Due to the train tomfoolery this week I found myself enjoying a 4 1/2 hour round trip over the M62 on Thursday to pick up family members. Due to the M62 being northern Britain's favourite car park I found myself sat in stationary/crawling traffic on a number of occasions.

 

At one point the car binged at me and flashed up an orange message saying that blind spot detection and rear traffic assist were unavailable due to "no sensor view". At the same time the trip distance changed to an icon that looked like the orange blind spot symbol that is normally present on the wing mirrors.

 

When clicking the assist button on the steering wheel both were unticked and ticking them again just caused the error to reappear.

 

About 10 minutes later I tried again and they both switched on and blind spot was certainly working.

 

Apart from an unresolved topic in the Octavia section I didn't find any other reference to the error on here so am I the first Superb owner to meet this new electrical gremlin? 🤔

 

I did lose these both functions too. This was 1 or 2 years ago.

But for me, both systems had lost their control unit coding 😳. Fortunately I own a VCDS and I was able to set the original code back.

From then, it didn't occur again.
