Blind Spot Monitoring etc

[chris45]

The blind spot monitor has failed to operate on my 1.5TSI Karoq Edition 2018.  I checked the infotainment and it is ticked as active but states that it is unavailable when I attempt to untick the checkbox.  The rear traffic alert has the same issue in the infotainment screen.

On further investigation I noticed that a few extra settings seem to have appeared in infotainment settings that I have never seen (or been aware of) before and are not in my online manual.  For example, in Driver Assistance Settings there is "side assist" (which also doesn't work) and in Parking and Manoeuvring Settings there is "Exit Warning System" (not working also).

The car was recently serviced and I wonder if some incorrect software has been added to my car and caused these problems.

It would help if someone could check their car's settings to see if the apparently new settings are correct or not.

Thanks

Hi im experiencing same issue after car was took from service. It always deactivating Rear traffic alert and wizard for “Blind
spot”Monitoring. Do you tried to activate those assistants and they went off by showing this message?

Can I be a pain and ask if a Karoq Edition owner could look under the Parking and Manoeuvring Settings and confirm whether or not they have a setting called "Exit Warning System"?  I am sure that this wasn't in my settings before I had it serviced and I have a feeling that this might be linked to the reason why my Blind Spot setting is saying "Function Currently Not Available"

 

Many Thanks

Hi chris45, that's a new one on me. Just checked in my Parking and manoeuvring settings, and that bit about Exit warning system is not there. However, i have the 2.0 TDI Edition, so it has never (so far, touch wood) had any software updates or generally fiddled with. I have it serviced at an independent VW/Skoda garage.

Thanks westie38, this change in the settings has occurred after a service at my local Skoda dealer.   I haven't touched the software and the dealer says they didn't change it.  It just seems odd that it has changed after this service and it has left the Blind Spot Monitoring system failing to work.   "Exit Warning" is a setting that only seems to apply to Audi cars when searching for it on Google.

There is also another setting called "Side Assist" that has appeared that also doesn't work and was not there before the service.

Can anyone think of any other way that these settings could have changed other than at the Skoda dealer?

Get it fixed under warranty?

Hey Chris does your menu looks like on pic before servis visit? Because i have same menu for manouvering and asistents as westie does. it's strange for me that yours looks differently

No the menu has changed from the one that westie had to the one I have now.  I know that I can probably get this fixed under warranty but I think it would be good to see if there is a simple solution.

It seems very strange that the menu has changed and I suspect that it is something that happened during the service.

I tried doing a factory reset on the section for parking and manoeuvring but it didn't fix the problem.

i think you should blame servis for misleading you once they claimed no sw was changed but apprently it was. it seems like sw from totally different car ha haa
