Hello Everyone 

I need help to solve this annoying problem happened to me yesterday 

 

I was driving my skoda octavia 2017 SE L TSI and i adjusted my rear view mirror all of sudden orange hazard light came on the dash along with FRONT ASSIST UNAVAILABLE 

 

My car is at only 40,000 miles and no accident happened or nothing went wrong 

traction control is on 

i tried changing modes ( Eco, Normal, sport, individual) but nothing worked 

any help or suggestions will be appreciated

We really need a proper scan of the car via ODBEleven or VCDS to assist further.  You can owners of those devices elsewhere on the forum.

Where you went wrong is in adjusting your mirror!   I did that and my front main beam auto dip stopped working. There's a camera in the mirror so I suspect moving it has caused something to come loose.

Front assist is done by a front radar located in the front upper/lower grill. Nothing at all to do with the lane/high beam camera you are referring to I assume.

 

The interior mirror has no camera in it at all, the 2 options for camera that control lane assist are the 55 camera located in the back of the rear view mirror mount (although most cars wont have this), or the A5 camera above the rear view mirror area which is identifiable by its triangular shape on the windscreen upper area.

I thought it was tied in to the lane departure camera which is in the mirror?

i went to mechanic and he told me the code is C1103 but he can’t fix it 

he told me to go to dealers

May be I don’t know 

Realignment process is needed. I saw a realignment card on here and I think it can be realigned using VCDS if I remember right (will look at it later)

It will need looking at as to what caused the misalignment, the brackets can rust and brake, an impact could cause it, reason work on the suspension and some other things.

 

if none of these are found to be the cause then it needs an ADAS radar calibration. 
It needs a diagnostic tool, some very accurate tape measures and a very flat surface to be done DIY.

This sounds perfect 

so i will ask them to check these things 1st before recalibration 

thank you so much

That has nothing to do with front assist, the A5 camera is used for lane assist but not front assist.

@PetrolDave or @ApertureS can you give a full list of the features that use data from the A5 camera - and (depending on options) how many different windscreen-mounted cameras were used on MY16 vehicles?      

Front mounted cameras? - I've owned 2 Octavias with 2 different cameras, a 20 lowline camera that only does HBA and an A5 highline camera that does HBA, TSR and lane assist.

 

AFAIK side assist needs addition rear mounted radars and does use any cameras.

Spot on,

 

side assist/blind spot assist uses a radar mounted on the rear 2 corners behind the bumper, very similar to the front assist radar. No cameras for this.

Hello guys thank you so much for all help 

finally got it done 

they have re arranged radar sensor

warning light is gone now

@Shubh was it merely an adjustment required to the radar sensor - or had there been some damage to the mountings?
