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 a vehicle is not
detected 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. These vehicles can only be
detected once they have moved
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 the front end of the 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 operation.
System Not Available
Conditions which can cause the system to
deactivate or prevent the system from
activating when requested include:
•
a blocked sensor

• a failure in the system or a related
system.

WARNINGS
Do not use the system when towing
a trailer with brake controls.
Aftermarket trailer brakes will not
function properly when the system is
activated because the brakes are
electronically controlled. Failing to do so
may result in loss of vehicle control, which
could result in serious injury.
