Small rectangle under the reg plate???

[CDR]

Hi Folks,

Does anyone know what the small rectangle is under the reg plate? I was wondering is it a sensor?

Looks like a Lidar sensor.

Yes, it's the radar for the adaptive cruise.

Thanks. Yes I got two warnings that the front radar was blocked. Tey reset themselves after a few mins

The ZS doesn't have Lidar, it's the radar sensor cover.

Has anyone had a problem (maybe only in Australia?) with their number plates partly obscuring this radar? Ours seems to partly cover it

There's not much grace when you fit the number plate, I bought a chrome surround and raised it up and have no problem, I know if it gets really dirty or covered in snow etc. you get a warning.

You are absolutely bang on @Dave53.
If was in a similar location on my previous VW Golf.
When we have driving snow, it would block out the sensor and send a message to the driver, informing that the system was not available at this present time.

The MG's sensor doesn't get blocked by snow in my experience, seems to be in a good position.
My Ateca's radar was behind the Seat badge on the grille and it always got blocked driving in snow.

Do you live in Scotland it sticks to the sensor, had a warning on two occasions when snowing but it was bad, anything that close to the road is going to give issues at some point.

Yes that happened on my Suzuki Baleno
