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.
E71621
Detection issues can occur:
When driving on a different line
than the vehicle in front. A
With vehicles that edge into your
lane. The system can only detect
these vehicles once they move
fully into your lane. B
There may be issues with the
detection of vehicles in front
when driving into and coming out
of a bend or curve in the road. C
In these cases the system may brake late
or unexpectedly. The driver should stay
alert and intervene when necessary.
If something hits the front end of your
vehicle or damage occurs, the
radar-sensing zone may change. This could
cause missed or false vehicle detections.
See an authorized dealer to have the radar
checked for proper coverage and
operation.
System Not Available
Conditions that can cause the system to
deactivate or prevent the system from
activating when requested include:
•
A blocked sensor.
• High brake temperature.
• A failure in the system or a related
system.
Blocked Sensor
WARNINGS
Do not use the system when towing
a trailer with brake controls.
Aftermarket trailer brakes will not
function properly when you switch the
system on because the brakes are
electronically controlled. Failing to do so
may result in loss of vehicle control, which
could result in serious injury.
Do not use tire sizes other than those
recommended because this can
affect the normal operation of the
system. Failing to do so may result in a loss
of vehicle control, which could result in
serious injury.
