Cause

Action

The surface of the radar in the
grille is dirty or obstructed in
some way

Clean the grille surface in front of
the radar or remove the object
causing the obstruction

The surface of the radar in the
grille is clean but the message
remains in the display

Wait a short time. It may take
several minutes for the radar to
detect that it is no longer
obstructed

Heavy rain, spray, snow, or fog is
interfering with the radar signals

Do not use the Collision Warning
System in these conditions
because it may not detect, warn,
or respond to potential collisions

Swirling water, or snow or ice on
the surface of the road may
interfere with the radar signals

Do not use the Collision Warning
System in these conditions
because it may not detect, warn,
or respond to potential collisions

Activating/deactivating collision warning system

To turn the warning system and/or chime on or off and set the warning
sensitivity <– –>, refer to Message center in the Instrument Cluster
chapter.

Note: If the system cannot be turned off in a MyKey™ equipped vehicle,
refer to MyKey™ in the Locks and Security chapter for more
information.

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. Refer to the Message center in the Instrument Cluster
chapter for instructions on reducing the sensitivity.

ACTIVE PARK ASSIST (APA) (IF EQUIPPED)

Active Park Assist (APA) will detect an available parallel parking space
and automatically steer the vehicle into the space (hands free) while you
control the accelerator, gearshift and brakes. The system will visually
and/or audibly instruct the driver to park the vehicle.
