Cupra could take a leaf out of Dacia and Renault's book.

Double assignment of the voice button, for example on the steering wheel. Press twice briefly and the driver assistance systems I preselected are switched off.
Press twice again and they are back on, instead of having to go through the Command menu in a complicated way.
My Safety Perso. mode by button press is a really good idea.

Hmmm... You also have the assist button on the steering wheel... Left thumb, right thumb, done. It’s not really any more complicated now, is it?

 

[Ponyhof1]

What do you mean by the Assi button? Is there a key combination that does something specific?

 

[Schmitzibu]

Left side of the steering wheel. Assistance button. Press it once. A list of the assistance functions appears on the left side of the instrument cluster. You scroll through it with the right thumb wheel and press to toggle each one on or off.

For example, Lane Assist is just left thumb, right thumb, left thumb (that’s how I do it anyway, because swiping on the screen is too annoying for me AND if the Lane Assist complains again because it mistakes the shadow of a guardrail for a lane marking, I’d rather have both hands on the wheel and my eyes straight ahead).

Press the assistant button (circle with car), then a dropdown bar appears in the cockpit, where you can use the wheel on the right to select the position and activate or deactivate the position by pressing the wheel, or switch between Acc and TA.

Edit: Too slow, but with both explanations it might be easier to understand.

Nonsense was written here

And while the eyes are focused on the menus, bang.
I just think that the other mentioned "affordable" brand has put more thought into what the customer wants. Simple operation within the limits of the law.
And if I can switch off the preselected assistance systems with a double click or a long press of a button, that is very convenient. Without having to look at any screens. Especially from Cupra, I expect them to push the boundaries of the law. If everything is switched back on after the engine starts, that is also compliant.

 

[Schmitzibu]

You don’t need a menu for that. You just look at the speedometer and that’s it.

But sure... there’s always room for improvement. Why not send a suggestion for improvement to Cupra!

The legislator who came up with this fun idea basically doesn’t want it to be switched off quickly and easily; otherwise, they could have spared themselves the trouble.

And with a bit of practice, the described procedure can be done without having to look at the cockpit (which you would have to do anyway if you want to see how fast you’re going, whether there’s enough range left, etc.). You can also do it completely safely before setting off.

Perhaps one shouldn’t get all worked up over such a minor detail.

 

[Ponyhof1]

No matter how you look at it. The others simply did it better. Cupra has at least thought about allowing you to switch them off individually with a swipe down. That’s fine, they have recognised the problem and created the option to make it somewhat "easier". Legally, however, it is possible to make it even simpler. It just requires enough people who want it. There doesn’t even have to be any change to the hardware.

And while the eyes are focused on the menus, it goes bang.

Why should it go bang??? Simply deselect the rubbish BEFORE DRIVING OFF!!!

 

[Killboy]

I already switch it off after "vehicle start off"

Meine Gewohnheit: Einsteigen, Zündung einschalten, im Infotainment OK drücken oder abwarten, bis es von selbst weg ist, in dieser Zeit anschnallen und eventuell kleine Utensilien iin der Mittelkonsole unterbringen, runter wischen und S/S+Warner ausschalten, Motor an uns los geht's. Manchmal auch direkt Motor an und dann runter wischen und alles ausmachen.
