Cruise Control
Blocked Sensor
E145632
Cause
A message appears if something obstructs
the sensor's radar signals. The sensor is
located behind a cover near the driver side
of the lower grille. The system cannot detect
a vehicle ahead and does not function when
something obstructs the radar signal.
Note: You cannot see the sensor, it is behind
a fascia panel.
The following table lists possible causes and
actions for this message displaying.
Clean the grille surface in front of the radar or remove the object
causing the obstruction.
Wait a short time. It may take several minutes for the radar to detect
that it is free from obstruction.
Do not use the system in these conditions because it may not detect
any vehicles ahead.
Do not use the system in these conditions because it may not detect
any vehicles ahead.
Wait a short time or switch to normal cruise control.
