Detection Issues

The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. It may not detect vehicles

at all or detect a vehicle later than expected in some situations. The lead

vehicle graphic will not illuminate if the system does not detect a vehicle

in front of you.

In these cases the system may brake late or unexpectedly. You should

stay alert and intervene when necessary.

If the front end of your vehicle is hit or damaged, the radar sensing zone

may be altered causing missed or false vehicle detections. See your

authorized dealer to have the radar checked for proper coverage and

Several conditions exist which can cause the system to deactivate or

prevent the system from activating when requested. These conditions

• a blocked sensor

• high brake temperature

• a failure in the system or a related system.
