Precautions While Driving With Fcw - Jeep Renegade 2016 Owner's Manual

EVIC/DID will display "FCW Front Radar Sensor Tem-
porarily Blocked" and the system will deactivate.
The "FCW Front Radar Sensor Temporarily Blocked"
message can sometimes be displayed while driving in
highly reflective areas (i.e. tunnels with reflective tiles, or
ice and snow). The system will recover after the vehicle
has left these areas. Under rare conditions, when the
radar is not tracking any vehicles or objects in its path
this warning may temporarily occur.
If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver should
examine the sensor. It may require cleaning or removal of
an obstruction. The sensor is located behind the lower
grille. In absence of visible obstructions on the bumper, it
could be necessary to wipe off the radar directly on the
surface, after having the radar cover removed. It's rec-
ommended that your authorized dealer perform's this
operation.
NOTE:
• If the "FCW Front Radar Sensor Temporarily Blocked"
message occurs frequently (e.g. more than once on
every trip) without any snow, rain, mud, or other
obstruction, have the radar sensor realigned at your
authorized dealer.
• Installing a snow plow, front-end protector, an after-
market grille or modifying the grille is not recom-
mended. Doing so may block the sensor and inhibit
FCW operation.
