in a vehicle equipped with MyKey®,
Note: If collision warnings are perceived
as being too frequent or disturbing then
the warning sensitivity can be reduced,
though the manufacturer recommends
using the highest sensitivity setting where
possible. Setting lower sensitivity would
lead to fewer and later system warnings.
See General Information (page 97).

detected and the collision warning system
does not function. The following table lists
possible causes and actions for this
message being displayed.
