Collision warning with Auto-brake*
WARNING
•
The camera has the same limitations as
the human eye. In other words, its
"vision is impaired" by adverse weather
conditions such as heavy snowfall,
dense fog, etc. These conditions may
reduce the function of systems that
depend on the camera or cause these
systems to temporarily stop function-
ing.
•
04
Never place any objects, decals, etc.,
on the windshield in front of the camera.
This could reduce or block the camera's
function, and could cause one or more
of the systems that utilize the camera to
stop functioning.
•
Strong sunlight, reflections from the
road surface, ice or snow covering the
road, a dirty road surface, or unclear
lane marker lines may drastically reduce
the camera's capacity to detect the side
of a lane or another vehicle.
Cause
The surface of the windshield in front of the camera is dirty or covered
with ice or snow.
Fog, heavy rain or snow is interfering with the function of the camera.

Fault tracing and actions
If the message Windshield sensors
blocked
is displayed, this means that the cam-
era is obscured and cannot detect vehicle or
road marker lines in front of the vehicle.
This, in turn, means that Collision Warning with
Auto-brake, Lane Departure Warning, and
Driver Alert Control will not have full function-
ality.
The table lists possible causes for this mes-
sage being displayed, and suitable actions.
Action
Clean or clear the section of the windshield in front of the camera.
No action possible. Heavy precipitation may affect the function of the
camera.
