a parking im-
pact.
●
The field of view of the camera is blocked
by an accessory, e.g. a bicycle carrier system.
●
Changes have been made to the paint in
the camera area, or structural modifications
have been made to a component such as
the running gear.
Camera with no visibility, fault message,
the system disconnects
●
Clean the camera or remove possible ad-
hesives or accessories from it
›››
page 351 .
●
Check for visible damage.
Possible solution
●
Temporarily disconnect the system.
●
Check if one of the causes indicated above
has occurred.
●
Once the source of the problem has been
eliminated, the system may be reconnected.
●
If the system still behaves unpredictably,
have it checked by a specialised workshop.
Towing bracket device*
Trailer mode
Introduction
Take into account country-specific regula-
tions about driving with a trailer and the use
of a t
owing bracket.
The vehicle has been developed primarily for
carrying people, although it can also be used
to tow a trailer if fitted with the correspond-
ing technical equipment. This additional load
has an effect on the useful life, fuel con-
sumption and vehicle performance and in
some cases can reduce the service intervals.
Driving with a trailer requires more force
from the vehicle, and thus more concentra-
tion from the driver.
In winter, winter tyres should be fitted on
both the vehicle and the trailer.
Maximum vertical load technically permit-
ted on the coupling device
The maximum vertical load technically per-
mitted from the trailer draw bar on the tow-
ing bracket's tow ball is 80 kg.
Vehicles with the Start-Stop system
If the vehicle has a factory-fitted towing
bracket or one that is retrofitted by CUPRA,
