The invention relates to a vehicle part (2) intended to be placed facing an emission cone of a radar sensor (4), the radar sensor (4) being configured to emit an electromagnetic wave (6) the electric field of which comprises a component (E1) oscillating in a direction of interest (P1), said part (2) comprising a system (12) for deicing the part (2). According to the invention, the deicing system (12) comprises a set (13) of slender heatable elements (14), at least one sub-set of said set of slender heatable elements (14) being located in the emission cone of the radar sensor (4) and being configured so that each slender heatable element (14) of said sub-set is placed on the part (2) so as to extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the main polarization direction (P1) of the radar sensor when the part (2) is placed facing the radar sensor (4).
