I am having a tow bar fitted to my Karoq but I am a little concerned the tow bar could affect the rear censors or even active the auto brake function. Has anyone had an issues with this? Should I fork out another £100+ for a detachable one?

I can’t work out how the Front Assist assesses the road ahead. There doesn’t seam to be any pattern to its behavior. I have approached the rear of hundreds of cars at various speeds and got close enough to expect at least a warning if not an intervention and got nothing 99% of the time, I get no warning when passing very close to parked cars (not that I want it to) yet got a warning when a pedestrian walk out in front of me (but she was not as close as when I pass parked cars). It will occasionally give a warning signal when there’s nothing in front of me, yet when I try to activate it by driving head on towards a stationary vehicle, I get nothing, not that I am brave or stupid enough to get too close. And as for oncoming traffic how does it know not to go off even why passing on a narrow road. Any ideas?

Thanks to all for the great info.

Just bought a 2018 Karoq diesel SE L 4*4. The sales rep told me it was permeant 4 wheel drive with just 10 percent of the power going to the rear wheels, more when needed. But I cannot find any more information or conformation regarding this. Can anyone give me any more info. Slawit 51.
